ALEXANDR|AAFFA|RS S|FT OFF TILL FALL
Committee Postpones In
quiry Into Money Trust.
DATA NOT NOW AVAILABL
Political Campaign Also Cited by
Chairman Pujo as Reason
for Move.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Because of its
lack of power to obtain necessary data,
the so-called money trust investigation in
its main scope will not be taken up until
fall. This announcement was made by
Chairman Pujo of the Investigating COM
mittee at the opening Of the hearing in
New York today.
MIR. Pujos announcement says in part:
There will be no testimony taken at this
time nor until the autumn upon the main
branch of the inquiry. In view of the in
sistence by certain of the leading financial
institutions whose affairs ii may become
necessary to investigate that the COM
mitteee is without power to enforce It's
demands for information, the committee
adheres to the conclusion that II is not
advisable to take up the main inquiry
until all doubt as to the power of the
committee to conduct the inquiry on the
lines that it believes to be necessary mas
been removed by the passage of the pend
ing bill to amend the banking law, Wnlcn
has passed the House, and is now before
the finance committee of the Senate
Months for Preparation.
1T will require months of painstaking
investigation and preparation after the
proposed legislation has been enacted to
secure the data that is essential to the
inquiry. The prevalent impression that
this can be accomplished by merely ex-
aiming witnesses demonstrates the pop
ular miSconception of the character Oh
the task and the constructive results
sought to be obtained. The field of in
curry is so vast and the subject so high
ly technical and specialized that the
work. if attempted in that way, would
prove endless and aimless.
THE committee considers 1t inadvisabie
In any event to conduct this important
and far-reaching economic inquiry during
the heat and excitement of political
camraign and has not from the outset
contemplated any such course. 1t has
been recognized as imperative that the
public confidence in the judicial attitude
Of the committee shall be beyond sus-
picion and for that additional reason the
committee has not considered pursuing
the main branch of the investigation until
after the election.
