THE CURRENCY BILL.
CONTINUED from Page one)

10 sustain the administration for
treasury notes. When the committee
ADJOURNED. tonight, there was pending
proposal advanced by Senator Craw-
FORD to allow the regional banks TO
DO general commercial banking bus
mess. The amendments adopted. to-
day, With Senator Crawfords amend
ment. Chairman owen declared, would
Alter the entire theory of the bill"
We started out" he said. ito write
a bill which would provide a bank of
banks, with the power TO re-diseount
and of issue. and which would mo-
Billie the banking reserves. Now we
have shifted to a public owned. gov
ernment-controlled bank, and it is
proposed to let it do a general bank
ing business in competition with the
5000 banks throughout the country.
Senator Owen SAID that so far as he
knew no call had been issued for a
Democratic caucus on the currency
bill.
"H a caucus is called he said, Il
suppose it will be simply to find out
what the committee is doing, and why
affirmative action has not been taken
on the bill. 1t will be an advisory
conference
Senators Reed and Hitchcock.
Democrats. Joined the. five Republi-
cans in voting for the resolution de-
spite the protests of Senators Owen,
Pomerene, Shafreth, Hollis and O'Gor-
man, the other Democrats. Jointly
framed by Senators Reed. Hitchcock
and Weeks. the resolution was re-
garded by some as the basis of
compromise between the White House
and the senators in control on the
committee.
The provision in the House bill to
compel national banks to subscribe
10 per cent. of their capital to the
new system, under penalty of losing
their charter, would be eliminated. If
after 60 days the public had not sub
scribed all the capital, the banks en-
tering the system, would be required
to take up the remaining stock. That
was one of the proposals in the VAN
derlip plan.
Control of the regional banks was
settled by a compromise resolution Of
fered by Senator Weeks. providing
that each regional bank have nine di7
rectors, five to be selected by the gov
eminent Federal reserve board and
four by the banks. Under the House
bill six of the nine would be chosen by
the banks.
The action, today, is thought to
have cleared the way for an agree
ment in the committee and may has
ten progress of the bill.
President Wilson has been conduct
ing informal conferences with Demo-
cratic senators over the currency sit
uation and many are urging party
conference, not necessarily in the
sense Of a caucus but as a movement
to make the Democratic party sponsor
for the bill in the form the admins
tration wants it shaped.
