HEADS A "PROPAGANDA"

Declares the Charge Is
"MOOnshinc."

WAsHISGTOS, sept. 1.-SenatOr Robere
l.. Owen. chairman OF the Senate Banking
aud Currency Committee. charged tonight
that the National city Bank OF New
York Is promoting and directing a propa-
ganda to dlscrcdit the Administra TONS
monetary reform bill The Senator de.
clared that n deliberate effort is being
made to mislead the country and to con-
vey the false suggestion that tho Ad-
ministration is proceeding TO n revision
Of the banking and currency law without
having given the bankers OF the country
a hearing.
Senator owen accuses one New York
newspaper in particular of having sent
misleading Inquiries broadcast. This state-
ment by the chairman of the senate COM
mittee coming as IL does on the appear
ance in Washington OF the committee of
bankers representing the Chicago confer
ence. has caused a stir here.
1t is the second time that the Adminis.
tration and its advisers have accused the
National city Bank or other New York
banks OF having conspired To discredit
the banking and currency bill. In the
first instance Secretary McAdoo charged
that New York bankers were purposely
depressing the price of 2 per cent bonds
to create hostility on tn. part Of th.
country banks to the pending legislation.
Charge Il In q Letter.
Senator owens statement takes the
form OF a letter to James Simpson. vice.
president Of Marshall Field & Co. ~
Chicago. The letter IL sent to Mr.. Simp-
son becau use ne was one OF the business men
Of the country who responded to "ths
misleading inquiry" sent out by the New
York newspaper.
In his letter Chairman owen says:
The propaganda now being carried
on. led by the National city Bank of
New York. which has circularized the
country against the bill. is obviously in
tended to discredit the Administration
and 10 make II appear that the bankers
have not been consulted and that the
committee IL not we'll Informed. This
Misrepresentation has the effect OF poison
Ing tho public mind and misleading pub
lie opinion.
such Misrepresentation will thus pro-
mote a private interest against the pub
lie interest. II is an open secret that
these great concerns like Morgan & Co.
have publicity agents to whom they pay
very large salaries. and who are able
TO create fictitious and false public
opinion unduly favorabl. to the Conten-
tions OF these great financial companies.
The business men of the country need
hav. no fear that their Representatives
and Senators in Congress will act un-
advisedly. The representatives of tho
big banks of the country have been given
he most abundant opportunity to be heard.
And after they had their Chicago meet
ing and presented anew their old con-
tentions and requested further hearings,
this opportunity was Immediately af-
forded by telegraph and the hearings set
