FOUR REGIONAL
BANK TENTATIVE
CURRENCY PLAN

Washington. ID. e., Nov. i.-Th.
tentative decision Of the senate COM
mittec for four regional banks de-
velopcd considerable discussion out
side the committee today. Senators
expressed wide variance OF opinions
and from the White House came the
intimation that the administrat tion
feared the radical reduction might
encourage Il concentration OF money
and credit which President Wilson
and his advisors have sought to
avoid.
Senator Kern. the Democratic
leader. discouraged a persistent re-
port that the Democrats would take
the bill into caucus and make 1t II
party measure. Senator Hoke Smith
declared that II the number of banks
were reported from the committee at
four. the bill probably would be
amended In the senate.
The committee today continued Its
discussion OF plans for capitalizing
the regional banks.
The question of capitalization was
reduced to two amendments. visor-
ously debated. but not voted on.
Senator. Hitchcock presented one
providing for total capitalization o!
500. 900. 900 open to public subscrip-
ton, but requiring the national
hanks to underwrite 1t.
