FOR FINAL ROUND
ON CURRENCY BILL
Senate Committee Locks
Doors and Takes Up Task
of Recasting Measure.

The final struggle over the admins
tration currency bill in the Senate
banking and currency committee be-
gan today. The committee went into
executive session to consider amend
ments to the measure, with a well de-
fined sentiment in favor of a govern
ment-controlled central bank in evil
dence.
With strong opposition to the central
bank plan apparent in the House and
from the White House, the committee
will probably be unable to write that
principle into the bill. general COM
promise on the various provisions Of the
administration bill is looked for. The
President has already conceded reduc-
ton in the number of regional banks
fixed by the bill at twelve and the
elimination of the Secretary of Ag.icu
ture and the controller of the currency
from the federal reserve board
Stronger Central Board.
Along this line the committee will prob
ably strengthen the central board by pro-
viding for longer term of service pos
sibly fourteen years, and may eliminate
the banks from the control of the regional
banks by cutting down the bank repre-
sentation in the directorates, fixed by
the bill at six out OF nine directors.
amendments Will De cDnSIu6T6u u cilIAi-
nate the provision forcing banks to sub
scribe to the stock of the regional banks
by allowing public subscriptions to the
stock or providing that the government
furnish the capital In either case a
strong government directorate would be
created.
When the committee went into ex-
ecutive session it had before 1t three
tentative bills provid. for government
controlled central banks. drawn at the
request One was the plan
advanced by Frank A. Vanderlip last
week, one was framed by Charles A.
Conant, financial expert of the Bank of
Commerce of New York, and one was
formulated by Jeremiah W. jerks. pro-
fessor of economics at the University
of the City of New York.
Prof. jerks Is Heard.
Prof jerks was before the Senate
banking and currency committee today
explaining the plan worked out by him
self at the request of members of the
committee for central government bank
with branches. His plan differs from that
of Mr.. Vanderlip In that 1t Is based as
far as possible on the Glass-Owen bill,
merely changing the provisions of that
bill around SO as to provide for a central
government saIlk with branches, instead
of the regional reserve system.
1t probably will be two weeks or longer
before the committee is ready to report.

enacted the owners Of property would
be more careful before leasing the

Describing the is,hmian canal as 1.-The
dream Of the ages" he said that soon
this dream would be realized. Its COM
pletion," he declared, will mean the
attainment of the hopes Of the United
States for commercial supremacy-that
supremacy which comes not from ac-
QUESTION Of foreign territory or from
triumph in war, but from superiority in
leadership In all the arts of peace. 1t
will mean that the Great Father Of
Waters will be restored to his ancient
our great internal commerce.
1T will mean that our ports will be
thronged with the shipping Of the ma
tons, bringing to our shores the products
of every land, and taking in exchange
the surplus treasures from our fields, our
mines our forests and our manufactures.
1t will mean that the larger part of that
great tide of commerce which now pours
its golden tribute into the ports Of the

of the south Atlantic and gulf states and
that the south once more will regain its
former financial and commercial SUI
