HANDS QFF ~ ALIEN LAND LAW.
Wilson Says Federal Government
will not Interfere I'm California.

Washington. April 9.-While Presi-
dent Wilson let it be known today.
after a conference with Representative
Baker, that the Federal Government
would not interfere with the action of
the California Legislature in the pend
ing alien land law there, aimed princi-
paIy at Japan, it is understood in Of
hcial circles that neither President
Wilson nor Secretary Bryan will de-
sist using their good offices in a per-
sonal way to avert what the Japanese
Government might construe as an af-
front.
The President let it be known today
that 1t was not his purpose to attempt
interference with the sovereignty of q
state, but that, of course, any legisla-
ton affecting treaty reports was SUBJ
Ject to review by the Supreme Court.
Diplomatists pointed out today that
another question also involving obliga-
uons Is pending between Japan and
the United States-that of the fur
seal convention. Former President
Tart just before leaving office, urged
Congress TO pass certain laws that
the United States might not be "re
miss in observing treaty obligations"
Great Britain, too, has made repre-
sentations on what it claims to be a
non-fullfillment Of the fur seal treaty.
1t is suggested now that any charge
of breach of treaty obligations with
Japan and Great Britain on the Cali
fornia legislation and fur seal question
might become a factor in the pending
negotiations between the United States
and Great Britain over the exemption
Of American coastwise ships from
canal tolls, which Great Britain also
contends to be breach Of a treaty
obligation.

TIE PRESIDENTS $ DIRECT
SPEECH.
Carries Out His Lofty Ideal of Re-
spOnsibillty OF The Executive to The
People.

New York Commercial.
1t is natural enough to look for
some special cause for the departure
from so long an established custom,
for such things are never arbitrary.
1t seems likely that it will become, SO
far as President Wilson is concerned,
a permanent practice, if the probable
origin Of this innovation, or rather
recrudescencc, should prove to he the
correct explanation. Indeed, Presi
dent Wilson has intimated something
to this effect.
That is his desire to keep in close
touch with the course of legislation
and to promote by all means possible
his own participation in the intimacies
of the work of law-maliing so far rs
that can be done, without provoking
the jealousy of prerogative in n CO.
ordinate branch of the Government
which is very sensitive as to it's own
rights. Another proposed step which
the President has indicated as his fu
ture purpose would refer itself to the
same motive. The presidents room
except as a convenient place to sign
bills on the last day Of a session, when
q tremendous rush drives everything
at race-hOrse speed. The Wilson pur-
pose has been announced as involving
the use Of this chamber as an annex
of his White House offices, when i'm
pOrtant legislation is in the thick OF
conflict, Here he can survey the bat
tie in Senate or House like a general
in the field, and take large part by
direct personal influence in the deter
initiation Of events in whatever way Of
fetal prOpriety permits. The Presi-
dents statement too, that he will not
hesitate to appeal to the people when
ever he feels that Congress is not
quite up to the mark in the attitude
which it takes toward the necessities
Of the nation has an extraordinary in
terest in this connection. By just
what means he will do this has not
been indicated.
These things are eloquent indicia
that President Wilson carries q lofty
ideal Of the duties Of his great office;
that he aims to be not only an impor-
tant accident in history, but a max
er of history. They portend one of
the most interesting administrations,
with possibilities Of political evolu-
ton, which have occurred for many q
long year. The President will make
his function an exalted one ,and the
experiment which he seems to be am
'tiuous Ia make, to lift the Govern
ment Of the nation to q higher plane
Of public duty, if he can accomplish
it. will make him the schoolmaster Of
great people.

London, April 11.-Indications of q
peaceful settlement contine fav-
orablc. The Belgrade correspondent
OF The Daily Telegraph asserts that
Servia has decided on Russia's adj
vice, to withdraw all the Servian
troops now investing Scutari.
The international blockade of the
coast .etween Antivari and the Drin
river began at o'clock Thursday
morning. All ships within the block
ade were allowed As hours in which
to depart.
The Russian government issued a
long official communication last night
explaining the efforts of the powers
TO arrange settlement of the Bal
kan problem and justifying Russia 8
consent to the annexation of Scutari
to Albania on the ground that this is
necessary in order to preserve peace
and because Scutari is purely an AL
panian town, the annexation Of which
oy Montenegro would prove only a
source OF embarrassment, weakening
instead of strengthening Montenegro.
Ii the communication it is charged
that King Nicholas broke the en-
gagement into which he entered to
secure Russias consent before re-
sorting to war. and adds: "Neverthe-
less the Russian emperor magnani-
mously assisted Montenegro to attain
its legitimate aims, and warned King
Nicholas that pursuance Of personal
aims with respect to Scutari would
only condemn his people to useless
massacre.
These warnings were ignored, ap-
parently because King Nicholas be-
heved that continued resistance would
embroil Russia and the great powers
In a European war. Russia, therefore.
was compelled to act in concert with
the powers in coercing Montenegro,
but still hopes that the display of in
ternational naval power will induce
Montenegro to bow to the will of Eu-
rope. in which case the powers will
find means of alleviating the lot of
the Montenegrin people who are over
whelmed by the excessive sacrifices
entailed by the siege of Scutari."

Washington, April 1O.-New cur
rency reform bills were introduced in
the House today by Representatives
Prouty, Of Iowa; Nelson, Of Wiscon-
sin, and Palmer, of PENNSYLVANIA.
Congress now has nearly a dozen bills.
covering all branches Of banking and
currency reform, but none of which
bear the endorsement Of the financial
committees OF the two houses or of
President Wilson
Representative Carter Glass, who
probably will introduce the measure
about which money reform debate
will centre in the House, conferred to-
day with Secretary McAdoo, Of the
treasury, who has been gathering in
formation from banks upon certain
phases Of the financial situation.
Mr.. Glass said at the end of the con-
florence that there will be no differ
ence Of opinion between himself and
the Secretary of the Treasury over
the bill that he will introduce.
An effort will be made in the SEN
ate to have further hearings, particu-
larly on the subject of money strin-
gency at crop moving times and the
sectional demands" for money. Sem
ator Hitchcock, a member of the
banking and currency committee of
the Senate, said today he would ask
for hearings at which more detailed
facts could be obtained, as to local
demands for money and local prob
lens that should be considered when
Congress finally takes up the work of
reforming currency methods.
Three general bills now are before
the Senate. The Weeks bill embraces
the plan of the national monetary
commission for a national reserve as
sociation or central bank, through
which all banks will secure their note
currency. The Hitchcock bill proposes
twenty distinct reserve associations,
each with the power to issue notes to
its members and to buy and sell COM
mercial paper The Jones bill propos-
es sixteen sub-treasury districts, each
sub-treasury being empowered to is
sue currency to banks on approved
bonds. Under this bill a permanent
national monetary commission would
be established
OF the bills, introduced today that
of Representative Nelson proposes a
national currency board Of seven
members with power to issue treasury
notes through local associations of
reserve and discount"
That Of Representative Prouty
would create new emergency cur
rency, similar to that created by the
Aldrich-Vreland law now in force;
but which would be much more as
cessible for banks. Under this meas
urc the emergency notes, in amount
equal to so per cent Of a banks cap
ital and surplus, could be stored in the
banks vaults and put into circula-
ton with consent Of the comptroller
Of the currency.
Representative Palmer's bill and
one introduced earlier in the week by
Senator Hoke Smith would give
banks the right to loan money upon
real estate mortgages and convey
ances. A general banking bill has
also been introduced by Representative
Levy, of New York.
