Measure Only Possibility Now

In Quiet Ways Working to Block
the Passage of General Law

Des Moines.-Reports from Washing.
ton state that Senator Kenyon has ex.
pressed the belief that the situation

eral currency legislation could be
enacted at the special session of con-
gress. He thinks bill may be passed
providing for emergency currency, en-
bodying some notifications of the
Vreeland measure, which is now a law.
If the attempt is made to enact a
general currency law, he doubts whe-
Their 1t will be possible to pass it be-
fore the regular session, even If con-
gress, is kept here all fall,
The house will pass the bill as the
administration wants it but the stu
alton in the senate is badly up in the
air, owing to the opposition of many
democrats who are quietly trying to
block general legislation at this time.
In some quarters it is declared the
administration bill cannot get out of
the senate banking and currency com
mittee.
