CURRENCY LAW IS
MONTHS DISTANT
Middle Of February Now Is
Time Expected For Enact.
ment-Report Withheld.

No enactment OF a currency bill be-
fore late in January or perhaps the
middle of February is probable. This is
the drift Of the best-informed talk in
Senate circles today. Rumors are cur
rent of adjournment about November
%. Strong pressure is brought on the
leaders for adjournment. because the
members want their mileage. President
Wilson is averse to 1t, but may yield.
1t is clear that no currency bill can
be reported until late this month. and
no progress in discussing 1t worth the
mention can be made in the special
session. The real debate will not begin
until the regular session. 1t will be
protracted.
The Administration Democrats on the
committee-Senators Owen, O'Gorman.
Reed, Shafroth, Pomerene. and Hollis
have completed their revision Of the
House bill. 1t is little changed from
the House bill in principle and still pro-
vides for a bankers reserve banking
system, to be owned by the banks and
largely controlled by the banks. The
Administration men have allowed them
selves to be maneuvered into the po-
sition of defending such system
trolled system. The latter is the plan
for which the Republican members Of
the committee and Senator Hitchcock
are working.
Opponents Of the bank-owned. bank
controlled system are going to make
the issue clear to the country before
the Senate debate ends.
1t was the intention to try to come
to some understanding about a report
to the Senate at the meeting of the
Committee on Banking and Currency
today. but the Republicans on the COM
mittee and Senator Hitchcock have not
completed their bill. and will not have
II finished for several days.
