THE CURRENCY CONSPIRACY

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
need not disclose the source of the
information upon which he based his
charge that there was conspiracy of
New York bankers to defeat cur
rency legislation through depression
of government bonds.
The secretary of the treasury is
relieved. of the extraordinary embar-
rassment incident to making good on
his charges, thanks to the efforts
of Congressman Underwood, who
whipped four to one majority into
line in the house on Tuesday
The secretary's charges were made
Immediately after United States per
cent bonds had been forced down to
96H on the New York Stock ex-
change.
Secretary McAdoo said directly or
by unmistakable intinlation that he
had information disclosing New
York bankers. conspiracy to defeat
currency legislation, behind the de
preston of the bonds ssS
Like President Wilson's insidious
lobby charges, Secretary McAdoo's
bankers conspiracy charges were
good public sentiment builders Nat
urally enough. thousands of men as
intense as they were ignorant OF
everything connected with the cur
rency problem could be expected to
become wildly enthusiastic for cur
rency bill opposed by a bankers
conspiracy,
Equally, as matter of course, the
congressional opponents of the ad-
ministration. bill could be expected 70
seize upon the secretary's charges as
a means of confusing him and retard-
ing the passage OF the bill
They fathercd resolution calling
upon him to disclose the sources of
his information to the house, which
meant disclose them to the nation.
Perhaps the secretary of the treas
ury had some information from which
he could deduee the basis of his
charges. Perhaps he had Information
more direct and definite than that.
If he had nothing more than the
basis for surmise, disclosure of that
fact would involve political disaster.
If he had some real information dis
closure would involve financial dis
aster for those who furnished it to
him.
The level headed Underwood who
denounced Mulhall as a scoundrel and
a blackmailer took charge of the job
Of averfing another Muliiall mess and
the protection of the secretary who
had talked too much
On Tuesday Underwood lined up
vote of 2l0 to IS and buried the .reso-
luton calling for a disclosure on the
part of Secretary McAdoo.
The public may think what it
pieases about the reality of bank
ers' conspiracy. The progress of the
administration bill will not be side
tracked for an investigation akin to
the Mulhall affair, nor will the secre-
tary of the treasury be forced TO adj
NIT that he used his official hat for
megaphone

FERRY T ALES
BY LINDSAY CAMPBELL

!" HERE was published in this col
umn a few days ago letter from
woman who complained that
were not as helpful to women passen-
gers as they might be. "On the South
ern Pacific trains she wrote, "the con-
ductors help the women and children
to alight from the cars. On the Key
Route the conductors turn their backs
on the passengers as. soon as the train
stops at the mole and women and chill
dren get out of the train as best they
may" and so forths M
The condition as &Esards~ the Key
Route trains was exactly u as described.
IT is not the case now. That letter ap-
pears to have been read In the right
spirit by somebody able to recognize q
shortcoming when 1t was pointed out
and endowed with the authority to ap-
ply the remedy. The trouble was cured
with one application / made a spe-
cial trip over the Key Route to see
for myself, and found the conductors
all transformed into smiling Lord
Chesterfieids and helpful Walter Ra-
leighs.
Which shows that comparisons, al
though odious. are also stimula ting. 1t
also illustrates the folly of suffering in
silence Likewise and lastly it con-
firms the popular suspicion that the
Key Route officials are In earnest in
their desire to give the public good
service. And in conclusion it demon
strates the value of the ferry tale coll
umn as a megaphone.
