committees of both houses of Congress.
1t is understood his purpose is to learn
Just what changes are likely to be de-
manded in the new Glass Owen -McAdoo
currency bill by its critics and op-
ponents in the Senate and House.
The publication of the bill by Chair
man Glass was with President Wilson 5
approval and to give members the op-
portunity to know the details of the
plan of monetary reforms. Tonight the
President talked at length with MEM
bers of House committee, next
Wednesday he is to confer with mem-
bers of the Senate committee and later
he Will talk over the bill with repub-
lican senators who have been closely
identified with previous efforts at cur
rency reform.
Antagonism to present action on the
currency and criticism of the new bill
as agreed upon by the administration
leaders became well defined among SEN
ators today. While there is no organ

Comments Guarded

Comments on the measure by SEN
ators were guarded. but several ex-
pressed the belief that the provision
asked by Senator owen for the retire
ment of national bank notes and the
refunding of the two per cent govern
ment bonds now securing that currency,
with a three per cent issue should have
been left in the bill. The most strik-
ing criticism of the measure came from
Senator Nelson, a republican member
of the Senate currency committee.
1.-The bill made public by Mr.. Glass
seems to me but a temporary make
shift" he said, "and amounts to no
more than the Aldrich Vreeland emer-
gency currency law. 1t is simply a
revision for emergency currency and IS
more cumbrous in its character than
the Vreeland bill. While it processes

reserve associations it leaves control
