CURRENCY REFORM
GOES TO THE FRONT
WIDELY DIVERGENT VIEWS ARE
HELD BY DEMOCRATS ON
BANKING REFORM.
MANY CHANGES SUGGESTED
With Tariff Out Of the Way, Demo
cratic Leaders Will Center 81
forts on Money Legislation.

Observation-Disclosures Washington,
relieved of the long drawn out con
sideration OF the tariff, will focus its
attention on the second OF the Dem
ocratic reform measures - banking
and currency legislation.
Though the administration currency
bin easily passed the house, its path
way In the senate is admittedly fuli
of obstacles. At present the senate
banking committee has not yet De-
Gun consideration of the bill, intend
ing for at least ten days more TO hear
prominent bankers and finance ex-
merits. Predictions at the capitol are
general that for a month THEREAFTER
the senate committee will be at work
on the measure, considering numerous
amendments.
While there was unanimity of prln-
ciple on tariff revision, widely diVerg-
ent views are held by Democratic SEN
ators on banking reform. A strong de-
sire for a single bank with branches,
under government control, instead OF
a regional reserve system of banks
has made it's appearance in the lnior-
NAL discussion. Other changes OF a
far-reaching character are being sug-
gested and it is regarded generally as
doubtful if a bill satisfactory TO the
senate banking committee can reach
the floor of the senate before the
middle of November.
n At the white house there is con-
fdence that the bill will be passed TINS
session or be placed on the statute
books. at any rate, before the tlrst OF
the year. The president wants thor
ough consideration of the currency Dill
and any Improvement that the senate
can make upon the measure, as pass
ed by the house, will be welcomed.
His disposition, however, is to oppose
strongly any undue delay, for he be-
Iieves prompt revision of the banking
and currency system is necessary 10
meet the commercial expansion whlch
he expects will follow the operation
OF the new tariff.
The presidents view of the effect OF
the tariff is in~aceordance with express
sions from Representative Underwood
and other Democratic leaders that
while reductions in some cases VIII
be immediate, the general benefits will
mot be apparent at once. Even though
Fthe 1ariff laws might bring n1any I'M
ports into this country at low rates
or free of duty, the evils of price fix
ing. undersening and other discrimi'
nations in retraint of trade might, IN
the presidents opinion, defeat the
fruits of tariff reform.
