STRONGEST TEST OF
WILSON'S CONTROL
is ABOUT TO OCCUR
fContinncd from Pare Onc)


the test of strength in which Senate
leaders expect President Wilson'S influ-
enee will be brought into the situation.
A striking feature of the situation in
the Senate is that the vote of one DEM
ocratie member of the banking and cur
rency committee would be sufficient to
prevent the committee from favorablv
reporting the currency bill. There are
seven democrats and five republicans on
with one exception have expressed the
belief that a thorough study OF currency
reform is needed and the careful prera-
ration of bill to enact new system
would require more time than the COM
mittee could give ii during the present
extra session.
Chairman Owen and one or Two other
democrats ON the committee nave in the
last few days declared they believed
senators who have been studying the
question have at hand all the informa-
tion necessary for immediate cunsidera-
tion OF currency bill, and that no good
could be accomplished through further
delay. This position, 1t is understood re-
fleets the administration view, and will
be backed up by the argument that the
currency bill will be subject to free and
unlimited debate when it reaches the
Senate.
The Presidents friends in Confess in.
sst that there will be no more serious
hitch in the currency Programme, and
that legislation y1fI be enacted at least
by the latter part of November.
In the meantime both Houses Of Con
gress will ENJOY what vacation they car
get through three day reeesses. whiit
the Senate committee members work OF
the currency problem.
The House and Senate conferees al
work adjusting differences in the tariff
bin will resume work tomorrow in the
hope that the completed conference re-
port can be brought back to both Houses
by Thursday or Friday. Some of the mor=
important controversies over the tariff
rates have not been settled, and the CON
ferees still have before them practically
all the amendments to the income tax
section; the Clarke cotton futures tas
amendment. and the amendment to adj
ministrative sections of the bill.
| Mutual CONCESSIONS by both Houses on 8
| few of the moref important items. how.
ever, would carry with them the settle
/ ment of many of the lesser problems
and members of the committee are con
f'dent of completing work by Thursday
Republican confetees who thus far havi
/ been barred FROM the conference ther
will be invited to lconsider the completed
+ bill. and reportt will be made to each
House.
1t is anticipated that a fight will bt
made in each branch of Congress over thu
accordance of the report, but little delay
is expected
1t is believed the tariff bill will be COM
! pleted and piaced before President WI
son for signature by the end of this
week

FEAR INVASION OF
AMERICAN BANKS

London. September 2l.-Discussins the
American currency bill In its financial
columns this morning the Daily Tele-
graph forecasts a possible invasion Of
the banking field here by American banks
as a result of the clause in the bill pro-
viding for the establishment of branches
in foreign countries.
This clause says the Telegraph,
"opens up very large question and one
which may become somewhat embarra ss-
ing for London banks now holding very
profitable agencies for New York, Chi
eago and other American banks. Any ad-
dition to the keen rivalry existing would,
of course, be unpopular in Lombard
street but the invasion now threatened
would be particularly unwelcome, mas
much as ii might be very dislocating and
injurious to existing arrangements.
The article declares that London banks
are already accepting bills up to the mar
gin of safety and that American branches
in accepting blindly, through inexperience
both for themselves and each other,
would create a condition like the turning
on of another outside supply of artificial
credit
Banking authorities here are said to be
studying the question both as to how
the newcomers should be treated and
whether retaliation on the other side
should be attempted.
