session that continued from o'clock
'his morning until late tonight. inter-
rupted only By two short intervals for
luncheon and dinner. the members OF
the currency commission of the Amer

with the weEhty problems contained
In the Administrations bill for cur
rency reform. and in the compilation
OF the set of answers framed for the
twent!-three questions submitted for
their consideration by the United
States Senate Finance Committee.
These answers were prepared before
the commission finally adjourned. but
the members decided that their position
as contained in tho answers. would not
be made public until Sunday. 1t Is
learned. however. that the leading

~ concerned over the reserve features
In the financial measure soon to be
taken up for consideration by Con-
gress. one of the bankers who is look
cd upon rs leader among financiers
declared. this is one of tho most

country has had to deal"
The faction in the commission of
which he Is the spokesman argues that
the smaller banks still will be COM
PEELED to keep large amounts in CEN
trail reserve banks for business rea-
sons, even after the new measures be-
comes effective. and that instead of af-
fording remedy for the present evils
will result In tieinE up funds. This
condition Will become more pronounced.
Because of the influence of this
banker and the faction he represents,
1t is reasonably certain that the COM
mission Will go on record either against
tho reserve feature in the administra-
tion bill. or Will ask that IL he moder-
atcd Whatever the opinion of the COM
mission may be OH this and other
questions which came up for consider
alton during to-day's session. it will
be unanimous. all differences of opinion
existing before to-day's session having
been buried into the compilation OF the

scnting the commissions attitude.
