the gentlemen who gave utteranc
to these lurid but pleasing fic-
tons did not believe them at the
time they uttered them. They
surely do not believe them
now. 1t is a significant thing
that wherever there was an OPP
%portunity to give expression, in
the elections Of last week, to the
public feeling concerning the
administration, the power of the
President and Of the leaders in
Congress over the minds and
hearts Of the American people
was clearly in evidence. This
was true in Maryland, true in
New Jersey, true in Massachu-
sets.
1t is interesting to remember in
this connection that the pol
icy Of President Wilson which

was in the crucible at the precise
moment when the elections took
place. We mean the Mexican
policy, of course. With the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The ad-

proposing a revision of the financial
system of the United States and the
creation of regional reserve banks to
act as strengthening elements in the
banking and financial world passed
the senate last night by vote of 54
to "a.
Forces that had fought together
for Improvement and amendment of
the measure to the last divided when
the final vote came. Senator Hitch
cock, who had led the opposition to
the bill, returned to the Democratic
ranks and Senator Weeks. one of the
leaders on the Republican side. with
five other Republicans and Senator
Poindexter, Progressive. voted for the
passage of the measure.
Wide differences exist between the
form of the legislation passed by the
passed the house several months ago.
Democratic leaders already have
partly adjusted these differences,
however, and 1t was predicted that
the bill would be completed by a
conference committee and sent to
President Wilson for his signature by
Monday night.
Among the chief points of differ
ence between house and senate are
the following:
The house provided for IL regional
banks; the senate for "from eight to
49," discretion being left to the fed.
eral reserve board.
The senate added a provision ere.
ating fund to guarantee the depos-
its OF failed banks that are members
Of the reserve association.
The house limited the rediscount OF
commercial paper at the regional
banks TO that maturing in 90 days:
the senate provided that 1S0-day agri-
cultural paper could be accepted un-
der certain limitations.
The gold reserve required Of the
regional reserve banks. against cir
culating notes was placed at 80 1-3
per cent by the house and at 80 per
cent by the senate.
Banks would be permitted to lend
on five-year farm mortgages by the
senate bill; one-year mortgages by
the house bill.
