IS CERTAIN TO PASS.
President Wilson Is Optimistic Re-
garding the Currency Bill.

| Washington, Oct. 20.-President
Wilson wrote Representative Cnoel-
wood, the majority leader OF the
house. today expressing the opinion
that the currency bill would be re-
ported to the senate not later than the
first week in November, and passed
after two or three weeks debate
Il have had conferences with mem
bers of the senate committee on bank
ing and currency, both Democrats
and Republicans" wrote the president
LAS result of these conferences, l
feel confident that a report on the Dill
may be expected not later than the
first week in November. Most of the
members of the committee with whom
have conferred have shown them
selves keenly aware of the disadvan-
tage to the country of an unnecessary
delay. 1 believe that the action of the
senate upon the bill will follow with
in two, or at the most three weeks af-
ter the report is made. L don't believe
there will be any attempt to delay its
passage by dilatory tactics.
Senators on both sides realize that
the business of the country awaits this
legislation impatient of being kept in
suspense, and display a most public
spirited desire to dispose of it prompt
ly. The passage of the bill is assured.
I'm these circumstances 1 should
like to confer with you as you so
kindly suggested, as to the action the
house should take while awaiting the
result
The president does not believe an
adjournment is possible but thinks
some agreement might be reached
with the minority in the house for a
brief recess. The president is fully
confident of considerable non-partisan
support for the bill and told callers
tuday he did not expect any change
by congress of any fundamental part
of the bill, but rather had found an
unexpected agreement on the funda-
mentals. The presidents letter was
freely circulated in congress and re-
newed active discussion of recess
probability. Senator Weeks, Republic
can, of the banking committee, OBJ
served that the letter disclosed more
optimism than the facts warranted
Senators Bristow and Hitchcock were
not optimistic for passage at the pres
ent session. One development that
lent encoura cement to those who hope
for speedy action came when the pres
ident let it be known that he was not
finally committed to any particular
number of reserve banks so long as
there were enough to meet business
requirements, and that the federal re-
serve board did not necessarily have to
include the secretary of agriculture
and the comptroller of the currency
so long as it was government con-
trolled. Active opposition has been di-
