WILSON CANNOT
HAVE own WAY
Having Trouble With His Cur
rency Bill, Which Does
Not Roll Along
Smoothly.
PUT IT UP TO PEOPLE
Suggested That He Make Speech in
Middle West and Explain Why
He Wants the
Bill.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Despite as
sertions of the presidents friends that
he could crack the party whip and
force passage of his own currency bill,
1t became evident today that he Is now
engaged in the first great fight of his
administration. 1t is not even certain
that the president can force caucus ac-
tion by his own party senators with
out making material concessions. The
senate banking and currency commit
tee is now admittedly controlled by a
combination of four republicans and
three democrats The latter trio, who
are opposing certain of the plans of
the administration are Reed of Mis-
souri,, Hitchcock of Nebraska and
O'Gorman of New York.
President Wilson today faced TIE
certainty that the bill to be reported
from the committee will bear little re-
semblance to the Glass-Owen measure
approved by the house, and marked
by him as a real democratic meas
ure."
Will lalo clIudtlCh SoALAOhSliiG AAAAA,
the president discussed currency with
his cabinet today. He also planned
conferences on the subject with Sena-
tor Kern, the majority leader; Sena
tor Lewis, his assistant; Senator Ow-
en-, chairman Of the senate commit
tee on banking and currency; Sena
tors Hoke, Smith Overman, James
hughes and possibly with the thres
recalcitrant members of the senate
committee.
The senate leaders have told the
president that In the upper house
there are nearly as many currency
plans as there are members. This is
especially SO on the majority side
Most of the minority members believe
the Aldrich plan, with certain modif1ca
tions is good enough for them.
What the president and his official
advisors had to decide today was
whether they can get action in the
caucus. The president believes he
can. He insists with all with whom he
talks that he believes members of his
party will eventually accept his views
If they will not, then he declares he
will put the entire matter up to the
people.
1t has been suggested to the presi
dent that he take the country into his
confidence on the subject. Some of his
advisors have told him that the best
uov to do this is to accent an invita-
tion to deliver an address in one OF
the middle western cities. Then he
can make a complete statement of why
he believes his plan the best and tell
of the influences which have been
working here against It's adoption.

No Panic in Sight.

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-"There Is
nothing like financial panic or crisis
in sight" said Jacob H Schiff today
in explaining his statement made be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday that unless currency reform
of some sort were enacted. soon the
country would face a serious situation.
Schiff was asked If he thought the
present financial situation was similar
to that before the panic Of 1907 when
he made statement similar to that
OF yesterday. Absolutely not re-
piled Schiff. There is nothing like
financial panic or crisis in sight.
Money is likely to work into a COM
Portable situation next year But If
currency reform is not enacted before
long we shall likely feel the disap-
pointment and Encouragement of this
in an extended period of depression
which may result politically and econ
omically in a very unsatisfactory
state Of affairs.
