Washington, Dec. 22.--The president

The president did not specify what

though in informal discussions with
callers he spoke OF having some in

and desire TO comply with the spirit
Of the law
Wilson made it clear 10 callers that
Il will be the policy Of the admins
tration to cooperate i'm every way II
legitimately could to bring about a
satisfactory understanding of the law
by business men, ana that the execu-
tive departments did not want to
raise barriers against those who want
ed to obey the law. The president
pointed out that the attorney general
viii cooperate ana heartily welcomed
the Impulse ON part Of business to
take the initiative.
The president indicated by his man
ucr in discussion that he hoped the
government had shown by it's exam
pie In the American Telephone & Tel
egraph settlement what might be ex-
peCted as TO the future course of the
administration.

PRESIDENT SOON TO SIGN IT
Measure Provides for Not Less
Than 8 Nor More Than II
Regional Banks
DISPUTED POINTS CLEARED UP

Washington, Dec. 22,-The admins
tration currency bill, in its final form,
was reported today to both houses 20
bc written into law.
The conference committee labUred
until dawn this morning, and present
ed the perfected measure, which fol.
lowed closely the lines of the prcsi-
cents demands for currency reform
The conference agreed TO leave
Alaska out Of the new system
The general desire of the Legislators
TO get away from Washington for the
Christmas holidays resulted in Il pro
gram calculated by the Democratic
leaders TO place the bill before the
president for signature tonight and
clear tie way for an immediate re-
cess.
Underwood planned to attempt to
get the conference report through to-
day. but other leaders are doubtful of
their ability to obtain action i'm both
the House and Senate before tomor-
row
The confcrcos agreed to practically
all the fundamentals of the measure
as il passed the Senate including the
provision that not less than eight, nor
more than twelve regional banks ne
created.
Disputed Points Cleared Up.
The last struggle of the conference
resulted from the determination that
the comptroller of the currency should
bc given place on the federal reserve
board which will control the new sys
tenn. The Senate confrrccs were even
~ divided ON this proposition, three
senators Joining with the House mcm-
hcrs OF the committee in supporting
the administrations contention. 1t was
nearly daylight when Senator Pome-
rene shifted his vote and brought the
conference to a close.
The conference accepted the Senatr
amendment increasing thc gold re-
servo behind new notes to he issued to-
81 l-3 Ter cent. It is understood the
president and Secretary McAdoo l",
the conference know they favored tho
increase.
\ compromise plan for retiring two
per cent bonds, on which the pres.
ent currency is based, was written into
the bill by the conference. Under the
plan thirty-siX million dollars WORTH
If these bonds will be- purchased each
year. beginning two wears after tn"
system is placed in operation by the
now regional banks from the present
national banks
ON one half OF its holdings each re-
eioual bank MAJ issu" currency. The
remainder will lee refunded in three
per cent thirty-year bonds, or three
per cent year treasury notes,
which the banks must agree to renew
each year for thirty wears.
The conference crushed out the SEN
ate amendment proposing to guarantee
bank deposits.
For Guarantee of Deposits.
Senator owen, chairman of the Sem
ate banking committee, expects to
Introduce next month bill to estab-
ish the federal guarantee of bank de-
posits. This proposal was "Enin-
ated from the new currency bill
More applications from national
banks for membership in the new fed
eral reserve system piled into the
treasury today. So far no state banks
or trust companies have siSnified in
tcntions of asking for membership.

THE BALKAN ATROCITIES

1t is becoming evident that reports of atroci-
ties i'm the Balkan wars were not Overdrawn. In
fact, recent statements from authoritative
sources make it probable that they have been I'M
derdrawn, for the simple reason that some OF the
cruelties practiced have been of such revolving
nature that they could not be particnlarlzed IN
print The Outlook, referring to the official IN
yestigation, says
"Prof. Samuel Train Dutton of the Teachers
College, New York city, has been the American
representative of the international commission
to investigate the atrocities Of the second Balkan
war; Professor button has now returned to this
country, and though the report of the interna-
tional commission is not ready, he has author
lied certain statements. These were first re
ported in the New York Times, and have since
been confirmed and strengthened by their author
in personal statement to the Outlook.
Contrary to the rumors of failure of the COM
mission investigation in certain Balkan states,
Professor button said that not only had the
work there been carried out successfully, but
that the commissioners had been received most
courteously everywhere, even by those nations
which might have been thought to be specially
opposed to the inquisitorial investigation
planned by the commission. Seryia and Greece,
indeed refused to give official recognition to the
commission, butsaccording to Professor Duttoa,
the commissioners we're able to accomplish as
much there as, il not more than, if they had been
under the guidance of government official
I'VE we're allowed to go everywhere and to ques-
ton those we saw fit We got dispositions and
statements from all sorts and conditions OF
men.

PUuTICS and PEARL HlRBOR

Will Honolulu have to make fight for the
Pearl HarbOr drydock? (
As mentioned by the Star-Buletin some
time ago, San Francisco has begun de
termined fight to secure transfer of the choice
of sites from Pearl Harbor to the Coast port
Evidences of this are found almost daily in the
stories published.in San Francisco papers to the
general effect that the Pearl HarbOr structure
has proved a fiaseo and that Secretary Daniels
has decided to shift responsibility for the dry.
dock to Congress. There is not the slightest
doubt that if this is done, California congress
men will jump into a resolute campaign to win
the big naval plant for San Francisco.
The reports are becoming disquieting. Ha-
waii has no official representative now "at the
'front.' to keep the territory informed on possible
legislation against the Pearl Harbor plan All
the information to date--except that given in
the Coast press--is that Secretary Daniels be-
1ieyes in the Pearl Harb6r site and will take up
the question with Congress only in case further
appropriations are necessary to carry out the
drydock plans Yet it must be realized now that
the future Of Pearl Harbor is likely to be made
a matter Of politics. and the citizens and com
mercial bodies of Honolulu will do well to be
ready fer fight $50.
