nose Of permitting the bankers 10 pre-

takes the view that the bankers have
submitted their claims and that any
thing additional would he merely repe-

that the situation would become further
complicated.
II Is known that the bankers, since the
meeting in Chicago, when resolutions
were adopted. have been endeavoring 10
get another audience with the President
and the Secretary Of the Treasury, but
President Wilson has made II clear That
he has no purpose TO swerve from the
position he frankly outlined several weeks
