to the engineer crops to exercise more restraint and
gdity in the future approval of projects and the senate
commerce committee to keep much more closely within
the limits of their approvas, and of the house bill.

it. There is only way to get along with banker,
and that is to let him have his way. Mr. McAdoo is
fast learning this fact.
