COMING CAMPAIGN
Republicans to Wage Fight on
Plan to Unite Western Re-
pubIics In Offensive and
Defensive League.
ATTACK WILSON POLICIES
Past Republican Administra.
tions Also Will Be Con-
demned By Promoters
of New Scheme.

Washington. ID. c.. Dec. 80 That the
the future will be made an issue in the
coming presidential campaign is in
dicated here i'm plans being promul-
gated by q group of republican sena-
tors, some of whom are presidential
aspirtants. Chief of these plans is one
which would pave the way for cement
ing the. relations of the United States
with South Americap and central
American repuhlics1 Iii a league of
peace in order to Adequately back up
the Monroe doctrine and forever set
at rest the danger of outside interfer-
ence with the affairs of the western
hemisphere.
The originators of this movement in-
tend to do their ,ulmpst to induce the
republican national convention in 1916
toAembrace this doctrine and TO promise
the' American. people to carry out the
policy, If returned to power. They re-
gard the plan as Offering to the United
States as we'll as to the lesser republics
of the two Americas a tremendous
lessening OF the danger of foreign ay-
gression.
Start On New Lines.
These repuSk1Ans believe that tho
foreign nolicies not only of the Wilson
but of preceding republican admnistra
ttons have been unprogressive and un-
productive of real benefit to the true
world They believe that this is so be-
cause Fundamental principles have
beer ignored in the shaping of these
policies.
Since the beginning of the European
war: there has been considerable ex-
citellent aroused by the rep,lted pur-
pose oftGernlany TO seek a foothold i'm

ing it's rplace Ia. the sun" Some Ameri-
cans have seen visions of a clash be
tween AermanN.And the United States.
and some. notably John Hays IIam-
mond, have advocated an abandonment
of the Monroe doctrine. Even Theodore
Roosevelt has limited that South
American nations no longer stand in
great need of the protection of that In
stitution ~

The Republican senators who have
conceived this new policy contend that
the Monroe. doctrine should be
strengthened not ba II d oned

western hemisphere II such a united
front could be presented to tho other
half Of the wottl. they say, European
dream4 of conquest in South America

to the United States and lis neishbors
The proposals of the republican
leaders will be presented In the Senate
In connection with the discussion OF
conditions in Mexico and of the
Nicaraguan tEeatN, ths ratification Of

URGES LIMITATION

Washington Dee 30. comptrollc,
John SHELTON Williams OF the cur
rency hurean. submitted his annual re-
port to congress- today with recon-
mendations The most startling pro
posal of tn. comptroller is one TO limit
the deposits OF national banks tp 10
times their oonbif Ell capital and suI-
plus on tllis point he says.
-.Reports show that the total de-
posits of all national banks amount to
about four and SIX -tcni!is times their
total capital and surplus This means
that the average capital and surplus
OF these banks is equal To HpI,roxinate
" II per cent pf the total amount OF
their deposits There are, however
banks whose deposits amount to 10 or
more times THEN capital and surplus
and in these cases the margin of pro-
lection To depositois is only 10 per cent
or less % the sum total u. tn" deposits
