When President Returns He
Will Find McReynolds

TO MENTION MORGAN DEAL
1t Is Pointed Out That Action

Wilson Ideas

Washington, Jan. 7.-When the
president returns next week he will
find Attorney General McReynolds pre-
pared to take up in detail all the pro-
posed trust legislation which has
appeared in the form Of bills in con-
gress during the last nine months A
comprehensive summary of these bills,
comprising some portions of every
measure that appeared on the con-
gressional horizon in that time, has
been prepared by the department of
justice and is now in the hands of G.
c.; Todd, the department trust bust
er" ,ar. r..a.-. 49,.
When Todd has gone thoroughly
into the subject, a digest of the bills
will 1be turned over to the attorney
general. BY the time Wilson arrives
McReynolds will be ready to give his
personal opinions.
That the presidents special message
on the trust question will be deliver
ed very soon after congress convenes
next week Is the general belief in Of
fetal circles. Some of the best in
formed expect the president to take
notice Of the recent action of j. P.

Washington, Jan. THE resigna-
ton of five important members of
the firm of J. P Morgan & Co. from
the directorates Of many large COR
porations in which they have held
dominant power for years, was looked
on in Washington as nothing less
than the, direct consequence Of the
money trust investigation last year
by the house banking and currency
committee.
That committee found, after many
months of investigation, that the
members Of Morgan & Co. were on the
boards of the largest corporations,
and dubbed this system 'fnterlocking
directorates." Herein was found the
money trust. The close association Of
these men with officials Of the First
National bank, the National City
bank, the Bankers Trust Co., the
Guaranty Trust Co., and the Chase
National gave them knowledge Of the
inside workings of all the large cor
porations and also, it was charged, of
all large credits in the banks.
Many Of the democrats in the house
gave the credit for this action of the
Morgan firm (soon to be followed, it
is understood, by similar action by

CHAMBERLAIN
WILL RETIRE

,' Birmingham, Jan. 7.-Joseph Cham
berlain, the venerable British states
man. announced before his departure
for southern France that he had de-
cided to retire from parliament at the
next general election. He has served
continuously as member of the house
of commons since 1876. all the time
representing West Birmingham.
In letter to the president of the
Unionist association, Chamberlain
said in part: 81 have not come to this
decision to retire without many re-
grets at the severance of a connection
which has already lasted over thirty
seven years and has been marked on
the part Of my constituents by ever
growing confidence and support
"But I cannot hope again to do my
work in parliament and feel that our
city, the constituency of, West Bir-
mingham, needs the services of a
younger man who will take an active
part in the parliamentary struggle
and help you to maintain the suprem-
acy of the unionist cause in Birming-
ham,
There has been no change for the
worse in Chamberlain's health re-
Gently 1t is, however, nearly eight
years since he spoke in the house of
commons and nearly three years since
he appeared there and then only for a
few minutes of the opening session
when he was assisted into the house
to take the oath.

board?"
THAT depends upon the action of
the co-ordinated board" Mr.. Morgan
replied. He said that If the board
could show that the system was CO.
ordinated, foreign bankers would feel
that they were doing business with
one comprehensive bank.
The real idea," he said, 'is to get
the most convenient arrangement to
serve the whole reserve association"
Secretary McAdoo handed to Mr..
Morgan a large white sheet of paper
on which was an outline map of the
country, and asked him to indicate
on it, at later time the points at
which he thought regional banks
should be placed, and the district they
could cover. Mr.. Morgan looked
doubtfully at the secretary and said
he feared he would not have the time
to go into the matter eXhaustively.
He nevertheless folded up the map
and walked off with it, promising to
do his best.
In the opinion Of Henry H. Bizal-
lion, president Of the Gotham Nation
al bank. the matter of capital of the
New York National banks was not OF
primary Importance. The national
system of regional banks. operating
under the federal board, and having a
combined capital Of over $780, 900.
would be looked upon, he thought, as
one great banking entity which stood
back Of each regional bank.

How is the movement controlled

Mostly, we lock the stable after the

the gold has moved out of the country
the money rates go up to make them
higher than in Europe where the
gold is flowing" He said in his
opinion the new banking system
would prove effective in controlling
the gold movement. NJ. G. Elliott,
secretary of the committee left to-
night for Boston to arrange for the
hearings of the committee in that city

J. P. Morgan aligned himself yes
terday with the advocates OF a region
al bank Of commanding size in the
district which is to include New York
Most Of the other witnesses who ap-
peared at today's hearing Of the
federal reserve organization commit
tee, shared Mr.. Morgan's views. argu-
ing for the establishment Of a regional
bank in this territory which would
represent 40 per cent or more Of the
capital, Of the entire national system
Secretary McAdoo Of the treasury de-
partment and Secretary Houston OF
the department Of agriculture, who
compose the committee, intimated
they did not share this view, although
both said they had reached no deci-
sion. Many Of their questions bore
upon the feasibility of making the
regional districts more nearly equal
with perhaps three banks in the north
east. instead Of one.
Mr.. Morgan's appearance before the
committee was a surprise to those
who were attending the hearing, and
the banker indicated the invitation to
give his views was something Of d
surprise to MIN, as he had not been
requested to appear until shortly le-
fore the hour specified. There was a
stir in the committee room when the
heavy-set figure of the banker ap-
peared amid the little group of men
who had assembled for the afternoon
session.
Explaining that he had not con-
sidered carefully the division of the
country into regional districts, Mr..
Morgan said he would not attempt TO
outline any detailed plan,
I'm trying to see how the whole
United States is to be handled" he ex-
planned. That's all I'm any good for"
Mr.. Morgan surprised his hearers
by saying he did not consider it i'm
portant whether a regional bank were
located in New York. It might as well
be in Boston. he believed. The i'm
portant thing, he said, was to have the
bank which served the New York dis
trict of sufficient size to command the
respect of the business men and bank
ers OF all countries. AS to the amount
of capital in this bank, which many
witnesses had said should be larger
than that of any member bank, Mr..
Morgan attached comparatively little
Importance to that phase Of the mat
ter.
1T is not so much the capital" he
said, "as the assets the bank repre-
sents.''
DO You think" asked Secretary
McAdoo, "that foreign banks would
