tenn probably will be determined today

tives Of clearing house associations In

believe the new system can be put into

convenience to banks or to business

expressed views at varians with this
and at the conference today, board
members hope to convince the bankers
that an early opening is to be desir-
ed.
The conference will take up also the
question of te foreign Indebtedness of
American merchants, hoping to find a
solution without payment to Europe Of
large amounts Of gold.
1t is probable the board will take
the bankers into it's confidence and
discuss proposed amendments to the
new banking act. Continuous dis
cussion by the board has narrowed the
field down. to less than a half dozen
amendments and these were ordered
favorably reported today by the SEN
