CUBAN BANK FIGHT MAY
GO BEFORE CONGRESS

ATLANTA, May 16.-If the fed
eraIs reserve board agrees, even on
a compromise basis to the proposal
of the Boston Reserve bank to es-
tablish a branch in Cuba it is GER
tain that Southern senators led by
Senators Harris and George of Geor-
gia, will carry the issue into the
next congress. Word comes from
Washington that a dozen or more
senators, challenging the right of
the Boston bank to invade Cuba will
Axe the matter to the floor Of
congress unless the reserve board
rejects the Boston plan. That these
senators viii be joined by others
from the East and West and repre-
senting other reserve banks is the
understanding in Washington, ac-
cording to reports received here by
John Il. Ottley, president of the
Fourth National Bank Of Atlanta and
a director of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, who recently head
ed the Southern delegation appear

The board is not expected to rem
der a decision for some time and

bers, James, of Tennessee, and Gun
ningham, Of Iowa, have taken their

HARDING QUITS SIDE
Of SENATE OPPONENTS.
PARTY BREAK GROWING
President Now Making New
Friends and Confidants Within
Ranks of Washington Groups
SENATORS ARE ALIENATED
Lasker, Fiuges, Hoover, Butler
Hudson and Root Among
Presidents Supporters

WASHINGTON, May 16. .Presi-
dent Hardings arrangement from
the irreconcilable senators with
whom he was on terms of intimacy
during the last term in the senate
and at the outse1 of his adminitsra-
tlon is a fact which is taken by po-
htlcal eXegetes to explain his change
OF outlook upon foreign affairs and
his advocacy Of American partner
ship in the International Court
President Harding's contact with the
senate is now intrequent, uncertain,
and without its former cordiality.
In quitting the company Of the
"irreconcilables" President Harding
has escaped their influence and at
the same time has put himself in
closer touch and apparently also in
sympathy with Republicans who ia
VOr giving the United States a larger
part in international cooperation.
Chairman Lesker of the Shipping
Board, Secretary Hughes, Secretary
Hoover, DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
Professor Manley 0. Hudson and Eli
hu Root are chief among President
Harding's new friends and confid-
ants. Former Senator New and for
mer Senator Frelinghuysen are still
among his intimates, but like HIM
self they have ceased to represent
the senate's viewpoint.
This absence of 'irreconcilables"
from the Presidents encourage was
observed during his stay in Florida.
1t was thought that after the adj
iournment Of congress many Repub-
lican senators would flock to Flor
ida to enjoy a holiday with the tit
ular leader of their party. There
was no such foregathering. On the
contrary, they were conspicuous only
by their failure to appear. Sena-
tor Watson visited Florida while the
president was there but he was not
received in audience. When the
president went to New York to de-
liver his address to the members Of
the Associated Press there was the
same absence of Republican senators
and the same prominence of Chair
man Lasker that were observable
during Mr.. Harding's sojourn in
Florida
The president, it is conceded, has
a perfect right to choose his friends
and there is no disposition to criti-
cize him for preserving a separation
Of the legislative and executive
branches even in his social rela-
tions if that is part of his plan of
avoiding the appearance Of being
swayed by the senate. The point
that observers are making is that
the presidents aloofness from his
former "irreconcilable" associates is
having a reflex in his foreign and
domestic policies.
Even in respect to the govern
ment of the Republican party Of
which the president is the head, he
finds himself alienated from the SEN
atorial leaders. The chairman of the
Republican senatorial campaign
committee is Senator George H.
Moses, of New Hampshire. The
whole world has been informed by
Senator Moses Of his relentless OPP
