 While promising no miraculous restoration of prosperity, business leaders are far more hopeful than they were year ago.

VETO Is FACING
BILL TO EXPAND
U. S. CURRENCY
House May Drop Provision
From Measure Before
Hoover Gets 1t.
By UHitfd Press

BIZ Hitfd Press
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The
senate project authorizing an ex-
pansion of nearly 100000, 900 in
the nations currency appeared Ger
tain today to be rejected by Presi-
dent Hoover, if not by the house.
The currency provision was
adopted by the senate, SO to 18, as
an amendment to the home loan
bank bill, on which final action was
expected before night.
Mr. Hoover's close advisers said
he surely would veto the home loan
measure if the currency expansion
plan were retained. Many believe
the house would eliminate it be-
fore the bill goes to the President.
The currency amendment would
permit national banks to issue an
additional 1895 100000 of circulat-
ing notes if they desired. The notes
would be secured by government
bonds which the banks would place
with the treasury.
Backers of the plan contended an
increase in the amount of money in
circulation would tend to increase
commodity prices, particularly the
prices which farmers receive for
their crops. Democrats and progress
sive Republicans voted for it almost
solidly.
Treasury officials, however, de
clared the measure unSound and
said more bank credit, rather than
more currency, is what is needed
now. They pointed out that there
is now in circulation about $1,000
100000 more money than during the
boom days Of 1928, although business
has decreased so per cent.
The original home loan bill
sponsored by Mr. Hoover has been
changed greatly Mr.. Hoover
wanted to set up a system of banks
to aid those whose homes are mort
gagged or who desire to build new
homes and can not obtain funds
through usual banking channels. He
proposed that the government pro-
vide $125, 100000 of capital for the
banks.
The senate by a vote of "a to 81
has substituted for this a plan Of
Senator James Couzens rep.

finance corporation to use $4OOO00,-

exports Of liquor from the Domin-
ion.
The governments efforts to cope
with the traffic changed, too.
General Andrews, plain-spoken
and industrious, was the first to
present really comprehensive en-
forcement program-in 1926; and al
though congress failed to give him
the legislative changes he had
asked for, it did, in that year, vote
to put prohibition agents under
civil service, to separate the prohi-
bition bureau from the internal rev.
enue department, to increase the
prohibition bureaus appropriations
and to build new boats for the coast
guard.
