SENATE BATTLE
FACED NEXT ON
COLD REPEAL
Reed and Glass Allied to Lead
"Sound Money" Forces in
Futile Struggle

The Administration gold
standard repeal bill, passed over
whelmingly by the House last
night, was sent today to the
Senate, where it faces a fight by
Sound money" forces.
Despite charges of opponents
that repeal Of the gold clauses in
past and future public and pri-
vate securities issues is outright
reputation, the House approved
the bill by a vote of 283 to ST.
Senate approval was likewise
forecast, since in the passage OF
the currency initiation measure
the Senate in effect voiced its ap-
proval of a managed currency"
for this country.
Reed, Glass Allied
Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
Democratic leader, announced the
measure will be called up for
action this week, probably Thurs
day. Speed is necessary, he said,
so the Government can omit the
gold clause for in the bond issues
soon to be announced.
The Senate fight was to be led
by Senators Reed (R0 of Pennsyl-
vania and Glass CD. of Virginia,
both of whom have declared the
measure means the nation has
broken faith with the holders of
gold clause bonds, including Lib
erty bonds sold under the war
time pressure.
The direct charge was made by
Representative McFadden (RD
of Pennsylvania that the bill
means cancellation or reduction
of the $11, 100000 foreign debts
owned the United States.
Pointing out that the bill defin-
ing obligations" would permit
foreign nations to pay their debts
in deprecated currency. he unsuc-
ceSsfully sought to strike the Sec
ton from the bill.
The militant Pennsylvania also
charged that the Treasury plans to
establish a free gold market" at
New York, which will permit the
shipment of gold to foreign ma
tions while the Government is
threatening American gold hoard
erS with imprisonment.
G. 0. p. Leaders Hit
The attempt of Republicans to
create issue brought from Repre-
sentative McGugin (RD of Kan
Sas. supporting the bill, the dec.
laration that the Republican party
will never return to power as long
as it is controlled by such men as
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania,
Walcott of Connecticut, Repre-
sentatives Smell of New York, Luce
of Massachusetts, and former Sec
retary of the Treasury Ogden
Mills.
McGugin declared passage of the
legislation was made necessary be-
cause Congress failed to adopt
the sales tax to right its own fl
nances and because it passed the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton act to take money from some
people in order to give it to
Others"

MORGAN FIGHTS
SEAWAY, SAYS
.LAFOLLETTE
His Company Subsidized State
Chamber of Commerce
Drive, Is Charge

Charges that ]. P. Morgan
and Company Subsidized" the
New York state Chamber Of
Commerce to the tune Of more
than $5,O00,000 and then used it
as a spearhead to fight ratifica-
tion of the st. Lawrence water
way treaty today held the
Senate's attention.
Senator Long CD of Louisiana,
arch-foe of "Wall Street" and a
foe of the treaty, belittled these
charges.
S5,13O,76O In GratuitieS
Replying to Senator La Toilette
(R0 of Wisconsin, who showed
how the huge international bank
ing house distributed $5,130,760
in "gratuities" to At members of
the chamber through cut-rate
stock offerings, Long declared:
"This is not a Morgan prOpO-
Sition."
He added:
you'll find power company
contributors to chambers Of
commerce in North and South
Dakota that are indOrSing this
treaty."
Long described the st. Law
renee project as "a Canadian
public works program carried on
with American money"
La Follette'S detailed compila-
ton of cut-rate Morgan stock dis
tributions to members of the State
chamber created intense interest
on Capitol Hill. The Senator as
serted:
"The development Of this Sec
tiOn of the river is opposed by
Morgan and allied interests for
two reaSOnS-it will break the
transportation monopoly of the
Morgan trunk lines running
from Chicago to the seabOard
and it will produce 100000
horsepower of energy to be de-
velOped by a public agency fur
nishing electricity at low rates,
in competition to the Morgan
controlled power companies"

be prepared to make must be
based on mutual benefits with no
strings attached.
With this view in mind, the
American delegation will insist
upon substantial reduction in
tariff barriers and other trade
distractions as the price for Amer
lean adherance to any agreement
for the permanent stabilization of
world currencies.
Aims At Trade Bars
Although prepared to agree to
temporary stabilization of cur
rencies at the beginning of the
conference, the American dele
gates will insist that permanent
Stabilization must be followed by
removal of trade distractions gen.
orally. Secretary of State Hull
admitted this in his final press
conference.
The Secretary said that if the
nations undertook to stabilize the
existing diseased and disordered
currencies and exchanges and left
the other distractions to inter
national commerce intact, the
currency situation would snap
back within 80 days to its present
disjointed and dislocated situa.
ton. Therefore, he added, sta
bilization without removal of
other trade distractions would
not be enough.
The American delegates also
have been instructed to make it
clear that while the United States
is willing to go far in cooperating
with the rest of the world for in
ternational economic reconStruc-
tion, it also is prepared to embark
on policy of intense nationalism
if all its efforts at trade peace are
Spurned.
Roosevelt Maps Program
A final draft of the American
program was being drawn up by
the President today and will be
handed to Secretary Hull before
he leaves tomorrow morning for
New York to board the United
States liner President Roosevelt

floating their own issues of stocks
and bonds. In the same period,
they scored a profit of $2,877, ,O43
in helping other security houses
to float new issues,
Among the securities directly
floated by J. P. Morgan & Co.,
one Of the most profitable,
was the issue of German So
per cent bonds in 1890. It was
floated in June, 1880, and the
Morgan firm made a gross profit
OF $636,695. The net profit was
reported at $116,825.
Another important issue was
American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company S per cent de-
bentures in January, 1880. The
MorganS made a gross profit of
$618,546 by handling the issue,
The net profit was $194,796.
Handled Japanese Issue
A japanese 5h per cent is
sue in May. 1890, gave the firm
a gross profit of $468,978, but a
net profit of only $30,612.
The Morgans crossed $84O,91
in May, 1880, in floating new
stock issue for General Motors
Corporation. This was a SIS pre-
ferred stock. In August, 1881,
the firm netted $578,379 by di-
recting the flotation of $780,

the restoration of world price
levels, revaluation of silver, reduc-
ton of tariff barriers, and an in
ternationally coordinated public
works program to restore the pur-
chasing power of the masses Is
included in the program.
The plan for restoration OF
world commodity prices is based
on the following three points:
IA concurrent and coordl-
mated public works construction
program in all nations.
2-Action by, the central banks
to reduce discount rates, thus
making money easier.
Coordinated international
action to liquidate domestic sur
pluses, and provide for their dis
position.
Silver Sterilization
The silver plan calls for stabi-
lization of that metal around 40
or so cents an ounce, restoration
of the fineness of silver in interna-
tional coinage, prevention of fur
ther debasement of silver curren-
cies, and use by the central banks
of silver with gold as the reserve
coverage for currency.
The American experts accom-
panying the delegation are not
over-optimistic as to the outlook.
They do not believe anything
tangible will be accomplished dur
ing the first month and are doubt
full whether the European nations
will be willing to agree to more
than currency sterilization.

HEALTH OFFICERS
MEET TOMORROW
Authorities of U. S. and Can.
ada Will Hold 2 Sepa-
rate ParIeys.

The annual conference of the State
and provincial health authorities of
the United States and Canada will be
held tomorrow and Tuesday in the
auditorium of the new Public Health
Service Building. This will be followed
Wednesday and Thursday, with the an
nual meeting OF State and Terrific 1al
health officers.
The personnel of the two confer
ences Is the same, but they function
as separate organizations. Many dis
tinguished visitors will be present, in
cluding the directing heads of all the
provincial health departments of Can
ada.
1t Is planned to devote much discus
! sion to the general health situation
arising out of disturbed economic con-
ditions, especially local facilities for
rural health protection. Special en-
phasis will be placed on measures to
protect the health of children, the most
serious sufferers from the depression.
DR.. Osborn to Preside.
The president of the conference is
DR.. Stanley M. Osborn, Commission of
Health of Connecticut. The delegates
will represent a public health move
ment which has expanded rapidly dur
ing the present century and without
which, according to statement of Sur
geon General Hugh S. Cumming. "our
large centers of population soon would
become centers Of pestilence and death
more terrible than anything hitherto
known"
During the time this health work
has been in progress, it Is pointed out,
| the general death rate has been re-
duced from IT to II per thousand and
the span of life expectancy greatly in
creased. At the beginning of the nine
teenth century the life expectancy
was estimated at between 26 and 38
years. It is now slightly more than
| go years, with women having somewhat
better chances than men.
Death Rate Increases.
In spite of the improvement, 1t Is
pointed out, the death rate from sui
eide, homicide, automobile accidents,
cancer. diabetes and heart disease has
gone up and seems to be on the in
| crease still. The great improvement
has been in the epidmic diseases and
in the ailments of childhood.
The homicide rate alone, it is ex-
planned, has increased since 1900 from
ID to approximately 9.3 per 100000
The suicide rate had advanced from
102 per 100000 in 1900 to 1873 in 1881.
| Cancer has advanced from "a to 119
| deaths and diabetes from II to 25 per
10000 during the same period. The
greatest increase has been in heart
disease deaths-a jump from 1877 in
1900 to 259 per 100000 in 1880.
