WILLIS SCORES
BANK BILL

j., NEW YORK, April 12.-Dr. H.
Parker Willis and Representative
r. Alan Goldsborough Of Mary
land, member of the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee,
clashed in verbal battle last night
over the proposed banking act.
DR.. Willis, professor OF banking
at Columbia University, de-
nounced the proposed act, but
Godlsborough defended the meas
ure before a group which for the
most part was hostile to the
measure.
DR.. Willis in opening his re.
marks on the bill which would
substantially alter the present
Federal Reserve system said:
GLOW far is it desirable to
have our banking system Oper'
ated by politicians"
81 speak as the result Of MAJ
ture deIiberation, when l say
that I believe that this is the
most disastrous, the most self
assured, the most insincere,
banking proposal in American
history. 1 do not know where
one would find a measure quite
like it in the entire financial
) history of the world"
d. DR.. Willis recommended ap-
pointment Of a commission to
study the banking system and
within six months submit report
on current troubles and Sugges-
lions for immediate enactment OF
laws which would rectify the
troubles.
. Goldsborough called the bank
ing bill IAN advance in monetary
thinking and said it was "a
distinct. advance in the concept Of
control of our medium of ex-
change"
At the conclusion of one
answer the Representative asked,
'Does that answer the ques-
tion?"
"NO," shouted the bankers and
business men.
"Wel," said the Representa-
tive, "that's still the answer"

Weekend liquidation and sales bas-

depressed the cotton market in the
final minutes Of trading Saturday
and futures closed III to Is points
lower.
Offerings were light. but traders
showed little disposition to absorb
the contracts, and as a result prices
lost from so TO SIS cents a bale.
For most Of the dealings the mar
ket lowered around the previous
close, with little activity on either
side.
The government consumption re-
port for the month Of June attract
ed little attention. The census bu-
reau's figures showed that 3S5 .946
bales Of cotton were consumed In
June. compared with 469 $50 bales
in May and 1853 ,262 bales In June
1884.
Final prices were also the lows FOR
the day in most cases. July drop

Dec. az l1.56 and Jan. at 11.55 show

Cotton Is beginning 10 move in the

ideal for the growing plants.
Confronted on one side with the
possibility OF a bumper crop with
its natural reflection on prices and
on the other side by uncertainty
over what the government will loan
