Currency Bill Change Faces Senate Clash Over Patronage
The Senate banking committee struck a major patronage blow by removing the comptroller of the currency from the Federal Reserve Board under the new national banking law. The move heightens the race for the post between John Skelton Williams and George W Norris, with Williams backed by McAdoo and Norris supported by A Mitchell Palmer. The outcome now hinges on the full Senate action.

Less Keen Appetite for Comptroller Post in Washington
The currency committee becomes effective and the comptroller’s post remains vital though unchanged. It is unlikely Mr Williams will give up his current role to take it, and Mr Norris’ interest in a Federal appointment may be cooler than before. President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo have resisted candidates or endorsements for seven months. The post was expected to grow if the comptroller joined the Federal Reserve Board, but likely no appointment before the new currency law passes.

Seek Rebate Decision Trade Treaties At Stake
Treasury continues to collect full duties regardless of vessel nationality. Attorney General aims to push the issue into court, delaying a ruling on the 5 percent tariff discount for American vessels. House readiness to compel Treasury information signals potential court action. The AG reportedly argues the matter is judicial and may void the 6 percent treaty discount, while Treasury presses on with collections.
