Washington, D. C The president
tranamitted to congress a letter from
the secrets ry af state inclosing the re
port ofthe international American bank
scheme- In the letter the president
says it is not proposed to involve the
United States in any financial responsi
bility, bat only to give the proposed

mote public confidence by requiring that
its condition snd transactions be sub
mitted to a scrutiny similar to that ex
ercised over our domestic banking sys
tem. 11) e subject is submitted for the

Europe ta their financial transactions
with their American neighbors as they
sre upoo Uie ahip owners of Greet Brit
sin for transportation facilities, and will
continue to labor under those embar
rasuents until direct banking systems
sre established. The report of the com
mittee (Pan-American conference) pre
sents a simple and easy method of re
lief and the enactment of the measure
recommended will, in the judgement of
the cenference result iu the establish
ment of proper facilities for an inter
American banking."
A bill has been prepared at the state
department to carry into effect the rec
ommendations of the committee. The
bill designates the United States dele-
gstes to the Pan-American conference

may be designated to the secretary of
the treasury as a depository for public
money and may be employed as a finan
cial agent of the government The'prin
cipal offices shall be in Washington snd
New York with power to open offices in
lbs United States, Mexico, South and
Central America. The capital stock is
fixed at $10,000,000 in 1100 shares, which
may be increased by a two-thirds vote
to not exceed 9250,000,000. Business
may be begun aa soon aa 25 per cent of
