URGE CONGRESS BE CALLED. ' Cfonservativo Financiors Beliovo that } Need is Prossing for Congressional Action on the Money i Question. f i Washington, November 2.?It wni < lcufrned here today from undoubted I Sources that President Roosevelt is < now being urged to call an extra session of congress to dial with the fin- j ancial situation. The r?'(|uest comes from and represents the judgment of the conservative leaders in the financial world, who have represented the ; present situation as one compelling action of a character which will affirmatively eradicate all ground for sus. ]>icion of American industrial mot lift ods. The president has been assured from most reliable sources that there will ho no opposition on the part ot' the great industries of the country to the enactment of the necessary laws to carry out his ideas of Federal con- ) trol to the extent to which he has ox pounded them in his recent public utterances. These assurances are made i at t'his time to avert what has been represented as the most dangerous situation which has confronted the country during an extended historic period?that is, the seemingly growing lack of confidence based on known irregularities in business methods in some quarters, a.id no sure and speedy i means of separating the good from V the unsound. To this end it is suggested that the president set congress to the first task of making such amendments to the financial laws as will result in the maximum of flexibility with the minimum of basic change in our system. Next, and perhaps most in importance, is that the president embody his ? suggestions on corporation control into succinct recommendations for enacting into law. In this connection the president's attention has been diV rected to what he said at Princeton, >' Masyj., August 20 last; "I believe in a national incorporation law for corporations engaged in Interstate 'business, 1 believe, furthermore, that the need lor action is most pre.s>ing as regards those corporations which, because they are common carriers, exercise a quasi public function; and which can be completely controlled, in all respects by the Federal Government, by the exercise of the power conferred during v the Inter-iStale commerce clause, and ' if necessary under the post road clause of the constitution. "The National Government should exercise over them a similar supervision and control to that which i.t exercises over national banks. We can do this only by proceeding farther along the lines marked out by the recent national legislation. "Almost every big business concern ' is engaged in Inter-State commerce. V aixl such a concern must not be alf lowed by a dexterous shifting of position, as. has been too often the case I.. in the past, to escape thereby all roll sponsibility either to state or to nation. '' To meet his views I lie president then suggested amendments to the Shormhn anti-trust law, and the addition of a criminal clause to that end i to the Inter-State commerce regula-! tions. The benefit of having Federal legal machinery to detect and eradicate unwholesome business methods at this time was said to be the desirable end to be accomplished. This x would mean, it is pointed out, a pracy/ tieal wiping off of the slate and a ff starting afresh under business conditions which would have and which could bear the closest public scrutiny. That the President has given the request for an extra session careful consideration is indicated by those who have been asked to lend their a-lvice iu the matter. That the information !\ as |o exi ting conditions is not alarm-i itig has been the continuing assurance A which has conic from the Governj men I's careful observations. With V this in view the President lias been told that the call for an extra session of congress might have the reverse effect from that desired by those who are urging such action; thai it would tend to emphasize in the public mind an apprehension of unfavorable conditions which do not exist. Fa'!i::g in obtaining an extra session those who have made the appeal for it have presented an alternative, or an additional request that the presVj idenl make a public statement of the V\ assurance he feels in the sound eondi'.M lien public credit. This, too, has met with a measure of opposition from the Administration's advisers. Both suggestions are still matters of consideration, although no information whatever is obtainable regarding either directly from the White House. Just His Size. John AT.
