BANKING MEASURE

“Filibuster” in U.S. Senate OTHER WORK DELAYED Obstructionist Tactics (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received Jan. 18, 8.5 p-m.) Washington, Jan. 17. The Senate’s rejection of President Hoover’s veto on the Philippine Independence Bill to-day by a vote of 66 to 26 merely postpones the determined “filibuster” against the Glass Banking Bill, a measure sponsored by the recognised Democratic leadership. To-morrow, the seventh day of the debate, will start with an attempt to defeat the obstructionist tactics so far successfully employed by Senator Long, of Louisiana, to defeat the Bill, which is specifically designed to. prevent national banks from engaging in the securities business. However, it contains a clause allowing branch banking —that is, an institution in one State may do business in other States to which Senator Long objects. His “filibuster” becomes a. national issue, as it m effectively delaying other imperative legislation and has already practically assured the necessity of an extra session after March 4. Under the existing Senate rules a Senator may talk indefinitely, which Mr. Long threatens to do unless his proposal to inflate the currency is agreed to. To-day President Hoover sent a message to Congress urging early balancing of the Budget, but the present temper of Congress makes tins doubtful. In fact, it is considered unlikely that any important legislation such as prohibition reform, farm relief, or the new Tax Bill will be completed before Mr, Roosevelt is inaugurated.

It is announced that the cablegram sent by the Cricket Control Board to the Marylebone Cricket Club was in the following terms: — “Body-line bowling a menace to interests of the game, making protection of body main consideration. Intensely bitter feeling among players. In our opinion is unsportsmanlike. Unless immediately stopped is likely to upset friendly relations between Australia and England.” PROTEST NOT RECEIVED No Effect on Present Match (Received Jan. 18, 9.10 p.m.) London, Jan. 18. The “Daily Mail” says that the Australian Cricket Board’s protest has not yet arrived. A Marylebone Cricket Club official says that the committee has not discussed shock tactics. If the board asks for an opinion some days must elapse before a meeting can be held. Nothing can be done to affect the Adelaide match. A slashing attack on bodyline bowling was made by the Rev. J. H. Parsons, who, in an interview, said: “What I predicted is happening in Australia. I don’t think it is finished yet, and I fear someone will be dangerously hurt, and then something will be done to stop It. This bouncing the ball halfway just outside the leg stump straight at the batsman's head with a leg-side field to stop shots, is not only definitely dangerous, as the present series of Tests is proving, but it is spoiling cricket as a spectacle by eliminating all the glorious shots of first-class batsmen. A spirit of misunderstanding and hatred is being created in Australia at a time when the call for closer relationship is so essential.” The “Daily Sketch” says that the whole question of the leg theory must seriously and officially be considered.
