CUBAN BANK FIGHT MAY
GO BEFORE CONGRESS
ATLANTA, May 16.—1 f the fed- i
eral reserve board agrees, even on
a compromise basis to the proposal
of the Boston Reserve bank to es- I
tablish a branch in Cuba it is cer- j
tain that Southern senators led by I
Senators Harris and George of Geor- j
gia, wlil carry the issue into the
next congress. Word comes from i
Washington that a dozen or more
senators, challenging the right} of
the Boston bank to invade Cuba will
t|re the matter to the floor of
congress unless the reserve board
rejects the Boston plan. That these
senators will be joined by others,
from the East and West and repre
senting other reserve banks is the
understanding in Washington, ac
cording to reports received here by
John K. Ottley, president of the
Fourth National Bank of Atlanta and
a director of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, who recently head
ed the Southern delegation appear
ing before the board.
The board is not expected to ren

bers, James, of Tennessee,, and Cun

President Now Making New
Friends and Confidants Within
Ranks of Washington Groups
SENATORS ARE ALIENATED
Lasker, Hinges, Hoover, Butler, I
Hudson and Root Among
President’s Supporters
WASHINGTON, May 16 Presi-
dent Harding’s estrangement from
the irreconcilable senators with
whom he was on terms of intimacy
during the last term in the. senate
and at the outset of his adminitsra
tion is a fact which is taken by po
litical exegetes to explain his change
of outlook upon foregn affairs and
his advocacy of American partner
ship in the International Court.
President Harding’s contact with the
senate is now intrequent, uncertain,
and without its former cordiality.
In quitting the company of the
“irreconcilables” President Harding
has escaped their influence and at
the same time has put himself in
closer touch and apparently also in
sympathy with Republicans who fa
vor giving the United States a larger
part > n international co-operation.
Chalrrman Lesker of the Shipping
Board, Secretary Hughes, Secretary
Hoover, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
Professor Manley O. Hudson and Eli.
hu Root are chief among President
Harding’s new friends and confid
ants. Former Senator New and for
mer Senator Frelinghuysen are still
among his intimates, but like him
self they have ceased to represent
the senate’s viewpoint.
This absence of “irreconcilables”
from the President’s entourage was
observed during his stay in Florida.
It was thought that after the ad
journment of congress many Repub
lican sen’ators would flock to Flor
ida to enjoy a holiday with the tit
ular leader of their party. There
I was no such foregathering. On the
contrary, they were conspicuous only
by their failure to appear. Sena- ,
I tor Watson visited Florida while the I
| president was there but was not
' received in audience. When the
president went to New York to de
liver his address to the members of
the Associated Press there was the
same absence of Republican senators
and the same prominence of Chair
man Lasker that were observable
during Mr. Harding’s sojourn in
Florida
The president, it is conceded, has
a perfect right to choose his friends
and there is no disposition to criti
cize him for preserving a separation
of the legislative and executive
’ branches even in hjs social rela
tions if that is part of his plan of
avoiding the appearance of., behm
swayed’by the senate. Tfie point
that observers are making is that
the president’s aloofness from his
J former ‘‘irreconcilable” associates is
having a reflex in his foreign and
domestic policies.
■ Even in respect to the govern-
I ment of the Republican party of
I which-the president is the head, he
• finds himself alienated from the sen
atorial leaders. The chairman of the
Republican senatoifal campaign
committee is Senator George H.
Moses, of New Hampshire. The
whole world has been informed by
Senator Moses of his relentless op-
