MEXICO PLANS FOR National Bank With Big Capital to Supply Funds —Like U. S. System. El Paso, Tex., Feb. 21—The plan for a new currency system in Mex- ico, including the establishment of a mational bank under conditions re- sembling the federal reserve system of the United States, and a new cur- rency issue, retiring the present de- preciated Carranza currency, has been presented to the first chief of the de facto government by his fin- ancial advisers, according to a Mex- jican official who arrived here today from Guadalajara. The new system, it is said, would be based upon the $250,000,000 metal reserves said to be held in Mexican ‘banks. The present Carranza currency would be retired gradually a morator- ijum having been suggested by the de returned | facto government’s financial advisers to prevent the liquidation of debts. the present fiat money, pending he establishment of the new issue of hotes as legal tender. The national bank, which would be known as the Bank of Mexico, would, under the plan as outlined, have a capital stock of 250,000,000 pesos. The government would subscribe one- third and the members banks the re- maining two-thirds—each in propor- tion to its present reserves of metal money. The government, the finan- cial advisers say would' pay its assess- ments “as far as practicable” in me- tal money and guarantee the remain- der by pledging half of all export duties on precious metals and taxes on oils, which are to be paid in gold. The government would control the Bank of Mexico, which would have the sole right to issue currency. This new issue would be guaranteed by the metal reserve and further sup- ported by bonds of the department of the interior, bearing 3 per cent. , SAYS PELTON Nomination T | interest.

WILL MAINTAIN POINTS Submarine Issue Still in Grave State— Intention of Armed Ships king After Feb. 29 Is in Abstract—Lan- sing Lays Down Law to Bernstorfi. Washington, Feb. 21.—State depart- ment officials said today they consider the submarine issue with Germany still in a grave state because the Lusi tania agreement in the light of the newly announced submarine policy of | the Germanic powers, contains no as surances for the future. The situation created by the an- nounced intention of sinking armed merchant ships without warning after ry 29, officials said, was still in the abstract, and w eing considered | s such, but the Lusitania agreement | elf, as it now stands, they explained, merely treats of the past, and al- though it gives all in that respect for which the United States has contend- ed officials do not feel that tt clearly guarantees against another such dis aster, because while it refers at the outset to the assurances that German | submarines would not sink unresisting | line it does not reiterate them. Secretary Lansing already has told Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, that assurances that the previous declarations will not be aban- doned in the new campaign are highly desirable. It was demonstrated that the Lusi- tania was wholly unarmed, but the United States has since taken the posi- tion that it considers a ship armed for defensive purposes only and a ship carrying no guns in the same class The German contention is that under | the new conditions of naval warfare brought about by the advent of the submarine, a merchant ship to be im- | mune from attack should carry on arms whatever. American officials now are waiting to g0 over the appendices attached to the Gérman-Austrian announcement giving allegations of instances in | which British merchant ships have at- tacked submarines, and the so-called | secret orders of the British admiralty to merchant ship captains to war on | the submersible REPLY TO ROOT.
