To hasten return to normal economic condition and restore the American dollar to a parity in several foreign countries, the control exercised by the government over transactions in foreign exchange and the exportation of gold coin, bul lion and currency was terminated to day by President Wilson, acting on recommendations of the federal reservo board.

BREAK WITH WILSON WIDER Bitter Struggle Made to Suppress Pact, But Borah Ends Fight by Starting to Read Document. . WASHINGTON. June 9. Out of a whirlwind of developments the senate today got a copy of the peace treaty, and, after a five-hour fight, ordered it printed in the public record. At the same time it got under way the investigation of how copies have reached private hands in New Tork by summoning to testify a half dozen of the country's leading financiers. The copy which went into the record was brought to this country by a news paper man and was presented by Sen ator Borah, republican, of Idaho, just after the reading of a cablegram from President Wilson saying he could not without breaking faith send to the sen ate the tet of the treaty. . Pevcloptneats Clear Situation. The effect of today's history-making developments was to clear the air on the much-debated subject of of pub licity for the treaty text, to widen the breach between the president and the senate majority, and to forecast a sen sational turn for the inquiry into the manner in which copies of the docu ment have become available to unau thorized persons. Starting its investigation with an un expected vigor, the foreign relations committee, within a half hour after it convened, voted to call before it J. P. Morgan, II. P. Davison and Thomas F. Lamont, all of the Morgan banking firm; Jacob Schiff of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. and PauT Warburton,' formerly cen nected with the same concern, and Frank A. Vanderlip, former president of the National City bank. It then ex amined Frank L. Polk, acting secretary of state, about the official copies in the state department's vaults.

CONFERENCE BOARD IS NAMED Rabbi Wise Sets Off Debate on Seattle Uprising. CONFIDENCE PRESENT NEED Greatest Work of Present Time Is to Slake People Believe Adver tisements, Is Idea. Whether the Tacific Coast Adver tising Men's association shall go ram bling along the path of the future, as Is has in the past, electing to tackle its problems single-handed, r whether it shall affiliate with the Associated Advertising clubs of the world the huge and husky International organi sation is the question that plumped into the Pacific coast convention of ad men yesterday, with the request for a definite answer during the present session. Of all Issues before the convention, and there j-re several, this one crowds the field, with sentiment ranging from the negative and the lukewarm to de termined belief that such affiliation is the wise and proper move. There are those who argue that the P. C. A. M. A. has propelled its own canoe not un skillfully, and that it Is competent to continue:' but there Is also strong sentiment for an alliance that would be mutually advantageous, and which is bound to come. Confereaee la Ordered. The issue may be far advanced as the result of an executive conference held last night at the Multnomah between representatives of the Pacific coast ad men and President William C. D'Arcy of the Associated Advertising clubs of the world. President Charles F. Berg of the coast organization appointed n. conference committee consisting of; W. P. Strandborg. secretary of the association, and the presidents and delegates-at-Iarge of each of the visitr ing delegations, with President Berg presiding. Meantime the only other aspect of political interest is the undercurrent of contest between Los Angeles and Stockton, Cal., rivals for the 1920 con vention, who have sent breexy, per suasive delegations to Portland for the purpose of wooing accredited votes and cinching the next meet, a matter which will be determined by a vote at the closing session Wednesday night. The ad men tilted their cigars ceiling ward yesterday and gave themselves up to the enjoyment of the first actual sessions, with approximately 100 cre dentialed delegates seated in the Mult nomah auditorium. Prograaaaae Ia Varied. There were talks by laymen, whose knowledge of advertising is that of the target, and talks by fellows who have raised the art to the nth power and persuaded the public that Bink's soap, and such like. Is the premier cleanser of the continent. In a spirited, rapid-fire contest at the noon luncheon, tendered to the vis itors by the newspapers of Portland, and held in the Chamber of Commerce ciinlng hall, eight competing delegates upheld the commercial attractions of the coast and their own home towns, competing for special cups. The Cham ber of Commerce walls have hearkened to floods of persuasive eloquence, and" President D'Arcy of the international Is no tyro himself, but he spoke for both when he admitted that the stunt was both novel and speedy and that his experience held no equal to It. Fred Butterworth. speaking for Los Angeles, mon the fivc-mlnute content and the 1125 silver cup offered by the Benhke-Walker Business college of Portland. Second award, a silver cn;i presented by the Astoria chamber of commerce, was spiked by R. A. Bige low of the Spokane Ad club, while third prize was won by Roily Ayers. of San Francisco, the swiftest narrator of community assets that ever an ad club listened to. Other contestants were: Roy Hamman of Oakland. R. A. Cleveland of Modesto, Cal.; Robert E. Golnell of Pendleton, Kenneth C. Kerr of Seattle and R, A. Miller of Sacramento. x Bill Strandbora; Cseernl, Since prophets are held ait outworn adage to be without honor in their own countries, the chap who sired that canard should have been present at yesterday's afternoon session, when the entire delegation, home and other wise, rose in whooping acclaim when W. P. (Bill) Strandborg. secretary of the coast association, merely stepped to the rostrum to make an announcement.' Conservatism in advertising has its value, attested by Welford Beaton, edi tor and manager of Pacific Ports, a Seattle publication, whose theme was "Advertising Overseas." Briefly, though it was Kate Douglas Wiggin who first said it. he directed attention to the truth that "slow and sure goes fur in a day," and cited for example one or two widely known English products, standard and sought the world over. The advertisement for one of these, which is In every home and hotel, a sauce that you have guessed as you read the line, has not changed the wording or style of its advertisement in a noted F.r.gli?h publication for more iCuuwludcU va rat 11, Column 4.)
