DISCOUNT LIBERALIZING
Financial experts say nearly $1,000,000,000 in free gold may be pul to work under the terms of th>-bill. The Federal reserve banks will be authorized to advance credit on sound securities which are now not eligible for rediscount.
A maximum sum of $10,000,000,-000 ln additional credit can be thrown Into the fight against depression by the provisions of the measure, Secretary of Treasury Ogden L. Mills has estimated. The reserve hanks are authorized by Ihe bill to provide an additional billion dollars in currency hut ofti cials are confident this will not be necessary.
SENATE MAY AMEND
If such action was taken, however, the new currency would be guaranteed by Ihe usual 10 per cent of gold, with the balance of collateral In United States securities.
The bill's passage through the Senate, while regarded as assured, is unlikely to be so smooth through the House, Senator Glass proposes lo urge two amendments. One of these would forbid lhe granting of a loan to a bank of more than $500,000 capitalization in the case of banks which apply individually for aid, it must be shown that they—like individual banks—must have exhausted their means of obtaining credit by ordinary means.

FEAR RED ARMIES
During the lull in fighting which preceded resumption of hostilities Monday, the Chinese government oclals had been concerned with reports that Communists had cap tured Nanchang, capital of Klang si province, and were threatening to capture the large commercial city of Hankow, which is up the Yangtze river past Nanking.
Nervousness waB reported at Hankow, where American, Japanese and other commercial interests are centered. Several Communist armies were reported within ten miles of the suburbs of the city. The Communist armies have been spreading their area of control throughout the southern interior provinces in recent months, while the attention of the government has been concentrated on the warfare with Japan.
The rapid preparations of the Japanese for their big offensive against Chinese troops in the Yangtze delta overshadowed the Communist campaign when fighting was resumed on the Chapei-Wooaung front, after a 36-hour lull over Sunday.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 15- (UP) — New American protests to Japan have been made as a result of two incidents arising from the activities of Japanese soldiers in Shanghai.
The protests concern flrst. the falling of 12 artillery shells in Ihe area of the International Settlement guarded by United States marines; second, the continued Japanese use of the International Settlement as a base for their military operations.
The continued falling of shells into a marine area Is regarded gravely here; and the use of the Settlement as a military base Is held, in this country's view make tt difficult to expect Chinese soldiers not lo attack, or bombard, this renter for foreigners.
Meantime Consul General Edwin S, Cunningham reported to the State department late today that as a "precautionary measure” he had advised Americans at Soochow Wusln, Changchow and Changsliu to withdraw to a place of greater safety, preferably Shanghai.
Ambassador Katsujl Debuchi of Japan visited Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson for 45 minutes this afternoon, and discussed all angles of the Shanghai campaign.
Debuchi Is understood to have lold Stimson that Japan will do all she can to avoid use of Ihe Settle ment as a landing base for the thousands of soldiers now arriving
