CLOSE VOTE IN SENATE
Holding Company Bill Passed
Washington, June 11. The Senate, by another close vote, rejected an amendment to deny the Security Exchange Com- mission power to initiate dissolu- tion, proceedings against holding companies, but an amendment by Senator Borah to prevent more than one holding company being imposed upon an operating com pany was accepted. 11
The decision was reached after conference of the Minister-of Finance, M. Regnier, and the, Goy- ernor of the Bank of France, M. Tannery. The suspension is con- sidered closely connected with the Bank of England's action last) week in requesting London banks and bullion dealers to refrain from forward dealing in gold, for spECU- lative accounts.
