tional period often days allowed the
president to consider the bin expired
with the midnight hour, and accord
ing to the terms of the legislation, the
president having failed to return the
bill to congress with or without his
approval, it became law The plac-
ing of the bill upon the statute books

markable struggles in the parliament

preparation of new tariff bill was
commenced. The extraordinary ses-
sion of congress was called August z.
