STAR CHAMBER METHODS SUGGESTED.

SUPPORTERS OF THE DAVIS RESOLUTION WANT
To DISCUSS IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Washr gton. Feb. 3-When the Davis resolution on
the Monroe Doctrine. reported from the Senate
Committee Foreign Relations. is reached on the
calendar Is made the unfinished business OF the
Senate, motion will be made TO proceed with the
debate behind closed doors. As such motion re-
qures only single second. II is possible for two
Senators 10 compel such action 10 be taken Many
Senators believe that this is the proper course with
respect 10 this question. and the statement Is made
with positiveness that the outset. at least. the
doors will be closed the public. and the official
porters Of the Senate debates will be excluded from
the chamber. so that the words spoken in debate
canno, be taken down.
4 leading member OF the Committee on Foreign
Relations said this morning that no harm could
come trcin the carefully prepared essays on this
resolution but that harm might out Of the I'M
promptu debate that would certainly follow this
question when It came before the Senate regularly
for consideration.
That the resolution will pass. although II may be
modified somewhat, there is no doubt, and some
members OF the committee hold tha, in the future.
when this Government has occasion 10 invoke the
doctrine as enuncated by the Senate. the debate
may be called in 10 interpret the construction placed
upon the resolution at the time II was aoop'ed.
Diplomats will. ii is said look upon this debate as
a part OF the res gestae and as the Senate desires
the text OF the resolution speak FOR Itself. 1t Will
see TO II that the debate does not appear fo' tho
future use or misuse Of any Secretary OF state or
foreign diplomat This appears TO be the judgment
OF a majority Of the Committee on Foreign Kea-
lions At all events the motion TO go into executive
session for the consideration OF the subject cannot
be defeated although, after The doors nave oeen
