Washington, December l9-Among the
few senators at the capitol today the ac-
ton of the committee on foreign relations
yesterday in adopting the Cameron reso-
luton was the principal topic Of converse
ton. Speculation naturally turned TO the
senate, There is an agreement among the
members of the senate not to attempt to
press the resolution to consideration dur
ing the two days before adjournment for
The holidays, but 1t is their purpose 10 get
it up as soon as practicable after the re-
converting Of congress- and to urge 1t to
final consideration as soon as possible. The
advocates of the resolution express their
willingness to forego speech making in or
der to facilitate action by the senate and
say that so far as they can have any in
fluence the opponents of the resolution
will be allowed to do the talking.
The enemies Of the resolution have no
intention of allowing the resolution to 80
through by default. Indeed, they do not
hesitate TO express their purpose TO pre-
vent its passage by any means at their
control. They profess TO believe now that
they Will be able to defeat the measure on
