PRICE,

Mr.: Dinsmore (Ark.), the ranking mi-
nority member of the committee, says
the minority has not matured any line
OF action, although it may propose an
amendment designed to eliminate any
suggestion of colonial system which
the resolution may now convey. Some
of the members of the committee stated
privately that they would not vote for
the resolution if it could be construed
as Objectionable to the administration.
Owing to the absence of all exact plans
the impression prevails in some quar-
ters that there will be no haste toward
considering the subject.
