to-day, commenting on the Chili-Argentina stu

between Europe and the United States.
Upon the latter says the "Neue Freie

Of American society which today would

Illinois sounded note of warning as
TO the size of our annual appropria
ton S320,000,000 would have been
spent on our new navy and we should
stop. Speaking to an amendment, Mr..
w. A. Smith, (Mich.) brought up the
question of the abrogation of the
treaty Of 1917, prohibiting the m2iu
tenance of war vessels upon the great
lakes. Mr.. Smith said the treaty was
an inhibition upon ship-building anG
commercial interests of the lakes
against which he protested. The
treaty originally made in times OF
peace was very properly negotiated
Reasons which then existed had pass
ed away. He desired to see the
shipyards of the great lakes partici.
pate in the building of warships
Mr.. Mann Qll.l opposed the abroga-
ton of the treaty. If we built war
ships on the lakes, England must have
similar privilege. The treaty, he
argued, was absolutely essential to
the safety of cities of the lakes in case
of war with Great Britain. Mr.. Rixey
offered an amendment to strike out
the entire provision for the increase Of
the navy, but it was lost on rising
vote of 46 TO 80.
