Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
Lodge, chairman of the senate commit
tee on the Philippines. and Senator
Burrows, member of the same COM
mittee, called on Secretary Root and
briefly discussed probable Philippine
legislation at the coming session. Sen
ator Lodge says that if the opposition
is willing to allow legislation relative
to the Philippines to be enacted with
out long debate something will be at
tempted in the way of remedying the
currency system and probably in the
direction of reducing the duties on
Philippine goods coming to the United
States. Both senators also called upon
Secretary Hay and discussed legisla-
tion which the state department will
likely submit to the senate at the com
ing session. These include the Color1-
blan treaty for the canal and the
reciprocity treaty with Cuba.
