REPUBLICANS FAVOR
PAPER AS ASSET
House Caucus Approves Prin-
cipIe as Circulation Issue
in Emergency
Committee to Consider Currency
Question and Report at
Next Session

WASHINGTON, May 6.-At 1920 to-
night the republican caucus of the
house committed itself by vote of
ll5 to 2l to the principle of CONNER
cial paper as an asset upon which to
issue additional circulation in time of
emergency. This was in accordance
with the Vreeland bill, but by a sepaJ-
ate action the resolution was so amend
ed as to eliminate Vreelands name
from the bill.
BY still another vote the caucus de-
cided TO recommend the appointment
Of committee to consider the cur
rency question and report bill at the
next session of congress.
Coupled with this provision was an
other providing for the immediate ap-
pointment of a committee of five mem
bers to draft new bill in accordance
with the action of the caucus and along
the general lines of the second bill. In
accordance with this action the chair
appointed as such committee Vreeland
Of New Jersey. Burton of Ohio. Weeks
of Massachusetts. Mckinney of Illinois
and Knowland of California.
Under the terms of the resolution the
committee will be expected to report
a perfected bill to an adjourned con-
ference to be held next Monday even
ing.
VOTE AGAINST CANTEEN
BY the overwhelming vote of 167 to
46 and following a two hours debate.
the house today again went on record
against establishment of the can
teen in national soldiers homes. In the
course of the discussion a man giving
his name as George T. Gridley of
Providence, r. l., unfurled an Ameri-
can flag and proceeded to make an
address from the gallery on the tenn
perance question. He was promptly
taken out.&
Perhaps the real sensation of the day
was an admission by Bennett of New
York. member of the immigration
committee, that he had. under the old
immigration law. -'railroaded" the natu-
ralization of many foreigners in one
day.
With the exception of the adoption of
the conference report on the bill. re-
organizing the consular service, the
sundry civil appropriation bill was un-
der consideration the entire day. Little
progress was made toward its COM
pletion.
