able to the naturalization project. pro-
viding a plan can be devised that will
be satisfactory TO the directors, the

as to whether this can be done owing
to the many legal obstacles which
have arisen since the legislation fol-
lowing the Hughes investigation was

in the Senate, Which Re-
ceived the Reciprocity
Measure Today
FIlIDUSIfR IS NOW FEARED
Agreement Passed BY House Last
Night Sent TO Senate and Turn
ed Over to Committee Which
Will Report il Out.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 15.-Reci-
procity with Canada, which today be-
came the principal question before the
Senate, is believed to depend on
whether the opposition will resort TO
filfbuster to defeat it. 1t is the best
judgment of the Senate leaders on
both sides that IL the Mccall bill TO
carry out the agreement is permitted
to reach a vote at this session the
Senate viii! pass it by as decisive
vote as was recorded for it In the
House last night.
The Senate committee on foreign
relations today reported the Canadian
agreement pack TO the Senate and il
was sent TO the finance committee. 1t
had been in the custody of the COM
mittee on foreign relations since COM
ing to the Senate, but no action was
taken regarding it, The effect of re-
ferring ii back TO the Senate is a
practical recognition of the fact il
contains nothing likely to involve the
United States in conflict with peace
full trade relations with other coun-
tries
The Mccall bill which the House
passed vase sent to the Senate to-
cay and was sent 10 the finance COM
mittee. II is said the committee feels
courtesy to the president demands the
bill be reported to the Senate and is
not disposed to bear the responsible
ity OF encompassing its defeat by the
pigeon hole method.
