WATCHFUL WAITING
POLICY CONDEMNED

Washington, Feb. "a. - Interna-
tional as well as domestic problems of
importance are still confronting con-
gress, notwithstanding the ratification
yesterday by the senate of the general
arbitration treaties with foreign ma
tions. 1t is certain the foreign rela-
tions committee of the senate will be
engaged for some time with the Mica
raguan treaty, before it now, and the
Colombian treatey, expected to be sub
mitted any time by the secretary of
state.
In addition to these affairs, the
foreign relations committee is charged
with the important duty of upholding
the president in the policy toward
Mexico, and whether it will be able to
restrain any longer some of the sena-
tors who favor a more aggressive
policy on the part of this government,
even to the extent of urging armed
intervention in Mexico, is question.
Administration leaders will seek to
keep "the lid on" in congress as far
as Mexico is concerned, but bitter
feeling over the killing of William S.
Benton, it is feared, will make it i'm
possible to restrain senators and rep
resentatives of border states partic
ularly, from voicing their opposi-
ton to the "watchful waiting" policy
of the government.
The foreign relations committee has
before it complete arbitration treaties
negotiated with Great Britain and
France, and Secretary of State Bryan
plans to send to the senate in the near
future the peace treaties he is nego-
tiating with all the powers. Already
thirteen of these ,pacts have been
signed. Whether the senate commit
tee will report these treaties at the
present session of congress is deemed
doubtful, but action on the Nicara-
guam and Colombian treaties will
! be urged as soon as possible.
Repeal of the free tolls provision of
the Panama canal act also confronts
congress, now that the treaties are
out of the way, and President Wilson
4is expected to send word to party
leaders this week as to the course to
be taken to bring this issue directly
before congress. Democrats who arc
ready to support the president and
repeal the tolls clause are encouraged
with the ratification of the treaty
with Great Britain, but those who op-
pose still insist that ratification of the
British treaty will have no effect on
the situation. Senator O'Gorman, who
will lead the fight in the senate
against the repeal, said tonight that
treaties had no relation to the tolls
issue.
Some senators and representatives
believe that a caucus in both branches
will be essential before the question
is submitted for debate and final
action.
1t will be several weeks before the
trust program is ready for general
discussion. Meanwhile appropriation
bills will occupy both the house and
the senate. The senate will begin
consideration tomorrow of the post
office bill, already passed by the
house. This involves an issue over the
proposal to take from the postmaster
general authority to make any change

COMMISSION MAY
HURRY DECISION
Railroads Would be Relieved to
Know Results of Original
Proceeding.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The
statement issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission on Monday n
the 5 per cent arvance rate case docs
not necessarily mean that the de.
cision OF the commission will be fur
Their delayed.
In the statement it is announced
1t is true, that the commiss on will
not conclude hearings upon tAe CO.
lateral issues involved In this pro-
ceeding, but not many railroads ex-
pected the commissioner to include
the whole case at one time.
For instance, If that body finds tina,
the railroads require greater n II
revenue, as the carriers contend, It
j, quite possible that an announce
ment to that effect may come by the
first week in June, as contemplated.
The big question would then be- SET
tied.
AS for the second question that m
volving the manner in which the
revenue may be produced, it may not
be finally settled for some time The
commission plainly intimates in its
circular that this problem is ono that
is not yet settled.
The railroads would, however, be
tremendously relieved to know the
result Of the original proceeding as
early as possible. And the hope s
still entertained that decision in the
case will be forthcoming before the
summer recess, as indicated by Com
missioner Harlan from the bench.
After that question is settled the
railroads would cheerfully appear be
fore the commission further to SUD
NIT suggestions as to the manner Of
increasing the net earnings That
issue could be met later, it is point
ed out, and the commission may de.
eide to take it up after the big case
is out Of the way
The statement issued Monday is as
follows:
Pursuant to the announcement
heretofore made, the Interstate Com.
merce Commission will hear argu-
ments in these cases on April 27,
1914, by which time also all briefs
touching issues involved must be
filed. The argument will embrace
all the questions presented on the
record. That part Of the record that
deals with the financial condition and
requirements Of the carriers and
with the rate schedules under sus-
pension in the proceedings is now
closed except as to such exhibits az
have been requested of record and
except as to the replies from the car
riers to the questions touching their
financial condition and requirements
submitted ythe commission in it's
circular letter Of December TO- 1913
1t will be understood, however, that
the record will not be closet as to
the related matters involved by the
inquiry instituted by the commission
until the replies Of the carriers on
those questions, submitted by the
commission in its circular letters Of
December 20, 1913, and February 26
1914, have been filed, the investiga-
tions by the commission In connec.
ton, have been placed Of record, and
