Eatra Session of Congress to Force
Through Ship-P Purchase BiNLooms Up
BY Lawrence Todd
The courers Special Washington Correspondent
BY Lawrence Todd

Washington, d. c., Jan. S.-All pre-
dictions of an extra session of con-
gress to begin early in the spring and
to continue until the administration
program has been disposed of, are sup
ported by the warning just given by
Senator Stone Of Missouri The chair
man of the senate committee on for
eign relations has served notice on
the republicans who are filibustering
against the ship purchase bill that the
majority is ready to stay here until
next December, If necessary And 1T
seems altogether likely that the nee
essity of calling the new members
here in March will arise.
Senators Cummins and Kenyon of
Iowa have not taken part in the OBJ
structive tactics begun by Senators
Root, Lodge, Gallinger and SfMeQt.
Senator Cummins will offer various
to the ship purchase plan,
and Senator Kenyon, while favoring
the principle of government ownership
involved, will probably criticise the
manner in which it is to be applied.
He also Is to seek to amend the COM
mittee bill. In this connection 1t is
to his Iowa friends to
note that Senator Reed of Missouri
favors straightout government pur
chase and ownership Of merchant
fleet, instead of government partner
ship in shipping corporation.

The first legislative product Of the
national popular government league
conference here this week has been
Senator Ovens introduction Of a bill
authorizing the states to establish a
scheme of proportional representation
of the parties in congress. He would
have all members Of the national
house of representatives, from any
states having three or more members,
elected at large. Each party would
nominate full ticket of congressional
candidates, and no elector could split
ticket. Parties, as represented by
their own nominees, would be chosen
to office by straight" voting. Each
party would be allowed the same per-
centage of members as it's total vote,
in proportion to the total vote cast,
would indicate. The candidates on
each party list who received the high
est number of direct votes on the bal
lot would get their respective party's
appropriation of seats in congress.
The party vote for each list would De
the highest cast for any candidate on
that list.
Needless to say, Owens scheme If
enacted into law and adopted by the
legislatures of the several states,
would greatly change the makeup of
congress. The democrats would lose,
the republicans would gain in many
places and lose in others, and the bull
moose and socialists would gain con-
siderably. Individual influence in the
house would recede; party discipline
would tighten up, and the political pro-
grams would be forced almost as
sharply on the floor as before the vot-
ers during campaign. Emphasis would
probably shift from patronage to laws
as the rewards of political support and
the various minority parties would
probably combine on legislative pro-
grams in congress as they have never
attempted to do.
But Owen does not expect the pres

Representative Vollmer of Daven-
port, grows more and more pleased
with the result of his bid for "genu-
inc neutrality" The hearing given by
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs to his resolution forbidding the
export of munitions of war to the
belligerent nations abroad has brought
out great volume of testimony to the
effect that the United States has been
playing favorites in the struggle
abroad. Vollmer, as an ardent pro-
German, is determined to voice his
protest so long as he is in office.
Instead of falling off, the number Of
letters and petitions sent to congress
asking that the resolution be adopted
is steadily growing. This expression
appears to be coming not merely from
Germans but from many groups OF
Americans of English or Irish stock,
who are opposed to the furnishing of
instruments of murder" to either side
from. this country. Peace advocates
are endorsing it as the most immed-
lately available measure by which to
get before congress their appeal for
some action which shall hasten the
end of the war.
