to Hasten Legislation.

ma jority leader of the house, as
sured President Wilson at White

would be. j,
Speaker Clark reminded the presi-
dent that congress would have to pay
strict attention to business and asked
him to help at the outset to eliminate

ly regarding other important meas
ures, among them the Webb bill to
permit domestic corporations to
maintain collective foreign selling
agencies, the corrupt political prac-
tices bill, and conservation measures.
