Democratic Program

Administration leaders are planning
to renew a motion originally made by
Senator Stone to refer the resolution
TO the foreign relations committee, but
debate on the motions themselves may
take a wide rarge, including consider
alton of Senator Borah's resolution
which would have the Senate rea affirm
the Monroe Doctrine and the Washing
ton and Jefferson pronounciament
against foreign entanGlements.
Democratic senators insist that this
is not the time for prolonged discus
sion in view Of the press Of legislation
and as an alternative proposal for
quick disposition of the subject they
lave under advsement resolution
which would express it to be the sense
Of the Senate that the address of the
President does not propose abandon
ment or limitation of the American
Monroe Doctrine, nor involve an alter
alton in foreign policy which would
send armed forces of the United States
into foreign territory for any purpose
except to preserve the peace of this
country or protect American rights.

Civil Service for Postnnasters
The President told Senator Polndex-
ter, author of an amendment to the
legislative, judicial and executive ap-
propriation bill adopted by the Senate
which would extend the civil service
requirements to all postmasters that he
favored the change. At present only
postmasters in small towns in the
fourth class are selected by examina-
ton and the remainder are appointed
bv the President and confirmed by the
Senate. Mr.. Wilson said he would be
rratified to have the amendment agreed
to in conference. He has previously
urged a proposal of this kind, and

the President that he did NOT be,ieve
the House would approve the part of
the administration recommendations
prohibiting strikes or lockouts pending
an investigation. The President said
ne would not insist upon any particular
form of legislation, but that it was alb
solutely necessary to decide on some
means of preventing strikes on the rail
roads. Administration leaders now are
working on compromise measure
which the President probably will en-
dorse. 1t provides for an investigating
board made up of representatives Of
both sides as suggested by the railroad
