Another Session.

Washington, Feb. 20. - Prospects
that there will be no extra session OF
congress are not so promising today
as they were last night. The republi.
can senators are today insisting on a
free and full' discussion Of all meas.
ures. They admitted that the reason
for their course is to force an extra
session.
Several republicans say that while
they are not opposed to granting the
president power to arm ships and pro-
vide funds for that purpose, they are
against authorizing him to use "other
instrumentaIities." Their feeling is
that congress should be in session II
such powers are to be granted to the
president.
