ing to the protection Of children. And
| desire to say in this connection that
the motion was made for the purpose
of having the bill printed.
The PRESIDENT: The Secretary
suggests that you make a written Or

was introduced in this chamber. and
IL seemed to me that perhaps under
| the motion it might be recalled for
the purpose Of printing. am per-
fectly willing to prepare written or
der If the Chair thinks that the proper
way.
Mr. DEERING of York: Mr. Pres
ident it occurs to me that a report
from the Judiciary committee reporting
the bill back to the Senate for print
lhg' would be a good way to do it, be-
| cause that report could then go before
the House and be concurred in. / sue-
sest that because we have had a par
llai nearing on the matter already, and
an order at the present time might
confuse those who participated in the
nearing. That would not conflict with
the suggestion Of the secretary.
MI DAVIES: Mr.. President, I do
not understand that there Is to be anv
further hearing on the bill. A hear
ing was duly advertised for yesterday
and held. My understanding is that
the hearing is closed. The only DUR
pose of the motion was to send the
| bill back to the Senate for the purpose
of having it printed, and for no other
purpose.
The PRESIDENT: The Chair will
| entertain the motion.
