Unlike the pending Cummins roso-

No Debate Held.
There was no debate on the reso-
luton, but after its introduction
Democratic members OF the foreign

formal conference and planned to
forestall discussion Of the matter on

that the president had proposed no
departure from national Traditions,
and that there is nothing in the res0-
