 "Fulfillment of old style contracts in accordance with other written terms. namely by actual delivery or receipt of cotton or by setoff or ringout or by cash sediment in the future month in which the nature. is not prevented by tho recent amendment to the cotton futures act Under the provisions of the amendment as passed three is se- rious doubt as to legality of permitting the execution of any old style contracts whatsoever after March 1, even though such contracts be for the, purpose of liquidating existing old style contracts. However. after conference with the treasury department, it was agreed. in order 10 help the trade in the situation brought about by the unexpected pass age and immediate effectiveness of the amendment. to make no objection to bona fide sales or purchases for sole purpose of such liquidation until the conclusion of April 30.''

D. c. BILLFAILS
As. SESSION ENDS


The District OF Columbia apprOpri-
alton bill was still deadlOcked IN
conference when the last session OF
the. sixty-fifth Congress adjourned az
noon today.
This bill failed OF passage along
with a number OF other important
supply bills. The House conferees up
to the last insisted on striking down
the half-and-half principal and the
Senate conferees were equally in
sistent on adhering to it.
Congress did not pass q continuing
resolution to extend the old apDro-
priation act. Under the circum-
stances the appropriation bill will
have to be taken up In the extra
session and either passed or q CON
tinuing resolution put through or the
District Government will be without
funds when the next fiscal year opens
July I.
It Is expected that an extra session
will be called early enough so that
the District appropriation bill can Be
put through by the time the new
fiscal year opens There is every rea-
son to believe that the new Congress
will stand by the haif-and-hah pTin-
ciple.

IMMEDIATE PEACE AND
RETURN TO NATURAL BASIS
ASKED BY GOV. COOLIDGE

Removal OF Governmental control
and return to from an artificial to a
natural basis, will do much toward
solving our problems of Teconstruc-
ton, Governor Calvin Coolidge of
Massachusetts told the gathering of
governors and mayors in the East
Room Of the White House today.
Governor Coolidge opened the sec
ond days session of the important
conference called by Secretary of
Labor Wilson to try to formulate a
tide the country over from war to
peace.
"The first thing to do" said Gov
ernor Coolidge. lis to make peace
with those with whom we have been
at war. With peace made, artificial
barriers removed and our business
again under way, there is more like
ly to be a scarcity of labor than an
over supply. There is a shortage of
man power abroad. There never was
so much work to be done in the
world. In Massachusetts, we are
planning TO spend S4.400,OOO on road
building and building construction"
Governor Coolidge favors taking
the Government guarantee from
wheat prices, declaring that lower
food prices will help bring about a
readjustment as quickly as any one
thing that can be done.
Governor Coolidge's address was
fairly typical TO the spirit of the
men who are here attending the con-
ference.
They seem to unite in the view that
the nations financial stability will
bring industrial employment back to
normal soon.

LODGE RESOLUTION
ON WORLD LEAGUE

The text OF the resolution read il
the Senate last night by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts follows:
Whereas, under the Constitu-
tion IL is the function of the SEN
ate to advise and consent to or
dissent from the ratification of
any treaty OF the United States,
and no such treaty can become
operative without the consent of
the Senate expressed by the af-
firmative vote OF two-thirds OF
the Senators present; and
Whereas, owing to the vic
tory OF the arms of the United
States and of the nations with
whom it is associated, a peace
conference was convened and is
now in session at Paris for the
purpose of settling the terms OF
peace; and
Whereas, a committee of the
conference has proposed a con-
stitution for a league OF nations
and the proposal, is now before
the peace conference for its con-
sideration:
Now, therefore. be it resolved
by the Senate OF the United
States in the discharge of its con-
stitutional duty of advice in re-
gard to treaties. that il is the
sense of the Senate that while IL
is their sincere desire that the
nations OF the world should try
to promote peace and general
disarmament. the constitution OF
the league of nations in the form
now proposed TO the peace con-
ference should not be accepted by
the United States.
And be il resolved further.
That ii is the sense of the Senate
that the negotiations on the part
of the United States should i'm
mediately be directed to the ut
most expedition of the urgent
business of negotiating peace
terms with Germany satisfactory
to the United States and the ma
tions with whom the United
States is associated in the war
against the German government
and the proposal for a league of
nations to insure the permanent
peace of the world should be then
taken up for careful and serious
consideration

American nation is founded all de-
mand that the people Of the National
Capital be given the right to vote,
he said.
Can't Believe His Ears.
There is no argument which can be
used against the appeal of Washing
ton for suffrage for its citizens. /
could hardly believe my ears when i
was told that the people of the Ma
ttonal Capital of the greatest repub-
lie on earth were forbidden to vote.
"To think that the residents of the
city of Washington, endeared in the
hearts of American people for the
past century and as the very heart
OF American democracy, should be de-
prived of the right of casting the bal
lot. 1t is beyond my understanding.
Congress should take steps at the
right the undemocratic conditions as
regards the right to vote, existing III
the National Capital.
West to Back Fight.
Il can safely say that the West
where the love of country and Of the
principles of true democracy are OF
5rst concern, will be sOlidly behind
the National Capital in its campaign
to win the right to vote"
''The North, East. and South, / can
also safely say, in behalf of the men
from those sections Of the country
attending the conference, will support
washington's plea, by instructing
their Congressman to permit the vote
in the National Capital.
81 predict that when a bill to give
suffrage to the District comes up in
Congress, the ayes will make it I'M
animous; for Congress is representa-
tive of the democratic ideals of the
American nation. and Congress will
see to it that American principles pre-
vail throughout the whole country.
Should Introduce Bill.
Washington should be given the
right to vote, just as soon as it is
possible to put a District suffrage bill
through Congress-" said Daniel L.
Keister, mayor of Harrisburg, Pa,
and one of the conferees meeting at
the White House today.
Taxation without representation
is tyranny is as much of an Ameri-
canism today as it was in the time
of Patrick Henry. 1t strikes me as
being. rather peculiar that the Ma
tional Capital, which has been justly
idealized as the seat Of American
ideals, should be deprived of a con-
stitutional right.
Washington, know, is glad TO
send her sons to defend the honor of
the nation; Washington is glad to
give of her wealth to aid in uphold
ing the strength of the nation, and
Washington, I know, rightfuily re-
sents having her citizens regarded as
people without the ability to vote as
American citizens.
by all means, let the residents of
the National Capital vote. Whe..
their campaign for suffrage comes
up in Congress, they will surely find
all Of the strength and influence of
the rest Of the nation behind them in
their plea for their constitutional
rights.
