[SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
FOUGHT IN SENATE
Elimination of Appropriation
for Tariff Commission Pro-
vokes o Controversy.
TRADE BOARD ALSO CUTS
Addition of $30O,921,727 Is
Chiefly Due to Provision for
Shipping Programme.


wAsHINaroN. June 27.-When the
sundry civil appropriation bill was laid
before the Senate to-day trouble started
without delay. The Committee on APP
propriations had cut out the appropria-
ton Of $500, 900 for the tariff commits
sion and had reduced the appropriation
for the Federal Trado Commission from
81, ooo, 900 to 100000. besides requiring
the latter commission TO return to the
Treasury $500. 900 from its last appro-
priation.
1t was charged these cuts were made
with the purpose of "hamstringing
these commissions. neither of which has
been popular with considerable ele-
ment in Congress. Their defenders al
once rallied to their support and n good
share of the legislative day was ao-
sorbed by the contest that ensued. In
the test vote the committee won In COM
mittee OF the whole its amendment for
reduction Of the trade commission APP
preparation without roll call, but by 9
close showing. Senator Norris (Neb.)
who has been one of the leaders OF the
fight against the committee, announced
that he would demand a separate vote.
As the bill was reported to the Senate
It calls for S7s4,516,74o. 1t has been
passed by the House with total OF only
s4Ss,5s6.013. Even with the grsat In
crease made by the Senate conmNtee
the bill was not much more than third
that of last year, when 1t amounted to
81. .343,7is.

Colonel House Discovered rs Tagged
by Himself.

THE Sun has expressed from time
to time some interest in the exact
whereabouts Of the place held by
Colonel EDWARD NJ. HOUSE in the
American Expeditionary Force (Po-
Ffitical and Limlted). We have not
even known just what title to give
him when referring to his amiable ac-
tivities in republican Paris and near
royalties in other parts Of Europe.
Our gratitude therefore is great to
the esteemed correspondent In central
New York who sends to this Office,
for our advice and consent, n fac
smile reproduction of letter ad-
dressed by Colonel HOUSE as recently
as May 10 to the editor of the Cornell
Era. The occasion was the semi-cen-
tennial celebration Of the institution
Mt Ithaca, the Colonel being n men,
Der of the class OF 80 Let us repro
duce the document in part for the
sake of the big black faced title which
with startling dlstinctness commands
attention at the top thereof:

PLENIPOTENTIARy
OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

PARIS, Is May. 1919.
DEAR SIR: However clear may
be the obligations which prevent my
joining the great number OF old Cor
nellians who are returning for the
semi-centennial gathering. cannot
help envyins them their opportunity
and 1 appreciate the privilege you
have held out to me Of participating
in the celebration IL only through the
poor medium Of . letter.
II am earnestly hoping. however.
that the spirit which brought Amer
lea to France will not die out with
the conclusion Of Peace. That same
spirit IL just as much needed in the
performance of the great national
and international undertakings which
America is engaged upon as ever it
was In 1917 and 1918. We have put
our hand to the plough. We cannot
turn back and the men who made
peace possible must stand by to make
It permanent.
Faithfully yours,
"E. NJ House"
Thus when the admirable Colonel
from Texas, In a natural and highly
creditsble outburst Of academic 10y.
atty, took his hand from the plough tc
pen the foregoing letter he disclosed
to THE SUN and to the Earth a fac,
which has been involved In the dark
est mystery. No American statesman
that We know of has succeeded Ia
penetrating II. 1t was left to the
Era to make matters plain.
Colonel HOUSE Is Commissioners
Plenipotentiary of the United States
of America." He has told us so him
self. AS Commissioner Plenipotenti
airy of the United States his hand Il
on the plough, ploughing deep into
the affairs of the big and little ma
tlons Of Europe. Asia and Africa, ant
also into the United States Treasury
He says We cannot turn back.
But We can at least turn back tc
the office dictionary, wherein we fine
this definition:
"pienipotsntisry, a. Fully empow-
cred; possessing or comforting full
powers: unlimited; absolute"
This raises again very interestiu,
question. Unlimited, absolute pow
ers, claimed and exercised, must hav,
been conferred. The Colonel describes
himself not merely as a commissioner
or agent plenipotentiary Of the Pres
ident of the United States, but a.
Commissioner Plenipotentiary of tn,
United States Of America.
When, where and by what consti
tutlonal provision did the good Texal
and Comedian Colonel derive his full
unlimited and absolute powers t
plough up Europe in the name of thu
United States of America?

1t is true that only under Federal
control could the deficit have been sus-
tanned; It Is not true that Federal con-

the mischief, but the causes go back
