N. Y. Republican
Club Backs Senate
League Opposition
Favors Union Of Nations, but
Not in Form Set Forth in
Covenant Urged by Will
son; Resolutions Adopted

Following forceful speech by James
M: Beck, chairman Of the committee
on national affairs of the Republican
Club, the club last night, with only
one. dissenting vote, adopted the fol
lowing resolution:
The Republican Club of the City of
New York indorses the general project
OF more effective union among the
nations for the preservation of peace,
a project for which the Republican
party and this club have consistently
stood IN the past, and for that reason
lndorses the action of Republican
members of the Senate in pointing out
to the members of the peace confer
ence now sitting in Paris, in ample
time for consideration and action by
said conference, the view of such SEN
ators that in the interests of perma-
nent peace and general disarmament
the proposed constitution of the league
OF nations in the form now proposed
to the peace conference should not be
accepted by the United States, but
should be amended to meet the grave
objections which have been pointed
out on the floor of the Senate"
j. Van Vechten Olcott offered brief
addition to the resolution, which was
also approved, urging the President,
S~Se%"oS VI Vie picoSltS Heeu Oh lne
nation, to speedily convene Congress
for the disposition of the weighty mat
ters now before it.
Preceding the vote was a long de-
bate. William H. Harris offered a sub
stitute resolution calling on the dis
sentng United States Senators to
formulate their objections and criti-
clsms and send them on to the Paris
conference. Others who discussed the
topic were Alan Kenyon, Wilbur F.
Wakeman, Taylor More, ex-senator N.
A. Elsberg. A. b. Humphreys, w. Nj. K
Olcott, j. Van Vechten Olcott, ex-Rep-
resentative W. S. Bennett, Emil e.
Fuchs, John NJ. Dutton and Colonel
Henry l.. Stimson. Mr.. Beck closed the
debate. He said:
I'VE should adopt this resolution, so
that, come what may, if an attempt
is made to cram this league down the
throats Of the American people, then
let 1T be known that as Republicans
and Americans we stand by the Sen
ators who SO courageously voiced their
convictions and patriotism by voting
against the constitution iii it's present
form"
Recommendation of the committee
on nominations for officers for the en-
suing year follow:
President, Charles D. Hilles; vice
presidents, Herbert L. Satterlee, w. M.
K. Olcott, Major Henry H. Curran;
treasurer, Taylor More; recording sec

ALBANY, March 18-Major Theo-
dore Douglas Robinson, former State
Senator and one time state chairman

attack to-day on the present control of

declared there would be a state con-

conference, he said, plans will be laid
for restoring control of the party in

here on his way to New York, believ-

WASHINGTON, March 18.-In a let
ter to Governor w. P. G. Harding, of
the Federal Reserve Board, tonight,
Representative Louis T. McFadden, of
Pennsylvania. who has been leading
the fight in the House against John
Shelton Williams, points out, that with
the departure from the city of Secre-
tary of the Treasury Glass, the reserve
board can muster a quorum for i'm
counting Mr.. Williams as legal mem
ber of the board, which Mr.. McFadden
contends he is not. This is likely, Mr..
McFadden points out, to have serious
consequences. Mr.. McFaddens letter
says: '.
Il am sending you this letter so
that, as governor of the Federal Re-
serve Board, you may be formally ap-
prised of these concrete contentious:
That John Shelton Williams is not le-
gally a member of the Federal Reserve
Board, by reason of the fact that he is
no longer Comptroller of the Cur
rency; and that, by virtue of this fact
there is now a vacancy on the Federal
Reserve Board.
"Apropos Of this situation, as ! view
it, | consider it my duty respectfully
to call your attention to the fact that
your board is daily considering mat
ters of vital moment to financing gov
ernmental requirements, and it is es-
sential to the public welfare that the
validity of the boards acts should be
beyond question.
I'm this connection, ! have been in
formed that several members of your
board are or have been absent from the
NJ Ity- Of n h ,<rfo T01,
Shelton Williams's presence has been
necessary to make quorum or his vote
was necessary to decide any of these
important questions, this fact would
raise doubt as to the validity of such
acts of the board or other matters that
may come before the board for con-
sideration and final determination.
"For example, a conference of the
board with the governors of the Federal
Reserve Banks is scheduled to take
place in Washington on the Goth in
stant, at which decisions of great con-
sequence may be reached, cnd these
might lawfully be disregarded by
reason of the participation of Mr..
Williams.
"Realizing the grave Importance
from the public standpoint of this
situation, | beg you to advise me
whether or not John Shelton Williams
has been acting as a member of the
Federal Reserve Board since March s;
whether or not he has attended any
meeting or meetings of the board, and
whether or not his presence was re-
quired to make quorum, and whether
or not his vote was necessary to de-
eide any question which came before
the board for decision, and if so by
what. authority of law he was per-
mitted to sit as member of the board
since March s."

STAFF Correspondence
ALBANY, March IS.-Both houses OF
the Legislature to-day scored body
blows on Governor Smiths legislative
programme. The Assembly and Senate
by strict party vote, defeated the
bill appropriating $4,000 for Gov
ernor Smiths reconstruction commits
sion. Then the Senate killed the Gov
ernor's ripper bill, abolishing the Mar
cotic Drug Commission and transfer
ring its functions to the State Depart
ment of Health.
In the debate in the upper house
on the appropriation bill Senator John
]. Boylan, acting minority leader,
chided Senator Henry NJ. Sage, Repub-
lican, of Albany, for not living up to
his inauguration day assurances to the
Governor.
why not be on the level with your
self? ?" he asked the Albany member.
When you went down to the Executive
Chamber on Inauguration day you
said: al, we're with you; we want to
see you make good and yet you deny
the Governor this small sum-"
Senator Sage replied that he didn't
know the nature of the Governors
programme until after he had read
his message"
"a self-respecting Legislature does
not intend to give its official sanction
TO commission which, under the
terms of its formation as stated by the
Governor himself, would have the right
to do many things which now belong
to the Legislature, and everything that
belongs to everybody else in the state"
Senator Sage added
Governor Smith, when told of the
Legislature's action, said the recon-
struction commission would continue
as it has been doing, on private funds
The commission has been financed
by funds advanced by Charles H. Sa-
bin, the New York banker, and Others
The fight on the reconstruction bill
in both houses was started when the
Democratic leaders moved to dis
charge the Senate Finance and the AS
sembly Ways and Means committees
from further consideration of the
measure. IN the senate 1t was de-
feated by vote Of 25 to 18 and in
the Assembly by vote of 83 to 40.
Senator Boylan, making his fight for
the reconstruction bill, charged that
during the Whitman administration
the Republicans appropriated $3,65O,-
00G for war purposes, and that the
Democrats, without a single exception,
lined with them.

The editorial writer of the Chicago Evening
Post makes this comments
''1'he mo beer, no work movement that has
been initiated in the east and that proposes a
general strike as protest against the pro-
hibition amendment is not merely reflection
upon the intelligence of those labor unions that

if the end it seeks is the repeal Of the amend

'It is true the railroad brotherhoods used
