A resolution requesting President
Wilson To appoint an American rep
resentative to meet with the league
OF nations commission concerning
disarmament was presented and ad-
vocated In the senate today by SEN
ator Walsh, democrat, of Montana.
Supporters of the Joint resolution

as farmer relief measure were con-
hdent Of victory when a vote on the
resolution was reached today in the
senate
After some discussion the nea sure
was referred to the foreign relations
committee. 1t was the first mention
OF the league in the senate at this
session,
Senator Walsh told the senate that
It should take cognizance of the in
vitation of the league of nations
council despite the recent American
note stating that the president did
not feel justified in even de facto
participation In the disarmament dis
cussion.
The senator said the presidents
reason was utterly inadequate" 1t
should make no difference whether
we are or are not "a member of the
league" he declared.
Senator Walsh said the almost "in-
| conceivable sum Of nearly $500, ,O0O,-
900 asked this year for the army and
navy would give grounds for an tn-
just suspicion that America had inn
perialistic designs, and added that he
would like to test the temper of both
houses of congress on the disarma-
ment proposal"
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,,
chairman Of the foreign relations
committee. asked that the resolutions
GO to that committee, and Senator
Walsh said that that was his pur-
pose.
