WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-The sen ate late today passed the agricultural commission resolution directing the re- vival of the war finance corporation as a measure for affording relief to farmers.
 The second section of the resolution, which as introduced would have di- rected the extension of liberal credits to farmers by the federal reserve sys- tenn was amended to make the de- siTability of such a course only an expression of opinion of the congress.
 The amendment making the change in the selection of the resolution re- lating to the federal reserve system was proposed by Senator Norris, Re Cepted by vote of 4 to 16.
 Another change made in the resoIu- tion on suggestion of Senator Smith, Democrat. of Georgia, broadened the duties of the finance corporation to in clude the financing of eXportation of products other than those produced on the farm. Amendments submitted by Senator Harris. Democrat, of Georgia, to make the rate of discount on loans to farmers 8 per cent and by Senator McKellar Democrat, of Tennessee, to make cotton factors paper eligible for discount. were rejected by overwhelm- ing votes. A substitute for the resO- hutton presented by Senator Spencer, Republican, of Missouri met a similar fate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-Repeal of the war time laws was voted today by the house which adopted the Volstead resolution for that purpose after two hours of debate.
 The vote was unanimous, BPS votes being cast in favor of it. The house, before taking the final vote, accepted an amendment providing for inclusion of the Lever food control act among the laws which the resolution would repeal.
 The amendment which covers all the provisions of the food control act with the exception of the section relating to rents in the District of Columbia, was offered by Representative Bland, Republican, of Indiana It was car ried, 179 to 137.
 The resolution which now goes to the senate exempts from repeal only the trading with the enemy act. the war finance corporation act and its amendments and measures dealing with the issuance of Liberty and Victory bonds.
 The resolution declares "any act of congress that by it's terms is in force only during the existence of a state of war and a limited time thereafter shall be constructed and administered as if the present war terminated on the date when this resolution becomes effective"
 The measure as adopted is practical ly identical with that passed by con- gross just before the adjournment of the last session and vetoed by Presi- dent Wilson

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-Concern of congressional leaders as to ability of the treasury to meet the $7,500, 100000 of war debts maturing within the next two and a half years was indicated by Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee today both in the house and at the opening of hearings by the committee on revision of rev' enue legislation.
 The ways and means committee chairman frankly expressed doubt as to whether the estimate of a four billion annual tax levy would be sufficient to meet the requirements of the govern ment over the period of maturing treasury certificates and Victory notes As a solution he advocated refunding into long term Londs of the certificates now aggregating $2,350,0O0, as well as of the first issue of the war savings stamps and the Victory note issue.
 Adoption of such a solution, MT. Fordney declared, probably would en- able a reduction of taxes below Secre- tary Houston's estimate of four billion dollars. It also, he said, would permit a tax levy for several years sufficient only to cover current fiscal needs of the government and interest on the public debt and sinking fund opera tion.

Daniels Building Program Endorsed
 by General Board
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIreI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-Proposing a new three-year building program of sS ships, the general board of the navy in its annual report made public to- night, reiterated its recommendation that the American navy be made equal of that of any other nation.
 No other nation can in reason take exception to such a position" the board said. Tn assuming it, the United States threaten no other nation by the mere act of placing itself on an equal ity with the strongest It is an act of self defense which all will acknowl- edge as an inherent right and cannot justly be construed as a challenge. On the contrary. the pursuance of such T policy of equal naval armaments may we'll tend to diminish their growth and would certainly work to lessen the danger of sudden war.
 A nation with far reaching and sometimes conflicting international in- terests must always be prepared to de- fend it's rights. Nayies are peculiar in that if neglected they lose eff cieney with startling rapidity. It is fallacious to argue that we can wait 9 few years and then with our money and our constructive genius raise ours quickly to 8 power commensurate witt out national needs. It cannot be done Navies are not built in a day; 1t is 2 matter of years, even of generations" 1 While making no recommendations l for new construction this year. Secre- tary Daniels in his annual report made public yesterday stid he would approve | the general boards recommendations
 unless the United States became 2 member of the league of nations O, some similar association of nations.
 In view of the Economic situation, the ! board said constructoin should be. con 1 fined to types that would add only t6 | the combatant strength of the fleets
 adding that auxiliaries might be estab- ished through the conversion of mer. chant vessels in time of emergency.
 In recommending the laying down O
 a battleship in each of the fiscal year 1922, 1923, and 1924 the board asserted that nothing nat occurred during tn world war has served to change tn, opinion of the general board as to tn vital importance in war of the battle

 One battle cruiser and 30 ligh
 cruisers also were proposed. The lat ter, said the board, should be of 1000 tons with high speed, long cruisinl radius and comparatively heavy arma

LONDON, Dec. 13-As a result of di- rect charges that the crown forces were various atrocities in Ire land, the lord mayor of Cork, with his Irish commoners Roche and J. J. Walsh, will be summoned before the military board Investigating the fires in Cork Saturday night. The charges, brought before the house of commons tonight by Commander J. M. Kenworthy, de- manded that an impartial tribunal be set up to give an unprejudiced report of what happened. Commander Ken worthy said his information came in a message from the lord mayor and Messrs. Roche and Walsh.
 The message was not read by Com mander Kenworthy, but when Sir Ha- mar Greenwood, chief secretary for Ireland, rose to defend the govern ment's position, he requested the mes sage from Kenworthy. which the sec retary read to the house. It charged that women were held up and robbed in the streets and that citizens were publicly whipped and shot and it was believed, in some instances, burned alive in their houses"
 The secretary said he would wire the military authorities at Cork tonight tc summon the authors Of the message before them. An inquiry had been started today which would be com pleted tomorrow.

WORLD COURT OF JUSTICE STATUE
 |S ACCEPTED BY
 LEAGUE MEMBERS
First Important Constructive Work Of Assembly Lacks Obligatory Provision To Enforce Edicts
TRepubIIean A. p. Leased WIreI

GENEVA Dec 13.-The assembly accomplished today the first impor- tant constructive act in the work Of the league of nations, in adopting a statue for a permanent international court of justice The organization as planned still lacks the obligatory ap- Eearance of both parties to a dispute and provides no penalty for non compliance with the decisions of the court.
 The advocates of the project, how ever, believe that it is the most com plete plan that could be accepted by the different governments and are confident that the good will of the na- tions will remedy it's defects. The plan will go now to the different states Tor ratification.
 If twenty two or a majority of the league approve 1t before the next meeting of the assembly, the judges will be elected and the court will come into existence in September.
 Adoption of the plan came after an oratorlcal duel with Latin America on one side and Europe on the other. over the question as to whether the Jurisdiction of the international court ought to be obligatory or voluntary. Raoul Fernandez, Brazil; Dr. Carlos Urueta. Colombia: Harmodio Arias, Panama; Ariztides Agueros, Cuba; Senor Blanco Uruguay. and Senor Aramayo, Bolivia, insisted with great force upon the necessity of obligatory Jurisdiction to make the court really effective.
 Some of the speakers made refer ence to the small majority in the com mittee, which had forced a large min- ority to bend to its will. It was also declared that the big powers had used their greater influence to defeat the most important features of the mea- sure. The greater number of the 15 speakers were skeptical as to the value of optional Jurisdiction as provided for in the project.
 Leon Bourgeois, France; A. J. Bal four, England; Dr. George F.. Haze rup, Norway. and Giuseppe Motta, Switzerland. defended the plan as the best that could be set up for be- ginning. MT. Balfour also made a defense of Europe against what he termed "a united attack"
 No country. he said had been more strongly in favor of arbitration thar Great Britain. He argued that t was necessary to make a beginnin~. The whole project might be rendered in operative if that beginning were no made with due regard for certain realities.
 Though the debate could not chang the viewpoint of the majority, served to relieve the feelings of tn delegates which had reached a higl pitch fin the discussion in committee

Started Last June

Injunction proceedings were brought by MT. Dunbar about the mid dle of June last against Graves. Blanchett, Thornburg & company, purchasers of the bonds, The Central Trust company of Chicago and the board of supervisors of Maricops county. The bill asked that the bond dealers be restrained from delivering any more money on these bonds to the board of supervisors; that the Central Trust company. where the bonds were in escrow. be restrained from the delivery of other bonds Of that issue. and that the board Of supervisors be restrained from the payment of any of the proceeds of the bonds then in their control on the Twohy Bros. contract. The bill fur ther alleged that. for various reasons. the contract with Twohy Bros. was invalid
 Hearings on the temporary injunc- tion proceeding was conducted by Judge Rush in federal court in Chi cago on June 80. Judge Rush denied the injunction on the ground that his court was without Jurisdiction. Notice of an appeal to the United States supreme court immediately was filed ] by attorneys for the plaintiff. As result of the appeal, delivery of the S3.000,000 worth of bonds to | the purchasers was impossible. All undelivered bonds Of the s4 D00. GOO is sue. voted by taxpayers of Maricopa county some months previous. could not be disposed of to the purchasers until such time as the supreme court Of the United States handed down a decision. Then. if the decision held 1 that the Chicago federal court did have jurisdiction. trial of the action would be necessary. A period of two or three years easily could be con- l sumed before these various steps 1 would be completed
 Follows Action of Meeting Decision Of the plaintiff to with draw the action came as a result of 1 an expression from a so-called | Citizens Defense League" meeting Saturday night. MT. Dunbar pre- viously had informed "delegates'' to the meeting that he would direct dis missal of the action if the meeting expressed itself favorable to such pro- cedure.
 Withdrawal of the suit within the next few days, possibly before the end or the present week, Is a possibility. Mir. Struckmeyer will not necessarily be obliged to go to Chicago to carry out MT. Dunbars instruction Al the first hearing on the application for a temporary injunction. MT Struckmeyer was assisted by attor- neys for the Barber Asphalt company which concern is thought to have been directly or indirectly responsible for the filing of, the suit It, therefore will be possible for Mir. Struckmever to notify his associate counsel to withdraw the suit, in this manner ex- pedfting the action.

 NOTES IN FOUR BILLION BUDGET

He added, however, that the treasury estimates for taxation could stand no reduction if the program were to be carried through and the maturing obli- gations met.
 Politicians entered into the Ciscus- sions of the methods to be used in pay ing off the war debt when the commit tee reached the subject later in the day Representative Garner, Democrat of Texas, vigorously opposed the Fordney suggestion, saying it meant that the government was breaking faith with the people whom it had assured that it would take up the floating debt to make the Liberty bonds retain their proper level of market value"
 To float another loan, Mir. Garner asserted, would materially weaken the quotation of the Liberty bond prices.
 When we passed those loan bills and tax measures, we told the people certain things MT. Garner continued. assurances. It would be breaking faith
