War Time Passport Is Rejected by House

TN SPITE Of an appeal by Repub-
i lican Leader Mondell, the house re-
jected the conference report on the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill because of its provisions making
permanent wartime passport restric-
lions. The vote on the approval of the
conference report was 90 to 1872. The
bill was sent back to conference.
Representatives SABBATH of Illinois,
Siegel of New York and ConnalIy of
Texas were among those who fought
the adoption Of the report. Minority
Leader Champ Clark voted against it.
The rejected measure made perma-
nent the wartime requirement that
no alien could enter the United States
without a passport from his own coun-
try vised by an American consul. 1t
also made 1t necessary for American
citizens to obtain passports when leav-
ing the United States for other than
adjacent countries.
Former Republican Leader Mann of
Illinois was especially emphatic In
opposition. He said in part:
"Think what it means! Here is a
proposition which would prevent an
Irishman fleeing from Ireland, from
entering the United States-which
would prevent some man from Gen.

Ira Nelson Morris Tells of Inner
Phase of Post War
Commerce.
ARE GREATLY OvERSTOCKED
Ship Goods Back to United States,
Add Double Cost of Transpor-
tation and Make Hand
some Profit.

New York.-Ira Nelson Morris, Unit
ed States minister to Sweden, who has
returned to the United States for a
vacation, is authority for information
concerning an odd phase of postwar
commerce between this and European
countries, and bearing on the high cost
of necessities here. He pointed out
that after the armistice Denmark had
imported from America in such tremen-
dous volume that the country became
greatly overstocked.
Until within the last three or four
months" Mr.. Morris said. Denmark
vas shipping back TO the United States
the very goods that had been sent from
here to Copenhagen and reselling them
In America at a profit after having
added twice the cost of transatlantic
carriage over the original costs.
Lower Freights to Westward.
zone reason why it has been profit
able to reship to the United States the
surplus stores of goods and materials,
such as cotton originally received from
this country, is that ships arriving In
Europe laden with American goods
would have had to return with empty
holds. The fact that Europe had not
enough else to export to America to
fill outgoing bottoms caused a reduc-
ton In the freight rates to the west.
Danish merchants thus engaged reaped
a harvest even with the rate Of ex-
change against them.
Copenhagen, the ambassador said,
is ambitious to become the great port
of entry for Europe, and to that end
Is seeking to handle permanently the
tonnage that used to go through Brem-
en- and Hamburg. A vast amount of
that business is now done in the Dan

IN Thomas of Colorado In a
speech in the senate he said in part:
This brings me to a proposition
that I have iterated and reiterated

everything that enters into our mod
ern economic life shall have passed
the prewar standard accompanied by
the practice of old-fashioned thrift and
economy which our parents used to
practice, we may stand upon the floor
of the senate and denounce the profit
