COLBY ANSWERS
JOHNSON'S ATTACK
Declares Senator's Views on
Japanese Issue Based on
"Erroneous Assumption"

Replying to the attack of Senator
Johnson Of California upon the pro-
posed agreement between the United
States and Japan as to the status Of
japanese in this country, Secretary
Colby of the State Department last
night issued a statement declaring
that Senator Johnson had proceeded
upon an erroneous assumption in
making the attack.
The plan for an agreement between
the nations is now before the two
governments and was said by Senator
Johnson to mean in the end "a con-
tinuance of japanese immigration and
increase in the Japanese population
in the west"
Secretary Colby's Reply.
Secretary Colby's statement follows:
MY attention has been called this
afternoon to a statement issued by
Senator Hiram Johnson of California
to the press which proceeds upon
quite erroneous assumption as to the
trend and purport of the conversations
which have been going on for some
weeks between Ambassador Morris
and the japanese ambassador relative
to the so-called California-Japanese
situation.
THE senator is not uniformed as
to the course these conversations
have taken, and l am therefore sur
prised that he should feel called upon
to throw himself, into defensive
posture against dangers which he
describes. but which 1 am informed
he has been assured do not present
themselves.
Senator Need Not Worry.
1.-The State Department is charged
with the duty Of pursuing these i'm
portant discussions with sober regard
to the facts, and this it has sought
to do with a proper consideration for
every interested point of view. ] am
not speaking in any spirit Of criti-
cism of Senator johnson, with whom /
have long had the most agreeable and
friendly relations but he must know,
as a member Of the foreign relations
committee of the Senate, that, even
if the fear to which he gives express
SIGN, that the State Department is
moving too rapidly in the direction
Of a treaty. a treaty can have no
effect without its submission in due
course to the Senate, and, under the
latters practice, its minute examina-
ton by the senator's committee"

TARIFF BILL LIKELY

Fordney Measure in Bad
Shape at Adjournment.
CIoture Considered.
VOTE CONSENT SOUGHT
Neither Method Is Expected to OBJ

The Fordney emergency tariff bill was
IN Ill shape when the Senate adjourned
last night. 1t is highly probable that
the measure will be laid aside early
tins week, perhaps tomorrow. and the
right OF way given to the appropria-
tion bills now awaiting action.
A conference of republican leaders
late yesterday resulted in an agree
ment to seek again consent for 4

Agreement L. Unlikely.
1t is not regarded as probable that
any agreement to vote on the bill
will be obtained, or that the cloture
proposal can obtain the necessary
two-thirds vote to make 1t effective.
If the tariff bill is laid aside for
other pressing legislation 1T will like
ly not be revived. certainly not with
any degree Of success.
While no date for a vote was set
by the republicans. it is likely that
Senator Penrose will ask that the
vote be taken February Is.
Passage Mny Be Impossible.
If the cloture petition is voted down
Wednesday the republican managers
said that it would be demonstrated
that passage of the bill would be i'm!
possible. With this situation 1t was
said that the republican leaders
would have exhausted every possible
effort to pass the bill and would be
prepared to charge it's defeat to the
democratic opponents and be ready
to lay aside the measure and proceed
with the appropriation bills.
The conference of the republican
leaders proceeded in Senator Pen
roses office. while desnltory debate
continued on the Senate floor. At
tending the conference were all re-
publican members of the finance COM
mittee, who called in Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts,, the republican floor
leader.

Democratic leaders said last night
the bill could be brought to a vote II
there were real republican de-
sire for such a course. The demo-
cratic spokesman are expected TO
challenge the sincerity of the repub-
lican efforts in support of the Dill
and to contend that sufficient time
had not elapsed before seeking Hot-
ing date nor for resort to cloture.
Most of the time Of debate yester-
day was occupied by Senator Thomas
of Colorado, a democratic member OF
the finance committee. who opposed
the bill. He declared it would not
aid those for whom it was designed
and would impair American COM
merce, bringing retaliatory measures
from Canada and other nations.

speaking at the Tippecanoe Clubs annu-
al Mckinley day dinner here tonight,
after eulogizing the martyr President.
emphatically declared that President
elect Harding would make his decisions
independent Of the "so-called senatorial

Senator Willis told the 700 guests he
favored return to the Mckinley tariff
and economic standards which just over
a year ago tonight President-elect Hard

Senator Willis, who succeeded Presi-
dent-elect Harding as senator from Ohio,
said the incoming President intended to
be his own sponsor in the Presidents
chair, and thta the "bogy of the Senate
oligarchy" was the non-existent Pigment
of fevered political brain.
Warren G. Harding will be President
himself" Senator Willis said, in conclu-
sion. Il assure you of that. No indi-
vidual or clique or faction will control
him.
His countrymen need not fear that he
will be overpowered by that misty, evan
escent thing. the so-called senatorial
oligarchy.

great republic, never intended to be
dominated by one-man power, War

will consult, he will welcome helpful
information from every source. wheth-
er from the blacksmith or the banker.
But, having heard all and considered
all. the decision will be his
Referring to American business con-
ditions, Senator Willis said:
1--WE will not be upon sound basis
until we rewrite a tariff law on the
principles of protection. The protec-
tive-tariH ideas of William Mckinley,
which brought prosperity to the coun-
try in the late '90's. if sanely applied,
will prevent industrial disaster in the
months ahead"
Gov. Harry L. Davis, one of the in
vited guests, was detained in Column

Senate Adopts Amendment to Alien
Property Act.

At the instance of Senator Knox,
republican. Pennsylvania, the Senate.
stopped wrangling over emergency
tariff proposals long enough yester-
day to adopt an amendment to the
alien property act so that the wife of
Count Won Bernstorff can't get her
valuables back from the alien prop
erty custodian, while the property Of
daughters of Henry White, American
commissioner to the peace conference,
is held.
Senator Knox thus described the
situation, saying that under the act an
American-born woman married to an
enemy alien prior to the war could
retain her property. while a daughter
of American parents. born abroad and
married to an enemy alien, was called
an enemy alien herself.

What Congress Is Doing
The Senate.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

With only twenty-eight legisla-
tive days left of the present ses-
sion of Congress, and appropria-
tons for the government running
up to more than $3,00O,OOO,000
still to be considered, the Senate
this week is expected to get down
to business and speed up. The
Fordney emergency tarin bill,
which held sway in the Senate
during the last week, has had Its
day. Efforts are to be made to-
morrow by its republican sup
porters to revive it, but there
seems no chance for its passage.
There is vast amount of i'm
portant legislation, in addition to
the appropriation bills. lowering
in the offing. But, unless there
is unanimity Of action in the Sem
ate on any bill, it does not appear
possible for any legislation other
than the appropriation bills to
pass before March 4.
For instance. the Calder bill for
government regulation of the coal
industry in certain particulars is
expected to be reported favorably
from the Senate committee on
manufactures this week. The
measure will have strong support
stronger support, probably, than
that accorded to the Kenyon bill
for the regulation of the meat
packers, which was passed last
week by a margin of thirteen
votes But if opponents of the
Calder bill undertake to debate
the measure extensively, like the
tariff bill, it will have to be laid
aside.
The immigration committee, too,
is expected to bring in a bill to
limit immigration into the United
States. Such a measure will have
almost unanimous approval, it is
believed, and may have a chance
of becoming a law. The House
bill, now before the Senate COM
mittee, provides for suspension Of
immigration for a year. 1t is not
considered likely that the Senate
will go that far. But it may fix
limit to the number of immi-
grants to be admitted during the
next year, SO that the flood of i'm
migrants feared by many will not
be able to materialize.
Senator Hiram johnson of Cali
fornia is insistent that something
be done with the Johnson-Nolan
minimum wage bill for govern
ment employees. So far his efforts
have been blocked by Senator
Hoke Smith Of Georgia, Senator
Dial of South Carolina and other
opponents Of the measure. 1t is
expected the California senator
will move tomorrow to take up the
bill.
Tuesday the naval affairs COM
mittee is to meet to consider the
resolution offered by Senator Borah
of Idaho and adopted by the Sen
ate calling upon the committee to
advise the Senate as to the wisdom
of a six months suspension of the
naval building program of the
United States. so that it may be
determined by the experts what
constitutes the most efficient kind
of navy in view of, the lessons of
the great war.
The District appropriation bill
will be considered in conference
this week between the representa-
tives Of the Senate and House, and
it is likely that the conferees ON the
Jones-Mapes bill dealing with the
fiscal relations Of the District and the
federal government will attempt to
reach an agreement The Senate
District committee is expected to
consider the Curtis-Gard child labor
bill at meeting tomorrow.
