With the passing of the old year

least.
A number Of state officers are to

the assembly. !,
The first business to be transacted
will be- the organization OF the TWO

Officially Reuiued

tinued, should not be "called upon
further to finance private business at
public expense Referring to wide
spread demand for abolishment of
war agencies and removal Of gov
errmental influence from business,
the president said he had sympathy
with this view," and added that "the
nation should resume it's usual meth
ods."
Upon reading Of the veto message
in the senate, Senator UNDERWOOD,
Alabama, Democratic leader, urged
it's immediate consideration, for
which unanimous consent was secur-
ed by Chairman Gronna Of the -agri-
culture committee, which reported
the bill. Senator Underwood follow
ed with the only address made, de-
claring that financial distress now
was greater than during the war and
that he felt confident OF wise admin
istration of the proposed law that
would cause "no undue strain on me

On the senate roll call % Demo-.
Gratis were joined by "a Republicans
in overriding the veto.
Supporting the presidents opposi-
ton were two Democrats, Senator
Gerry, Rhode Island, and Thomas,
Colorado, and three Republicans, El-
kins and Sutherland, West Virginia,
and Keyes of New Hampshire. Sena-
tors Glass, Democrat, Virginia, and
Edge, Republican, New Jersey, voted
against overriding the veto, but with
drew their votes on account OF hay:
ing pairs. Senator Penrose OF Penn.
sylvania, Republican, was paired,
but announced that he would hare

The presidents message alsa was
read in the house. Reptesent tatiye
Mondel, Wyoming, Republican lead
er. announced later that it would be
taken up tomorrow at the opening OF
the house, but without any definite
arrangements for vote. Advocates
of the bill, however, expressed conf
dence that the house also would vote
to enact the bill despite the veto.
The house passed the bill by a vote
Of 212 to 81, sor much more than the
necessary two-thirds majority. Many
of the negative votes were cast by,
Republicans.
Before the presidents message
reached the senate today Senator
Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi,
leading advocate of the legislation,
criticised Secretary Houston, deciar-
ing that the treasury head, accord
ing to newspaper reports, had advis-
ed presidential disapproval Of the bill
without indicating such opposition
when Mr.. Houston was before con-
gressional committees.
Senator Edge issued a statement
tonight, declaring. that the presidents
arguments against the bill were aab-
solutely unanswerable." By issuing
bonds the finance corporation, Sena-

House Follows Lead of Senate by
Passing Bill Over Veto of Pres
ident bus No Loans Likely
fer Time.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Ffesldenl
Wilson will have to fill at least one
of the two vacancies On the board of
directors of the revived war finance
corporation before it can make any
considerable number Of loans for fin
ancing exports with a view to af-
fording relief to the farming and 9TH
er industries. This statement was
made by treasury officials today after
the resolution directing REVIVAL CT
the corporation became law through,
it's passage by the house over the
presidents veto.
The vote. in the house to pass the
resolution ever the presidents veto
was nearly as ample as that cast yes
terday in the senate. The house stood
ESQ for the measure against G6 foE
unfolding the veto, or 81 more than
the required swa.thirds majoritylI
Seventeen Democrats voted to sus-
tain the veto while for Its passage
there were 1876 Republicans, ia
Democrats and one ProhAbitionist.
Treasury officials in further dis.
cussing adoption Of the resolution
said that while the corporation wouie
prepare to function Immediately as g
result Of the action Of congress, Pres
ident Wilson would be required to
appoint one or two new directors
before anything much could be done.
The board of directors is composed
of five members and officials explain.
ed that a majority is required by Law
to approve the application for a loan
While the present board membership
constitutes quorum, officials assert.
ed, Secretary Houston, who isf ex'
oficio chairman, would not be able
to devote his time exclusively to such
corporation matters, as the invesh-
CATION of the adequacy of securities
would require. The other two direc-
tors, Angus W. Mclean, who now j.
managing director, and George R
Cooksey, officials said, would thus be
unable to act upon applications for
loans.
Presidential nomination to The
board requires confirmation Of the
senate and the question also arises
as to whether the Republican ma
iority of the senate would depart in
such cases from the policy Of con-
firming no nominations at this ses-
sion.
Finance corporation officials stated
that in any event it probably would
be two months before the first ad-
vance could be approved.
Funds for making the loans must
be raised, officials explained, and the
methods of providing this money de-
termined upon. The corporation has
a balance of about s375,0oo,0OO
with the treasury but Secretary
Houston has taken the stand that this
money should not be used for max
ing advances to private concerns.
