NATIONAL. LEGISLATION

The continued fight over the ratifica-
tion of the treaty of Versailles, with
the League Of Nations covenant, re-
sulting in rejection of. the treaty for
the second time. occupied the atten-
ton of the United States senate during
the early months Of 1920 and monop-
olized the attention of the public, so
far as congressional action was con-
cerned. The Cummins-Esch bill, I'M
der which the railroads of the country
operated after their return to private
control, and the army reorganization
bill were the principal pieces of legis-
lation enacted before TIE first regular
session of the :Sixty-sixth congress
ended June 5.
On January 10, the mouse, by vote
of 328 to 6, for the second time re-
fused to seat Victor Berger, Socialist,

ing the war.
The Water Power Development bill,
which had long been pending in con-
gress, was passed by the senate Janu-

Ing bill, was ended when the confer
ence report was adopted by the house
on February 10 and the. senate two

Lodge reservations were again adopt
ed, with some amendments. The

vote on March 10, and Cor the second
time failed to secure the requisite two
thirds majority, the vote being 40 to
30. The following day the rejected
treaty was sent back to the President.
With no prospect of the early adCp-
ton of the treaty, resolutions declar.
ing the war at an end were introduced
in both the house and the senate. Both
houses adopted the Knox senate res
olution. President Wilson vetoed this
resolution, however, on May 81
A few days earlier on May "a. Pres
ident Wilson asked the senate for au-
thority to accept the mandate for
Armenia that had been offered by the
supreme council. On June 1 the SEN

President the authority requested.
