REPORT ON
 DISARMAMENT BIIL IN HOUSE

Washington, June 5.-By a vote Of l4 10 l, with two democrats voting present. the house foreign affairs committee re- ported today a joint resolution which would give President Harding the master hand in calling an international confer ence on disarmament
 Rejecting the same resolution it ap- proved a year ago. the committee con cured in the declared purpose" of the president to call such a conference mad sent it's new measure to the house as a virtual suggestion t- conferecs on the naval appropriation bill that it be ac- cepted as a substitute for the Borah amendment authorizing and requesting the president 10 call a naval disarma- ment conference Of Great Britain, Japan and the United States.
 It had been expected that the bill would go 10 conference today. but the motion. which will have the right of way by a special rule, was held up until to- morrow.
 Republican committeeman. with only one absentee. stcod together solidly on the resolution prepared by Chairman Por- ter. The whole question Of disarmament. both naval and military. had been placed before the committee for it's con- sideraticn.
 Taking up the Brooks resolution from the last congress, reported but never act ed on by the house. Representative Flood Virginia, ranking democrat. fought to have it adopted again. but found no re- publican support IL would authorize and request the president 10 ask all the pow CTS 10 send delegates 10 a disarmament convention. Chairman Porter. in oppos- ing it, explained that the purpose was 10 get away from any suggestion or direction by congress, and to leave the president free 10 pursue such course as he deemed best, in view of the announced intention in his inaugural address that he was ready to cooperate with other nations for disarmament.
 The house conferees will be Chairman Kelley of the subcommittee on appropria- tions in charge of the naval bill. Repre- sentatives French. Idaho. and Wood. h. diana. republicans, and Byrnes. South Carolina and Oliver. Alabama. democrats Leaders said the conferees probably would report the Porter resolution as an amendment to the Borah amendment, or as an out-and-out substitute.
