COMMITTEE HOLDS
UP FOREIGN LOANS
Houston Ordered to Shut Down Un-
til Further Information Is
Given.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Secretary
Houston was notified formally today
by the Senate Judiciary Committee
chat he Should pay out no more
money on account of any commit
ments of loans to foreign countries
until the facts have been submitted
to this committee and it has had an
opportunity to consider the same and
report to the senate"
The committee action was by un-
animous vote and was taken on mo-
tion of Senator Reed, Democrat, Mis-
souri,, author of pending resolution
to stop all advances by the treasury
TO the allied governments. Decision
to take immediate and direct action
was made by the committee after
Senator Brandegee, Republican,
Connecticut, had informed it that
Mr. Houston recently had told the
foreign relations committee that he
felt in honor bound to make addi-
tlonal advances to the governments
for which credits had been establish
ed if those governments asked for
the money.
Senators Reed and Brandegee said
S37,00O,0OO additional could be ad-
vanced to foreign governments and
Senator Reed declared the Secretary
should be prevented from making any
advances while the committee was
considering legislation to stop all
further loans.
Examination of Secretary Houston
on this question, scheduled for today,
was postponed until tomorrow as the
secretary advised the committee that
the papers in the files of the treasury
lad not yet been assembled. He
promised to appear tomorrow and
bring all documents referring to loan
with foreign govern
ments.

INDUSTRY RUNS
BELOW CAPACITY
Continuous Improvement Needed,
Declares Hoover-Speaks at
Syracuse Convention.

Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 15-Continu-
Gus improvement in productivity is
necessary for the advancement of
civilization, national progress, better
human relations and higher stand
ards of living, Herbert Hoover de-
clared in an address here today be-
fore the convention of the American
Engineering council.
American industry, including agri-
culture, he said, is at present run
ming from 80 to 40 per cent. below
capacity prd dduction. Cooperation be-
tween industries and with labor and
government was cited as a means for
guaranteeing an increase which
would be certain even if it is slow
The danger of oversupply as linn
iting factor in production was dis
missed as without proper founda-
tion. The speaker added there is no
such thing as overproduction.
"The commodities of services pro-
duced blythe whole nations," he con-
tinued, ARE capable of absorption by
the whole nation if they are of the
right character. When ten meh or
10O,OOO,O0O men divide their united
output, they can by doubling theG
output have twice the amount to- di-
vide. There is no limit to the in
crease of living standards except the
limitations of human strain, scienti-
fic discovery, mechanical invention
and natural resources.
The absorption of increased pro-
ductivity lies in the conversion of
luxuries of today into necessities Of
tomorrow. Wheat bread, railways,
good roads, electricity, telephones,
automobiles and movies were once
luxuries. There is no limit to con-
sumption except the total capacity
to produce, provided the surplus Of
productive power is constantly shift
ed to new articles from those that
have reached the saturation point of
demand"
The speaker said that wastes in
American production were measured
mainly in unemployment, lost time
due to, labor conflict, losses in labor
turnover, failure to obtain maximum
production of the individual, poor cor
ordination of great industries and
failures in transportation, coal and
power supplies.
Sterilization and standardization
of industrial output by agreement,
eliminating overlapping efforts and
seasonal activities were cited as one
means for bringing greater produc-
ton.

WILSON TO VETO
TARIFF MEASURE
Underwood Has Assurance From
White House-May Be
Senate Vote


ments, centering around tariff legis-
lation, came fast in congress today:
They included:
Declaration by Minority Leader
Underwood in the senate that he
had received assurance that Presi-
dent Wilson would veto the Fordney
emergency tariff bill, not by a
mere withholding of his signature
but with a comprehensive statement
giving his reasons coupled with fl
nal attack on Republican congress
sional policies.
Announcement by Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, of North Da-
kota that a vote on the Fordney bill
probably would be obtained tomor-
row night.
Statement by Chairman Fordney
of the house ways and means COM
mittee making definite the intention
of Republican leaders to press legis-
lation revision the permanent tariff
through the extra session before at
tempting consideration of taxation.
The Fordney bill was/pulled out
of its pigeonhole for several hours
of debate late. in the day. Nothing
came of it, however, although it
had been expected that vote
would be had on the amendment of
Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah
changing the import rates on sugar
from those accepted by the senate
finance committee.
Senator Underwood was reticent
about his assurance of a presiden-
tial veto.
The statement of the minority
leader, however, was the cause of
speculation among senators on both
sides of the tariff question. 1t was
generally accepted that as a result
of the White House attitude the
Democrats were more than willing
to let the measure go to a vote
where all senator's records could be
proved. At any rate the session to-
day gave no evidence of the parlia-
mentary jockeying and delay which
characterized the earlier debates on
tariff.
Plans of the Republican leaders
concerning revision of the perma-
nent tariff were made public in the
form of a letter by Mr.. Fordney to
Representative Frear, Republican,
of Wisconsin. Any program, Mr..
Fordney said, which did not con-
template immediate action on re-
vision of the Underwood tariff act,
would not be in accordance with the
Overwhelming expression of the
people in the November election"
The house ways and means COM
mittee, its chairman indicated, will
launch into the work of framing the
new tariff law Immediately after
the hearings, now in process, are
concluded, probably within the next
few days. The bill then will be made
ready for introduction and consid-
Grafton in the house in the early
days of the extra session.

HOUSE AUTHORIZES
THE APPROPRIATION
Bill As Approved Carries Approx.
mately Three Hundred and
Ninety-five Million Dollars

Washington, Feb. 15.-The naval
appropriation bill carrying approx
mately $395,OOO,OOO was passed to-
day by the house after it had de-
cisively voted down an amendment
which would have prevented the ex-
penditute of any part of the $780,
100000 provided for battleship con-
struction until an international dis
armament conference shall have
been called by the president. The
amendment offered by Representa-
tive Brooks, Republican, Illinois,
was defeated 124 10 80.
The house also refused to cut the
amount that would be available for
work on the navy's building pro-
gram during the coming fiscal year
to $50,OOO,OO0 a proposed by> Rep
resentative Dickinson, Republican,
Iowa, and by a vote of 282 to 9 de-
feated a motion by Representative
Blanton, Democrat, Texas to recon-
nit the bill for the purpose of cut
ting the appropriation for construc-
ton work to $7,OOO,OOO and of ELI
minating a section which prevents
the use of stop watches in navy
yards and arsenals.
The measure as it goes to the SEN
ate, however, carries an amend
ment offered by Representative
Oliver, Democrat, Alabama, that no
part of the $9O,OOO,OOO carried for
new craft shall be used on ships on
which construction was not started
or for which contracts have not been
let. Chairman Kelley of the sub
committee that framed the bill
agreed 10 this limitation, saying it
would mean that work could not be
started before July L. 1922, on IL
destroyers, six fleet submarines and
one transport, authorized in 1916,
but not yet placed under contract.
Although somewhat riddled by
points of order that had been made
against a number Of sections the bill
as far as it's main features were
concerned was approved by the
house practically as it was reported
by the appropriations committee.
Reduction of the enlisted personnel
of the marine corps from approx
mately $4,000, to 10000 men was
agreed to today without comment as
was the decrease in the enlisted
strength of the navy from 143,0OO
to 100000 men.
The Brooks amendment provided
that all nations would have to be in
vited to disarmament convention
to be held in the United States be-
fore work ON the navy's building
program could proceed after July 1:
Opposition to the proposal instantly
arose, and for two hours it was de-
bated. Most of the members who
spoke attacked the amendment, ma
jority of them contending that it
would be unwise for congress to tie
the hands of the incoming president
in such a manner.
Republican leaders asserted they
strongly favored an early interna-
tional convention on disarmament
and the prediction was freely made
that President-elect Harding would
do his umost to bring about such a
conference soon after his Inaugural
tion. It also was argued that it
would be a mistake to put the con-
struction program of the navy in
peril by taking a step which might
require suspension of building oper-
ations for a time.
