SENATE MAY,PASS
NAVAL HOLIDAY BILL
President-Elect Not Opposed to
BOrah Suggestion for
Conference.

Washington. ID. G., Feb. "a.
Word has been received here that
President-elect Harding is not opposed
to the passage of the resolution of SEN
ator Borah (Idaho) authorizing the
President to invite Great Britain and
Japan to join with the United States in
a discussion of programme for n naval
holiday It is understood that informa-
ton to that effect has been received by
Lodge (Mass.) and that the resolution
may be called up and passed before adj
journment
The disarmament resolution was up
for brief discussion in the Senate to-
day and probably would have been
passed had not Senator Borah asked for
a roll call. Few Senators were present
at the time and the resolution had been
reached in routine consideration of
measures on the unanimous consent
calendar.
The Borah resolution was brought up,
read for the third time, no amendments
offered, and the chair was about to call
for the final vote and passage when
Senator Borah. asked for a roll call
That attracted the attention of other
Senators and Immediately led to debate
and the proposal of amendments by
Senator Walsh (Mont.).
In the ensuing discussion, which under
the order of business, permitted each
Senator TO speak only. five minutes, 1t
became apparent that "a great deal OF
- IL
not stopped. Senator Smoot (Utah)
raised objection and the resolution went
over. Senator Walsh proposed an amend
ment in the form Of his resolution. which
recommends that the President send an
American representative to the disarma-
ment discussions before the League of
Nations commission on disarmament.
Senator Walsh argued that naval dis
armament was not enough and that both
land and naval disarmament ought to be
encouraged. which he insisted would be
done by the acceptance of his amend
ment
Senator Borah refused to accept This
view and opposed the Walsh amendment
Senator Robinson (Ark.) supported
the Walsh amendment and launched into
what promised to be renewed discussion
of the old League of Nations.
This resolution in the form that It
comes 70 the Senate" he said, 'is a
substitute and subterfuge for the pro-
posa which this Senate rejected last
year. The Senator from Idaho is re-
sponsible directly for the failure of the
United States to be party to the very
body which is now discussing what he
says he wants--disarmam
Before he could complete his state
ment he was reminded by the chair that
his time was up Senator Smoot then
made his objection to further discussion
and the Senate turned to other matters.
Senator Borah gave notice that he will
ask suspension OF the Senate rules so
that his disarmament amendment to the
naval bill may be in order for discussion
and q vote

PLEA FOR CLEMENCEAU
TO VISIT UNITED STATES
Paris Paper Says He Could
Make America Keep Faith.

Special Cable to THE New YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921. by THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Feb. "a.
Rumors that French Government off,
clals, anxious to facilitate the return of
Georges Clemenceau, former Premier.
from his hunting trip, have sent ship
TO Colombo so as TO bring him to Mar
seilles with all possible speed. were fol-
lowed to-day by an editorial in the
IntransiJednt wherein a plea is made
that NJ. Clemenceau be sent to the United
States on a special propaganda tour In
the hopes that he can divert the Repub-
lican Administration from it's intentions
to disinterest itself from Europe's af-
fairs, but TO conserve all the profits
which the Versailles treaty would have
given America
"Clemenceau is popular over there"
the editorial states. His prestige has
been somewhat ta.nshed here by politi-
cal polemics. but II cannot be denied that
as an exterior servant of France he will
forget political rivalries and become
again the great Frenchman of 1918. He
would be the apostle of our national
cause and the propaganda he would
carry on would make America realize
that she must remain faithful to us and
not reject her magnificent share In the
victory"

that the Interstate Commerce Com

here tonight
This is the first time the trafSc

rates, tho announcement said And
the conclusion OF the Board OF Gov

consider the problem on the basis Of;
mere letters Of protest from shippers
ana carriers. but shD;.lI exercise it's
powers under the laS to institute
formal proceedings of investigation

C!al consideration OF the question
than has taken place so far"
The traffic league has written the
commission, the statement continued
that whereas the President OF the
United states. cabinet officials aud
members OF Congress are urging that
reduced rates be established as soon
as possible. yet the |. c. c. has put
Itself In Il position where II is being
criticized to some extent for its fail
ur" to as ist the administration and
because of it's handling OF the prob
lem on purely informal basis.
The traffic league asserts that II
the |. e. {. should exercise its powers
under the law by inStituting Il formal
Investigation. much futile clamor for
reduced rates would cease aud that
on the other hand. those whose claims
for reduced rates are based upon
facts and merit would be able To pre-
s.nt their arguments IN an orderly
way and receive from the commits
Sion Il decision that is controlling"
The board OF governors or the
league offer their services 10 aid IN
