! Leaders hope to get it into Pres
ident Harding's hands this week
virtually in the form in which it
was vetoed by former President
Wilson last March.
Permanent tariff revision is ex-
pected to follow the emergency
bill i'll the house.
The senate calendar is headed
iby the $25,0OO,OOO Colombian
treaty, with an agreement to vote
in eight days. Ratification is be-
ing predicted, although there is
vigorous opposition from large
faction of Republicans, who plan
after tomorrow to open the doors
for debate. 1t is expected that
President Harding's special mes
sage to the senate in extra session
last month will then be made pub
lie.
Immediate action is also plan
ned by the senate on many nomi-
nations. A long list, including re-
cess appointments, is expected to-
morrow from the White House.
Two of the annual appropria-
ton bills needed July 1.-THE army
and navy budgets-are to be
pressed through early in the SEES
sion. The army measure, carry
ing $346,000,000, suffered "pock-
ct veto" by former President Will
son last March, while the navy
bill, in which the house appropri-
ated $395,0O0,OOO and the senate
naval committee $496,O00,OO0 fail
ed i'll the senate fight over disar-
mament.
International relations promise
to play large but probably de
layed part in the new congress. OF
first consideration is the ending Of
the war status with Germany and
Austria. Restoration Of trade
with Russia, Japanese questions
and probably Panama canal tolls
were other big subjects in the
ofing.
In addition to the program of
tariff and tax revision, the Re
publican leadership promised has
ty action to curtail immigration.
The measure vetoed by former
President Wilson was scheduled
for early passage, possibly first in
the senate while the house is en-
gagged with fiscal reform.
