CONGRESS MFFTS
 IN SPECIAL. SESSION
NEW NATIONAL ApMlNlsTRA TON IS NOW IN FULL
 SWAY.

WashingtsH. The new Renubli. can administration was under full headWay, when the Sixty-seventh American Congress convened at aoon for the extraordinary session called a lew weeks ago By President Harding. The program is expected to limited to the usual opening formalities, includ- ing the adoption of resolutions pro- Viding for joint session the second day 10 hear the presidents address and to organize for work.
 Committees also were appointed to notify the president Of the assembling of Congress.
 Domestic needs. including tariff and tax revision, are expected to be emphasized by President Harding, but he also is said to be planning con. siderable discussion of international questions. Republicans prominent in Congress received reports that he will state with considerable defniteness his attitude toward the proposal to es- tablish peace with Germany by Con. gressional action.
 The program calls for reading in both bodies of the presidents proela- nation calling the extra session and for election of officers. Speaker Gillett is to be reelected in the House after the call of the roll by states.
 Committee slates also are to be adopted, with Representative Mondell of Wyoming to continue as majority leader and Representative Kitchin If North Carolina succeeding the late Champ Clark as minority leader.
 The usual opening food of bills and resolutions is due in the House, but not till later in the Senate.
 The first legislative achievement promises to be enactment of the emer- gency tariff vetoed at the last session by President Wilson, This was intro duced in the House. 1t wifi be taken up for debate later, and Republican leaders will press for a final vote be. fore the week end. Senate leaders al- so will press the measure, hoping to get it into the presidents hands by next week.
 Work in the Senate will begin on the $25.000.000 Colombian treaty. with ratification generally indicated Hun dreds of nominations are expected to be received this week by the Senate from President Harding. Many re- cess appointments are to be included

 IT. recommending an efficient co-or- dination of the various agencies hav- ing to do with the welfare and as. sistance of soldiers and sailors, the president made no mention of the bonus question. He recommended the creation of a Department of Public Welfare, making it plain there was no purpose by the federal govern. ment to invade fields which the states have occupied
 In recommending speedy considera- tion of the army and navy appropria- tion bills the president declared that while the government is in accord with the wish to eliminate the burden of heavy armament and is ready to cooperate with other governments to approximate disarmament, it would not entirely discard our agencies for defense until there is removed the need to defend He made no specific ] declaration as to the size of the army or the navy except to say that the naval program could "carry no threat after the latest proof of our national unselffshness."
 The remaining portions of the ! presidents address was devoted to the discussion of foreign affairs.

Is for "prorection.


 Discussing tariff revision. the pres ident reaffirmed his belief in the pro lection of American industry.
 It is our purpose" he said. "to prosper America first. The privileges of the American market to the foreign producer are offered to cheaply today and the effect of much of our own pro ductivity is the destruction of our self reliance, which is the foundation of the independence and good fortune of our peoples. Imports should pay their fair share of our cost of government" !" Agriculture, the president said, is men aced with prices at pre-war normals and further endangered by high cost of transportation from farm to mar ket through the influx of foreign farm products
 While he urged emergency tariff re- vision immediately, he spoke of per manent revision later, and said: "The maturer vision of our tariff laws should be based on the policy of pro- lection, resisting that selfishness which turns to greed. but very con- cerned with that productivity at home which is the source of all abiding good fortune"
 Defation, the president told Con- gress, might well receive it's atten- tion, because. while reduced costs in basic production have been recovered, def1ation has failed to reach the mark where it could be proclaimed to the great mas sof consumers" Congress, he said, might help speed readjust- ments by suitable inquiry"
 As to Railroads.
 Discussing the railroad question, President Harding said there would be an ayowed foundation on which to rebuild if it could be understood that Congress has no sanction for "gov- ernment ownership" and does not levy taxes upon the people to cover deficits in service which should be self-sustaining." Railway rates and costs of operation. he said, must be reduced, because freight rates have mounted until commerce is halted and production discouraged"
 Development of good roads and in. land waterways, the president said, are collateral subjects with the trans portation question. and besides en- dorsing federal aid to highways he urged Congress to formulate a con- sistent program.
 Discussing the merchant marine the president declared for "a great one,p and told Congress that if present laws give advantages to competitors of American merchant marine. ''the spirit of American fair play will as- sert itself to give American carriers the equality of opportunity.
 He added he would report to Con- gross if intelligent and efficient ad. ministration under existing laws made established service impossible.
 The president devoted a portion of his address to wireless and cable de- velopment, declaring for prohibition of private monopolies tending to pre- vent development of needed facilities Especially desirable, he said, are ample services at reasonable rates for the transmission of press matter, so that "the daily press of all countries we'll may be put into position to con tribute to international understand ings by the publication of interesting foreign news"
