RAILROAD DEBT FUNDING
BILL GETS QUICK ACTION
Administration Measure to Come
Up This Week in Committees
of Both Houses,

Consideration OF the administration
railroad debt funding bill is to be begun
this week by Senate and House inter-
state committees. Republican leaders
hope that it may be passed by the House
ahead Of the tax revision bill and re-
ported to the Senate before the pro-
posed recess of Congress. They said
they had been advised by Treasury Of
ficials that such a schedule would meet
the situation, without necessitating
having Congress forego its vacation in
September.
The tentative plan for disposing Of the
railroad legislation, leaders said yester-
day. was based on expeditions of a long
and stubborn fight in the Senate. Be-
sides opposition Of group of senators
to what they declare would be a loan of
$500.000,O00 to the railroads, questions
Of repeating the so-called six per cent
rate guarantee Of the carriers and re-
storation Of state rate-making powers
to state commissions probably will be
brought up as amendments to the fund
ng bill. These amendments were offered
recently to another bill, but this meas
ure was withdrawn without their dis

mission to the Peruvian centennial

the Tacna-Aric controversy between
Peru and Chile are described in an
editorial by La Nacion today as ia
manifestation of extraordinary i'm
portance, which it is calculated, will
provoke a serious preoccupation in
the politics Of this continent"
Reference is made by the news
paper to that portion of Mr.. Douglas
speech. made at banquet given
Thursday evening by President
Leguia to the foreign ENJOYS, in
which the American is quoted as hav-
ing said:
Peru does not forget, and never
will forget, her hour of trial and des-
sympathy, but the respect of her big
sister"
La Nacion asserts it is impossible.
in view of the occasion and the Of
fetal character of the speaker, to
consider these declarations either as
outbursts of literary enthusiasm or
an innocent doctrinary exposition
"They reflect a serene msditated ex-
position of policy" 1t adds. but it
is prudent to await necessary ampli-
fication of this occurrence to obtain
a definition of the extent and sense
of application which ought to be
attributed to these words"
The paper declares that, without
giving the speech an alarming char
acter, it merits attention, because,
perhaps, "it contains the solution
which the nations of America desire
for the DISPUTE on the Pacific"
