senate foreign relations committee Is
engaging the attention of Republican
leaders here.
A combination Of "irreconc,iables'

the committee chairman.
Senator BOrah. leader of the "tr-
reconcilables." Is one OF the most ac-

senator Lodge will meet face to face
across the committee table and
Borah says he will question Lodge
closely, not only with regard to the
Horsepower pact. but regarding every
thing that has transpired at the secret
sessions.
Wants Committee Open.
It Is understood that Borah will also
sueek to have the sessions OF the for

when 1t Is considering the four-power
md other treaties negotiated at the
armament conference.
Secretary Hughes Is understood to
have expressed a willingness to APP

nssnts eof Past Year, Commercial
Situation 10 Rsassuring.

New York, Dec. 2S.-An abrupt fall
n temperature in the East and else
where has provided about the only
important development, with an i'm
mediate bearing on the business situa-
ton. Distribution of heavyweight
goods, which has been tagging In
difficult quarters. derived some stimu-
lus from the colder weather, and q
further reduction Of merchandise
stocks resulted. Despite the restric-
tive influences present, holiday trade
has exceeded expectations in not q
few instances, and the fact that the
general turnover has not been OF the
same magnitude as In some other
years. nor as profitable. Is NOT reason
for encouragement. With the pur-
chasing power appreciably curtailed
and economy being widely practiced,
10 contraction In retail demands was
clearly foreshadowed, and dealers
have been operating with recognition
|of the diminished public consuming
capacity. The effect Of this condition
naturally appear. In wholesale and
and manufacturing circles. While
year end phases are not really repre-
sentative Of the status Of business.
yet the existing caution in primary
channels merely marks a continuance
Of q policy which has been long evil
dent. and nothing suggests any early
change In the attitude Of important
interests. Hesitation Is making ex-
tensive future commitments largely
reflects the prevailing uncertainties
hut progress along conservative and
wholesome lines Is more to be de-
sired than expansion which is based
on speculative anticipations. Con-
sidering the far-reaching readjust-
ments Of the last year and half. the
commercial situation Is reassuring.
and further improvement in the new
year may conceivably be witnessed.
