that if President Obregon refuses to

bility that Japan and the United

ference of the British, French, Bel
gian and Italian premiers here this

Japan has already formally requested

this fact need not preclude consider
alton of the point. especially having
in regard the strong views enter
tanned by Washington and vigorously
expressed by the American ambassa-
dors upon certain aspects of the is

devote their first exchange of views
to settling this question, the infer
ence from his statement apparently
being that II admission is decided
upon. the United States will be in

1t can be stated on the highest au-
thority that the Washington govern
ment has no suggestion to make to
the allied premiers in connection with
this London meeting.
American Ambassadors Houghton
and Fletcher and Senator Mccormick
whose presence in London is referred
to in the British press as having
some connection with the conference,
all went to the British capital on
their own volition.
Ambassador Houghton arranged
time ago. His business was personal
although it is hardly likely that he
would visit the British capital with
out seeing his colleague, Ambassador
Harvey. Ambassador Fletcher's rea-
son for going from Brussels to Lon
don just at this time is unknown in
Washington. The trip was not made
by direction of the State Department
Not President's Recommendation.
So far as Senator McCormick's Lon
don visit is concerned. 1t was said at
the White House today that President
Harding has no personal representa-
tive there or elsewhere.
The presence in London Of the two
ambassadors and Senator Mccormick
just on the eve of the meeting Of the
premiers was viewed in official quar-
ters to be a pure coincidence. AS
the Washington government has no
proposal to make and is not informed
In advance of the premiers' proba BILE
decision as to the Brussels economic
and financial project. it is said there
Is no reason to attach Importance to
that coincidence.
Doubt Over Brussels Parley.
1t is generally doubted in Washing
ton that the British, French. Belgian
and Italian premiers would them
selves be able to say whether the
Brussels conference would be called
in advance of the conversations for
which they have assembled in London,
Unless there is a strong conviction
among them that such a conference
would be virtually certain to produce
results it is not believed likely here
that it will be called.
In Hands of Debt Commission.
Pending the formal calling of the
conference. and the extending Of an
invitation to the United States to
participate. there is nothing before
the Washington government with re-
lation to the project. In that connec-
tion it is recognized generally by al
lied statesmen that the Washington
administration cannot enter into a
conference for discussion Of European
debts to the United States as Con-
gress has already placed that matter
in the hands of the debt commission
1t follows that the American answer
to any invitation to a financial and
economic conference could be de-
termined only when the purpose and
scope of the discussion has been for
mally outlined.

FIGHT IN HOUSE
FOR BUREAU Jobs
Plate Printers Oppose Item
to Abolish Hand
Presses.

The House galleries were filled with
! and friends today when the fight started
on the floor Of the House over the item
in the Treasury Department apprcpria-
| tion bill which proposes to substitute
power presses for hand plate printing
presses IN the bureau Of engraving and
printing. and which directs the discharge
of 21S skilled employees.
Representative Fred y. Zihlman of
Maryland. chairman Of the House COM
mittee on labor, promptly made point
Of order 'fn that this paragraph is not
germane to the subject matter of the
bill and that 1t is legislation on an ap-
preparation BILL
He based his point of order as to
germaneness on a decision by former
Representative John J. Fitzgerald of
New York, then chairman of the House
appropriations committee in the Sixty
third Congress, in that an amendment
must be akin to or related to the sub
ject matter Of the BILL"
Representative Sanders Of Indiana,
presiding In the committee of the whole,
said that as this was in regard to an
amendment he did not think the point
Of germaneness would hold. Represen-
Fitzgerald decision to the effect that
'if the purpose is to prevent hasty or
ill-considered legislation, or legislation
for which the whole body might not be
properly prepared"
Representative zihlman argued
that the paragraph concerning the
bureau of engraving and printing
seeks to repeal existing law. He
pointed out that the subject matter
is now before the committee on print
ing. which has considered bill. in
troduced by the chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations. AS there
was no action on that measure, Rep
resentative Zihlman said the chair
man Of the committee on appropria-
tions has now brought 1t in as a rider
on an appropriation bill.
Representative Zihlman said it at
tempts to repeal existing law. It
proposes to remove the hand presses
from the bureau Of engraving and
printing and. to substitute power
presses therefor.
AS regards his second point that +,
Is legislation on an appropriation bill
Representative Zihlman quoted a de-
cision by Representative Garrett OF
Tennessee when presiding in the
committee of the whole House. That
decision held that the committee on
appropriations may not bring in al
an integral part Of an appropriation
bill substantial legislation that, ii
brought in the usual way as a bill
would go to another committee, nor
that any member could offer such
legislation as an amendment to an
appropriation bill from the floor, ex-
cept as a report of a committee OF
joint commission with jurisdiction
over such legislation.
Representative Zihlman also quoted
an opinion by Representative Hull of
Tennessee as chairman in the COM
mittee Of the whole that such legisla-
tion must come officially from the
committee having Jurisdiction over
the subject matter.
