Cabinet Members Allowed in Congress?

~ EVIVAL of the plan to change
N the rules Of congress to give
cabinet members the privileges of
the floor, without vote, to make the
new national budget law more effec-
tive, is In progress here. The national
council of the National Economic
league, composed of 1900 presidents
and professors of universities, judges,
bankers, lawyers, manufacturers, and
others, has issued the results of a
referendum among its members on
this subject.
Under the system established by the
new law signed by President Harding
last June the national budget is pre-
pared by a bureau, of which Gen.
Charles G. Dawes is director. To give
1t consideration budget committee
has been created in the house, the
finance committee performing for the
senate.
1t is pointed out no opportunity is
given for the executive to defend or
explain the budgets proposal public
ly before either branch of congress as
a whole. The Good committee itself,
which prepared the bill. in its report

his written application and by paying

be wishes to reinstate
If the insurance has lapsed for
more than three months, it will be
necessary for him to submit the report
of full medical examination in addi-
tion to his statement testifying to his
good health and to pay two months
premium.
Notwithstanding these requirements.
an ex-service man who has allowed
his policy to lapse may reinstate his
insurance at any time prior to March
4, 1925, under the following regula-
tons:
If the ex-service man is disabled as
result of an injury or disease con-
tracted in or aggravated by his mill
tary or naval service during the World
war, but is not totally and permanent
ly disabled, he may reinstate his
lapsed insurance by submitting a re-
port OF complete medical examina-
ton to show that he is not suffering
from any disability other than that
contracted In the service.

highly honored to be placed on the,
floor of the house
They returned, however, no wiser,
but somewhat sadder. The session
merely served to mystify their con-
ceptions of American politics. The
one thing that apparently made the
greatest impression upon then was
the sight of a correspondent for a
Kansas newspaper sitting in the press
gallery during the invocation, sharpen
ing his pencil as he prepared for ac-
ton. To fellow correspondent who
demonstrated with him that he was
showering the heads of congressman
with lead and pine shavings, he re-
piled with becoming dignity: Let
the chips fall where they may"
Rarely have the members of con-
gress had such an audience. All the
big wigs among the foreign delega-
tons were there. The diplomatic gal
lery was filled to overlooking. The
press galleries were crowded. 1t was
almost question of standing room
only"

FRANCE ACCEPTS
UNDERSEA CURB
American Proposal Against
Attacks on Merchant
Ships Approved.
FINAL ACTION PENDING
Arms Delegates Withhold Sanction
Pending Discussion of Pre-
else Language of
Declaration.

Washington-The American propo
sal to prohibit use of submarines
against merchant vessels now the pre-
dominant issue of the arms negotia-
tions has been accepted in principle
by France, but her delegates have re-
served final approval pending a dis
cussion of the precise language of the
declaration
British acceptance previously had
been given and although neither the
Italians nor the Japanese had received
final instructions there were indica-
lions that neither Rome nor Toxic
would interprose serious objections if
the proposal received Frances full
approval.
Reservation Not Revealed.
The exact nature of the French re-
impression was gathered in some
quarters that it might concern such a
definition of tho terms of the declara-
ton as would make it clear just what
conduct would be expected from mer-
chantmen in view of their immunity
from submarine attack.
Should that point be raised, an in
teresting and many-sided discussion
might result, for in several quarters
there has been apparent a tendency
toward the opinion that the term
merchant ships" should be strictly
defined with express stipulation as to
whether merchantmen are to be per-
mitted to arm and whether it is to be
permissible to disguise warships as
vessels of commerce.
Root Proposal Accepted.
The French delegation however, in
making known it's acceptance in prin-
ciple, has emphasized that it not only
agrees to the original proposal of
Elihu Root that the new prohibition
on submarine warfare become effec-
tive when all nations have agreed to
it, but also to the amendment of
Arthur p Balfour which would make
the prohibition Immediately effective
as between the five great powers.
At the same time the French have
accepted the additional Root declara-
ton under which any submarine COM
mander violating the rules of inter-
national law would be liable to trial
for an act of piracy. In regard to this
also acceptances still are awaited
from the other foreign governments.

declared: 1.-THE plan does provide for
an executive initiation of the budget,
but the Presidents responsibility ends
when he has prepared the budget and
transmitted it TO congress-"
In criticism of the measure, the Ma.
tional Economic league says it will
not give visible government" and
will not fix responsibility in a way to
help the voter. The only way execu-
tive heads can be made responsible
and the voter intelligent is to require
the cabinet to appear personally before
the appropriating. representative
branch, and explain and defend their
acts and proposals.

CONGRESS STARTS ~ GRIND

Will Probably Be Kept in Session I'm
til Late in Summer.
Washington Congress started on
the 1922 legislative program faced
with the prospects that it may be
kept steadily at work until late in the
summer.
In addition to debates over routine
appropriation bills, there confronts
the Senate the probability of one
fight or series of fights over new
international agreements, resulting
from the Washington arms confer
ence. President Harding is under
stood to be prepared to forward all
of them to the Senate for considera-
tion, once the arms conference has
concluded it's work.
