WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE first
issue of the senate fight over ratifica-
ton of the four-power Pacific treaty
will be decided today when a vote is
taken on the amendment proposed by
Sentor Robinson, Democrat of Arkan-
Sas.
Unanimous consent for vote on

posal of Senator Swanson of Virginia
after an all-day attack on the treaty
in which Senators Johnson of Cali
fornia and Borah of Idaho, both Re
publicans took the lead.
AS modified yesterday by Senator
Robinson, his amendment provides
that the rights of nations both in and
out of the four-power group are to be
respected and that non-signatory as
well as signatory nations shall be in
vited to any conference held to con-
slider controversies affecting insuIar
interests in the Pacific "or any Far

leaders said they were assured of suf-
ficient votes to defeat the amendment
which until Senator Robinson's speech
yesterday favoring it's adoption in the
interest, he said, of Russia, China and
other non-signatory nations, had been
touched on but little in the senate de
bate.

"The Palladium, which is one of the

MELLON, CRISS!NGER
GOV. HARDING ASKED
FOR BONUS ADVICE
(Rv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 14-Secre-
tary Mellon, Comptroller of the Cur
rency Crissinger, and Governor Hard
ing of the federal reserve board, will
be asked to appear before the house
ways and means committee this after
noon to give further statements with
regard to the bank loan provisions of
the soldiers bonus.
Despite uncertainty as to procedure
for securing early action on the mea-
sure by the house, Republican mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee were prepared to go ahead with
their plans to have the compromise
soldiers bonus bill reported out at
the postponed meeting today of the
full committee.
No changes were expected in the bill
additional to the minor amendments
agreed on by the majority members
of the committee yesterday when they
decided to stand pat on the measure
despite objections to it's provisions
voiced by Secretary Mellon and Comp
troller of the Currency Crissinger.
Procedure in Allegiance
The question of procedure in bring
ing the bill to vote in the house was
being held in allegiance today by Re-
publican leaders because of their in
ability to ascertain whether Speaker
Gillett who is in Florida with Presi-
dent Harding, would entertain a mo-
tion for suspension of the rules under
which it was hoped to put the bill
through next Monday.
Reports that he might try this pro
gram which would require two thirds
vote for passage of the bill and would
automatically bar all amendments
were followed by a conference late
yesterday between Republicans of the
ways and means committe and mem
bers of the Republican steering com
mittee. 1t was decided at this con
ference to withhold a final decision
as to procedure until the views of the
speaker could be learned.
