IN CONGRESS
YESTERDAY
HOUSE

Met at noon and adjourned al j.4U
p. m. until noon Monday.
Continued consideration of the army
appropriation bill, under the tive-min-
ute rule for amendments.
At the request Of Chairman Kahn
of the military affairs committee, who
is leading the fight against reduction
of the personnel Of the army to 49,
900 enlisted men and 1000 officers,
consideration of the pay allowance pro
visions for officers and enlisted men
went over until this week.
There is division among Repuh-
lican leaders over the size of the army.
No sooner had Chairman Kahn, in 2
speech Friday, opposed the contem-
plated reductions than Republican
Leader Mondell declared he approved
the action of the appropriations COM
mittee in proposing them.
Unless their itinerary is changed
the congressional delegation, comprls-
ing members of the House military
and Senate agricultural committees,
will leave Washington March % to
make personal inspection of the
Musical Shoals (Ala.) government
power project.
At the close of conference with
House leaders, Speaker Gillctt an
nounced that he would not make up his
mind until Monday as to whether he
would permit the bonus bill to come
up under a suspension Of the rules.
SENATE
Met at noon and recessed at 6:lO p.
NJ. until II o'clock today.
Debate continued throughout the
day on the four-power Pacific treaty,
with Senators Borah and Johnson, Re
publicans, and Robinson, Democrat,
opposing, and Senators Jones, of
Washington, and Cappcr, Republi-
cans, favoring it.
There also was considerable run
ming discussion, participated in by
Senator's Lenroot and PoindeXter on
one side and Borah on the other.
Senator Robinson attacked the
treaty as dangerous instrument if
accepted as it is and urged an amend
ment that would bind the SignatoricS
against secret diplomacy.
Senators Robinson and Borah agreed
that the Anglo-,Japancse alliance,
which is abrogated by the pending
treaty, was not menace to the
United States because the agreement
of 1911, they said. exempted this ma
ton from its operation.
Supporting the Robinson amend
mcnt guarding against secret diplo
macy, Senator johnson asserted that
one of the biggest mysteries about
the treaty was why it made no pro-
vision for abrogation Of the alliance
between France and Japan. ...-.. =
Cr;tirting the Chinese Treaty Sen
ator Borah declared Japan would
never return Shantung, and that un-
der the conditions imposed China
could never redeem the ShantunS rail
road
Senator Jones, of Washington
(Rep), read extracts from statements
of foreign delegates 10 the conference
to show that the meaning OF the treaty
was perfectly clear, and argued that
by the treaty there is obtained Il con-
dtion of peace and good understand
ing, whereas there had been intri-
que and the menace of war.

A strong resolution serving notice
upon the world and in particular upon
the Reparations Commission that the
cost of maintaining United States
troops on the Rhine must be paid to
the last penny of the claim for $241, +,
100000 may grow out of the Senate
discussion of the matter. Such res
olution would take the form of
commentator Of the State Depart
ment in its negotiations with the
Reparations Commission pressing for
payment of the money from returns
made by Germany. Several senator's
are ready to ask the Senate to ask on
tie proposal. There is strong prob
ability that such a resolution would
have strong support from both the
Republican and Democratic sides of
the Senate. 1t would make clear to
the European premiers that the Sen
ate is squarely back of the Admins
tration in its demand for payment of
money now long overdue. Senator
Underwood, of Alabama, minority
leader in the Senate, has already
voiced his sentiment in regard to the
payment for this expenditure of
money on the part of the United
States, while Senator Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, the majority leader, SEN
ator Borah and others have taken the
same viewpoint.

The "dry" navy has hit q snag. A
collision with the budget machine may
prove fatal to the plan to outfit a
fleet of subchasers to hunt liquor
smugglers along the coast. Prohibi-
tion officials, after borrowing nine
l10-foot navy vessels Of the sub
chaser type, are now groping for a
method to pay for the experiment.
Funds for dry law enforcement are
running low, and can be expended
only for the specific purpose author
lied by Congress. 1t is now discov-
cred that the cost Of operating a fleet
of the size contemplated would be dis
astrous to the enforcement program
in other directions.
Enforcement officials have learned
that it would not be lawful to divert
funds which had been set aside for
certain purposes, including salaries,
rentals, etc, to pay the cost of main
tenance involved in operating the fleet
of chasers.

Building booms and the call of
farmers for farm labor are important
factors in reducing unemployment
over the United States, according to
Colonel Arthur Wood, chairman OF
the emergency committee of the
Presidents unemployment confer
cnce. State and municipal projects
and home building operations on a
wide scale are obsorbing many thou
sands of workmen who have been idle
through some of the winter months.
Reports indicate that there is an av-
erage increase of about so per cent in
structural operations and that in
some of the larger industrial cities
the increase has risen higher than 100
per cent above the expenditures for
new buildings in the corresponding
period last year. The farms are eN-
pected to deplete the ranks of the idle
in the large citis. Crop planting and
future operations in agricultural dis
tricts will keep thousands busy at
profitable and healthful work, Off
cials say.

Legislation by Congress to vest
broader powers in the Department of
Commerce to control radio transmit
ting apparatus in the United States is
expected to be urged by Secretary of
Commerce Hoover when he feturns to
Washington from a trip to Arizona,
where he is now conducting hearings
with the Colorado River Commission.
Technical and other committees
named by Secretary Hoover have sub
mitted reports, recommending that
strict regulations by the Government
of radio operations be promulgated
as means of preventing interference
and to aid in the development CT the
radio as great national asset. The
technical committees report that
while all transmitting apparatus
should be under strict governmental
regulation, there should not be any
supervision over receiving stations,
agrees with Secretary Hoover's con-
clusion as to the needs of the radio
situation previously expressed by
him.
