finance committee, the only important
change made in the bill by the senate
was the elimination of provision
which would have given the commits

provision to the measure; to limit
the authority of the commission in

amendment by Senator Walsh. DEM
ocrat. Massachusetts. requiring the
commission after the conclusion OF

the results to the senate. Senator
Walsh explained. that the object was
to give "pitiless publicity to the work
of the commission. .

sides OF the chamber that il was the

charged that if the interest payments
could be deferred for a number of
years the way might be cleared for
the cancellation of the whole debt,

THESE contentious were denied by
those IN charge Of the measure. who
stated that II was necessary to give
the commission latitude in the mat

because all of the debtor nations
could not begin payments at the
same time. The senate was told that
