Sf5,C61 was offered by Chairman
Dempsey of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee and was adopted by a vote
OF 15S TO "a after three hours of acri-
monius debate, during which forty
members aired tLeir views. The vote
on the amendment was along sectional
rather than party lines, Republicans
splitting on the proposal while most
of the Democrats favored it.
The discussion was so protracted that
a final vote on the bill could not be
reached to-day. The measure probably
will come to a final vote tomorrow. will,
opponents of the Dempsey amendment
privileged under House rules to demand
a record vote on the increase at the last
minute.
Representative Mondell, Republican
leader; Chairman Madden of the Appro-
priations Committee, Chairman Anthony
of the appropriation subcommittee in
charge of the bill. Representative Stat
ford rep. Wis.,. member of the
subcommittee, and Representative Bur-
ton (Rep., Ohio). a former chairman of
the Rivers and Harbors Committee. were
among those opposed to the measure.
Those who led the fight for its adoption
included Mr.. Dempsey and various men,
bers of his committee Representative
Mann tRep., ILL., and Representative
Byrnes (Tenn.). ranking Democratic
mittee.
The phrase pork barrel legislation
frequently was injected into the debate.
The amount originally recommended
in the bill was slightly in excess of the
sum approved by the Budget Bureau,
while the total proposed by Mr.. Demp-
sey was the amount requested by the
Chief OF Army Engineers. in charge of
the. river and harbor improvements.
Carried as a lump sum with the amount
to be expended on various projects not
specified. the appropriation would be APP
portioned by the Army Engineering
ing fiscal year on projects already au-
thoriZed.
Mr.. Mondell characterized the move
ment to increase the appropriation as
the first assault on the budget system"
and as a raid on the Treasury"
Mr.. Burton contended action of the
House in approving the increase showed
the mistake of making lump sum appro-
priations. Such system, he said,
caused members to combine in support
of large sums so that projects in their
districts would be taken care of.
Mr.. Mann declared opponents of the
bill made 1t appear that "a band Of
rascals" were attempting to raid the
Treasury. A number of Representatives
who approved the increase advanced the
argument that Improvement OF inland
waterways would allow farmers and
manufacturers in the interior TO move
their products by water more cheaply
than they now can by railroad

Senator Hitchcock (Neb.). opened the
attack upon Senator Lodge for railing
to include the declaratory statement IN
the treaty as ratified. The Republican
majority contented itself with reitera-
ton Of the statement that the ommls-
sion made no difference. that II It -
part OF the treaty its ratification had
been accomplished. and If 1t is not, IT
could be ratified in some other way II

gardiess of what was done with the
declaratory statement now, Japan was
at liberty to ratify the treaty without
the declaratory statement.
After the opposition had worn itself
out discussing this feature OF the situa-
tion, Senator Robinson spoke in favor OF
lis amendment eliminating the southern
part of the island of Sakhaln from the
treaty. He called attention to the fact
that the island is now in dispute, the
Japanese occupying the northern por-
ton and that the southern portion Is
only four miles from the Asiatic main"
land. He predicted this would be the
point of attack in the event OF difficulty
between the two nations.

OF the treaty was to protect the Philip
pines and with this accomplished, he
