ing President Harding's requirement
that the bill carry a means of fnan-
ing, but also of silencing the talk
about the cancellation of the foreign
debt.
A roll call on the proposal was de-
manded at first, but this demand was
withdrawn, presumably because of the
apprehension of leaders that quor-
um could not be obtained at the then
late hour. A division was had in
stead, 80 senators signifying their
approval of the amendment and one,
his disapproval.
The Smith-McNary reclamation
amendment was agreed to by vote
of az to 26. Party lines disappeared
on the roll call, % Republicans and
20 Democrats supporting the amend
ment and IS Republicans and eight
Democrats opposing it.
