Genoa Conference
Only Clinic, Word
Banker Vanderlip

Washington, May 1.-THE Genoa
conference was described as more
of clinic than a conference" in a
cablcgram from Frank A. Eanderlip,
New York banker, to the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
which was read at tonights session
of that organizations annual con-
vention.
1T has exposed the variety, nature
and extent of the diseases from
which Europe is suffering" Mr.. Van
derlip said but has performed no
surgical operation and has admin
istercd no important dose Of medi-
cine"
owing to "the prohibition against
discussion or more important sub
jects" in the conference, the cable
gram said, the economic signifi-
canoe of Russia has been absurdly
emphasized" Mr.. Vanderlip added
that unless strong craftsmanship
compelled q reasonable attitude on
the part of France" the German sit
uation would be critical, since roy
alist plots and significance increas-
ing prices promise great social hard
ship which may result in revolution
airy outbreaks"
After reviewing the actions taken
at the conference and interpreting
them fro mthe viewpoint of inter-
national relations Mr.. Vanderlip
added that the attitude Of the Amer
lean government with respect to
Europe has been SO eminently wise
that I feel like trusting the admin
istration fully and that we had bet
ter not cmbarrass it with sugges-
TONS"

MUST STAY ON JOB
fcontinJed from PAGE Orel


Senator Watson said to vest legis-
Iative power in the hands of the ex-
ccutive was "violative of the very
spirit of representative government.
Senator Underwood said the power
proposed was mandatory upon Pres
ident and declared that if the bill did
not create an embargo against i'm
ports the President was ordered to
make one.
Senator McCumber brought the dis
! cussion to a close by calling atten-
ton that the senate had been in ses-
sion for six hours without taking a
single vote and asking that 1t pro-
coed to a vote. This was done almost
! Immediately. the committee rate of 20
per cent. ad valore.a on bone black
being approved. The committee orig
inally had proposed rate of one cent
pound but withdrew this. An
amendment by Senator Walsh, Demo-
crat, Massachusetts,. to make the rate
I ten per cent. was rejected. 90 to 46.
Supporting his amendment, Senator
Walsh said that since imports OF
bone black were negligible there was
involved neither revenue nor protec-
ton and that this item was "illus-
trative" that in the whole chemical
schedule an attempt was being made
ito maintain excessive prices fixed
during the war when there was no
competition"
A report submitted by the sergeant
alarms on the recults of an attempt
ed roundup of quorum led to a
warm debate during the night session.
Senator Underwood sail he had been
informed that the report. which was
read into the record declared that
Democrats who were in town and abb
sent were well, while Republicans in
the same category were all sick with
three exceptions.
Senator Robinson. Democrat, Ar
kansas, said the reading of the report
to the senate was q most extraordin-
airy proceeding in view of the fact that
none of the absents are on the Demo-
cratic side. most of whom he said
were in the senate restaurant had
been notified that their attendance
fEas necessary, and he asked that the
portion of the report naming Sena-
tors who were at dinner should be
stricken from the record.
Senator Lodge who had asked that
the report be read. objected, dc claring
the usual efforts had been made to To-
cate absentees. He added that the
reading of the report was not an UNI
usual procedure.
Senator Underwood described the
proceedings as more humorous than
otherwise" He said the bill of
course was Every obnoxious to the
man who believed in the principles of
democracy" and that it would BE no
reflection on a senator on this side
Democratic. that he has not aided in
passing the bill"
The Democratic leader said the
bill would be debated for weeks to
come because "the country was en-
titled to know what was in it,"
Senator Lodge said that he would
agree that since the Republicans had
60 members in the senate they ought
to keep quorum present.
