Committee
Approves A
Debt Plan
Measure Passed by House on
Friday Formally Reported
to Senate After Brief
Session.
Early Action Expected

Washington; Feb. 10.-Annroved nv
the finance committee, to 3. the bill
passed Friday by the house giving
congressional sanction to the British
debt settlement agreement was re-
ported formally today to the senate.
Chairman McCumber indicated that
it was his intention to call the meas
ure up the middle of next week. but
whether 1t would be possible to dis
place at this time the administration
shipping bill, now the unfinished busi-
ness of the senate, remained to be de-
veloped.
One republican, La Toilette. Wis
consin, and two democrats. Walsh,
Massachusetts and Gerry. Rhode Is
land. voted against the bill in COM
mittee, while one democrat. Will
liams. Mississippi, Supported it.
The seven republicans voting for a
favorable report. were McCumber,
North Dakota Smoot, Utah; Watson.
Indiana; Curtis, Kansas; Dillingham;.
Vermont; Calder, New York. and Ere
linghuysen, New Jersey.
n A brief hearing on the bill was held
tsenator Smoot, a member of the
American debt commission, going into
some details of the negotiations with
the British commission.
Wanted More Information.
Some committeeman thought more
information than supplied by Mr..
Smoot should be sought before the
committee acted but they were out
voted. Senator Walsh wanted the
record of the negotiations brought be-
fore the committee, while Senator La
Toilette sought to summon Elliot
Wadsworth, assistant secretary of the
treasury, and secretary of the com
mission.
Senator Smoot was reported to have
told the committee that the agreement
entered into was a modification of the
original American proposal, which
contemplated flat interest rate OF
IL per cent over the entire period
the loan was to run. This was unac-
ceptable to the British government
and the terms finally agreed upon-3
per cent for the first 10 years and
1-2 per cent thereafter-then were
proposed.
Refuse to Delay Note.
After the request of Senator Reed.
democrat. Missouri Senator Walsh re-
quested TINT the vote be deferred
nntr next THURSDAY whom Senator
Heed expects to return to Washing
ton, but republican leaders wanted TO
get the measure op the senate calen-
dar Immediately. They lid agree,
however, not to call il W in the sen
ate until Senator Reed returned.
Committee democrats opposing the
legislation agreed to not resort to OBJ
structive tactics during senate consid-
Grafton OF the bill and republican lead
ers were hopeful of getting vote
after debate of one or two days.
There were some indications, how
ever, that the discussion would be
rather general and that several sena
tors would insist upon more infor
nation regarding the debt negotia
tons than has been made public.
Only one minor change was mad
in the house bill This Is in altera'
ton of text and the expectation was
that IL It should be approved by the
senate the house would accept II with
cut sending the measure to conferee'
and thus delaying final congressional
action

~ IS of Much Harassed
administration Bill Multi
ply in Congrcss-Comt
promise Discussed.
Enemies Lay New Plans

Washington, Feb. 10.-With con
gress adjourning sine die at the end
Of another three weeks, the troubles
of the much harassed administration
shipping bill have multiplied SO that
even its friends said tonight that its
ultimate fate was shrouded in in
creased doubt.
Several new plans of attacks upon
the bill were laid today, and a COM
promise move among republicans de-
string drastic amendments was insti-
tuted at a conference with President
Harding at the White House. Senator
McNary. republican. Oregon. author
of several amendments modifying the
subvention and other provisions OF
the bill. together with several SEN
ators, discussed n compromise plan
with the president, but action went
over until next week. when Chairman
Lasker of the shipping board is to be
consulted.
Win Preliminary Victory.
In the senate, administration forces
won a preliminary victory when they
were able, by a vote of 81 to &c, to
order that the senate meet earlier
than usual next Monday to resume
consideration of the bill. Seven re-
publican opponents OF the shipping
bill voted with the democrats against
the proposal. but the totals were hall
ed by administration senators as n
barometer of strength IL they could
bring the bill to vote. Administra-
ton leaders claimed SO pledges for
the bill, but some of these were said
to favor radical revision.
Late today. after another speech OF
nearly five hours by Senator Fletcher,
democrat. Florida. against the bill,
Senator Jones. republican, Washing
ton, the administration manger Tor
the measure. proposed another agree
ment to curtail debate In an effort 10
bring about a vote. Under the plan
each senator would be limited. after
February IS, 10 one hour on the bill
and so minutes on amendments. IL
the bill should not be passed. a still
sharper limit would become effective
February 90.
Oppose Proposal.
Opponents indicated they would re
fuse the unanimous consent for such
an agreement when IL is brought up
for action Monday. Although Sena-
tor Jones' program contemplates hold
ing the bill continually before the
~ nnts until Fehrrary 90. at least,
senators in charge of the British debt
funding bill. reported to the senate
today from committee, said they
would move TO bring 1t up early next
week, probably Tuesday or Wednes.
day. This move Is expected to have
the opposition OF Senator Jones. who
said that II laid aside once more, the
shipping bill would be virtually de-
feated.
With republican leaders thus in dis
agreement, the bills opponents were
preparing new moves against the pro
posed legislation. A motion next Mon
day to recommit the bill, possibly
with instructions to adopt some OF the
McNary amendments, was planned
from the democratic side. while re-
publican advocates of the Capper
truthin fabric bin were planning a
motion to have II supplant the ship
ping measure.
