Virtually Sealed

PASS ON AMENDMENTS

WASHINGTON. Feb. II Omitted
Press). Settlement of the British
war debt to the United States was
virtually a sealed compact today. a.
a result Of the Senate's passage last
night Of the bill providing terms OF
the British refunding plan.
The bill went back TO the House
today for agreement in amendments.
but this. it was believed. would not
greatly delay it. and within a few
days the final signing up" Of the
refundlng plan can be accom-
plished.
The amendments adopted were
both presented by Democratic Sena-
tors. one by Robinson, Arkansas,
providing that future debt settle
ments with other nations shall be
submitted TO Congress for approval,
but az the same time relaxing very
greatlwths terms of the present debt
funding law. The House bill would
have given the President power TO
SANCTION Whatever AHIAuH NAAt WIN
might arrange. but the Sen
ate from the first refused 20 repose
so much power in Presidential
hands.
The other was the Harris amend
ment including Democrats from now
on in the membership OF the AIneri-
can commission. Three Democrats
will be appointed on the commission
which will consist OF eight instead OF
Ave members.
The final bill showed. as was sx-
pected. an overwhelming belief in
the Senate just as existed in the
House, that the terms made with
Great Britain were fair and Just 10
both governments.
Seventy Senators voted for the
settlement and thirteen against It.
The opposing members are two or
.hree in excess OF earlier expecta-
ions, but away below the maximum
of twenty which some administra-
lion leaders had set in their can
Yass.
