BACK MELLON
IN HIS FIGHT

tarv and Sen. Watson on
Counter Offensive"
GOES TO THE SENATE
Senator Watson Prepared To
Make an Extended State
ment in That Body

Washington April 1A.I (By the A.
f)~~The administration is preparing
to renew with increased vigor its
counter offensive in it's fight against
the fight on Secretary Mellon in the
Senate
President Coolidge conferred at
length today with the Treasury Se-
cretary and with Senator Watson of
Indiana, one of the administration
Senate leaders and chairman of the
special committee which is investi-
eating the internal revenue bureau.
It was indicated Senator Watson
would make another speech in the
Senate. probably tomorrow, setting
forth in great detail the arguments
for discontinuance of the inquiry.
Other Senators on the Republican
side are expected to join in the
counter-attack in support of Plcsi-
dent Coolidge's charge that the re-
venue bureau committee has not kept
within it's proper rights and his
warning that the time has come for
the Senate to return to govern
ment under and in accordance with
| the usual form of the law of the
land" Whether Secretary Mellon
will take any further direct part in
the argument remains to be develop
ed.
In renewing his request for action
on the resolution to end the Revenue
bureau investigation Senator Wat
son will reply to a statement issued
last night by Gov. Pinchot of Perm
sylvania, who suggested employment
by the committee ,of Francis J
Heney. The Indiana Senator takes
the position that nothing is to be
gained by the inquiry proposed by
Gov. Pinchot into prohibition en-
forcement under Secretary Mellon.
Question of Strategy
The general question of the stra
tegy to be employed in the next
| phase of the battle was discussed al
today's conference between the F,e
| sident, Secretary Mellon and Senator
| Watson. Afterwards Senator Watson
said no conclusions were reached. He
hastened to the capitol to report the
| views of the President to the confer.
ence of Republican Senator'S which
met prior to the convening Of the
| Senate.
| Should an agreement be reached
| by the Republicans to proceed with
the immigration bill Senator Watson
| indicated he would make no move to
bring up his resolution today.
