DAWES DEFENDS
SENATE REFORM
Selfish Instincts Gratified by
!, Absence of CIoture, He
Ts Says in Speech.
~ The Associated Press.


MANCHESTER, n. H, June "a
Replying to critics of his policy of
Senate rules reform, Vice President
Dawes maintained here last night
that the absence of effective cloture
in the Senate tends to increase rather
than decrease the number of laws
passed by that body, and cited in
proof statistics of the last five Con
crosses.
Speaking before the Manchester
Chamber of Commerce, the Vice Presi-
dent called upon those Senators who
see in the power of minority obStruc-
tion in the Senate Il defense against
Federal encroaChment upon State
rights ITO propose some modification
of the rules which. while providing
ms jority clotura on all questions
which affect ordinary legislation. VIII
permit unlimited debate upon those
few occasions when legislation in
volving alleged encroachments upon
the constitutional rights of the States
Is under consideration"
Dealing with the effect Of cloture
on the volume of legislation, he said:
Crafty Selfish Instincts.
when in great matters it is pos
sihle for a selfish human instinct 10
CRAFTY itself at the expense of the
common good II leaves trail so broad
and so deep that when once pointed
out only the blind cannot see ii. II
stands 10 reason that any body, which
sometimes must grant concessions TO
individual members in order TO secure
the right to act as a whole, Will pass
more laws in proportion than a body
not under that handicap.
Now what are the facts?
In the last five Congresses the
Senate bills and resolutions passed by
l. - %
ed by lS2 the House bills and resolu-
tions passed by the House, with 43o
members The exact figures are 3,l13
for the Senate and 1881 for the House.
But more significant even than
this. as evidence of the inevitable eX-
actions OF selfish human nature when
given a chance, is the fact that the
Senate passed these 3,l13 bills and
resolutions out of a total of 29,332
introduced while the House passed
it's smaller number of 2,931 out of
total of s., ,632 introduced.
Senate Percentage Larger.
During the last five Congresses,
therefore, the Senate passed 1912 per
cent of the bills and resolutions in
troduced in the Senate, while the
House of Representative passed only
8h per cent of the bills and resolu-
tions introduced III the House. In
other words, of bills and resolutions
introduced the Senate, without effec-
tive cloture, passed in proportion
three times as many as did the House
of Representatives, with cloture.
There have been vague claims
made by the opponents of reforms in
the Senate rules, that the absence of
effective cloture tended to prevent
multiplicity of laws. My contention
is that the figures l have given estab-
lish the fact that the absence of effec-
tive cloture tends to increase the
number of laws"

Washington, Jan. 27-Interna-
tional affairs have forged to the
front during the week as topics
for discussion by men in public
life here. Not even the eclipse,
a rare phenomena casting an un-
earthly shadow, could divert
some Legislators from their plans
to subordinate domestic matters.
The international atmosphere
seems to permeate the Senate
and House at present.
Senator Borah, Chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. has been giving vent
to some of his personal views on
the French debt. He has in
dulged in what may be rightly
termed a long-distance debate
with a member of the French
Chamber of Deputies. There has
been some criticism here that it
is not the best form of states
manship and even lacking in dig
nifty. Some have gone so far as
to say that the speeches in the
American-French assemblies bor-
dered on the theatric. The sub
ject has received some consider
alton in the House where many
members are concerned over the
possibilities of cancellation of the
French debt. Members of Con-
gress are indignant at the atti-
tude of some American citizens
who spend large part of their
time abroad and are constantly
going to the French authorities
representing themselves as
spokesman for American opinion.

are deluded by these individuals
who are usually self-persuaded in
the pleasing belief that they rep

Inasmuch as the foreign debts
