BURTON DEFENDS
 RIGHTS OF HOUSE
Says Members Should Express &. Views on Treaties

Washington. Feb. 2i.--The right Of the house ot representatives to express itself on certain internatlon- al policies was defended today In a report drawn up by Representative Burton of Ohio, a member of the house foreign affairs committee which is to be filed at the request Of that committee. It will accom- pany a resolution recently approved by the commitre-, which would place the house on record as favoring American adhesion to the world court.
 Constitutional provision for the advice and consent of one of the two houses of congress in relation to treaties and international agree ments, Mir. Burton said, Is largely based upon the necessity for secrecy and dispatch.
 "No injunction of secrecy" he said ''has been imposed upon the recom- merdation for world court and as regards dispatch. only one day less than two years has elapsed since 1t was presented to the senate by President Harding"
 MT. Burton made an exhaustive study of the precedents for house participation in the nations foreign affairs, but pointed out that the con- clusions were not necessarily the opinions of all members of the house committee.
 The report mentioned a number of cases where members of the house had taken the initiative in questions concerning foreign affairs, especially In authorizing expenditures for repre- sentatives in foreign countries.
 A long discussion of the world court and it's functions and of the league of nations was contained in the document it being held that the court was purely judicial, deciding according to law and the principles of justice and equity.
 The importance of the pending resolution it said, renders it desir- able to consider what action by the house Is right and proper in partici- patton in our foreign relations.
 Among the disputed questions that have arisen throughout the con- troversy has been the one relating to the binding force of treaties which involve expenditures from the trea- sury. Upon this 1t Is conceded that the house, claiming the initiative ir the making of appropriations and

 ID BE RE0PENED
House Committee to ReaSsemble
 on Thursday

Washington, Feb. 24.--By a vote of to 1, the house military aircraft committee today reversed its de- cision of last Saturday and decided to reopen hearings next Thursday.
 The only explanation of today's action given by committee members related to committee finances. It was said that instead of having emptied its war chest as previously supposed, the committee was found to have more than s2,O0O left for expenses.
 The resolution to reopen the in- quiry was offered by Representative Prall, democrat, New York, at an executive meeting yesterday. but ac tion was deferred until today, to en- able an accurate check on the com mittee's finances.
 After expenditure of the $2,o00 remaining in the committees fund Representative Perkins, republican, New Jersey committee examiner. said the committee members voted to contribute personally if that was found necessary The committee in structed Mir. Perkins to notify Sec retaries Weeks and Wilbur that it would be glad to receive any addi- tional information on aircraft that the war and navy departments might desire to present,
 While the committee was debating whether to pry further under the lid of the aircraft controversy, Secre- tary Wilbur declared in public speech that the navy not only need adequate aircraft but we have and are getting them."
 Speaking before women's con ference called to consider prepared ness as peace measure, the secre tary asserted that the navy long ago had realized the need for air pre- paredness and had acted accordingly, It. was his first public reference to the question since it had been brought to the front by the house hearing.
 Officers who are operating Amer ican battleships, MT. Wilbur said in his brief discussion of aviation have anticipated in their imagina- ton and their efforts the more tardy cry of those who have recent ly had their attention drawn to air craft"
 If bombing planes can sink bat tleships," he said, i've want bombing planes to sink the battleships of our enemy and we want anti-aircraft guns on our battleships and aircraft to protect our battleships.
