 The only piece Of legislation Of Importance to reach President Cool idge is the joint resolution appro- priating Sio,000 to defray the cX- penses of American participation in the preliminary disarmament confer ence at Geneva.
 The senate has spent most of its time considering the resolution oi adherence Of the United States to the world court. which was adopted last week. The tay bill soon will be passed and with these two big issues out of the way, the machinery will be speeded up.
 The house has been going ahead much faster, but with new proposals coming in every day congress can never hope to even consider q third of them. The great bulk will be kicked around committee rooms only to find q final resting place in the waste paper baskets after this con gress expires.
