Representative Connery, democrat
massachusetts,, cast the single vote
against the resolution, which now
goes to the senate for final action.
Connery did not explain his opposi-
tion.
The resolution complied with re-
quest made by President Coolidge
who in a special message explained
that the appropriation would per-
nit acceptance of an invitation by
the council of the league to at
tend the conference, which is to be
held at Geneva.
Two amendments to the resolu-
ton were rejected by the house on
points of order. One by Representa-
tive Fish, republican, New York,
sought to have placed on the agenda
of the conference a resolution to
consider means of outlawing, a ma
ton waging war of aggression,
while the other, by Representative
Berger, socialist, wisconsin, pro-
posed that the president suggest to
the conference the necessity of re-
vising the Versailles treaty"
Chairman Porter of the house
foreign affairs committee, which re-
ported the resolution said that while
he favored the proposal by Fish,
the amendment clearly infringes
on the treaty making powers of the
president"

SENATE FIGHT
ON TAX MEASURE
SEEMS ASSURED
tP,5 Dispatch a. P. Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-A fight
against some provisions of the tax
reduction bill ordered unanimously
reported to the senate by it's fl
nance committee appears certain
despite the compromise agreement
between republicans and democrats.
The provisions for repeal of the
inheritance tax and the publicity
of income tax returns are almost
certain to be made the basis of the
contest by some western senator's
of both parties.
The compromise, however, has ap-
parently assured overwhelming sup
port for the bill and it's enactment
in time to become effective by
March Is, seems assured.
Secretary Mellon withheld definite
approval of the bill today pending
a study by experts to determine
the full extent of the reduction it
will provide. He had warned the
finance committee to hold the total
of reductions to the $330,00O, 600
limit approved, by the house, but
Chairman Smoot of the senate COM
mIIIee eSIluIdCSu IouoS elO pAAA PA0o
ably would provide for at least
$36O,OO0,0O in reduction.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
in a brief discussion of the bill in
the senate today expressed doubt
that the farmers will be consoled
by the agreement of the two great
parties to slash surtax rates and
repeal inheritance taxes
Chairman Smoot said he would
present the bill to the senate as
soon as it is printed, but he ex-
pressed doubt that this would be
possible before Wednesday. He will
then wait at least two days for
senators to study it's provisions and
indicated he would not. seek to call
it up for consideration before the
end of the week.
