WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page u

Those well informed on inter
national affairs state that the
United States will make an eff
fort to confne the discussion to
reduction of ornaments but will
assiduously avoid participating
in security pacts" which deal
with economic problems of other
nations. 1t has always been our
experience, because of the enor-
nous wealth of this country, to
lose in economic negotiations
with other countries. 1t is barely
possible that the Geneva con-
ference may not be held as sche-
duled as the European situation
is not settled. 1t is however, a
problem holding the attention of
the diplomatic and military
establishments here and some
thing upon which Congress has
little to say at this time.
One of the surprises of the
present session has been the ten
dency to soft-pedal discussion on
power projects, especially the
Muscle Shoals issue. The time
of the House and Senate has been
so taken up with internal revenue
measures and appropriation bills
that they have had little time for
controversy over electrical power
systems. 1t is bound to crop up
shortly in debate.
Another interesting feature
has been the unusual attendance
of Congressman at sessions of the
House. Seldom has it been ne
cessary for a quorum call as a
substantial number of members
are usually in their seats. Per-
haps this is due to the tendency
of organized groups to report the
absence of congressman when
important measures are discussed
on the floor of the House. The
issue of absenteeism has been
raised in primaries over a long
period of years with disastrous
results to the man seeking re-
election. All other qualifications
fall into discord when a repre-
sentative in Congress neglects
his constituents.
The sporadic efforts to bring
congressional Investigations are
not meeting with any success.
A local observer recently de-
scribed these movements as IAN
inquiry originally announced as
a probe usually turns out to
be a poultice".

Haney Quits Shipping Board

Washington-Bert E. Haney (Dem.,
Ore) resigned as a member of the
shipping board effective March 1. The
action brings to head troublesome
situation which has existed since last
August when President Coolidge re-
quested Mr.. Haney's resignation on
the ground that, by proposing to re-
move Leigh C. Palmer as president of
the fleet corporation, the commits
sioner had run contrary to the under
standing l had with you when l re-
appointed you"
