Not Secured

/ WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-B = The
McNary Haugen equalization fee bill
around which the congressional fight
over farm relie1' has centered, was
given right of way today in the house
with a vote expected next week.
The senate which has been consider
ing the measure for several days, has
agreed to vote on it Friday
In the house. a resolution providing
for immediate consideration of the bill
with general debate limited to twelve
hours was adopted without a record
vote after three hours discussion. Pre-
viously on a roll call the house had
rejected, ZIG to 146, a motion designed
to put the Curtis-Crisp proposal which
number of senator's and representa-
tives are supporting, on an equal legis-
lative footing.
In the senate, as consideration of farm
Legislation continued, Senator Wheeler,
democrat, Montana, served notice that
he would do his utmost to prevent final
congressional action on the McFadden
branch banking bill until after the
McNary Haugen measure is signed by
President Coolidge.
There were indications that he would
have the support of a number of sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber who
declined to enter into the combination
between supporters of the farm and
banking measures to bring about the
application of the rule limiting debate
on both bills unless agreements fixing
definite dates for votes could be had
Coupling with his proposal u warn
ing that he would renew his demand
for an investigation of the forces op-
Grating to the disadvantage of agr1-
culture, Senator Wheeler charged that
the chief obstacle to success for the
McNary- -Haugen bill was the unfriend-
ly attitude of the executive branch of
the government, and he named specifi-
cally Secretaries Mellon, Jardine and
Hoover.

inspectors, whose duty shall be to
check the stealing and butchering OF
cattle and to secure evidence that
will result in the conviction of such
cattle thieves as are caught.

ing resolutions: resolution pro-
testing against the placing of Mexi-
can labor on quota basis; a reso-
luton insisting on the use of Amer
lean beef by the U. S. army and

survey in ridding the state of preda
tory animals and requesting the sta-e
Legislature to increase the appropria-
tion for this purpose to $4,000;

AS he contended in committee, the
senator from Apache declared that
at least one of the measures would

contributions by employees of the

bill was considered on the floor as
Ieactionary to the alleged policies of
the present administration.
While under consideration in com.

GREAT BRITAIN
SENATE
RESERVATIONS
Replies From Various COun-
tries Conform To Geneva
Conference.
FIGHT is OVER
Senators Rejoice Or Regret,
Depending Upon Their
Attitude.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 up - The
United States and her sister world
powers appear to have come once
more to parting of the ways, this
time on the question of membership
in the world court.
Great Britain and several other
members of the court have sent to
Washington their long-awaited re-
plies to the American overture for
membership, and their views were
described at the state department
today as conforming closely to the
conclusions of the Geneva conference
which proposed modification of the
reservations adopted by the United
States senate
The senate itself, when it ratified
the court protocol, more than year
ago, stipulated that the other mem
bers must accept the American
reservations before American mem
bership could become effective and
President Coolidge recently announce
ed that if any foreign nation sought
notifications of the program, he
would look upon the whole negotia-
tion as a closed incident. Today
resolution proposing that the ratifiI
catin be rescinded was urged but it
quickly was laid on the shelf after
Chairman Borah of the foreign re-
lations committee had told his col
leagues the United States was out of
the court anyway and that no fur
ther action by the senate was needed.
When it later was disclosed that
several unfavorable replies to the
American note already were on file at
the state department., supporters and
opponents of the court agreed that
the long fight was over. Cloak room
discussion developed many express
sions of rejoicing and regret, colored
by the affiliations of the respective
senators with Moses of New Hamp-
shire proposing three lusty cheers
for John Bull the Savior of Amer
ica," Watson of Indian quoting the
scriptural injunction "let all the earth
be glad and rejoice with exceeding
great joy," Blease of South Caro-
lima contributing fervent "Thanl1
God for that" and Lenroot of Wis
consin, and other court supporters
consoling themselves with the state
ment that the senate reservations
were attached for the protection Of
the American attitude whether for
eign powers liked it or not. State
department officials, far from going
into details about replies received
from abroad, would not disclose the
names of the other nations adding
their voices to that of Great Britain
or even say how many had responded.
1t is assumed however, that the
British note was the forerunner of
a virtually unanimous objection
among members of the league of ma
tions to some of the language used
by the senate in it's reservations.
This objection, as it shaped up in
the Geneva conference was directed
at the reservation which
would have permitted American
from the court at any
time, and at the further senate stipu-
lation that advisory court opinions
on questions in which this country
claims an interest could not be given
without this country's consent.
