ARBITRATION PLAN
 FULLY SPONSORED
Senate Votes to Adopt Robinson
 Resolution

Washington, Jan. 26 (UP)-With adoption of the Robinson resolution advising arbitration of tho Mexican dispute. senate leaders appeared, today less apprehensive over the state departments Latin-A American policy. No further concerted con- gressional action was contemplated at present.
 Sporadic efforts will be made by individual opponents of the state de- partment's policies. however, to force withdrawal of American mar ines from Nicaragua and to restrict President Coolidge from using the armed forces of the country to pro- tect American interests abroad dur in the nin-emonth recess of congress starting March 4.
 Senator Frazier. republican. N. D.. intends to seek action upon his reso- lution specifying that the army, navy and marine corps could be sent abroad only by act of congress.
 A speech criticizing the Nicara- guan policies has been prepared for delivery this afternoon by Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, and Senator James A. Reed, democrat, Mo-, has announced he will express his opinion of Mexican and Nicara- guan affairs.
 The Robinson resolution was adopted by the astonishing vote of 79 to 0-not senator registering opposition. although several criticiz- preceded the vote late yesterday.
 The resolution has no binding ef- feet upon the administration and merely expressed the sense of the senate that the alien oil and land law dispute with Mexico should be submitted to arbitration. Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis, speaking for the administration made clear that there were many questions in volved in the Mexican dispute which could never be submitted to arbi- tration.
 No change in the attitude of the state department is contemplated because of the senate action, accord ing to authorities who were in O. sition to know.
 The resolution was adopted while Senator Norris, republican, Nebr., was out of the chamber and hence no vote was obtained upon his amendment saying that armed force could be used abroad only by act of congress Norris will exert his influence for the Frazier resolution which embodies the same idea.
 The Robinson resolution follows:
 "Resolver That while by virtue of sovereignty. the duty revolves upon this government to protect the lives and property of its nation in foreign countries, which duty is not to be neglected or disregarded, 1t is nevertheless sound policy. consist ent with the honor and best inter ests of the United States and pro- motive of international peace and good T~<ll, to submit to an arbitral tribunal. which shall apply the prin- ciples of international law, the con- troversies with Mexico relating to the alleged confiscation or impair ment of property of American na- tionals and corporations in Mexico; the arbitration agreement to pro-

increased efficiency and speed with
which the mon0type machines We're

Another Banker Notes Birthday

George J.. Starley, president of the
National Bank of Washington, reached
another milestone today, quietly oh
serving his fifty-eiehth birthday by
getting to his desk early and turning
off a large amount of work. Mr.
Starkey is one of the best known and
most active bankers in Washington
and has the distinction of being pres
ident of an institution which is 1l8
years old.
lie was elected to this position about
three years ago, when Clarence f.
Norment became chairman OF the
board, having been vice president
for about eight years previous to his
elevation to the presidency. lie has
been connected with the bank for 39
years, or. in other words, since Octo-
ber /, 1888. and of course was active
in the institution when it merged with
the Central National Bank in 1907
Mr.. Starkey's chief hobby is bank
ing and he takes very little time off
for vacations and recreation. But he
is extremely fond of the great out
doors, and nothing pleases him more
than long motor trips through the
country. On his farm i'm the rear
of his home, at 519 Michigan avenue
northeast. the banker has some sheep
that are the envy of the Agriculture
Department.
