MAC MURRAY ABLE
Agent OF u. 5. A.
Directs American Affairs in
China Now

Washington. May rs P-Ameri-
can interests in China. where seeth-
ing civil war is endangering the
lives and property OF foreigners. are
in the hands OF an able and eXper-
fenced American official with a cool
head.
Twelve years OF direct contact
with Chinese and japanese affairs
have formidably-fitted the American
minister to China. John Van Ant
werp MacMurray of Princeton, n.
j., for his task. In him President
Coolidge and Secretary kellogg
place the utmost confidence. AL
though only 46 years old, he has
rad wide experience in Oriental af-
fairs and has served as a foreign
service officer in the near east
Diplomatic and consular work
has occupied MacMurray most of
the time he has been in the service
since March. 1907, He won degrees
at Princeton IN 1902 and 1907 and
graduated in law at Columbia Uni
versity. He became secretary OF le-
cation at Picking in 1918, serving
four years, after which he was conn
selor at Tokyo and charge d affalres
at Picking. He then came to Wash
ington as Far Eastern expert, be-
coming chief of that division.
During the Washington arma-
ment conference MacMurray was
IN expert assistant and became prin-
cipal observer in behalf OF the
American government at the con-
versations between the Chinese and
Japanese Representatives in the set
Element of the Shantung question
He became an assistant secretary of
state in 1924 and the next year was
appointed minister to China.
At Picking he recently achieved a
diplomatic triumph in the settle
ment of the Marking affair between
the nationalist representatives and
the United States, while efforts of
the British and japanese govern
ments to settle their differences in
connection with that affair thus far
have failed.
MacMurray visited the United
States last year to confer on Chinese
affairs with his superiors, and it
was while he was here that the
basis Of the Marking agreement was
worked out by him and State De-
partment officials.

wAsH1NGToN.-what happens

WASHINGTON happens
when a bill is introduced in congress?
Plenty All sorts of sieves await it
and if it can get itself made law in
the face of controversy, it may con-
slider itself lucky. Many persons have
forgotten just how bill becomes a
law, so here's how:
First the bill is dropped into a
basket on the speakers desk and be-
comes introduced. The bill clerk then
takes it, numbers it and sends it to
the government printing office, where
it is printed Copies are then re-
turned to the house and senate docu-
ment rooms.
1t is then referred to the committee
which handles legislative preliminaries
for measures of it's general nature and
the committee clerk gives it a date on
the calendar. The committee decides
to have hearings on the bill and noti-
fies all interested Sarties so that they
may present their arguments for or
against
After the hearing, it is referred to
a subcommittee which reads the
hearing records, generally changes the
text and perhaps the sense, and re-
ports back to the committee whether
the bill ought to have consideration
or not The committee may then
adopt the bill or disapprove it.
If decision is favorable, the chair
man renorts the bill to the house.
Many bills die in committee, but as
suming that our bill gets through, II
is sent to the speakers desk. The
bill clerk gives 1t report number, 1t
