FUND BILL CONFEREES
RECONvENE TUESDAY
Expenses Of Capital City to Be
Discussed by Senate and
House Members.

Conferees in charge of the District
appropriation bill are expected to con-
vene again Tuesday morning to con-
tinue their discussion OF the points on
which the Senate and House differed
with regard to the expenses OF the Ma
tional Capital for the next fiscal year.
Although the conferees met yester-
day, they confined their elaboration to
detailed projects in the bill, leaving
until later the general question of how
much the Federal Government should
contribute toward the upkeep of the
Capital City. The House again this
year voted for a 9.o00, 900 lump sum as
the Federal share, but the Senate raised
this to $4,000, 900, after Senator Bing-
ham, Republican, OF Connecticut, had
cited facts gathered by the Bureau OF
Efficiency which the Senate appro-
priations committee believed justified an
increase in the Federal contribution.
Decisions were not reached yester-
day on any of the more important
amendments.

Control OF Work.

LONDON, February l6-Gen Ed
ward Higgins. new head Of the Saliva
ton Army, in an interview with the
Associated Press today outlined his
platform which projects wide demo-
cratic changes in the Salvation Army's
constitution and future government.
II intend Immediately ~ appoint a
commission Of q half dozen specialists
to consider changes which must be
made in the 1878 constitution deed 20
which the disputed 1904 deed poll Is

This will involve legal issues requir-
ing expert advice and the ultimate In
vocation OF an act OF Parliament. TO
effect changes winch will destroy one
man power over the army's temporal
affairs and put the constitutional foun-
dation of the army on 4 broader basis
forevermore."
For Broader Control.
There should be no reelection OF any
general, the new commander said. He
then explained that the constitutional
changes would include broader control
OF the srmys finances and property
The temporal side of the proposed
reforms is necessarily q British ques-
tion." he said They must be settled
here because the Army was constituted
under British law. But the American
Army funds will not be affected because
those funds are held under q separate
arrangement and apart from the
trusteeEhip OF Bramwell Booth.
But so far as the generalShip Is
concerned, that ONCE Is now open 10
men or women Of any nationality.
Il am not the general because ! am
British or because I was chief OF staff.
The Army Ia an International concern
and there Is no wish TO keep II dis
tinctly British.
Woman May BE Chief.
II also desire TO make IL clear that
a woman may some time be general OF
the Salvation Army. Every ONCE IN
the organization is open TO women on
the same basis as TO men and am
fully in accord with this principle
which was laid down by Gen William
Booth. the founder of the army"
Gen. Higgins said he had a soft spot
for America because all six of his
children were stationed In either the
United States or in Canada. He ex-
planned that he and Mrs. Higgins had
been looking forward to retirement this
year to a plot Of land which he owns
in Florida. He had hoped to ind time
there to learn TO play golf. The general
ship, however, had postponed that hope
indefinitely. -
II hope and pray" he said in con-
ciusion, that I may be worthy to carry
on the plan Of the founder that the
army should become the great church
Of the churchless."

REvIsroNs ARE SUGGESTED.
Kellogg Sees, However, No Opposition
to Porter Resolution Principle.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Kellogg yesterday told the
House foreign affairs committee that he
saw no objection to the principle of the
Porter resolution to empower the Presi-
dent to place an embargo on arms and
munitions shipments to belligerent ma
lions, but at the same time suggested
several revisions In the measure.
He proposed incorporation of q pro-
vision to authorize the Chief Executive
TO impose embargoes against any num-
Der OF warning countries to prevent an
unneutrai act from being committed by
this country. Power to revoke as well
as impose embargoes. he said, also
should be given the President.
Apparently referring to the Capper
resolution to empower the President to
declare as aggressor a violator of the
Kellogg anti-war treaty, the State De-
partment head said 1t would be an I'M
neutral act for the President to name
which OF two countries at war was the
asgressor. He said that for the Presi-
dent to declare embargoes against all
warning nations would not be an act in
violation OF neutrality.
The Porter proposal, the Secretary
continued, would involve the neutrality
policy OF the Government. If it were
enacted. he said, the Chief Executive
would have to consider many more
questions In placing embargoes In inter-
national conflicts than at the present.
Existing authority, he explained, pro-
vldeS for embargoes in event of domestic
violence In the countries of the Western
Hemisphere and where extraterritorial
rights are exercised
Value Is Doubted.
Expressing doubt over the value of
embargoes, Secretary Kellogg said after
the embargo was placed against China
that country continued to receive all
the arms and munitions she wanted,
Now, he said, the question Of the adj
visibility of lifting the embargo on
China is being considered
The policy Of this Government, he

Then came the day of greater human
ity and it was decided that laws should

on Sir Esmes statement Of Friday
there was tendency in Washington to
attribute it to domestic British politics
In which the Labor party as opposed to
the Baldwin Conservative party, now
In office, had assured the British tax
payer of an effort at naval limitation
II voted into ONCE 1t was assumed
that the Baldwin government was coun-
tering this Labor promise to the tax
payer with the same pledge and Sir
Austen Chamberlain's statement in the
House Of Commons had been made for
this reason.
In some quarters here a supposed
move by Great Britain for a naval
conference was welcomed In others 1T
was not believed that the British gov
eminent, with an approaching general
election, was taking the question of an
international parley seriously. This
theory proved to be correct. 1t was
based on the assumption that any seri-
Gus move in this direction would first
come to the United States Government
through the regular diplomatic chan
nels and not by way Of a newspaper

bassy here.
