With Charles Evans Hughes he partici- pated in the negotiations of the Pan-American economic commission as representatives of this country.
 While travelling in foreign coun- tries MT. Porter assembled data on the housing facilities provided for American representatives abroad and he took leading part in sponsoring a bill recently passed by congress to provide new quarters for the American diplomats in the various countries.

and then with only four dissenting votes passed the compromise bill. Three mocrats-Lanahan and Johnson of Texas, and Milligan of Missouri-and the one farmer-labor member-Kvale of Minnesota-cast opposing votes.
 How soon the compromise meas ure could be sent to the White House was problematic. Senate leaders were hopeful of quick disposition, but believed that depended upon the intensity of the controversy. If the senate makes changes in the bill, these must be accepted by the house or the measure sent to conference, before it can go to President Hoover,
 As passed by the house the bill provides for pensions ranging from SIP to $40 monthly in accordance with the degree of disability.
 Additional compensation would be given those veterans so incapacitated that they require the attention of another person. A battle casualty clause was included which would give an additional S25 a month to veterans wounded in battle.

 Repayment Policy
 As 10 repayment, the sponsor of the loan idea does not favor a rigid rule. He suggests that return of the money be demanded when it is found that the maker of the noce has obtained employment which makes it possible to meet current expenses and pay off one or more dollars on the obligation. IL is a1- mitted that in some instances the city will not find it possible 10 col lect, but the commissioner believes the great majority will live up to the promise to meet the note.
 It is proposed to have the loan system supplement the program of relief for unemployed which con- templates operations on municipal projects. Commissioner Menus be- lieves many who are working only a few days week and who do not receive a weekly stipend large enough 10 support their families will be eager 10 take advantage of an opportunity to obtain small loans to tide them over.
 If the city uses all of the fund raised for unemployment relief in giving work. none will be returned to the treasury. whereas a municipal loan agency will accomplish practi- cally the same result and much of the money will be returned, he points out.
