MUCH WORK FOR CONRESS
Much work on a great variety of
subjects, international and domestic,
is before the Sixty-sixth congress.
Politics is due to play a large part in
the events of the session, the last be
fore the nominating conventions of
next summer and the final campaign
in the fall. Leaders propose to have
congress recess for the conventions
and to work through afterward into
October.
Among the measures expected to be
completed soon are oil, coal, gas and
phosphate land leasing bill and the
Edge measure, authorising the forma
tion of corporations to finance Ameri
can export trade. Both hills are now
in conference.
Besides the treaty of Versailles, sev
eral other treaties are pending and
promise to evoke long senate debate.
Three treaties, the one guaranteeing
assistance to France in the event of
German aggression; that establishing
Poland and defining the Rhine fron
tier, and the long-pending $25,000,000
Colombian pact, are pending before
the foreign relations committee.
The peace treaty with Austria also
is expected to be ready for transmis
sion by the President soon. The com
mittee also has before it the resolu
tion of Republican Leader Lodge, pro
posing that congress, by concurrent
resolution, declare the war with Ger
many ended. This will be fought vig
orously by the administration. Early
action on the French treaty is not
planned by the committee majority,
hut the Polish treaty, the leaders say,
will be pressed.
A ... ~ ~ 4 i VI t DIM) O -
tional matters pending or in prospect
are the house bill to repeal the Cana
dian reciprocity treaty and' commer
cial conventions and trade extension
arrangements with the allies, the
enemy countries and other nations.
On the legislative calendar are
many measures already passed either
by senate or house. They include bills
establishing a federal budget system,
providing a permanent shipping pol
icy, regulating cold storage of food
products, and providing for develop
ment of water power.
Fiscal legislation promises to have
a prominent place in the work of con
gress. General tariff revision and
modification of the internal revenue
laws are planned before the political
campaign. Repeal of many war taxes
will be proposed, and antidumping
bills to protect American manufac
turers are pending. Permanent army
reorganization policies, incorporating
the moot question of universal train
ing, soon are to be brought out by the
senate and house military commit
tees, while the committees must pass
on a new building program and on
bills increasing the navy’s personnel
and its pay.
Prominent among the other meas
ures to be taken up are those dealing
with radical aliens and anarchists and
the high cost of living. Leaders also
plan to'give attention to means of
averting industrial strikes by federal
mediation or other methods. The
Lane-Mondell bill, embodying Secre
tary Lane’s plan of farms for soldiers
and sailors, also is up for passage, and
congress will attempt the revision of
several standing laws and repeal of
the espionage and other war meas
ures.
Numerous investigations also are
planned. Senate inquiries into Mexi
can affairs, and the coal, wheat and
sugar situations will continue, while
the house will carry on its investiga
tions of war department activities.
New investigations proposed in the
senate include that into the print
paper situation and into charges by
Senator Watson of-Indiana that So
cialists and radicals are in the employ
of the Federal Trade Commission. The
senate privileges and elections com
mittee plans to take up the contest
filed by Henry Ford against the elec
tion of Senator Newberry, Republican,
of Michigan.
Conferences of the Republicans and
the steering committees of both
parties are planned soon to fill com
mittee vacancies.
