NEWS REVIEW OF

Smith of Illinois Is Barred
From the Senate—More
Money for Army.
By EDWARD w. PICKARD

SMITH, senator-elect and
Ilinols, is

tee on privileges and elections has
passed his qualifications, By a
vote of 48 to 33 the senate on Thurs-
day withheld the eath eof from

ing Smith, and 15 Republicans and 32
Democrats against him. Mr. Smith ap-
peared In the senate chamber Wednes-
day and submitted his credentials in
the form of an appointment by Gov-
ernor Small. Senator Deneen of 1ii-
nois at once moved that Smith be
sworn in pending reference of the
charges against him to the privileges
and elections committee. Senator
Reed of Missouri moved that the oath
be withheld temporarily, contending
tuat Smith's disqualification already
had been established by the investi
gation of the Illinois primary slush
fund scandal conducted by the special
committee of which Reed Is chairman.
General debate on the matter was
thus opened, and for hours the sena-
tors discussed the problem, some hold:
ing that the senate had no power
over Smith until he became a mem-
ber, and others demanding that he be
refused the oath of office. Constitu-
tional points were argued and prece-
dents brought forward: and while nat-
urally no one defended Smith's accept-
ance of campaign funds from Sam
Insull, public utilities magnate, the
number of those who defended his
right to be sworn in was rather sur-
prising. Next day the debate was
resumed and a vote taken, with the
result noted above. The committee's
inquiry may not be completed for sev-
eral weeks, possibly not before March
4, so there Is little chance for Smith
to get in this session. The vote
seemed to make it certain he will be
barred also by the new senate.

RESIDENT COOLIDGE'S economy
program for the army was knocked
galley-west by the house, which ap-
proved of appropriations totaling $2
612,674 for the strictly military activi-
ties of the War department. This
makes avallable $0.477.000 more than
was recommended by the budget bu-
reau. One provision maintains the en-
listed personnel strength of the army
at 118750. Other sections increase
the army ration allowance from 33.74
cents a day per man to approximately
40 cents a day by adding $2.688.530 to
the budget's estimates, provide for the
purchase of 1.000 more horses and 725
more mules than the budget would
have allowed, provide $042.530 more
for National Guard activities, $446,
878 more for the organized reserves,
and $382,410 more for the operation
of citizens’ military training camps
than the budget recommended,
“Big navy” advocates in the senate
appropriations committee carried on
the fight for construction of three
light cruisers, that was just barely
lost In the house, and the committee
amended the house navy supply bill
by including that feature, Increasing
the total voted by the lower chamber
by $5,207 854.
This was highly pleasing to the
strong national defense advocates, but
word came promptly from the White
House that the President would veto
the bill If it went to him carrying the
provision for bullding additional eruls-
ers this year. He still feels that this
would be a step toward precipitating
another naval armament race and
would be a violation of the spirit of the
Washington arms treaty,
Y A vote of 50 to 84, six short of
the necessary two-thirds, the sen.
ate rejected the Lausanne treaty with
Turkey, for the ratification of which a
long and earnest campaign had been
carried on’ and which had been de-
bated for many hours In executive ses.
sion, The treaty was sponsored by
the administration and supported by
Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, Swan-
son and King led the opposition,
tending that the pact gives up histori
guarantees of justice for Americans in
Turkey without securing adequate
safeguards in their place, that it in
effect acquiesces In the Turkish re
fusal to recognize American naturall-
zation laws in so far they affect
Turks who return to their native land;
that it falls adequately to protect the
charitable and philanthropic enter
prises of Americans in Turkey, and
that it abandons Armenia, notwith

ECLARING that governmental as
sistance is necessary in dealing
with the agricultural problem, the
bouse committee on agriculture re
ported favorably the Haugen farm re-
lef bill. Speaking for the committee,
Chairman Haugen said: “The big
problems of American agriculture to-
day are beyond the power of individ
ual farmers or of their relatively small
organizations to solwe. These prob
lems arise because the prices of farm
products are uncertain and unprofit
able due (1) to seasonal variations in
vield and (2) to’ competition with the
products of European and Asiatic
peasant labor and of pew lands with
lew production costs,
“The best judgment is that the rem-
edy will be found (1) In
products over from fat years to
years aud equating a price
supply and demand over a period of
years rather than for one year, and (2)
in managing

“To do these things requires

he opinion was in the case of Mal
8. Daugherty, brother ef the former
attorney general, and he was remand-
ed to the custody of the senate’s ser-
geant at arms, Members of the senate
interpreted the finding as ample
grounds for the punishment of Sam-
uel Insull, utilities magnate; State's
Attorney Robert E. Crowe, and Ed-
ward H. Wright, colored member of
the Illinois state commerce commis
sion, all of Chicago, for their refusal to
testify during the investigation of the
recent lllinois senatorial primary.
HATEVER may be the outcome
of his other troubles, President
Calles of Mexico has succeeded in one
of his aims. He has conquered the
hitherto unconquerable Yaqui Indians
of Sonora. Their leaders, Including
Chief Luls Matus and eight governors
of pueblos, presented to General Man-
zo, commander of the federal troops,
a document offering to surrender un-
conditionally, to give up their arms
and to support the government in its
fight against its enemies, This offer
was accepted by President Calles and
Minister of War Amaro. The Yaquis,
who were short of money, food and
ammunition, sald they had been de-
ceived by the De la Huerta party and
by agents in the United States and
induced to rebel. The war against
them lasted six months and the gov.
ernment built a great military road
300 miles long that completely sur
rounded the Indians in the Bacatete
mountain region,
