KiiKcne Meyer, Jr., of New "ierk.
former head of the corporation, told
the committee the testimony of Secre

of compete Impotence in -the pmn

problem facing the farmers.

Agriculture Housten." Mr. Meyer also
charged that the secretary "In support
of his policy of inaction," continued te
make fctatements which arc Inexact.
Mr. Meyer contended that the war
finance corporation was designed te
relieve situations similar te the present
condition of the producers nnd asserted
that Secretary Housten did net under

there was no market for cotton.

The report of the committee en rein

in which I'Ord Itebert Cecil, speuking

Africa, came into conflict for the first
time in a full session of the assembly
with the Itritish delegation.
Iiril Hubert objected te the limita
tion upon the competence of the assem

(aid this would prevent the assembly
from considering such important ques

My tlie Associated Press
Washington, Dec. 0.
Anether,
peace-time estimate of nearly five bil

current yenr, but $211,000,000 less1
mnn tiie estimates submitted n year

Continuing wnr costs were directly
reflected throughout the estimates, Indi
cating that the government might be
en a four-blllleu-dollar basis for some
years te come, as cemparcfl with the
onc-billlen-dollnr maximum preceding
the war. The single item of Interest en
the public debt was almost the pre-war
maximum of all appropriations, this
total being $fl22,G,"0,00U. In addition
there was nn estimate of .$205,751,804
for the war debt sinking fund.
Of the individual departments, the
Army nnd Nnvy, ns usunl, nsked for the
greatest amounts, the estimate for the
military establishment being ?001),2"ri,
502, and for the naval establishment
0.'8,522,231.
The total estimates as given by Mr.
Housten follews: Legislative (Con

Heuse and government departments),
$125,448,370; judicial (Supreme
Court). $1,(1S0,215; Department of

$585,400,002; miscellaneous, $075,
154,741 ; permanent annuul appropria

These estimates, prepared by the
Democratic administration, are for the
operation of the government during the
first fiscal yenr of the new Republican
administration.
Sharp Cuts Forecast
Republican leaders in the Senate nnd

have our full part in the readjustment
of human affairs after the world
tumult. We have our tasys ut home,
we have our part in the Inevitable
work of the civilized world.
I nm sure thnt the necessity of wise
solution will inspire us te work to
gether te take common counsel, te be
tolerant of one another nnd give the
best which is in all of us te attain the
ends which become our republic nt
home nnd will maintuin Its high place
among the nations of the earth.
With propriety I cunnet venture
upon any suggestions new, even
though I nm speaking as a member
of this body. Three months of the
present administration remain and 1
would have house mid bennte join cor
dially in making them fruitful rather
than wasted months. There is se
much te be done and we have already
had se much of delay, that I should
like unanimous recognition thnt there
tire no party ends te serve, but preci
ous days are calling for sen ice te our
common country.
I cannot resist the repetition of my
regret that my association en this
fleer and in committee rooms is end
ing teduy. It hus been a happy nnd
n proud experience. let me express
the hope, te one and all, that though
there comes a change in official re
lationship, it will net interrupt our
co-operations nor deprive us of the
personal fellowship which I have
found te be n great compensation for
the sacrifices of conscientious public
service.
Gratified nt Reception
Before beginning his address from
the Vice President's rostrum. Senater
Harding, holding his eyeglasses and a
copy of his prepared address in his
hand, gave a brief extemporaneous
statement of gratification ever bis re
ception. He said it afforded him "nn
opportunity te snv te you rather in
formally some of the things that I want
te soy that I could probably utter in
no ether way."
Aft"r Senater Harding's address the
Henate adjourned without transacting
any business te await a communication
from President Wilsen.
Senater Harding was givena round
of applause us he entered the Senate

better view of the President-elect, who
entered from the Republican clo.iKreoin
with Senater Ledge. Mr. Harding v.ns

senators, who snoek his hnuu anil
idupped him upon the back. The PreM-dent-elect
welcomed his admirers with
u breud btnlle.
Galleries Tlllrd Kurly
The galleries of Congress begun te

and Speaker Glllett fell promptly ut

Prier te going te the Capitel Mr,
Harding hed a conference with Re
publican Senate leaders, when a de
cision was reached thnt he should speak.
The President-elect reached tht
Capitel sheitly after 11 o'clock, nnd
before calling nt ill sewn office went
te that of Senater Ledge, where they
remulned in conference for several min
utes. Mr. Ledge, with Senators New,
of Indiana, nnd Fall, of New Mexico,
had pallid ut the McLean lesidence just
before Senater Harding left, and they
rode with him te the Capitel, Senater
Fall went with Mr. Harding and Mr.
Ledge into the Republican leader's of
file and remained there during the con
ference. Aside from his senatorial colleegues
the first callers te be seen by the President-elect
were former Senators Weeks,
of Massachusetts, and Sutherland, of
Utah, both of whom have been his
close advisers since his nomination, and
who have been prominently mentioned
in gossip about cabinet appointments.
They called ut Mr. Ledge's office while
Mr. Harding was there and joined In

ment until tomorrow out of respect for
Heuse members who have died since
the closing of the last session In June
and te await the President's message

Other formalities en today's pregiam
were the swearing in of Scnnters Curter

unexpired term of the late Senater
Martin, and Senater ,f. Themas Heflin.
of Alabama, successor te the Inte Sena Sena
eor Bankhead. Several new Heuse mem
bers elected te fill vacancies ulse wcrC
te be sworn in.
Congratulation Already Effected
Beth Senate and Heuse expect te
rlunge immediately into work tomor
row, organization under Republican
control having been effected Inst spring
nt the first regulnr session of the pres
ent Congress. Committees were organ
ized, except for a few vacancies, and
enlargement of the Heuse appropria
tions committee from twenty-one te
thirty-five membeis under the new
Heu:r rule centralizing all appropria
tion bills in the committee.
The Senate'1 unfinished business,
pending nnd awaiting debate, with pro
tracted discussion in prospect, in
cluded the Kenyeu-ICendrick bill te
regulate the meut packers and ether ad
juncts of the llesteck industry. The
bill was expected te be the vehicle for
numerous speeches; and ether debate by
senators en political events, domestic
and foreign, nnd many ether subjects.
The Heuse also hud many bills waiting
en its calendar.
Bills providing a duty en wheat and
flour imports and regulating grain cx
cliances have ben finmed by Repie-
tentative Steenersen of .Minnesota, who
expected te introduce both measures to
day, in addition te his resolution au
thorizing the Federal Trade Commission
te investigate the nctivity of foreign
governments in the American grain
markets.
Duties of thirty cents per bushel en
wheat, $1.35 per barrel en flour unci
30 per cent ail valerem en semolina and
ether wheat nreducts arc provided fei
in one of Mr. Steenersen's bills. One
of the causes of the slump of wheat
nrlces. he declared today, was the dump
ing en Cnited States markets of mil
lions of bushels of wheat nnd wcveral
million barrels of flour from Cunadu
free of duty.
The measure designed te regulate
craln exchanges, provides that ergani
zatiens operating them shnll admit
groups of farmers organized en the co
operative principle en equal footing with
ether mumpers unu unuer line eeuui

Women from many sections of the
country have arrived in ashingten te
join the National League of Women
Voters' lobby for the furtherance of
the legislative program adopted by the
national league and indorsed by ten
of the leading women's organizations of
the country. During their stay in
Washington the women will be euter
tnlned by Mrs. Clifferd Pinchot.
An uncertain feature of the present
session was whether President Wilsen
would deliver his message in person or
send it te Congress Tuesduy. There
wus virtually no information regarding
the contents of the message but the
belief was prevalent that it would deal
with America's International relations
and pressing reconstiuctieu problems,
Including tnxatien. There also was
much speculation umeng members whe
ther the President would return the
Versailles treaty te the Senate.
Revenue and taxation (juestfens nre
te have early consideration of Senate
and Heuse leaders and committees, but
general sentiment appeared te be for
deferring action until after President
Harding's inauguration. Preliminary
work mi bills te revise tariff nnd in
ternal revenue probably will be sturted
during the present session, however, te
expedite action nt the new session.
Continuance of seieral old nnd the
launching of several new congressional
Investigations ulse are planned. The
Senate committee investigating housing
conditions and the Heuse body imiulr
Ing into shipping beard nftaiis uie te
be continued, according te present
pluns. The Semite committee, headed

Galvanized Beat Pumps
Harding te Take Time
in Forming Cabinet
Continued from 1'iwe One
the Senate. And their remaining In It
strengthens the legislative branch in
Its relations with the executive.
On the great question of the treaty
and the. League of Nations the President-elect
wlil find that the Republican
majority in the Sennte has already de
cided views. These views may coincide
closely with Harding's own, though It
is probable thnt the new President has
net definitely made up his mind en the
trenty and the league. He snld re
peatedly In the campaign that no one
man was wise enough te plan the asso
ciation of nations and thnt he would
wait for n conference of Republicans
nnd Democrats, men and women, the
best minds in America, before adopting
n policy.
He will find thnt the Republican ma
jority has net waited for that confer
ence. It has made up its mind. It is
rather definitely for a new association
of nations, in which, If any parts of
the present league appear, they will
appear under a changed nnme and much
nitered in substance and form. It likes
the Hague Tribunal for a starting point
for an international association. It
wants u court and n recodificatien of
International law and net much mere
of n constructive sort. It would reject
the Vcrsnllles treaty outright.
Senate Has Ambitions
The foreign relations committee of
the Senate has the ambition te make
the foreign policy of the I'nited States,
especially as it relates te the treaty nnd
the league. It is u natural ambition.
Senate committees have had that ambi
tion before und often realized it. And
quite naturally there gees with this
ambition net only the desire te held the
strong members of the Sennte together,
ns shown in the announced intentions
of Scnnters Ledge, Knox nnd New nl
ready referred te, but also a reluctance
te sec President Harding .surrounded by
tee big a cabinet. This reluctance may
net be entirely conscious, but it is
only human.
Mr. Reet ns secretary of state would
meke the foreign policy of the I'nited
Stutes. The Senate would be n mere
consulting and approving body. Mr.
Knox nlmest us much as Mr. Reet
would have his own mind en foreign
lelntiens. Se would cx-.lustice Hughes,
wdie. besides, does net work well with
I lie politicians. Mr. Hoever, if one
indulges in the unlikely notion thnt he
might be chief of the cnbinet, would be
a highly independent secretary. It is
human nature that the Senate leaders
would prefer another secretary of state
than any of these.
Harding Unknown Facter
In all that the Senate is doing, it
Is reckoning without its host. Mr.
Hnrding has net been en the scene. Ne
one pretends te knew what his inten
tions are in regard te u cabinet. Nc
ene pretends te knew what his mind is
with regard te the treaty and the
league. He has the Jeb of milking n
success of his administration, nnd this
involves mere than merely harmonious
relations with the Senate.
