FORDNEY TARIFF ACCEPTED
WITH TEN AMENDMENTS
Washington, Jan. 15. Chairman
Potter, of the foreign affairs commit
tee, was instructed bv a unanimous ole
of his committee todaj to report favoi -nlilj
lo the House the llrooks disarma
ment resolution. It "authorizes and
empowers" Hie President to call the
nations nf the world Into a disarma
ment conferi'iice. without outlining any
kind of disarmament to be considered.
Air. Porter will ask Chairman Cnnip
I oil. iif the House rules committee, for
j special rule in order to get the men
lire before the House at an early date.
He declared it was his idea that, in
adopting the llrooks resolution. Congress
would be paving the way for President-elect
Harding to act in calling a
conference at once, provided Mr. Wil
son adhered to his purpose to do noth
ing that would embarrass tho incoming
administration.
Members discussing the measure in
the foreign affairs committee said it
would make it possible for Prpsldeut
Wilson, if In chooses, to cnll the con
ference without any fear of criticism
for impropriety.
Mason Amendment Defeated
Action of tiip committee came after
au amendment offered by Representa
tive Mason, nf Illinois, to make the
iuvitntinu extend to Ireland, Philippines
and India, bud been defeated !) to -.
Members of the committee declared Hie
adoption of the resolution would be be
reft of its purpose by bringing into it
u control orsiul matter.
Tin question of an appropriation was
discussed. The committee finally de
cided it bad no authority and that
mtnev would probably bo provided by
an amendment iu House or Senate.
It was pointed out that under the
Hcnsley ameiidment to the 1010 navy
appropriation bill WOO .000 was set
aside for ue by the President after tin
war iu calling nations to a conference
to discuss disarmament. The llrooks
resolution was indorsed yesterday by
(ieorge Harvey, nf Philadelphia, and
others of -the Society of Friends.
Although Democrats on the commit
tee voted to report the resolution to
the House, thpy questioned the pro
priety of requesting President Wilson
to act on the eve of his departure from
office. J,tcpro.cutativ.e t Connnlly. of
Texas, fleciarcd the proposal should bo
left over for consideration bv the new
President.
