CONGRESS QUITS AFTER ic ENACTING LEGISLATION * Peace With Central Power* And Re- t construction Laws Were Principal Achievement*. Washington, Nov. 25.?Establishment of a technical status of peace E with the former Central powers and c enactment of a long train of recon- b struction legislation were the prin- f cipal achievements of the extra ses- P sion of the Sixty-Seventh Congress, 5 "which ended late yesterday. F Called soon after President Hard- ^ ing's inauguration, virtually . all of 0 the executive's legislative requests made in his open address at a joint - a * - j - j rm a ssesion April ?z, were neeaea. xne principal requests of the President e' were adoption of fche Knox peace c; resolution, provision for peace treaties, tax and triff revison legisla- li tion, and consideration of a new de- ir partment of public welfare. Only on a< the latter was no definite action tak- oi en,, except - for public hearings and $ I . introduction of 'bills. fejr? *' ' *' ' I The peace resolution was the first d' concern of the extra session. The bi Knox measure whose author Senator c< : > Knox, Republican, 'Pennsylvania, e< died suddenly October 12, was adopted by the Senate April 30 and by the tl House in amended form June 13, the final draft being enacted July' 1. aj Peace treaties with Germany, Aus- a; I-' '' tria and Hungary followed shortly ^ and were ratified October 18. ' k - Another step was taken early in tl the session was ratification by the w Senate Anril 20 of the long delayed $ $25,000,000 Colombian treaty. g Of domestic interest, fiscal legisla- f< tion was prominent, \vith passage of 31 the tax revision <bill the most import- b ant achievement. The permanent tar- si iff revision bill was taken ^up first T and passed by the House, but was tl k laid aside by, the Senate until the c ? . next session in order that the tax measure could be enacted. "Congress also foun^r time t| enact many other important ? reconstruc- h I v tion measures. Besides passing appropriation (bills aggregating nearly T $800,000,000, ncluding ' the regular tl >'fj army and.^ ^avy supply measures e1 which were left over from the pre- F vious session, some of the more im- o: portant measures passed during the K . 4xtra session were: ?
