PICKARD I TNLKSS the prognosticators Washington are wrong, the reduction, bill will he a law before reaches the reader. 'Uhe conference report on the measure was accepted hv the senate by a vote of 00 fn 0, and by the house by a vote of 370 to 0. Hacked by these overwhelming majori ties it went to the President, and con gressional leaders were confident that Mr. Coolidge would sign it. Hirst, of course, he asked the opinion of the Treasury department, whose experts analyzed thcwhill. It was said tlipt Secretary Mellon had at po time a ( d- vlsod tin* President to veto the meas ure and that he had come to the con elusion that it sfidid*! he signed as representing tin improvement over the old law. Of the six senators who voted against the conference report, four an* radicals—Hronklrart. Frazier. Norris and Johnson of Minnesota. The others were Ernst of Kentucky, and Meses of New Hampshire, .who favored the original Mellon plan. In the house the. (■HP'*’ ■- 1 - ‘ y • •> ' - ” - nine who voted in the negative were all Mel|o> plan supporters, and-rrll He publicans. They were; Fenn (t’onn.), Tllsort <('onn,), Merrit (t’onn.L Mills (N Y.). Wainw right (N. Y ). MeFad- den (Pad. Philips (Pa.). Hill (Md.).- and Moores (Ind.). Talk of n big deficit due to fbe bo nus lavv and tbe tax reduction provid ed for by the bill faded away.

S Tfl.L expressing his objections to the exclusion of Japanese by law instead of by treaty. President Cot»l- idge signed the immigration bill and it became a taw. He justified Ids acjion by the general excellence of the hill and the imperative need of the legis lation to take the place of the quota act of 1 ?i21. expiring on June 30. As to the Japanese exclusion, be said: ‘‘I gladly recognize that the/enact ment of this provision docs not imply any change ill our ser.timenr of admi ral ion and cordial friendship for the Japanese - pcrrpte;' a senpnicmt vvhlcii lias hud. - a?S7t will continue to have, I abundant manifestation. The bill i rather expresses the determination of i the congress to exercise if s preroga- •tive in definingXv legislation the con- i trol of immigration; instead of leaving it to International arrangements.” I ' Over'Tff 4 Tapan fnT’s'gnifig of the lull, though no surprise,, was the signal for I great ptd'mrsts of indignation. A for mal .protest against the exclusion clauses- was drafted, approved by the j cabinet and cabled to Ambassador .Hanihara for presentation to Secre- 4acy~ Hughes. It is a dignified protest, based on the alleged violation of an existing treaty with the United States —the gentlemen’s agreement.

The fight on I>r. Harry Kniiner- son Fosdick was renewed, with Wil liam Jennings Bryan as its leader. Tiie Methodist conference; by a de cisive vote, lifted the ban upon amuse ments, except “those which cannot be used in tLe name of the-+jord Jesus.” The definltionsUiven in the special ad vices in the discipline were altered to read: . “We lift up a solemn note of warn ing and entreaty particularly against attendance upon immoral, quostibna- Ide and misleading theatrical and mo tion-picture performances. 1 * A proposal to change the Apostles' creed, substituting the words ■''Qhrisi’s Holy Chupch" for "the Holy (.’atliolic t'hurch,” was rejected by a close vote.
