It i predicted that the bouse will duplicate the senates action, making the bill a law. President Wilson, in a veto message, declaredTie withheld his approval because the war finance corporation was a war credit agency, not desirable or needed in peace times. He said it "would exert no beneficial influence on the situation would ' raise false hopes among the people who would expect most, and would be hurtful to , the natural and orderly processes of business and finance. The legislation, he also said, would result in additional credit burdens, and the government, he contended, should not be called upon further to finance private business at public expense. Referring to widespread demand for abolishment of war agencies and removal of governmental influence from business, the president said . he had sympathy with, this view, "and added that the nation should resume its usual businesg methods. Upon reading of the veto message, Senator Underwood of Alabama, Democratic leader, urged its,. immediate consideration, for which unanimous consent was secured by Chairman Gronna of the agricultural committee. Senator Underwood followed with the only address, declaring financial now was greater than during the ' war and that he of wise-- ' administration of the proposed law that would, cause no undue drain on . the treasury.

Dr. Theobold von - Bethmanformer German chancellor, died January 1 after a brief illness, on his estate at Hohenfinnow, near Berlin. ; Among the most prominent activiwas ties of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollwehis testimony In 1919 as a witness before national assembly committees investigating responsibility for the war. His testimony brought out he had opposed submarine warfare and had issued warnings not to underestimate Americas strength. One of the most famous utterances during the war was that concerning a scrap of paper as - regarded the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium. This treaty was so characdurterized by Von Bethmann-Hollweing an Interview with Sir Edward Goshen, British ambassador to Germany. The chancellor expressed his inability to understand Great Britains attitude with regard to Germanys attack on Belgium. s' Dr. von Bethmann-Hollwe- g received prominent attention in June, 1919, when he asked the allied and. associated powers to place him on trial instead of the former kaiser. The supreme council ignored his request. Bethmann-HollweDr. von 'was Chancellor of Germany from July.. 4, 1909, to July 14, 1917. He was succeeded by Dr. George Michaelis, an appointee of the former kaiser. It was . was said Von Bethmann-Hollwe- g forced out of office through efforts of the militarists, headed by Hlnden-burand Ludendorff, largely because of his scrap of paper statement and his admission that German 'invasion of Belgium was unjust. The former chancellor had on several occasions issued statements blaming the militarists for the war, while previously he had declared England was responsible. n-Hollweg, g g g DISCUSS FINANCIAL TOPICS.

Railroads of tlfe country will be prohibited from buying equipment from companies In which they or their officers ere interested, as the result of the veto on December 30 by President Wilson of a bill to delay further the operation of such a prohibitory provision. in the Clayton antitrust 'act. .The last of three separate two-yesuspensions of the prohibi-togyf- ! section expired December 31, at : mWiSght. V V si?" vTbe president, - in --Ano&iucln-hls veto through a message to the senate, declared the railroads had been given several extensions of time to prepare for observance of the law and that no adequate reasons had been presented for further postponement of its operation. Railroad representatives, on learning of the presidential veto, which overrode a recommendation of the interstate commerce commission that the bill be approved, declared failure to suspend further the operation of the Clayton act provision would mean a drastic and immediate revision of carriers system of buying equipment. The contention also was rade by the railroad representatives that the required ehange would add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cost of railroad operation. President Wilson in his veto message said that the principle of prohibiting railroads' from being both buyers and sellers of their railroad supplies was sound, and that with the interstate commerce commission prepared to enforce the law by preparation of regulations he' could not consent to further delay. . ' - and Walsh Plans Before Foreign Relations Committee. Administration Said to Look Askance at Suggestions. Washington. The proposal of agreement on the reduction of naval armament will be taken up by the foreign relations committee of the senate, when it will consider the two following resolutions: By Senator Borah directing the president to negotiate with Great Britain and Japan for a 50 per cent reduction of naval appropriations by the three powers for five years. . By Senator Walsh, of Montana, re questing the president to name delegates to act with the league of nations commission on disarmament. source From one -- administration comes the opinion that the president sustains Secretary Daniels contention that the only sure method of promoting disarmament is through the league of nations and that Mr. Wilson regards the Borah resolution as a scheme to discredit of the Irreconcilables future processes of action. It Is believed that the president favors the tValsii resolution, for he notified the league he could not appoint members of the disarmament commission on account of lack of authority occasioned by the failure of the United States to accept the covenant The Walsh resolution, however, stands no show of receiving favorable action by the committee. Senator Borah is confident that his resolution will be reported favorably, although there is a disposition on the part of some Republican senators to withhold action on the measure until the Harding administration comes in and the new president enunciates his foreign policy.
