Simultaneously, administration qua! ters denied published reports (not carried by the Associated Press), that in the white house discussion last week between Hoover and Roosevelt, this question had become such a point of difference that the conference threatened to collapse. In the joint communique issued at the white house after the Hoover- Roosevelt. meeting, however, a point was made that the incoming admin- istration would be “glad” to discuss debts with a British representative,” but that the economic discussions als agreed upon would be carried on by British “representatives.” Some in a position to know say that Roosevelt's objection was against a debts: commission, but in- sisted that he did not move to dictate the size or personnel of the British ‘commission, whether one man or two; or three be placed upon it.

Jan. 23—(7)— ‘The “lame duck” amendment to the United States constitution received the required ratification of thirty- six states Monday when the Missouri | measure. The house, meeting four hours a-j head of schedule, completed ratifica-' tion by giving unanimous approval. American politics shook off the grip cf the stage-coach era with this twentieth amendment to the consti- tuoin which proclaims that hence- forth officials defeatell at the ballot box shall have little voice in govern- ment. In near record time, less than a year, 36 states have ratified the “Lame Suck” amendment. Congress bad taken ten years to agree on pro- Posing it. It will go into effect next Oct. 15, controlling the terms of con- gress and the president from then on, This is the first fundamental mod- ernization in the federal government since 1913, when the seventeenth amendment took election of senators from the legislatures and placed it directly in the hands of the people. Like that amendment, the twentieth is intended to make congress and the executive branch of government more quickly responsive to public opinion, What it does is this: The congress elected in November of any year will meet on Jan. 3 of the next year. The president elected in November will take office the following January. Contrast Is Marked Contrast that with the existing sys- tem, established in 1788: In De- cember, after the November elections the old congress, full of defeated members, comes back and legislates until March 4 when it goes out. The new president takes office on that date but unless he calls a special session, the new congress does not meet until next December, 13 months after election. Had the 20th amendment been in force last October, Franklin D. Roosevelt would be in the White House today and the new congress would %e at work in place of the present gathering, doomed to inef- fectuality. Chaotic confusion would result from an immediate transfer so fram- ers of the resolution provided for the Oct. 15 effective date. The old order was founded in the day of stage coach travel, when it took months for members from dis- tant parts to move themselves to the capital, and it took weeks at least for the election results to become known at the national center. It was clung to by the ultra-con- servatives who were fearful of too un- Mmited sway for public opinion; by those “lame ducks,” and members an- ticlpating defeat, who favored a long adjustment period during which they could look around for a new job while clinging to the federal payroll; by executive officials who found that de- desires than when the will of consti- tuents controlled them. ‘Tt was fought also by those who ob- Jected to unlimited sessions of con- gress. Among these was the late Nicholas Longworth, speaker and Re- publican chief of the house, who re- Peatedly killed the resolution.
