Wood, republican, of In- diana, and defended as the best agen- cii* for assimilating aliens, weeding ouc evil propaganda and developing patriotism by Representatives Mann of Iilinois, Reed of New York, Cramton of Michigan, Begg of Ohio and Bu- chanan of Texas, the House, by §3 to 39, yesterday voted $35,000 for such activities during the next-fiscal year: The House action was on an amend- ment by Representative Mann. The House bill had originally contained .$35,000 for the community centers, but it was stricken out on a point of Zorder. The Senate imserted $15.000, “and limited these activities to educa- tional work. Mr. Mann's amendment would . make ~the $35,000 ~payable * wholly from the revenues of the Dis- trict, and puts a limit of 60 per cent on the amount that may be spent on salaries. s Principal Change in BilL This'was the principal amendment by the House yesterday to the confer- ence report on the District appropri: tion bill.

Harding asserted, is generally recognized as having pass- €d the crisis and in looking to the future “a spirit of greater confidence provails.” As the year closed, he id, there were many indications that business generally was beginning to adjust itself to new conditions and “was preparing to proceeed on a sounder and saner basis.” Overflow of Securities. “Bécause of the accumulation of foreign commodities, however, for which there is no market,” Gov.

Adding to these transactions the bills purchased and allotted to other federal reserve banks by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the governor said the total in- terdistrict movement of bills during the year aggregated $4.403.656,000, as compared with $3.397.758,000 for 1919, and $835,498.000 for 1918.

HOUSTON ACTS TO STOP LOAN INJUNCTION Gives Eight Reasons Why Hearst Suit Should Be Dismissed by Court. David F. Houston, Secretary of the Treasury, has filed in the District Su-| preme Court a motion to dismiss the| injunction suit brought by William| Randolph Hearst to prevent the mak- | ing of future loans to foreign gov- ernments. The fhotion will be argued next Monday before Justice Hitz. United States Attormey Laskey ap- pears for the Secretary Eight reasons are assigned why the court should not entertain the appli- cation of Mr. Hearst. The plaintiff does not show sufficient pecuniary in-{ terest in the subject matter of thej suit, it is claimed; and as a taxpayer! he has no legal or equitable interest in the controversy. The suit is really against the government of the Unit- ed States, which has not consented to be sued and has not been made a iparty to the proceeding, it is urged. Mr. Houston individually has no in- terest in the suit, but is sued only in his official capacity and a decree would be virtually against the United States. i it'is apparent, upon the face of the bill, the Secretary says, that the suit is nothing more than an’ appeal to thel courts to exercise governmental pow- lers which belong exclusively to the | Congress. inally, Secretary Hous- | ton asks the dismissal because by the Itrue and lawful construction of $he | power and authority vested in the d. | fendant as Secretary of the Treasu he has in his official capacity the right and power to do the acts complained of in the bill of complaint, as he may be advised. RESIGNS AFTER 21 YEARS. After almost twenty-one years in the government service, George V. Newton of Sedalia, Mo., deputy commissioner in charge of the income tax unit of the bureau of internal revenue, has ndered his resignation to Commi of Internal Revenue Williams. Mr. Newton will enter private busines shortly after leaving the government.
