Weapon Against Insurgent-Democrat Coalition. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. President Coolidge has known that certain Congress do not meet proval, and the only now can be drawn i veto most of them. The President sent Lodge, Borah and s talked over with th legislative program an of adjournment. The Democrats have in ‘the last twenty-four hours indi- cated a change of front—they no longer feel that Congress should be terminated befors the political con- ventions. Their opportunities for tack and publicity and continued in- vestigation would be hampered, they feel, by falling in line with the Re- publican plan_of adjournment. Also there are too many bills in_which the insurgent Republicans and Democrat have w united interest and which the regular Republicans would like to lose in the shuffle. + The President is plainly dissatis- fied with the tax bill in its present shape. He hopes for a change in conference and will not announce an intention to veto the bill in advance of consideration of its merits after it comes to him. But 0 many of the reatures of the bi business, particularly that makes income tax returns nublic inspection, that a veto i3 rap- idly becoming probable.

Mr. Coolidge is going tn veto the immigration bill if it comes to him n its present form. The Japanese themselves do mot object to the prin- ciple of exclusion, for they are be- ginning to recosnize that it is an ccomomic question in the United states, and that every nation has a right ‘to exclude labor likely to be competitive with its own. But the Japanese insist that the method of accomplishing exclusion is an offense to them. Secretary Hughes favors agreement by treaty. S s the President S e Mr. Coolidge is trying to modification. It he falls he will b compelled to veto the measure and ask for the insertion of a clause de- aying the enforcement of the act so far as the Japanese are concerned, until a year or more has heen given for negotiation and ratification of a special treaty with Japan, Mr. Coolidge’s conferences with Senate leaders to point out the perils of the legislative situation have be- gun none too soon. The Republican lsadership has lost control of the Senate, and the exercise of the vete power alone will, at this time, affect the insurgent 'Republican alliance with the Democrats on specific Issues, AT W.

LONDON, May 7.—Prime Minister MacDonald reiterated in the House of Commons today thé statement that he was anxious for further steps to be taken for the ltmitation of naval armaments, but said he could not add anything to the re- marks he made in the House along these lines on April 30. The situation arose from a ques- tion by Commander Kenworthy, liberal member for Hull, asking if the pre- mier would propose a conference, with the United States, France, Japan and Great Britain s participants, for considering the limitation of naval armaments, especially regard- ing cruisers and ' submarines, outside the scope of the Washington agree- ment. y Mr. MacDonald sald he had observ- ed that the United States Senate had repeated a rider to the naval appro- priation bill asking for such a con- ference. “They have done it not only once, but twice, and 1 welcome it as a manifestation,” he said. Asked to give the House a chance of passing a similar resolution, the premier sald he would be very giad to, and perhaps a chance would be found in the course of the estimates. MARVELOUS!
