THE EVENI FUTILE, 1S OPINION | L_sorew = w11 BROOKHART AGAIN ON EXTRA SESSION Longworth Does Not Expect Coolidge to Call Con- gress, He Says. Little likelihood looms of an. extra Ression of Congress being called by President Coolidge, in the opinion of Representative Longworth of Ohlo, Speaker of the next House, who was n conference with the President at the White House today. Representative Longworth can see ho reason now for summoning Con- gress to Washington before the regu- Jar time, and he is inclined to think that the President is of the .same mind. He appreciates the anxiety on the part of many party leaders and others to get an early start on legis- Jation to further tax reductions, but does not believe that an extra session would be any help. ““The and means committee will mee Mr. Longworth sald, “early in the Fall, and from that time on until Congress convenes this com- mittee, under the leadership of Chair- en of Towa, will be busily in framing the tax reduction legislation. This committee can work better with Congress not in session, fnasmuch as its membership will have no interruptions, which would be the case if Congress was meeting.” Confident of Action. Mr. Longworth feels confident that the House will have disposed of the tax.reduction question before the mid- dle of January, and that the Senate will then have disposed of the World Court question and will be ready resume tax reduction discussion Senator McNary of Oregon con- ferred with President Coolidge today relative to an appointment to the Tnited States Shipping Board wh Benjamin Haney of Oregon resigns, which is expected to be the last of June. Senator McNary said that Oregon always has been represented on the Shipping Board, and although he has no one in mind for Mr. Haney's place at this time the object of his call today was to seek a promise from the President that Oregon again will be given an appointment President Coolidge’s conference with Senator Borah, chairman of the for- eign relations committee, late yester- day afternoon was looked on as an- other definite step in arranging for an international conference on naval armament, which the President de- gires to hold some time in the Fall, if possible. The ldaho Senator sald after his talk with Mr. Coolidge that he was heartily in faver of another arms| confel and that he wished to do All he could to promote its success. | He has long been convinced that ting down of great armaments necessity, not only for world peace, but also as a means of lifgng some | of the heavy burdens of taxation which standing armies and immense fleets have involved While Senator Borah is anxious to do everything he can to bring about another conference and to assure its success, he maintains that public pinion throughout the world can ac- complish more in bringing about the | end desired than can diplomacy. In| this position he shares the view of | one school here which scer vinced that international ass: will mean nothing unless public fon in various countries ucated to a point where it will de- mand that armament be brought down | to the minimum necessary for self- protection. He said also that not much can be accomplished unless Russia is recognized and invited to participate. COMMISSION CONVENES. ‘ ‘Will Make Report on Preserving Civil War Battlefields.
