gument with Senator Walsh. De
mocrat, Montana, as to whether
the Carnegie fortune is behind
the movement for American ad
hesion to the court.
Senator Walsh said the official
organ of the Carnegie foundation
.had been silent, on the court
question and those in charge are
against the court, but. Senator
Heed replied:
"Cargl moy Is bhld ths.YttfOtll
"Carnegie money is behind this
propaganda and I will prove it
if you will let us hare the fun
you have asked for.
Senator Reed said it was time
for the American people to awake
"to the horrible fact", that there

ing the Leazue of Nations, to

Senator Reed continued his
speech throughout most of today's'
session. At one point he charged
that "a trade bad been made

House." and branded as 'disloy
al, the efforts of the court sup
porters to take the United States
across the seas to the affairs of
Europe." '
Turning to leaders In the fight

sition to permit action on the tax
reduction bill before a vote on the
court If the court opponents would
agree to a definite date for a final

pV-ader, said he believed an agree
ment would be reached before the
end of the day.
Negotiations for an agreement
to set February 10 for a vote on
the revenue bill and 10 days later
for final action on the court col
lapsed, at least temporarily, when
opponents of the tax bill notified
' leaders they would not accept a
definite date. 'Opponents of the
world court countered tbat they
would agree to no time for voting

Chairman Smoot of the finance
