First Time Iky Have Met In
Majority Caucus Roosa In
Eight Years.
Washington, March 5. Republican
leaders met today to organize the next
houso of representatives for the -business
of the first session of the Sixty
Sixth congress.
For the first time in eight years tho
republican committee on committees
met in the majority caucus room of the
houso office building, under tno leader
ship of Representative Mann, of Illin
ois. Until noon yesterday tms room,
was reserved for democratic gatherings.
The first business of the cemmitoe
on committees, which is made up of
3b" mcmbors, one from each republican
state delegation, is to choose & floor
leader and a steering committee of
which the floor loader will be chairmau.
Draw up Rough Program.
Tho next thing will be the assignment
of various members to tho various
house committee and the drawing up
of rough details of a legislative pro
gram, which the republicans hope to
start beforo the next congress is many
days old. '
The meetings of the comnnttoe may
continue for a week, Mann said today.
The one chosen floor, loador will bo
without assignment on any legislative
committee. Under tho democratic or
ganization, the chairman of tho ways
and means committee 'was the floor
leador, No republican today would ven
ture a prediction as to who woulS get
the job that ranks in importance with
tho speakership itself.
Mann May be Floor Leader.
Representative Mann, present floor
leader, said he will not have it. Rep
resentative Longworth, Ohio, is known
to be tho choico of Representative Gil
lotto, slated to bo next speaker. Others
mentioned are Representatives Moore,
Pennsylvania; Mondoll,. Wyoming and
Graham, Pennsylvania -

ability be choso under undor the senior
ity ruleby which the oldest republi
can on, a committoo in point of sorvico
will got tho chairmanship. This leaves
littlo in tho way of assigning outside
the placing of new members and the de
termination of tho proportion of demo
crats ami republicans on each com
mittee.
Tentative republican plans call forj
tho meeting of tho more important com
mittees, such as the ways and means,
appropriations, naval and military af
fairs, within tho next few weeks, to
draw up legislation for presentation
at the re-oponing of tho session.

to start the framing of a now tariff

President Believes People Of Nation Will Back Him In
Support Of Covenant Of Nations. Is Willing To Try
To Clear Up Points Not Understood By Congressmen,
But Apparently Does Not Intend To Amend Or Sep
arate League From Main Treaty With Germany.
By Bobert J. Bender
(United Press staff correspondent)
. New York, Mar. 5. President Wil
soin is igoing to a finish fight with the
senate republicans on (his league of
nations covenant.
In hiia final appeal to the people of
the country hore last night the presi
dent declared "an overwhelming ma
jority of the American people" favor
it.
"No party has a right to appropri
ate the league issuo. And no party will
in (the long run dare to oppose it."
This is tho conviction he carried back
to Franco with hiin today.
Nothing in his speech last night in
dicated the president proposed ro
amend the covenant or scparato it
from tho main treaty with Germany as
demanded by tho' senate republicans.
No Constructive Suggestion
On the contrary, the president de
clared that in the avalanche of criti
cism launched against the covenant in
the senate .there has been ' no coinrruc
tive suggestion" and "no counsel of
generosity." .
ilenco, ho Starts back to Franco to
day with no congressional amendment
to the covenant in hand end no con
cise idea of what the senate republi
cans want. There have boon scores of
I amendments to tho league
ague constitution
suggested but not ipassod 'by t'he sen
ate and suggestions for two different
league covenants offered one by Cum
mins and one by Knox but neither
taken up for passage and each differ
ing widely from 'tho other.
Nevertheless, the president 'has tak
en with him the main points of attack
on his coveMne and is expected to
suggest some clarification of articles,
wording of which has left the senators
doubtful as to their scope.

One Demands On China.
Washington, Mar, (3. Japanoso and
Chincso representatives issued a utate-
mcut to tho press today agreeing that
tho lcaguo of nations will settle oriental
problems, but taking contrary views
regarding the individual aspirations of
their individual countries.
Tho Chinese, assorting thoir claims
to Kiuo Chow and denouncing Japan's
21 demands on China, openly churgod
that Japah prevented China from join
ing tlio war in ivii ana luio. Aitor
China notified the allies that she de
sired to declare wah in 1914, it was
charged that she received intimations
from a "secret power" that such a
move would be likely to "create com
plications," Again in 1915, she was pre
pared to enter the war, but Japan re
fused to assent.
Endorses League.
Endorsing the league of nations as the
biggest achievement of all times, the
Chinoso statcmont concluded:
"We have known littlo groatness.
Maybe much that was lost will be re
gained under the international ordor in
which wo will be free to live our Lie
untrammolcd and uuthrentened by tho
type of stato Whoso material greatness
is based on, war."
The Japanoso statement was Issued
by Marquis Saionji in response to a
query regarding Japan 'a attitudo to
ward the league of nations.
Completely Sympatnctic.
Japan is completely sympathetic
with tho great project to establish
peace on a pust, impartiul and firm
basis.
' We view tho question as much from

As 65th DM Yesterday.
By L O. Martin.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, Mar. 5. With President
Wilson and congress both gone, tha
United Btates today found itself facing
an unprecedented situation. Never be
fore' in history hns a congress lett so
much undone as tho Sixty Fifth when
it quit yesterday, tho records show.
Government officials aro intently
seeking some way to prevent serious
consequences in muro than one direc
tion. Among the things congress loft ardi
Money for the Railroads.
By failing to pnss tho $750,000,000
railroad appropriation, tho senate, ac
cording to railroad administration offi
cials today, made it necessary for tho
roads to borow money at high rates
of interest from privato sources until
congress again convenes and meets &
$381,000,000 deficiency. Extensions
and betterments in servico will have to
bo foregone for tho present, officials
declared, because there is no money to
provide them.
Bringing tho Soldiers from Europe.
In the army appropriation bill, which
failed to pass, there wus an appropria
tion of $411,000,000 for the transporta
tion of the army. A part of this was
for bringing back tho soldiers now in
France. Congressmen touay pointed
out, however, that tho return of tho
army depends more on the speedy fin
ishing of tho peace conference than on
congressional appropriations.
Secretary Baker holds the viow that
congress somewhat delayed tho return
of troops from France.
