Speech #610202244

That bill contained no reference to the question of issuance of stocks and bonds. and there was. therefore. in conference between the House and the Senate the question whether there should be any legislation in reference to the issuance of stocks and bonds. the House insisting upon the provisions in the bill making complete legislative provisions in reference to that subject. the Senate insisting upon no provisions upon the subject. It is clearly a case of proper compromise. whereone body insisted upon complete legislation and the other insisted upon no legislation. that they might provide a means of obtaining additional information in order to determine what legislation ought to be enacted. The matter is not open at all. The same question arose in reference to the immigration bill a few years ago. where on motion made in the House the provision in reference to restriction of immigration was stricken out of the bill. and an amendment providing for the appointment of a commission held in order.
