I will not take time to discuss the point of order further than to say that there is no Senate rule upon the subject. and never has been. The Senate has decided the question of new matter in a conference report on its merits and it has decided it in different ways. I may recall one rather important occasion. the famous passport amendment. I say "famous " because it has been referred to here many times. That amendment. which. settled the question of the Japanese immigration. was put into a conference report. There was not one word on the subject in the bill. It was put in and agreed to by the Senate as an emergency necessity.
