That resolution is the same as the McCumber resolution which was passed in the Senate. as I recollect it. on the 1st of August. I was in the State Department yesterday and I asked the solicitor what progress they were making on it. and lie said they had not taken it up with foreign nations at all. but were still discussing it with the War Department. The statement was made by Senator CHA IBERLAIN when he tried to get his bill. somewhat similar to the one reported from the Immigration Committee of the House. up in the Senate that there would be an indefinite time in which to carry on the negotiations provided by the McCumber resolution. That the State Department has not proceeded further with that matter is no criticism. because It is a matter that takes time when it comes to negotiating with foreign powers. This bill is not in conflict. and so far as I am concerned I have no objection to the resolution that the gentleman from Minnesota refers to.
