For instance. on the 24th of March last to a bill for the relief of starving women and children in Germany an amendment which was offered provided that the act should not take effect until the soldiers compensation legislation had become a law. The amendment was held not germane. Also. on April 12. Chairman SANDERS ruled that to an immigration bill an amendment dealing with foreign relations was not germane. to a bill regulating immigration an amendment restricting the operation of the act from conflict with tle socalled gentlemans agreement with Japan was held not germane. What does this amendment do? It seeks to authorize and direct the President to make an earnest effort to get the powers to agree to a limitation of armament.
