There was a difference of opinion as to whether the president bad such authority now. Wants Conference. The hope was expressed by Mr. Mondell that a conference of nations would be called before the close of the present session of congres "for manv reasons, well tind rstood by alt those u have given the matter consideration," said Mr. Mondell, "It is entirely fitting and proper that suggestions for negotiation on the fTJbJect of reduc- ! tion of armament should originate .action snouni oe uKtn aiotm uiescj lines until we shall have arrived at a condition in our foreign relationship in TV. ich our motives and purposes may not be misunderstood or misconstrued."

Asked pointedly by Mr. Flocd why he did not brir.ff the Brooks resolution to a vote, months ago, Mr. Mondell declared he did not regard Its passage as wise. "The republicans are delaying consideration today in the face of committee action and the country holds you responsible," Mr. Flocd retaliated. Most of the democrats who fought for inclusion of the disarmament proposals stood up however and voted for the bill. Try NEWS-TIMES Want Adi
