"Judging from expressions I have heard from leaders on Imth sides. 1 do not believe we will have an extra ses sion of Congress. .Senators of long serv'ce, both Democrats and Republi cans. are outspoken against an extra session.” "Do you think you will he able to d'cpojf? of all pressing legislation dur ing Ihe short session?" "The present Congress has gone to work and we are consuming llille time in useless debate, ami I see no reason /*• hy matters of pressing Importance r;nmot he completed by the 4th day ol March. ” What Important legislation Go you think will be enacted at this session?’ “Jri (ho first place, the appropriation bills to meet the expenses of the gov ernment must necessarily be passed. They, however, consume little time in (Vhnte, as they are Ihoroghly discuss ed and prepared in the committee rooms before (hey reach either house of Congress. “The Nicaragua Canal bill lias al ready consumed some time and will probably consume several days more In discussion.
