Insistence by the president for the delay in operation of the exclusion section was the reason given by the conferees for their unusual action. The provision, incorporated in the report of the conference committee which will be submitted to the house and senate, recommends insertion in tlie bill after the section excluding all aliens ineligible to citizenship, of the following clause: "This Subdivision shall not take effect as to exclusion until .March 3.' 3 925. before which time the presi dent is requested to negotiate with the Japanese government in relation lu the abrogation of the present agreement on this subject.” The president in hi3 discussions v. tii tlie runferenoe chairmen, house leaders and also Chairman I.odge of 1 t he senate foreign relatione commit tee. was said to have represented strongly that the administration would 3to hampered in its efforts to teach a solution of the problem by diplomatic means if the time avail : hie for negotiations was restricted to July 1. 1924. The executive's original proposal would have deferred statutory exclusions until March 1, 3 926, but, taking note of yesterday's action of tlb conferees, he today put iorward the March 3, 1925, proposal.

S.—Federal* Need Machine Gun* and Ammunition. Washington, May 7.—The Cuban government has purchased from the War department arms and ammuni tion valued at approximately $200. 000, it was officially announced to day. Two sales were made, each of $100,000. The first was concluded shortly after the Cuban revolt broke out and the second within the last few days. The request of the Cuban govern ment for airplanes was turned down by Secretary Weeks because existing law governing the sale #f war mate rials to Cuba does not cover aircraft. Furthermore, there are no surplus airplanes to be sold at present ex cept a small number that are badly in need of repairs. If the revolt grows more serious it is considered probable that other sales of war materials will be made to the Island government. At the present time the Cuban army is in need of machine guns, small arms and ammunition. Advices reaching the Cuban em bassy today indicated that the gov ernment was successfully holding the Insurgents in control. President Zayas. according to Cuban officials here, has the sym rathy of the majority of the popula tlon. The next move of the Cuban gov ernment, It was learned, will be to attempt to extradite Garcia Velez, lender of the Veterans and Patriots association, which Is working for the overthrow of the Zayas administra tion. Velez, who Is In New Turk, will fight extradition on the ground that he Is a political refugee. Other rev olutionary leaders are also known to be In New York. Garmen Lewis Improved.
