Early Action Expected Washington. Feb. 1(1—Annmvpil liv the finance committee, 8 to 3, the bill passed Friday by the house giving congressional sanction to the British debt settlement agreement was re ported formally today to the senate. < halrman McCumber Indicated that it was his intention to call the meas ure up the middle of next week, but whether it would be possible to dis place at this time the administration shipping bill, now the unfinished busi ness of the senate, remained lo be de veloped. Ono republican, I.a Follette, Wis consin, and two democrats. Walsh, Massachusetts and Gery. lthode Is land, voted against the bill in com mittee, while ono democrat, Wil liams, Mississippi, ./Supported it. The seven republicans voting for a favorable report, were McCumber, North Dakota; Smoot, Utah; Watson, Indiana; Curtis, Kansas; Dillingham, Vermont; Calder, New York, and Fre linghuysen. New Jersey. , e A brief hearing on the bill was held the committee behind closed doors, Venator Smoot, a member of the American debt commission, going into some details of the negotiations with the British commission. Wanted More Information. Some committeemen thought more information than supplied by Mr. Smoot should bo sought before the committee acted but they were out voted. Senator Walsh wanted the record of the negotiations brought be fore the committee, while Senator I.a Follette sought to summon Elliot ■Wadsworth, assistant secretary of the treasury, and secretary of the com mission. Senator Smoot was reported to nave told the committee that the agreement entered into was a modification of the original American proposal, which contemplated a flat interest rate of 3 1-2 per cent over the entire period the loan was to run. This was unac ceptable to the British government and the terms finally agreed upon—3 per cent for the first 10 years and 3 1-2 per cent thereafter—then were proposed. Refuse to Delay Note. After the request, of Senator Reed. , democrat, Missouri, Senator Walsh re qu sted Uwtt the vote be deferred until next Thursday when Senator Tteed expects to return to Washing ton. hut repiublican leaders wanted to get the measure on the senate calen dar Immediately. They did agree, however, not' to call i; up in the sen ate until Senator Reed returned. Committee democrats opposing the legislation agreed to not resort to ob structive tactics during senate consid eration of the bill and republican lead ers were hopeful of getting a vote after debate of one or two days. There were some Indications, how • ver, that the discussion would b« rather general and that several sena tors s^ulil insist upon more Infer rnation regarding the debt negotia t ions than has been made public. Only one minor change was mad in the house bill. This is in altera tion of text and the expectation was that if it should be approved by the senate the house would accept it wlth i ut sending the measure to conferees and thus delaying final congressional action.
