Senate found a way to overcome this sort of opposition or .In,- the filibuster w.is justified. Senator Cole Mease '?i South Carolina, Democrat, and irreconcilable opponent of Ameri can eniranr. jnto t hp World Court, declined on Friday to per mit a unanimous consent agree* ? men t to be made whereby a vol ej could be taken on the World Court piMi'Tol en February lu. His objection alone stood in the way. It was all that was neces sary for one man can prevent a unanimous consent agreement. There's no tolling what other Sen ators might have objected K he . -had not bul, Judging by the ef forts made at the close ol the ses sion to net the South Carolina Senator to change his mind and withdraw h fa objection. It ap peared possible that the other foes of ih?? Court might finally permit a vote on the Court to be ^ taken. ?L \\ hen Senator Lenroot of WIs " consiu. administration lender in favor of i he World Court, circu lated a petition signed by 4H Sen ators who were ready to invoke the cloture rule, he secretly , hoped that would not be neces sary. So did many of the sign ers it tiu. Senate can curtail de rail* without applying the rule, the Senate would prefer to do so. Vei there is no doubt that the existence of the cloture rule is a threat that has Its Influence In forcing unanimous consent agree ments. .Mr. Daw? * criticized the Senate for failing to invoke the cloture rule on mor? occasions. Ills chief objection, of course, was to the situation that arises in the two or three days before a ?esslon of Congress Is due to expire by law. \ot the problem presented Saturday Is not very different for the demand of the country thai the tax bill be passed in time for the tax payers to make their In ? com? tax returns on March 15th nets a kind of d. ad line beyond which It Is unwise to debate any. thing.

Thinks Senate Will End Filibuster By Cloture l?y ItOHKItT T. KMAM. mi By tm ***??<?> Washington. Jan. 25. ? The United Stales Senat? ta about to demonstrate to Vic? President Daw?*s t hut it ran end a filibuster whenever it really desires to do so and can force a vote when a large majority of Senators desire -ic vote. ???? ? ?? This is the Senate's answer to the Vice President's chances that one man can tie the legislation of the country into double bow knots. It is the Senate demonstration of the fact that Its rules need not be changed. The Senate never will stand for the "steam roller" methoils In vogue in the House of Representatives and Senutors claim that la what Mr. 1)uwck I would force upon them if he could . have his way. All of which is probably true. Mr. Dawes al ways has been a fast worker. He would like to cut the sessions of [Congress to about three weeks each. One can easily sympathize with such an aim on the part of a man compelled to preside over the Senate day after day in the long drawn out debates. (ieneral Dames has failed to fathom, or in any event has failed to take into consideration, the dif ference between Senate rules and Senatorial courtewy. It is in fact Senatorial courtesy which permits Senators to get up aud talk for ever on every subject under the suu except the particular bit of business presumably before the body. This has been an age-long custom In the Senate. It Is a sort 'of gentlemen's agreement and if Senators choose to violate It. or ;take advantage of It. they alone [are responsible. - - . ? i The Senate always has had It tin Its power to end the debate on the World Court in short order. Senators simply have not cared to , Invoke the ruleB. It has permit ted the Rlease-Borah-Johnson ! Reed filibuster to proceed partly through Senatorial courtesy and 'partly through tho belief that It was better to let the opposlion wear Itself out than to clamp down the cloture gag. The filibuster has continued also. If the truth must be known, because there is no great zeal for the World Court in any part of the Senate. Senators favor it and favor it strongly, but only a few of them take It as a personal mat ter. Nearly every Senator favor lug the court ix willing to let the other Senator do the fighting for It. The Democrats, committee as a party for the court* have been more or less content to sit by and laugh at the troubles of the He publican leaders in trying to bring this "Coolidge policy" to a vote. Reluctantly the petition to end ? the debate has been brought for ward. Tho reluctance as already ' stated, Is due entirely to that old : precedent of Senatorial courtesy i the courtesy which giv?'s each Sen ator the right to be heard on every i Issue. There is no such courtesy In the House of Repmtentallves. There couldn't be. If 96 Senators, under courtesy rules can delay ac tion as they do. it is easy to Imag ine what 436 Representatives could accomplish under similar conditions. Vice President Dawes, noverthe I less, is about to see the Senate i function under Its own methods. PI KIM 'K HAMPTON DKAO i Pierce Hampton, for many years 'Representative of Currituck Coun \ ty In the (Ieneral Assembly at Ra leigh. and for a life time promi ! nent In the public affairs of the I county, died at his home at Water lllly at 11 o'clock Saturday night, according to word received here today.
