Farly Vote On Court Assured By Limit Rule
The Senate used the drastic cloture rule to limit debate on the World Court issue ensuring a final vote within days. The cloture vote was 68 to 26, with party lines mixed and some opponents signaling continued opposition. The day included debate on protocol, the league of nations, and pressure from various groups, plus discussion of the Klan reference and religious tolerance. The House later advanced the navy appropriation bill of about 308 million dollars and proposed withholding 200 thousand for an all metal airship contract draft, prompting investigation by the Naval Affairs Committee.
