Senate Delays Naval Bill and Kellogg Treaty Until After Holidays
After a two hour filibuster the Senate agreed to delay action on the Kellogg anti war treaty and the naval cruiser bill until after the Christmas recess. Both measures will be unfinished business January 3 with a vote on which to take up first. The plan aimed to prevent further delay and keep all business moving until adjournment. Curtis proposed a split consideration, but allies insisted the treaty be prioritized before naval legislation. The effort reflected deep partisan friction with Norris King Lafollette Nye and others aligning against immediate passage. The House meanwhile advanced the state and justice department appropriations bill as other matters waited for post holiday action.
