Congress contends with a pending end date as April 30 nears. Senator Morgan of Alabama rails against the canal zone plan, likening it to a military reserve and condemning the move as a sham of civil governance. The House passes the Philippine bill favoring rail projects funded by Filipinos, prompting criticism of imperial policy and public-works spending.
