Senate and House Debate Philippine Policy and Immigrant Reform
The Senate devoted brief time to the engine government bill as Dollivar spoke for it. The House passed the naval bill enabling half the vessels to be built in government yards and removed the 4 percent differential for Pacific builders, leveling competition with eastern yards. Debate touched Cuba, the Philippines, and Cuba’s independence, with senators like Bacon and Foraker weighing in. The House sent a Cuba congratulatory resolution, set conferees against army post funding amendments, and adopted an immigration bill rule for an educational test. In the Senate Hoar urged withdrawal from the Philippines, while others defended retention. The week closed with Dubois opposing the Philippine bill and Beveridge supporting it, followed by private pension measures and Rochambeau ceremonies imminent.
