Washington August 17 A Missouri senator William Joel Stone chairman of the foreign relations committee sparked a Senate debate by saying speeches were a waste of time and should be discarded or printed only in a limited way. He warned that if the speeches were exploited by press galleries they would lack value. The exchange followed Senator Walsh’s criticism of Hughes resignation. Stone argued a speechless Congress could be more efficient and less costly, while noting Senate rules differ from the House on leave to print.
