implementing the President's announcement of policy. But it will not be unopposed.

Many of the Democrats will have something to say against the measure, fearing that American foreign relations will be injured if the United States takes sides in World Court disputes. Senator Robinson, however, is certain that his resolution will receive the necessary two-thirds majority.-United Press.

PORTSMOUTH AGAIN IN WINNING FORM

London, Jan. 16. Sensational defeats of Chelsea at Luton, and Huddersfield on their own territory, were the features of to-day's English Cup replays. Another London team to "take the count" was West Ham, who made a fruit- less journey to Stockport, losing to the Third Division team by the only goal scored.

Bristol City surprised and delighted their sup porters by travelling to Bury and holding the Second Division outfit to a draw of two goals each, but un- doubtedly the greatest achievement must be credited to Portsmouth, last year's Cup finalists, who went all the way to Huddersfield and won by the odd goal in five.

As the debtors could not pay on the old basis fixed by the bond rontracts, since the devaluation of the dollar, some means would be found by President Roosevelt to circumvent the decision of the Supreme Court if it went against the Government, it is considered.
