Washington, L>. C — Following the passage of the statehood bill by
the Senate Friday, it did not take long for the Honse to take similar
action, and on Saturday the bill as passed by the Senate waa adopted
by the lower body and the matter closed up aa if it had been just pro-
grammed that way all along.
By reason of pressure from the White Honse and aided by some
diplomatic work by Postmaster General Hitchcock, opposition to the
acceptance of the Senate amendments to the bill were almost nil.
. T^e Democrat* were induced to forego their objection through the
judicious circulation of a report that if the bill went into conference
it might not emerge during the present session.
Chairman Hamilton, of the House committee on territories, at ones

the present session was to agree to the Senate amendments and wel-
comed the administration's assistance.
It cannot be stated definitely when
Arizona and New Mexico will come In
to the Union under this leglalatlon. It
requlrea that the constitutions adopted
by the proposed states must be rati-
fied by Congreaa and approved by the
President.
