several weeks efforts in ascertaining the
views of the members of the upper house
While this information was interesting

nificance for him. He has done his duty
| in calling Congress, and his friends in
| the House have promptly come 10 the
relief of the country. He can do nothing
| further to bring about additional relief
| The responsibility for further action rests
entirely with the Senate
The poll, as proposed, includes senators
who will vote for unconditional repeal in
| the last ditch" They prefer the bill
with amendments TO be attached, and will
| SO vote, but if these amendments are de-
| feated. they will be prepared TO vote for
| unconditional repeal
