quite far, however. In the right direction. 1t made
| no change In the boundaries OF the park
An additional explanation made by Mr. Carey
| Rep., Wyo). a member OF the Conference Commit
tee and then the report was agreed to.
| The tarn bill then at 1926. taken up. and
Mr. Quay ORep.. PENN. who entitled to the
floor said he would yield for the day to the Sena-
tors from Massachusetts and Washington Messrs
| Lodge and Squire).
Mr.. Lodge addressed the Senate In opposition to
the bill He spoke OF the delays the Democratic
| majority in both houses in bringing forward the
BILL and said that the minority in the Senate repre-
| senting great States and great interests greatly
affected by the bill. had had no opportunity to
discuss or consider 1t until month ago. There
had not been the usual opportunities given to per-
sons affected by the bill to represent before COM
mittees their views in reference to its provisions
Therefore the only chance to discuss Its items de
| lbsratey and fairly was now In the Senate chamber
| He referred to the million circulars OF inquiry
! sent out by the Finance Committee and read some
Of the pungent and satirical replies sent to them
| by several Massachusetts firms That pretended in
! quiry, he said. Of manufacturers and persons
| gagged In Industries had been in the least a
serious matter. and that almost proved the single
point he wished TO make, which was that there
| had not been a sufficient hearing given to those
| Industries.
| The Republican party. he declared would be alb
soutely false to Its trust II II did not exercise Its
full right and insist the discussion OF every
| Item and insist vote on every Item. so as to
show the country exactly what the bill was-a bill
| that had rejected every shred OF principle laid
| down In the Democratic platform: a bill OF pref
| erence to great interests like sugar, lead and Pc
| froeum
| The Republican party would welcome the respon-
| siblity OF defeating. OF stopping the passage
of the pending bill. 1t merely stepping stone
TO further agitation: and IL was the duty Of every
| one who wished 10 bring back peace and prosperity
