BAILEY AGAINST IMMEDIATE ACTION
Mr. BAILEY Dem Tex said the pending meas
ure was not political In the sense OF an ordinary
sarily responsible for It. Likewise, voting upon
separate amendments In general tarir measure
might result In destroying the equity or an ehure
schedule but such objection could not be urged III
the pending case. He took issue with MI. Ddlze

a dire necessity for immediate passage OF the meas
ura and in this connection reviewed the recent
Treasury statement insisting that total or Nsl-
O0O was available including the gold reserve or
