Senator Francis z. Warren OF Wyoming
said 20 re yesterday that he thought the
majority leaders in the senate had made
great mistake to yield SO many points
on the army bill and other important
measures in the closing days OF the last
session to small coierie OF hlibusters.
He said the majority leaders permitted
themselves 10 be hulldozsd and scared
into seQuIsscence By the spectre Of an
extra session.
He said that all the minority senator's
had 20 do was 10 say do this or do
that "or we will force an extra session. =
lie said that II the republicans had held
lheir ground they would have obtained
~ha; they wsntsi. lie thinks +; would
have been better. in his judgment. TO have
had an extra session rather than TO have
submitted to the compromise measures
mat we're passed. He thinks Il would be
advisable even now. for the president to
call an extra session. He thinks the p.
pno'ieAns will be handicapped In the next
campaign unless many Of the important
questions that are pending are taken Nm
ana settled It looks to him. 50 he saws
that from the standpoint of political zen.
