that the coming Of Senator Aldr!ch

Not only that. but his friendship for
the bill unquestionably would ALLEVIATE
some Of his best friends. like Senators
Hale, McCumber, Smoot and others
who aided him in framing the Payne

to tho Canadian agreement.
Senator McCumber spoke against the

disastrous effect which he said its en-
actment would have on the farming in
