senators made it clear today, that they
do not propose to hasten consideration
of the tariff bill if the President and
Democratic leaders of Congress are GO
ing to insist upon the enactment of
currency legislation at this session.
Senator Gallnger declared that the
Republicans were in no temper to be
forced and Senator Lodge insisted that
assurances of prolonged hot sum-
mer session would not be conductive to
Fastening tariff action.
Discussion OH this point arose when
Senator Gallinger sought information
as to the intent of the Democrats Sen
ator Simmons said he hoped that the
Republicans were not making threats
to purposely delay passage of the tar
