amount has already been exceed
ed and that the customs revenues
received up to that date amount
ed to $273,061,0 00, or more

bald statement that the ''busl'

which the Democratic Congress
has done should be undone, nor

get back into office by creating
an erroneous impression in the

The vote by winch the Ihree

not a party vote. But one Pro-
gressive voted against the Clay

Democrats voted against the
Rayburn bill. All of the Pro

record vote.
