Fordney Measure to Pro-
tect About 20 Products
Comes Up To-day and
Its Passage Seems Sure
Fate i'm Senate Doubtful
Longworth Says Proposed
Legislation Is Necessary
TO Prevent Stark Ruin

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.--The Ford
ney emergency tariff measure, designed
to protect about twenty farm products
by virtually stopping their importation
through heavy duties, will be called up
in the House tomorrow under special
rule giving it right of way and limiting
debate
Although hard fight is expected,
proponents Of the bill declared tonight
its passage by the House was certain.
Its fate. however, in the Senate, is re-
garded as somewhat doubtful.
The first Test vote to-day advo~
Gates of the special tariff legislation
won a signal victory by adopting, 206
to 76, motion to suspend the bust
ness Of calendar " Wednesday so as 70
bring the bill to vote tomorrow be-
fore adjournment. There will be no op-
portunity to include other articles by
amendment.
The bill was denounced in the House
to-day as special legislation by Repre-
sentative MADDEN. Republican, of iii
nois, who declared that it's unwisdom
must be manifest to everybody. The
purpose of the measure, Mr.. Madden
said, was to egislate on few articles
and to eliminate from consideration
many other articles in the Lands OF
thousands of Dealers
1t would be better for the United
States to sacrifice every cent Of the
$4,000, 100000 owed this country by
foreign nations than to surrender our
home markets to them in order that
they may pay these debts declare
representative Nicholas Longworth, of
Ohio, to-day in an address before the
House on the measure. Representative
Longworth said it is Of che most vital
Importance ito save from stark and
certain ruin some of the greatest agrr-
cultural interests of the country"
He made a strong attack on that part
of President Wilson's message to Con-
gress on December 2, 1919, which pro-
posed to permit foreign countries to
settle their debts by shipments of
goods into the United States.
THE enactment into law or such a
doctrine would, to my mind, bring utter
ruin and complete disaster to Ameri-
can industry and to American busi-
ness. | concede, OF course, that, as
the President says, conditions have
changed, but that they have changed
to such an extent that we could be
justified in abandoning the standards
and policies of the past and, forgetting
our home market, to enter into q mad
scramble for the worlds market, l Wig
