Republican, however strongly oppcs- ed such move. the contention being made that it would not be known whether the bill could be passed until the final roll call and further that the measure might not go to the presi- dent in the form now proposed.
 A tentative bill by Representative Greene. Republican of Iowa. has been virtually accepted as the basis for the measure for which early passage will mittee probably will take it up early next week although several members began work on it immediately

 It was believed the action of the house leaders would not change plans to pass the senate resolution to re 1 vive the war finance corporation. ! This proposition was described as 1 being aside from the particular prob lems which the house and senate are 1 trying to sclve in shielding the far i mer from falling prices.

WASHINGTON. Dec 17.-COngres sional leaders decided today that the way cut of the maze of farmer relief bills was enactment of an emergency tariff to run for one year and to act as an embargo against impOrtations. It would apply to wheat, cotton, wool. leans. potatoes, livestock and meats.
 Agreement of the legislative lead CTS was reached at joint conference Of members of the senate finance and house ways and means committees at which the determination also was reached to press the proposed meas uge to speedy passage. Actual draft ing of the bill was started late in tlfa day by members Of the ways and means committee.
 Much discussion was evoked in the conference relative to a choice be- tv eeG a flat embargo and a h:gn tar iff but the house leaders held out against the employment of a ban on impOrtations in peace time, urging that the ase-old custOm of no embar- goes except in time of war be follow ed. Senate members of tha confer ence declared that an embargo meas ure could be put through their branch Of congress more easily than high tariff bill but they finally assured the house conferees that they wCuil use all of their influence to push the measure through as >soon as Y was received from the house.
