Especial TO The Times Dispatcl.)
WASHINGTON. Dee. THE Norris
resolution seeking TO extend cmcr-
gency financial aid to the agricul-
tural Industry met prompt and unex-
pected opposition in the Senate today.
and after joint protests OF Senator
Lodge. the Republican floor leader,
and Senator Glass. OF Virginia. former
Secretary Of the Treasury. the resolu-
ton went TO the calendar and i'm
mediate consideration was denied.
Opposes One Provision.
The opposition Of Senator Glass
was not directed primarily at the
provision OF tile resolution demandin
that the Treasury Department revoke
It's order Checking the operations OF
the Nar Finance Corporation. but
rather 20 the section relating TO re-
discount rates Of the Federal reserve
system. Senator Glass said any pro-
posal by Congress TO lower the inter
est rate of the reserve system and
attack the present policy of -. Fed
eral Reserve Board would make our
u,
but an investment system.
The Norris resolution had been
agreed upon by the Senate Agr!cuI-
turc Committee following the recent
coalition effected between Southern
and Western Senator's who arc being
hard pressed BY their farmer con-
stituents.
"Proposed Relief Unwisc."
Although he comes from an agri-
cultural state, Senator Glass warned
that the relief proposed was unwise.
THE discussion here" said Senator
Glass. appears to concern only one
feature of the resolution--the pro-
Finance Corporation.
Il want TO direc, the most serious
attention OF the Senate TO the fact
that the resolution has another sec
t!On which constitutes virtual at
tack upon tho policy OF the Federal
Reserve Board and calls for re-
versa! of that policy. This section
relates TO the lowering of the radis-
count rates of the reserve system
This is far-reaching proposal In
volvins a complete change in policy.
Ii We are to have this 1t means that
our banking and currency SYSTEM does
not remain a reserve system, but that
!; becomes an investment system.
ihinE the careful attention OF the
Senate should be called to such a
dangerous proposal"
