BILLION CREDIT FOR
GERMANY UNLIKELY
Proposal Will Not BE Favored
by State or Treasury
Department.
FARMERS URGING MOVE
Senate Committees Expected
to Take Up Measure in
Joint Session To-day.
FARMERS URGING MOVE
Special Despatch TO THE NEW YoRK HERALD.


New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C., Dec. e3.
Efforts to create billion dollar credit
means of encouraging trade relations
and bringing relief to the agricultural
interests Af the country will not be en-
couraged by the State or Treasury De-
partment High Government officials
regard the proposition as Impracticable
and unwise and will SO advise the Senate
committees on banking and currency and
on agriculture, which may consider the
matter in joint session tomorrow.
The suggestion for the establishment
of billion dollar credit for Germany in
which Austria may participate is part
of the programme inaugurated by the
farmers organizations, which see in this
plan opportunity TO market American
surplus food stuffs.
The German side of the proposition is
represented by William Wallace Brauer,
who is here representing business inter-
ests of Germany, although in no way
representing the German Government.
with which the United States is still
ltCuHlCdily an a Slutc OF WAT.
Mr.. Brauer has been in consultation
with ]. r. Howard of Iowa, representing
tha- American Farm Bureau Federation,
which claims 100000 farmer members.
1T is understood that Berlin has applied
to the Reparatfons Commission as pro-
vided for under the Versailles treaty, to
acquire certain foodstuffs by giving a
priority lien on the taxable returns of
Germany.
/ 1t is acknowledged by all sides that
without this priority lien it would be
impossible for Germany to give any pos
sible security for the credit which is de-
sired here
Even in that event, according to Gov
ernment officials who have been giving
the subject careful consideration to-
gether with officials of the Treasury De-
partment, it is doubtful If proper secur-
ity could be given.
1t was pointed out here that even in
her most prosperous days before the
war, Germany never was able to pile up
balance of trade in her favor of more
than 100000, 900. Now that she is
shorn of her colonies, her merchant ma
rine, parts of her territory and is en-
deavoring vainly TO llquidate her war
debt and meet the demands of the Allies
for reparations, she hardly could be ex-
pected to build up any balance of trade
at all.
II is believed extremely doubtful II
the reparations commission would allow
the priority lien on Germany's taxable
resources in view OF the fact that the
allied countries, especially France and
Belgium, are going through the same
process of strangulation which Germany
is experiencing as a result of Germany's
war aggression.
Government officials see only one way
In which the German credit could be ex-
tended, and that would be through a
bond issue which would place the Amer
lean Government behind the proposition.
This would have to be done without Sc
curity, they say. and would result In
added taxation on the whole people to
benefit single class-the agricultural
group.

Washington. ID. c., Dec. s3.
What is regarded as the first step in
a probable Democratic filibuster IN the
Senate against the House one year
emergency tariff bill on agricultural
products was taken to-day by Senator
Harrison (Miss.), Democrat. He en-
ployed parliamentary tactics to pre-
vent the bill from being read the sec
ond time, and, referring it to the
Finance Committee, demanded a roll
call TO determine whether or not a
quorum was present and announced
his determined opposition to hasty
consideration, either In the Finance
Committee or on the floor.
Senator Smoot (Utah) sought to have
Senator Harrison withdraw his objection
to the second reading of the bill, which
would have permitted 1t to go auto
matically to the Finance Committee, but
the latter declined to do so.
Just before the Senate adjourned Sem
ator Smoot made another effort to ar
rive at some agreement by which the
Finance Committee might have the bill
referred to IL. and again Senator Harri-
son blocked it, He said that he proposed
to prevent the bill from going to the
Finance Committee next Monday, the
next meeting day OF the Senate, and that
he will insist that quorum shall be
present when the bill Is read again.
Senator Harrison would not admit that
his action foreshadowed a filibuster, but
did not deny that he intends to delay ac-
ton on the bill at every possible stage.
Furthermore, II was disclosed that he
has large following of Democratic Sem
ators who are prepared 10 support him
in opposing the measure. whether II be
In the use of parliamentary weapons or
insisting on hearings or full discussion
on the floor.
The Republican members have an
nounced they do not propose to hold
hearings on the bill. but are willing to
have it fully considered by the Finance
| Committee. The Democrats probably
will demand public hearings, although
they will be unable to hold all of their
party In line. For instance. Senst tor
| Gay (IA.), Democrat. told the Senate
to-day that he wished to support the
bill, but wanted sugar added to the
products on which the emergency tariff
shall be placed Senator Ransdell
(La.) has taken a similar stand.
Senator Harrison called attention TO
these suggestions for increasing the list
of dutiable articles. He foresees that
Senators whose constituents have other
products. either grown or manufactured.
that need protection would be seeking
TO have such articles included He be-
lieves that the bill ultimately may be
smothered by amendments and killed in
that way. and is quite likely to en-

seems incredible that such palpable
bigotry should be taken seriously. But
We should not underestimate the in
huence Of constantly reiterated charges
upon uniformed minds, nor should we
imagine that the appeal to racial and
religious fanaticism can no longer arouse
the passions OF the mob. The editor of
the London Daily Chronicle rightly OBJ
serves that in case Of few compara-
lively overstrung people the war strain
has produced species of quasi-insanity.
Men, some of whom formerly had quail

where their minds run amuck. They
suffer from war hysteria. They are a
prey to violent and Rroundless obses-

their effort they are apt to leave the

I'VE freely recognize that there are

recognized that Jews are prominent fr

are among the most intelligent, pa.

movements include non-Jews. Jews,
