pressed doubt as 10 whether an al

Regarding the measure. President
Wilson said the Situation in which
many farmers find themselves can
not be remedied by measure OF this
sort" aud that "there is no short
way out Of existing conditions"
Actual relief ior the farmers, the
president asserted. could only come
from the adoption OF constructive
measures of a broader scope, from
the restoration os peace everywhere

cry there Of additional credit foun-
dation
Need Foreign Markets.
The American farmer the presi-
dent asserted. needed the present sit
uaton OF domestic marketing and
credit and all opening to foreign mar
kets. rather than protection from
foreign products as laid down in the
tariff bill.
The president remarked that il was
a little peculiar that the measure
(which strikes q blow at our foreign
trade, should follow so closely upou
the action of congress directing the
resumption Of certain activities Of the
war finance corporation, especially
the urgent insistence of representa-
, tives of the farming interests who
believe its resumption would improve
foreign marketing
After the veto measure had been
read, the house.agreed to take up the
veto at o'clock tonight

Many Bills Receive Death
Blows During Last Desperate
Attempt to Clean Up
Late Measures.
House Honors Clark
BY The Associated Press.

Washington, u. C., March s.
Congress tonight neared its end III
the usual desperate attempts to pass
eleventh. measures. Night ses-
sions were held and many bills re-
ceived their death blows while nll-
merous others escaped. The $685.,
100000 navy bill appeared 10 be the
only regular supply bill which
would fail. Its loss was conceded
tonight on al sides. =
For the second time the house to-
night refused TO concur in the seu-
ate amendment TO the suudry civil
appropriation bill, providing S1O,
100000 for work during The coming
fiscal year on the yerrment dam
near the Muscle Shoals, Ala. nj
tfate plant. The vote was 207 TO
l44. ...
Tie Fordncy emergency tariff bill
was returned to the house today
with the presidents veto. The
house agreed to take it up tonight
with little expectation that the nee
cssary two-thirds vote to override
the veto would be forthcoming.
Tributc TO Clark.
Important bills remaining in
President Wilson'S hands without
indication OF their tate were the i'm
migration restriction bill. the war
time laws repeal measure and three
appropriation bills, the army bud
get completed today by congress,
the annual agricultural bill and the
Notifications supply measure.
Despite the rush of business the
house paused for an hour tonight to
pay tribute to former Speaker Champ
Clark.
The crux of battle was the navy
bill in the senate. Senator Poindex-
ter, republican. Washington, in
charge of the measure, admitted its
defeat early today and sought to
withdraw it from the senate. 1t was
ruled that his motion was not in
order and the bill remained pending
all day. but there was no program
for its disposition.
Hopes for Storage Bill
Some leaders declared il was be-
ing used to head off consideration OF
the soldiers bonus ard other bills
against which powerful opposition
has been centercd.
1t appeared probable that the bill
for government regulation Of cold
storage would be among those saved
from defeat. A new compromise
agreement in conference was reached
and adopted promptly by the senate
with similar action expected in the
house.
Squeezed through the jan, over the
naval bill also was al new measure
appropriatilg Sl8,o00,000 for hos
pital extensions fer war veterans.
Several nominations were confirmed
by the senate with consent of re-
publican leaders.
