Washington, July 25.-The lie
publican majority heard home plalh
talking today in both branches OF
Congress from party veterans Nl'h
long experience in legislation.
In the. Senate the venerable hnN'e
Nelson, of Minnesota, told the ne
pubIicans that the Finance Conuilt-
zee must handle the tariff on prln-
,iple different from that followed p9
he Ways and Means Committees
and in the House James IL. Mann
long the Republican floor leadeF,
brutally told Floor Leader MondcH
that the Republicans are WaStlHs
time and trying to fool the peopie.
Senator Nelson's speech came dur
ing discussion of the Norris + arm |
Export Corporation bill. Saying |
that he had never professed to be n |
tariff EXPERT but that he had given |
l. bonoht to the economic situation OF
| this country and of Europe, Senator
Nelson declared that he was unable
| IN see how the United States could
| exnect to sell it's surplus in Europe
| if it does not give those poor peo-
| ME over there a chance to sell some
| Of their products in this country.
| eve cannot go ahead in framing
| . tariff bill as we used to in the days
| when things were booming IN
| Eurone," said Senator Nelson. we
n,net take into consideration the
changed set of facts that confront
Ins and we must act according TO the
Iconditions that we find today-not
ias thoughC the world were in the
state it was when other tariff blils
were passed. l sincerely hope that
when the Finance Committee taxes
mn the tariff question it will keep
this in mind
NIann's Outburst Pointed

has more acid in it than Senator Mel
sons warning to the Senate Repun-
Ilicans that Chairman Fordney

90 into Committee of the Whole Tor

kbills. such as those settling CLAIMS

! ! ments, dealing with the Naval 2s-
Establishment, relating to weights and
/ measures and having to do with IN
: dian affairs The former old guard
