ereases in other lines was cited by
Secretary Wallace tonight in an ad-
dress before the National Retail
Dry Goods. Association as "a hope

Estimating that farmers and their
families represented 40 per cent of
the population. Mr. Wallace de-
clased every phase of business

The Secretary denied what he
termed the, widely held notion that
farmers in the corn belt states had
plunged. into land speculation dur

more than. 10 Per cent OF the c,Ilti-
gated land changed hands. he SAID.
The farmer has. taken. his full
share, and more, of liquidation. :"
DIR. Wallace declared. He has the
right to expect that others. such
as manufacturers, railroads.. labor
ing men, retailers viii follow his
example. Prices of things must

Federal Aid For

The need Of the railroads for
more equipment is their OWN diff

this view.

Within. the last few months the

The necessity Of buying foreign
exchange for foodstuffs, situation
which Poland faced from the be-

The Scandal OF the Purchase.
of Seat in Senate VIII Not
Down

Washington, Feb. 9.-The New
berry election case WAS the cause
Of another sharp partisan, clash to-
day in the senate, Democrats talk
ing vigorous. exception TO remarks
by Senator Pepper Republican of
Pennsylvania in 4 speech last night
at Albany. y. Y. In his address
Senator Pepper said that the Dem
ocrats in the Newberry fight
"mouthed about the honors Of the
senate and the integrity Of the in
dividual and then they proceeded
TO tarniSh that honor and impair
that Integrity by voting like q flock
OF sheep"
Senator Ashurst (DrmocraD Of

ton TO the remarks OF Senator
Pepper, who is the newest member
Of the senate. having been appoint
cd 10 succeed the late Senator Pen
rose, and characterized them. as
did other Democrats, as an impufa-
ton Of hishonorable action.
Mr. Pepper was not present when
the question was brought up, but
arrived during the afternoon and
just before the senate adjourned
had :; spirited engagement with
Senator :ishurst. Senator Newber-
~ Republican, Of Michigan was
not present.
Questioned by Senator AShurst.
Mn Pepper said he had been quot
ed correctly, and added ne had.
assumed that senators would con-
slider be %cWbcrry case judiciaNy
and that this apparently had been
done by the Republicans in view OF
their division on the vote OF seating
Senator Newberry.
The question Of honor. Senator
Pepper declared, was raised by the
Democrats.
Il choose to accept that issue,
only reversed the sides" said the
Pennsylvania senator in his i'd
dress. which vas his first in the SEN
ate.
Senator .&sh,rst Inquired whetf-
er Mr. Pepper considered that the
Republicans who voted against Sem
ator Newberry had violated their
honor and whether Mr.. Pepper
was .'eycusirs or condoning"
them.
Senator Pepper replied that his
remarks on the question OF honor
in the Voting did not apply to any
senator's who diSsented from the
remarks Of Senator Reed Demo
craD Of Missouri. The latter, in
the speech referred TO. attacked the
supporters OF Senator Newberry and
said there was not a senator who
voted for this resolution (seatInS
;; the Michigan mcmber) who did
not brand in red letters above and
across his political record the word
"dishonor.
! Senator AshurSt replied that
Senator Pepper had "avowed and
said that every Democratic senator
voting against Nh. Newberry had
stained his soul with dishonor, but
that the Republicans did not"
The discussion closed when Sen
ator Ashurst asked that Senator
Peppers speech and the majority
resolution seating Senator New

Senator Spencer Republican, OF
Missouri objected and the request
was denied. This resolution had
