FIRST DEFEAT
ON FARM BLOC
Norris Measure Seems Certain VI
Defeat Today in Senate
First Important Defeat.
CIV ISAAC GREGG

Washington, Dec. 2l-Defeat OF
Senator Norris's bill for the organ
ization of an immense government
buying and selling agency for farm
produce was practically made GER
tain by an agreement reached by the
Senate yesterday to vote at three o.
clock on the motion of the senator
from Nebraska TO have his bill dls-
place the ship subsidy measure. Sena-
tor Norris will be unable to muster
enough votes to have his motion
placed before the Senate at this time.
This will mark the first important
defeat for the farm bloc since It's Or
panization more than year ago ana
probably will be the forerunner OF
series of defeats for the bloc arising
out of the attempt of its radical
members, led by Senators La Toilette
of Wisconsin and Norris Of Nebraska
TO force all kinds of fantastic and
paternalistic legislation on the bloc.
Not only this, but the fact is that
the farm bloc itself is split WIDE
open on the rural credits proposal
and indications are that any rural ere
dts plan will have an exceedingly
hard Shedding before it is put through
the Senate even though the Presl-
dent has espoused the cause OF rur-
al credits and has lined up the con-
servatives in the Senate and House
for the planN
The defeat of Senator Norrls's
motion and the probable defeat OF his
bill will be the result of the failure
of conservative Democrats to line up
with the bloc, even though most OF
these Democrats are opposed to the
ship subsidy bill and would like to
see its displacement by the Norris
motion.
Choosing between the evils of the
Norris bill ard the shipsubsidy meas
IRE, The cOns-s alive Democrats led
hy Senator'S lderwood of Alabama,
Williams ~ mississippi, Simmons and
Overman of North Carolina, Rams
dell and Broussard of Louisiana and
POmerene of Ohio, are firmly con-
WINGED that it would be better to keep
the ship subsidy measure before the
Senate than TO have the Norris
scheme before that body.
The Norris bin would put the
United States government in the
market as an immense buyer and
seller of all farm products with
$10o,000,0OO government corporation
organized for the benefit of the farm
er. The corporation would have many
considerations and ,yo,,ld on into the
export business on a large scale. 1t
became evident as soon as the bill
was proposed that it savored of Rus
sian communistic ideas and that it
would open the way for government
control of all industrial and agricul-
tural activity in the country with the
attendant evils Of the government in
private business.
