Hull's Bull

Chairman Hull of the Democratic
national committee scores the farmer
relief legislation enacted by the Re-
publicans of the last congress. MFR.
Hulis criticism is not well directed
1t is true that Republican votes put
through the farm relief program. but
only after it had been passed upon
and approved by all of those who
were most active as the farmers
friends. The so-called farm bloc" in
congress took leading part in initi-
ating and perfecting that legislation.
and IT represented the consensus of
opinion OF all those who had the best
interests of the farmers at heart. So
when Mr. Hull arraigns the Repub-
lieans for their farm legislation he
brings an indictment against all those
who have been aiding the farmers
welfare IL is unlikely that the farm
RS viii reject those who have been
working for them in the past. merely
because OF the partisan attacks of |
chairman Hull.

Washington-Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Wadsworth has recon-
mended that the medical examination
gwen aliens upon entrance to the
United States be broadened in its
scope. He characterized the medical
examination as of vital importance to
the country and criticized facilities at

the end that the work may be done
thoroughly, he recommended that Sec
rotary of the Treasury Mellon join
with Secretary Davis of the depart

he also suggested that steamship
companies be penalized for transport

This condition is very confusing

job keeping their eyes and ears open

also be warned against hitching on

their cars and a sudden jerking for
