Over Farm
Credit Bill
House Debate on Agricultural
Aid Begins With Near Fist
Fight-Bloc Leaders
Dissatisfied.
Undue Delay Is Charged

Washington. Feb. 17.--House con-
sideration of the farms credit pro-
gram began today with n near fist
fight and wound up tonight with open
expressions OF dissatisfaction by farm
bloc leaders over what they character
lied as the delay of the banking COM
mittee In reporting out measures be-
fore II.
Representative Anderson. rephb-
lican. Minnesota. Joint author Of the
Lenroot-Andersop farm credit bill,
said that with the end OF congress
typ weeks away measure passed by
ehe senate and approved by the secre-
taries Of commerce and agriculture
had disappeared IN a fog and was
likely to fail because the committee
seemed unwilling to report it out
Defending the committee, Represen-
tative Mondell. Wyoming, the repub-
lican leader assailed the senate,
which he said had sent to the house
two measures, the Lenroot and the
Capper bills, both seeking the same
ends by "diametrically opposite
methods"
Not Worried Over Bill.
He declared he had every confid-
ence that bill covering rural credits
would be reported "in due time, =
adding that meantime it was the duty
of the house to pass the bill before
il, the Strong measure, amending the
federal farm loan act, and facilitat-
ing the activities of the whole land
bank system.
Immediately after the Strong bill
was taken up, there was personal
encounter by Representative Wingo
Arkansas, ranking democrat on the
banking committee, and Representa-
tive Jones. democrat. Texas, over the
division of time for debate. They
were quickly separated and the Incl
dent was closed later with expression
of regret by both members.
Throughout the day there were
strong clashes in debate. attended by
INQUIRIES as to the status in commit
tees and other measures.
Brings Direct Issue.
Representative Anderson, farm
fluc leader brought the question TO
direct issue, asserting that the ieSls
= lation had been before the banking
several weeks and that nc
action had been taiiap.
'T chanonge the attention Of the
house" Mr.. Anderson said, TO the
fact that shis legislation is likely u
fail because the banking committee
seems unwilling to report 1t. 1t seems
to have disappeared into some kine
OF n fog. 1t is now two weeks from
the end OF the session. The admins
tration promised this relief to th.
farmers and I believe the eountr5
should know where the responsibility
for failure lies. IL it Is not passed.
Unless immediate action is taken
Mr.. Anderson said, "there will be NJ
payments of the promises we have
made to the people in reference Il
this question.
I'VE who are in a position of re
sponsibility,' he added. f'should finf

announcement That Govern
ment Will Put Down Re-
volt at Any Cost
Dashes Hopes.
Few Rebels Surrender

Dublin. Deb. 17.-CP)-Dublin' 8
walls today presented a striking ex-
hibit OF placards addressed to the ir-
regulars and their sympathizers, urg-
ing a cessation of the conflict before
the amnesty period allowed by the
government expires.
The pronouncement by William T.
Cosgrave, president of the dali cabi-
net. that the Free State government
would put down the revolt at any cost
and that there would be no negotia-
ton with canon de Valera, or the
other irregular leaders, dissipated all
peace rumors. His statement was
endorsed by Kevin o'Higgins as the
last word OF the united cabinet.
The suggestion by the neutral men,
bers OF the old republican army for a
months truce. during which the ir-
regulars would retain their arms but
remain quiescent, attracted tentative
approval from a section of the press
on the ground that it would afford a
breathing space in which TO repair the
damage wrought throughout the eoun.
try, but 1t is recognized that even
tually the fundamental conditions
must be faced.
Details Lacking.
No details are yet available as TO
the result of the amnesty offer. There
have been some few surrenders OF
arms. accompanied by guarantees of
withdrawal from the fight. but nu-
merous are tho cases in which irreg.
ulars have buried or abandoned their
arms and slipped home.
The main effect Is believed to be
the disintegration OF the republican
rank and file described by the min.
ister OF home affairs as "crumbling
away" lie declares those irregulars
held prisoners are practically lined up
in favor of the amnesty, pointing out
as the reason for this that they are
freer TO express their real sentiments
than the men outside who. he alleges.
are held TO the irregular cause by CO.
ercion.
The government had voiced its will.
ingness to release such prisoners as
sign an undertaking to abandon arm
cd resistance. provided they can re-
tain trustworthy sponsors FOR their
good behavior.
Resistance Continues.
Although the attempt n. resistance
has been weakened by tho amnesty,

viii resume the executions suspended
for the last 10 days If all the death
sentences were carried out they would
be very numerous. but such sentence
requires confirmation by the com
mander-in-chef. and General Mul
cahey makes 1t n practice TO inquire
into the circumstances OF each case
before passing judgment.
The reprisals by the irregulars
have been so widely extended that
nothing worse Ia expected than has
already been experienced. Their lat.
est move Is to order local municipal
bodies TO adopt resolutions condemn
ing the executions, and they threaten
penalties on members of these bodies
II they refuse.
The general feeling here is thai
