WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-(By As s0ciated Press. )-Debate on the Robin son resolution calling on the President to demand the resignation of Secretary Denby was begun by Senator Copeland, democrat, New York. He reviewed his long friendship for Secretary Denby and then quoted from reports made by naval experts who held that the oil in the naval reserves should be held for exclu- sive use of the navy. Secretary Denby, he said, must have been familiar with these reports.
 Senator Norris. Nebraska, interrupted to suggest that should Secretary Denby be impeached, the Senate must sit to try him. and to ask whether the Senate should now ask the President to bring about his resignation.
 Pointing out that Secretary Denby as member of Congress had voted to ex- onerate the then Secretary of the In. terior, Ballinger. in connection with Fletcher, democrat, Florida, declared that Mir. Denby's ideals and principles corresponded to those of Mir. Ballinger. Senator Pepper, republican, Pennsyl. vania, interrupted to object to the reso- lution on the ground that it imputed crime to the Naval Secretary. Chairman Hale of the naval commit- tee arose to the defense of Mir Denby, declaring that because with the legal advice of his department he signed cer- tain oil leases and because two years later before the public lands committee he showed ignorance, m honorable man is to be broken. and an honorable name tralied in the dust

 .Denby says flatly he will not re- sign." Senator Heflin said. Surely there can be no question of our right to express the opinion he should be in- yited to resign"
 References by the Alabama senator to assistant Secretary Roosevelts part in the oil leases, brought Senator Pep per to his feet with the assertion:
