FARM BILL HOPE
IS SLIGHT
u GEORGE B. HOLMEs

While the Iowa political ex.
plosion continued to detonate
around the Capitol today. it ap-
peAred better than an sven money
bet that Congress win fade out Of
Washington in . few weeks with.
out having done anything to
placate the rebellious corn belt in
the way OF farm relief legislation.
What the political consequences
OF such neglect will be il a mat.
ter that is agitating good many
Congressional bosoms - Republican
and Democratic alike.
A vote on the Mc-Nary- Haugen
bill, which President Coolidge las
characterized as economically un.
sound" and which Vice President
Dawes has pronounced an es-
Unable, piece Of legislation in
every respect. is now scheduled
for the middle Of next week In
the Senate. It has already been
defeated In the House by a coall-'
tion Of Eastern Republicans and
Southern Democrats, and q similar
fate probably awaits II in the
Senate, although the vote II ex-
pected to be close.
Even IL the bill IL passed by the
Senate it stands little chance Of
enactment, as 1t must then go back
to the House which already has
rejected 1t, and even should the
House reverse itself. with an eye
on the November elections, 1t still
must run the gauntlet of the White
House. And President Coolidge has
clearly intimated veto awaits it
there.
There remains only the revamped
Tincher bill, providing a 100000.
900 revolving fund to be- loaned to
cooperative marketing societies,
which Senator Tess (R.l of Ohio in.
troduced yesterday as an Admin.
istration measure. It has been
defeated in the House by the Corn
Belt bloc, and 1t can be defeated
in the Senate by the same element.
Consequently the prospect today
was that after several weeks OF
desultory internecine fighting, Con.
gress win pack up and go home -
fear and trepidation to face what
ever punishment or appreciation
the ballot boxes hold

SPAINPROTESTS
LEAGUE RATING

GENEVA. June 11.-No despair
was noticeable in League OF Ma.
tions circles today despite the resig-
nation OF Brazil from the council
and the announcement Of the Span
ish delegation that Spain would
never accept classification as q
secondary power.
Hope was expressed that negotia.
lions during the summer would be
successful IN inducing both nations
70 accept reelection In September
to non.permansnt seats in the
council, ana thereby continue to
cooperate with the League.
Brazil Stirs Interest
Brazips withdrawal from the
League OF Nations Council was seen
in diplomatic circles today as the
forerunner OF definite rupture be.
tween Latin.America and the
League, tending further to reduce
the League to q tribunal for the
settlement OF European quarrels.
The action Of Brazil fell like q
pan in pro.League circles in Wash
lngton and was received with undis-
guised joy by those who contend
that the League II primarily an Old
World body.
A final break and withdrawal OF
Brazil from the League itself would
admittedly be q fatal blow to the
Leagues influence in South
America.
With the United States, Brazil
and Mexico standing aloof from the
League, it was pointed out In diplo.
matte circles that the natural result
would be to weld Pan-American ma.
tions together with the Monroe
doctrine as their basis for refusing
to join in European quarrels.
