FARM BLOC VIEWS
NEW PEACE PLAN
Use of Export Debentures
Looms as Basis for Com
promise Bill.


With the McNary- Haugen ranks d.
vided over the equalization fee. a new
strategy emerged in the farm bloc to-
day. designed toward use OF the export
debenture plan Of the National Grange
as a vehicle for compromise.
This latest peace plan. yet to be
worked out in detail. provides that the
debenture clause would be so worded
as to be satisfactory to the admins
tration. and then would be sponsored
by some Republican member OF the
agriculture committee.
Although this plan has been en-
bodied In bill by Representative
Jones. Democrat. Texas: Louis j.
Taber, master of the National Grange.
has announced that 1t would again be
introduced in the near future.
THE time Is now ripe to give the ex-
port debenture plan fair hearing on
its merits" said Taber. For more
than seven years the Grange. along
been seeking methods to bring equality
for agriculture.
Stated In the simplest terms. Taber
explained. the export debenture plan Is
an arrangement whereby exporters OF
certain agricultural products would re-
ceive from the Treasury Department
certificates having face value estab-
lished by Congress. and intended TO
represent the difference In costs OF pro-
duction here and abroad. Such certifi-
Gates would be good for their face
value in the payment OF import tariffs
on any articles later imported.

Meyer Davis. president Of the Ma
tional Cafes, Inc, which operates LIE
Paradis Cafe, at l Thomas Circle. was
identified today by Mrs. H. K. Mans
field. policewoman. as present at the
table where contents Of q gin bottle
were poured into "set ups" furnished
by walters, and later consumed by the
men at the table with him.
Mr.. Davis was in court, and Mrs.
Mansfield pointed him out. and he was
requested by Assistant United States
Attorney Harold w. circuit to stand.
In answer to query from Justice
Charles s. Hatfield, before whom the
case OF the Government charging a
tional prohibition law. Is being tried.
Says Girl Was Drunk.
Two men had young woman with
them at the cafe January 8, 1927, Mrs.
Mansfield declared, and were trying to
get her drunk. AS she would dance
with one of the men, the other would
fill her "set-up" with the contents of a
gin bottle. and when she danced with
the other man, her former partner fol-
lowed the same course in reference to
the contents of the bottle, the witness
declared. When the party left the cafe
at l o'clock, Mrs Mansfield declared,
the men had to support the girl from
the room.
1t was January 4. 1927, when she saw
Mr.. Davis at table where a gin bottle
was In evidence, and on that same night
at table adjoining, which Mr.. Davis
faced, a man poured the contents of q
pocket flask into "set-up" furnished
by the waiter. and then placed the flask

SENATE MAY Defer
N|CARAGUAN PROBE
Movement Under Way to
Withhold Action Until
Havana Farley Ends.

A movement is under way among a
group of Senators to defer investigation
Of the Nicaraguan situation until after
the Pan-American conference, now in
session at Havana. adjourns. OPPOSE
ton to starting the inquiry while the
Havana conference Is In progress is not
confined TO administration Senators.
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas. the
Democratic leader, who is a member
of the foreign relations committee, said
he thought it would be 1.-The wise policy
to wait until after the conference Is
over" before launching general in
quiry.
Some Of the other Democrats share
this view and 1t Is regarded as signifi-
cant that when this subject was brought
up In the Senate last week, it was Sem
ator Bruce of Maryland Democrat,
who defended the administrations
policy in maintaining Marines in the
Latin American republic.
Report Expected Tomorrow.
Senator Edge of New Jersey, who
has just returned from weeks visit
to the conference in Havana. probably
foreign relations committee Since
Chairman Borah and Senator Swanson
of Virginia. the ranking Democrat on
that committee, favor a constructive
investigation. resolution for such a
move probably will be reported out to-
morrow or at later time.
However those who want to defer
agitation of the question until after the
pan American conference adjourns. be-
lieVe they can prevent action on the
floor until that time. which now Is
expected to he about February 10.
In formal statement today. Senator
Edge expressed the opinion that the
Senate would make great mistake
If 1t attempted to prepare or provide
the President with made-to-order
Latin American policy. anyhow while
the pan-American conference IS in
session.
Would Defer Action.
while We all recognize in recent
years the Senate has invaded almost
every field of activity. both public and
private. sometimes with conmendable
results" Senator Edge said still it
would seem TO me TO be most unfor-
tunate If We ever attempted to absorb
the constitutional powers OF the Chief
Executive in his responsibility of initi-
ating and carrying out foreign policies.
Il clearly appreciate the Senate has
perfect right, If 1t so elects. to advise
or through resolution express its view
point on any subject under the sun.
repeat. however. it would probably be
most confusing II the Senate delegated
to itself settlement Of this specific
matter until at least the official repre-
sentatives now in Havana accredited to
every one Of the 81 republics OF the
Western Hemisphere have an oppor-
tunity 10 inform the world what they
may feel Is the best course TO pursue
These delegates certainly know more
about their local situations and their
country's ambitions or reSentnentS il
they really have any. than we can ever
possibly know. no mater how thorough
an investigation should be undertaken"
