 T think some one ought to pre- sent our Views," he answered, add ing that he approved Senator Bing- hams action in employing Charles l.. Eyanson 10 aid him in tariff mat tcrs.
 "I thought Bingham's explanation was honorable and fine and l ap- proved his action in getting help from a trade association" Kirby said.
 Docs Arnold act for your asso- ciation?" Caraway continued.
 Yes"
 Do you approve Of his actiyi- 1ies?"
 "l'd have to know what they were before l answered."

 Watson also yentured an opinion that there was no senator from tn" northwest who would ruin an American industry and therefore the sane, sensible thing 10 do IS to determine what arc reasonable rates and then proceed to pass th@ bill"
 Watson's speech started a whirl of replies.
 Senator Borah Of Idaho, lead CT of the Independents, said he would bc one Of the first to cXpcdjt /, the bill by limitation Of debat" bu. the great issue that of restoring agriculture to equality with indus try, is one that can be settled in no way except in the open an l frank discussion Of the senate"

 Democrats Will Cooperate
 Senator Harrison. democrat, Miss issippi said the democrats were willing 10 cooperate in speedy pas sage of the bill but demanded that the president state his views now and not wait until the measure reached conference.
 Borah also said there was mo use talking about not passing 2 bill If there are enough votes to defeat it, that is one thing, but 10 abandon it and refuse 10 lesslate is unthinkable."

 Borah said he had gone into the campaign with a definite purpose and the senate can never adjourn for a holiday or for rest without compromising itself.
 The farmer. he went on, had waited for ten years for the op- portunity now presented to obtain tariff parity with industry.
 Simmons agreed with Borah that the senate was under obligation 10 the country, explaining he felt nothing the president might say would justify us in abandoning the bill either here or in conference A Glad No Pressure Used
 IHc added he was glad the presi- dent has not brought pressure and influence to bear on the question"
 Sen.
