the house to vote directly on the
issue when the bill is received
there Wednesday. This can be
done by voting to instruct the
conferees to stand by the con-
ference report, which would be
a vote on the debenture issue.
This course has been suggested
by Chairman Haugen of the
house agriculture committee.
The senate would yield once the
house votes on the issue and the
legislation would go to the pres
ident.

The fight by the senate has devel-
oped into one directed as much against
the house as in favor of the deben-
, ture. Senate conferees insisted for
days that the house must vote on th'
: debenture, but in vain, and finalE

force the house to vote on the issu

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-tR)-
Charges that his bill to put immi-
grafton from western hemisphere
nations on the quota basis was be-
ing blocked by the sugar beet and
railroad interests were made today
in the house by Representative Box,
democrat, Texas.
He said nearly every representa-
tive of the sugar beet industry had
opposed the legislation in COMMITTEES,
as had all Of the railroads involved
except one.
But" he added, Gas long as I
shall continue to stay in congress |
shall press this problem upon you"
The Texan declared laws govern
ing admission Of Mexicans were
poorly enforced because Of the lack
Of funds and the ease with which the
country could be entered.
"They take the place of the Amer
lean working man in this country
he said. ''They are adding to the

try We are breeding another diff
cult question that must be faced in

clared that the Box bill would not

"Yes." replied Free, "there are
more than 200, 900 aliens unlawfully
in the country and we have no

The discussion over the Box bill
arose from a declaration by Blanton,
democrat, Texas, that thousands OF
Mexieans were coming into the
country.
"If you will travel down the Rio
Grande," Blanton said, you will see
them coming in. evading the head
tax and the other regulations.

droves," added Representative Scha-
fer, republican, Wisconsin.
