Conflict between President Hoover
and members Of his party in the Senate
on three important proposals and be-
tween the Senate and House on at
least one appeared certain today as
the two chambers swung into the full
stride Of legislative activity.
The decision of the Senate agricul-
ture committee to Introduce its bill
today in tentative form including an
optional export debenture provision
emphasized the possibility Of sharp
difference between the chambers. The
plan had been definitely excluded from
the bill which was before the House
for the beginning OF actual debate on
this major part Of the special sessions
designated task.
This difference in Congress on the
advisability Of including a debenture
plan provision in the general farm relief
bill is believed by many Republican
leaders to be one OF the issues on which
the President and the Senate may ind
themselves in disagreement.
Divided ON Origins Clause.
Although the Executive has adhered
to his hands on" policy. and now
word on the administration view of
the debehture plan has been given, Mr..
Hoover Is regarded in some quarters as
placing his main reliance in the farm
relief discussion In the House.
That Is only one Of the differences
which observers profess to see in the
making between the President and the
Senate. Republicans in the Senate are
divided on the national origins clauss
Of the immigration act, which MIR.
Hoover wants Congress to suspend, and
on the desire of the President to have
tariff revision Yimited principally to the
agricultural schedules.
Senator Nye, Republican, North
Dakota, has drafted bill to meet the
presidential suggestion for q suspension
Of the national origins provision, but
Senator Reed. Republican. Pennsylvania
has served notice Of fight to the end
against such move.
Senator johnson, Republican, Cali
fornis, chairman of the immigration
committee, announced today he would
call the committed together 'Himnedi-
ately'' to consider the proposal for sus-
pending the national origins provision,
which has been proclaimed effective
July and provides new basis for
immigration and drastically revises the
present quotas.
Against Limited Revision.
Senator Reed, who ranks high in his
party's councils In the Senate. also has
declared against any attempt at "lim-
tied" tariff revision. He announced
after the reading of Mr.. Hoover's mes
sage to Congress that he would not
consider himself bound to any limited
tariff program and would support moves
for upward revision of any rates re-
gartied as necessary, whether in agri-
culture or industrial classes.
The declaration of Reed, who is a
member of the finance committee,
brought into the open the talk in the
Senate of revolt for general tariff
revision. There are signs that many
members of the majority party are
ready to support Reed, and great deal
of pressure has been directed at the
Senate for some time looking to a
general overhauling OF the 1922 tariff
act.
Thus, in the early days of his adj
n1inistration, the President finds him
self facing fight with leaders OF ms
party in the East on immigration and
the tariff and, while supported on these
two issues by the Western Republicans,
apparently finds them at odds with him
on farm relief.
