clause In that way an immediate test
of strength on debenture IN the House
would be provided.
The Republican leadership of the
House was reported today to be still
divided over the question of rejecting
the bill as amended by the Senate on
the constitutional grounds.
The Senate was appealed to yesterday
by Senator Watson of Indiana, the
Republican leader, not to indulge in any
debate which might create ill-feeling
between the two branches of Congress.
The Republican leader took the posi-
ton that the House ought to receive
the Senate bill so as to permit con-
ference committee to deal with disputed
sections.
This view also was taken by Senator
Reed Republican, of Pennsylvania, who,
although an opponent of the debenture
plan, commended that the Senate had
the right to initiate it.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, contended that if
the House refused to receive the bill
all hope for farm relief at this session
is gone"
And" he added, turning to the Re-
publican side, 'if for political pur-
poses you encourage the body at the
othe rend Of the Capitol to decline to
responsibility for its failure"
Violation Of Promises Charged.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi, charged that Republican lead
ers were endeavoring to have yle House
refuse the farm bill.
Just a few days ago." he asserted,
"the Senator from New Hampshire
(Moses) told us that it was an affront
to the House to pass the debenture and
that the House would send the bill
back to us. Was he speaking from the
cards or was he speaking for the PreSi-
dent?" The Mississippian declared that
never before had the Republican party
been 80 guilty of violating their
promises" as in the current farm bill.
Harrison read kilograms from con-
StituentS which asked him not to in
sist on the debenture plan because it
might peril farm legislation, and
charged that these were propaganda"
fostered by high Government officials.
There has never been any equal to
this propaganda" he shouted. THE
President has three secretaries and one
Of them sits in the House of Repre- |
and presents his view"
