prsasave majority in thase statss Subsidies wsre condemned in tAl courss Of the campaign and the se' called deesnturs plaa-that is. ths giving ef suhddiss on sxports-waa not raised by their party. nor by itl proponents :
 No serious attempt has been made to meet the many practical objections and leaders in con- gress have advanced against this proposal. It was not accepted by the house of representatives and has been overwhelmingly condemned by the press and is opposed by many leading farm organizations. For nd matter what the theory of the ex- port subsidy may be, in the practi- cal world we live in it will not brins equality but will brins further dis parity to agriculture. It will brina immediate profits to some apecula- tors and dixaster to the farmer.
 Urees Conference Report
 T earnestly hope that the con- sress will enact the conferees' re- port and allow us to enter upon the building of . sound agricultural sys- tenn rather than to longer deprive the farmer of the relief which he sorely needs"
 The senator's action had the ef- feet of sending the conference repore back to the house without approval and with a request for further con- alteration in conference for adjust ment of differences The senate'a conference committee, which last week yielded to the demands Of the house committee for 2 report elim- mating the debenture proposal. waA promptly reappointed with instruc- tions to insist in inclusion of the plan in the bill. The house vote on the issue will be based on the ques- tion of instructing tts representa- tiyes in the conference to insist upon elimination of the proposal.
 House Actt0n Awaited
 If such instructions are approved by the house. . sufficient number of the senate debenture advocates are expected to reccde from their posi- ton to permit enactment of the legislation. House opposition to q vote on the issue has been based on the stand that the proposal ia revenue legislation. which can be initiated only in that chamber. and that the senate. by inserting 1t In the bill. had exceeded its rights.
 Senator Robinson. who opposed thts view throughout the contest. in which he was a leader of the deben- ture group. reiterated his position in his statement, saying "the claim that the senate in inserting the ar rangement for the issuance Of debenturcs violated the constitution is absurd.
 . "The courts" he continued. "have defined bills for raising revenue as meaning bills levying taxes to de- fray the expense of the government. No other interpretation has ever been given the provision of the con- stitution requiring that bills for raising revenue shall originate in the house"
 Chairman McNary of the Senate agricultural, committee. who piloted the bill desired by the administra- ton in the senate and also was made chief of the chambers con- ferees. expressed the opinion after the White House conference that rejection of the debenture plan by the house would bring about prompt acceptance of the bill with the proposal eliminated by the senate.
