IN WATSON MOTION

House consumed only a week under rules
adopted to expedite passage OF the
measure, and the vote was obtained Just
10 legislative days after the special ses-
sion was convened.
The new farm relief bill was passed
by the House yesterday. just 10 days
after the converting Of the special ses-
sion of Congress. The vote was 36T 10
"a, only two Republicans being among
those in Observation-Disclosures of Mas.
sachusetts and Stafford of Wisconsin
the latter a new member.
The House bin would launch the Gov
eminent upon program which It's ad-
vocates contend would enable the farm
er to help himself to prosperity. 1t
would create Federal farm board with
revolving fund OF $500, 900. 900, to be
used In loans to cooperative associa-
lions.
The support given 1t by both Repub-
leans and Democrats brought the bill
through the House unchanged in any
major respect from the form in which
IL came from the agriculture committee
The three minor changes that were
made were proposed by committee mem
bcrS to clarity the language OF the bill.
advocates OF the debenture plan and
the equalization fee ranged alongside
their former opponents In support OF a
bill that is minus both OF these features.
The majority Of those who voted against
the bill were advocates OF one or both
OF those proposals, who still hope that
the bill as 1t finally emerges from the
Senate may be changed in several re-
spects.
Neither the debenture plan nor the
nnuali2a ton fee came TO a vote In the
House. Both were offered. but points
of order were sustained against them.
With the exception of these and pro-
posal by Representative Crisp, . Georgia
Democrat, to make Immediately avail
able $780, 0o, 900 OF the revolving fund,
all OF the other amendments Of the more
than two score offered were rejected by
votes. The Crisp proposal also was de-
clined on a point of order.
The various other amendments which
swamped the Speakers table were voted
down with machine like precision,
with the administration followers all
ways keeping large majority Of voters
on the floor and many OF the Democrats
joining them In shouting down the
suggested changes.
The Democrats divided upon the bill
before an almost unanimous Republican
vote, and on the final roll call the vote
was virtually of the same proportion as
that by which the agriculture commit
tee had approved the Billie to 2.

Court decision against him three weeks
ago.
No Suggestion Of Withdrawal.
A. g. Watts, vice president of the
Sinclair corporation and an oficer and
director in many of It's far-fiung
subsidiaries, expressed the attitude
toward the chairman OF his chief
associates.
"Mr. Sinclair understands" he said,
''thAt the oflcers and directors OF the
corporation are united In their deter
miflation that neither now nor after
ne has served his sentence VIII any
suggestion of his withdrawal be enter
tanned. He has the unqualified support,
not only OF Us and OF the 10000 other
loyal members OF his own organization,
but Of every one who knows him
intimately.
Express Confidence In Him.
'Slnce the Supreme Court decision
Mr.. Sinclair has received messages of
confidence and support from ell over
the country. The directorate OF the
Exchange National Bank Of Tulsa, Okla,

Sinclair Is vice president and director.
promptly informed him, as soon as the
decision was handed down, that they
expected him to continue In those
offSces.
There is no hint Of any dissatisfae-
ton with his continued racing activities
from the Jockey Club nor of any
censuring action by any OF the trade
bodies with which he is connected.
"Ten Per Cent Wrong"
And why should there bes We look
ct It this way: Mr.. Sinclair refused on
advice OF expert counsel TO answer 10
questions propounded by the Senate
Investigating committee. The District
Court OF Appeals in washington de-
clared he was right in regard TO six oil
these. OF the remaining four the
Supreme Court based its decision only
on one--and that after long delibera.
ton.
In other words, Mr.. Sinclair wa.
adtudsed 10 per cent wrong in a cues.
tion OF Law which he and hts cotinse
were asked TO decide instantaneous,
and over which the highest courts were
required to deliberate for months. i
seems 70 us nlsnifestly unjust"
MI. Watts was asked how the cor.
poratton ofiiCisls Justified Sinclair
AuSke0 CouuucI IN having the 1uTi
shadoWed IN the case against him ant
Albert B. Fall, an offense OF which h.
cas- convicted and for which he wa;
sentenced TO six additional months ir
jail. An appeal from that conviction
now is pending before the Supremt
Court.
Always Government Practice"
It apparently always has been {
practice Of the Government TO shadow
witnesses in important cases" he re-
pied. at undoubtedly Is being don'
today. Mr. Sinclair was advised tina
his financial and political enemies wer.

terests demanded thst watch on thu

to a reduction Of military airplanes
seems destined to fill predominant
place in the discussions.
Poland Cites Treaty.
Poland gave an inkling Of this when
Francois Sokal, Polish delegate, called
attention to another article In the draft
treaty. This provides that when civil
aircraft Is so developed as to constitute
possible danger TO the security Of some
Of the other signatories, this situation
may authorize the petitioner 10 exceed
the limitations of military aircraft stipu-
lated in the treaty.
Another proof Of the preeminent role
which the European nations accord TO
aviation was found In a reservation
made by Alberto de Marinis OF italy.
Giving his auditors distinct impress
sion that he was alluding to French
possessions bordering on the Mediter-
renesn, Signor Marinis affirmed that
any division Of airplanes into home and
overseas forces should take into con-
sideration the fact that some oversee
territories are so near the homeland
that they should be regarded from A
military standpoint as being really
continuation OF home territory.
The italian delegate then introduced
q reservation indicating that Italy con-
templated applying this principle to ell
clear that armies and fleets also are af-
tected
Variable Factor Stressed.
In reducing ornaments. the forces
and material which slgnstory power
may ailot to Its overseas territories. may
have variable importance as regards
another country. having regard to the
geographical situation OF these terri
tories to any two contracting states"
said the italian reservation. "a sigma
tory would be justified In considering
the overseas forces Of another an in
! tegrsl part Of the home forces In cases
where this Is justified BY the proximity
Of oversee territory to the home terri
tory of the two countries
! The significance of this Italian move
was generally felt to lie in the fact that
oversee forces, whether air or land,
would presumably be subject to less re-
duction than the home forces.

stymied ut the eighteenth to lose a one
hole lead.
The fourth match was closely con-
tested all the way Hagen turned the
tide in favor Of the Americans at the
seventeenth when he l1oled chip shot.
and the Americans added another at
the home hole when Cotton found a
bunker with his second.
Turness had the honor Of hitting the
first ball in the international matches.

President Fails To
Attend Luncheon

HARLINGEN. Dec. 6-Three very
prominent Harrington attorneys are
still bothered about mysterious tele-
phone calls received Wednesday
morning. Someone. who gave no
name. called them UP and informed
that it was not generally known but
the President OF Mexico vas going
to have lunch at the Reese Wilmond
Hotel. and that they were cordially
invited to lunch with him at. noon.
The lawyers rushed home, put on
their Sunday best, brushed their
teeth. and presented themselves at
the hotel at twelve o'clock sharp.
Imagine their surprise when they
found no president. After looking be-
hind all the decorative palm trees
and under a few tables, they con-
Guided that he had not arrived and
that they were victims Of someone's
practical joke. They were forced 10
buy their own lunch.
