Idaho Senator Tells what Bloc Is Doing-Estab-
 fishing Principle

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Assail- ing the complaint that the Demo- cratic-Republican Independent CO., alition majority in the Senate on the tariff bill was responsible for the stock market collapse, Sena- tor Borah suggested an investiga- ton of the stock exchange This was in answer to the charge made by Fred I. Kent, Director of the Bankers Trust Company, in a speech made to 400 bankers in New York City, last Monday night.
 Institutions which get frightened because agriculture is making an honest fight for existence, are not worth preserving. It might be well to investigate the Stock Ex- change and give people the real facts,' Senator Borah said.
 The Idaho Senator then stated that what coalition was doing was simply endeavoring to establish a principle of equality between agri- culture and industry under pro- tective tariff system.
