BREAD,
BREAD, BREAD!

Washington-FP- "You tell me
that it is bad for our civilization"
Sen. Robinson, Arkansas, told the
senate, "to use federal funds to
save the lives of those who thru
no fault of their own, have come
to suffer peril from want?.
at is the old ,old story: If we
remain Indifferent, if we insist
that the comparatively few who
are disposed and able shall make
voluntary contributions for relief
in cases of widespread calamity,
and that the people as a whole
shall be entirely exempt from such
responsibility, there may come a
day when, with measured tread
and deafening cry, millions of de-
serving men and women will adj
vance shouting Bread! Breadl
Bread! to the destruction of pub
lie institutions.

Hoover Alarmed
by BOrah Protest
ARKANSAS SOLONS
HEAR A MASTERS
VOICE" ABOUT FOOD

Washington-FP- Pres. Hoover
is credited by Sen. McNary with
having brought Harvey Couch, Ar
kansas power magnate and bank
er to Washington to treason" with
Sen. Caraway and also with Sen.
Robinson of that state, to prevent
them from carrying out their
threat to force an extra session OF
Congress if their people ara left
by Hoover to starve-
Couch was received at the sta
ton by a white House emissary,
and later had a talk with both
Arkansas senator's. It appeared he
was called in because he has been
accustomed to telling these states
men what to do about power and
financial issues. AS head of the
Electric Bond g. Share companies
in the lower Mississippi valley, he
was counted on TO bring tina mill
tant senator's to heel.
at the same time, Caraway as
serted that there would be no COM
promise unless Hoover agreed to
relax the rules which Secretary
Hyde has thrown around the use
of funds lent for feeding farm ami
mails.
For example, it is illegal for a
farmer to use any of the present
loan funds for feeding his milk
cows or pigs; an diff a hungry
child eats a handful of mi11-feed
intended for mules, that act is a
criminal offense.
Intimations have gone out from
q. o. P. headquarters that a lot OF
patronage jobs and adjustments
can be secured by senators If they
will abandon plans for special
session. owen Young's visit to
Washington is said to have result
ed in spreading this hint among
corporation democrats.

of the Arkansas Power Company,
came to town and Sen. Robinson
ran up the white flag and accept
ed a compromise without submit
ting it to a conference of MS DEM
ocratic associates.
The coalition was thrown into
confusion; the progressive republi-
cans felt they had been betrayed;
Old Guard leaders grinned COM
placently, the hungry millions in
city and country were left "up in
the air."
1t was a marvellous exhibition Of
what business man of the right
type could do when he knocked off
his regular work and devoted a
little time to running the govern
ment.
The surrender" encountered
rough Shedding" in the senate.
Bitter Criticism
BrOokhart of Iowa referred to it
as "The Arkansas compromise. /"
He recalled that the Missouri com
promise had been declared mcon-
stitutional by the supreme court
and declared that the Arkansas
compromise would be "overthrown
by the supreme will of the people
of the United States"
Glass of Virginia, a conservative
democrat, said, "It is not a com
promise, it is abject surrender, and
while no odium necessarily attach
es to a surrender, this is a surren-
der disguised with pretence, it is a
surrender that is saturated with
covert insincerity on the part of
those who would administer til
proposed fund"
Oaraway's Admission
Blain of Wisconsin twitted the
Arkansas senators about the activ-
tiles of the powerful Mr.. Couch
and suggested that Senator Cara
way should reconvene the lobby
committee, of which he is chair
man, and ascertain to what extent
Mr.. Couch had lobbied to bring
about the compromise.
Caraway admitted that Couch
had come to Washington and had
interviewed the Arkansas senator's
"Mr. Couch came to me-" said
Caraway, "and said the president
was willing to make certain con.
cessions. We said we would make
certain concessions and finally il
resulted in the agreement written
Both Caraway and Robinson
maintained that under the bill, the
loans could be made for the pur-
chase of food. This was holly de-
MED by the opposition and they
cited a statement by Secretary
of Agriculture Hyde to the effec+
that "this program avoids dole.
or direct charity from the fedora
treasury, or any implication there

After the debate had ragged 70,

Washington-FP- express
ed by progressives in Washington
that Senators Robinson and Cara
way would listen to "their mas
ter's voice" when Pres. Hoover
brought Harvey Couch, Arkansas
power magnate, to the capital to
argue with them, were realized
when they accepted g compromise
measure for a $50, 900 loan to
farmers in the drouth regions.
In his radio speech OF capitu1a-
ton Robinson asserted that this
compromise supplemented by the
relief afforded by the Red Cross
to those who cannot obtain loans,
will prove satisfactory and highly
beneficial" He did not venture to
say it would be adequate.
BY stopping the fight over food
relief to starving farmers, Hoover
avoids having the Bourbon demo-
cratic group in the senate assist
the progressives in working for an
immediate special session of the
new congress, which. would almost
certainly vote considerable appro-
priations to feed the hungry farm
ers and the unemployed.
He also would save tho power
companies from the danger of rate
reduction activities by state COM
missions, stimulated by the pow
er trust debate which the new con-
gress will promptly begin.
whether the power senators will
be able to save Hoover from a spe-
cial session is still very doubtful.
None of the chief appropriation
bills had been enacted into law
when but Is days of session re-
manned.
Failure of any of the IL regul-
lar appropriation bills to pass by
noon of March 4 will compel the
president to summon the new CON
gress in time to enact that bill
