1t was announced that Senator Wa
terman, Republican, of Colorado, would
have voted against the bill.
Others paired, but not announced,
were Glass, Morrison, Logan and Long,
Democrats, and Dickinson, Fess, Glenn,
Davis and Goldsborough, Republicans.
Debate in the Senate on the relief
bill was Of the rapid-fire kind. Speeches,
for the most part. were short and to
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, who called the measure up under
unaniomus consent, contented himself
with an explanation of it and the
statement that many who opposed relief
legislation earlier in the session were
now convinced Of its necessity.
A high light was the debate between
Reed and Borah, outstanding spokes-
men Of two conflicting theories of gov
ernment.
Reed said Historians of the future
will point to today as one Of the mile
stones in the disintegration of the
American Republic"
Reed predicted the money which the
bill proposes to advance to the States
would not be repaid and said he was
not persuaded" that the Federal Gov
ernment has an obligation to care fol
the unemployed.
Takes Issue With Reed.
Senator Robinson took issue with
Reeds statement that the advances
would not be repaid and asked II the
Pennsylvania felt the Government
should take no action.

I'VE are today lifting the lid oi
Pandora's box and the troubles to come
will be overwhelming.
1T is the first step toward making
the States. The pressure for further
advances will be irresistible, and Con-
gress will not be able to Withstand the
demands next December"
Borah, replying, said the Nation
faced national emergency, a national
disaster" because Of depression which
was worse and more deep-seated than
those that have come before.
He said Reeds prophecy might be
justified. If the Federal Government
were embarking on new policy, but
contended it was not new because re-
lief had been extended to distressed citi-
zens over and over before.
1T has been said we are approaching
or rather reaching what took place In
old Rome" Borah said. ITO my mind
the conditions are as wide apart as
