mittee discharged in time SO a House
vote can be secured before the Con-
gress adjourns. So far, the commit
tee has been sitting tight on the bill,
not even having held any hearings
on it, and the chairman frankly states
that it is not his intention or that
of the administration to bring it up.
Therefore, the discharge rule is for
the only hope of the friends of the bill.
That rule, of course, found its way
into the rules that govern the House
at the insistence of liberal minorities
who had been baked in attempts to
bring up legislation which admins
tration leaders at that time frOwned
upon, but which majority of senti-
ment was known to favor. With some
changes from time to time, it has
remained. A move to remove the rule
at the beginning of this session was
killed even before it had fairly be-
gun But it is not proof against the
sharp tactics which leaders can re-
sort to if they wish to do so.
Along with the Frazier bill. for in

desk after his brief rest was to de-
clare his definite opposition to the
bill, seems to show that the House
leaders will take such course unless
the Chief Executive can be persuaded
to change his position. There is a
faint chance that he might be brought
to accept the modified bill, which
only proposes to pay the one hundred
per cent of deposits to those whose
deposits amount to less than $4,000.
Larger depOsitors would receive grad
uated portions of their total deposits.
The revised bill does make one
change which i'm the writer's estima-
ton is most desirable. Whereas the
original proposal only referred to
state and national banks that were
members of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN, the amended bill applies to all
closed banks, state and national as
well. Inasmuch as statistics show
clearly that depositors in the small
banks were most heavily hit, such
a change seems to be only fair. One
editorial writer pointed out that of
the eighteen billions tied up in the

and under certain stated restrictions
on the time for debate and the right
to amend the bill. So friends of the
bill now have filed a request for such
rule, and have given notice that if
the Rules committee fails to act with
in weeks time, petition will be
filed to discharge the rules commit
tee just as the banking committee
was discharged from further consid-
Grafton.
But unfortunately the Rules Com
mittee has the best of it. The COM
mittee can report the special rule.
BUT-the chairman can carry it
around in his pocket until the day of
adjournment without asking the
Speaker for recognition to bring it up.
Friends of the bill can complain and
protest as loudly and as often as they
desire, but if the party chiefs do re-
sort to such unfair, although legal,
methods and are willing to take the
criticism for it, that is all there is
to it. The bill will not be considered,

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
By CONG. JOHN PAUL KVALE

The Frazier bill for farm mortgage
refinancing and for currency and
credit expansion suffered a severe set
back this week, when the Speaker led
an open fight by the administration
against the measure. The petition
for discharge of the committee, which
had been collecting signatures stead
lily until nearly the entire las names
needed had been attached, was the
object of attack. with the result that
several members were persuaded to
remove their names.

Ike is leading a determined counter
attack for the return of the names
which have been withdrawn. and for

Slow Population Growth
 Revealed in Australia

CANBERRA, Dec 1.-The pop ulation of Australia has increased to 6,656,912, according to govern. ment figures for 1884 but the dwin- ding birth rate, always notorious ly low, and the cessation of immi- grafton have slowed the increase to scant 50,000 a year, sh
 The birth rate in 1883 was 1878 a thousand, the lowest on record and one of the lowest in the world. The average Australian mother has 289 children.
 The trend from farm to city con- tinues unabated. More than third of the nation lives in the two prin- cipal cities, Sydney and Melbourne.
 Leading Australian economists doubt, however, whether the coup- try needs more population. They say 1O,000,O00 inhabitants are all that Australia ever can absorb.
