today, and nobody seems to know how

When his name first appeared in

DEBATE ON TARIFF /
UNDERFULLSW SWING.
Vote Not Expected in House
Refore Late Next
Week.

BY the Associated Press.
With indications that the issue
finally would be decided on party
lines, with some Democratic defec-
tions, debate on the administration s
reciprocal tariff bill was under full
swing in the House today. A vote
was not expected before late next
week.
At the outset of debate yesterday
the opposition threw charges of
dictatorship" against the bill, but
proponents held 1t up as the only
device by which America may expand
its foreign markets.
Held Important Phase.
characterized by Chairman Dough-
ton, Democrat, of North Carolina, OF
the Ways and Means Committee as
lone of the most important phases
of the Presidents recovery program,
1t was branded by Representative
Treadway of Massachusetts,, ranking
minority member. as delegating un-
constitutional dictatorship" powers
to the Chief Executive.
President Roosevelt requested the
legislation, which would empower him
to negotiate reciprocal trade agree
ments and rates or lower import
duties so per cent without consent of
Congress.
"Other countries have provided their
executives with authority to negotiate
reciprocal trade agreements, and ma
chinery to meet the ever changing
economic and trade conditions de-
manding prompt action un-
less We provide some machinery
whereby we can successfully compete
with other countries, our foreign
trade unquestionably will continue to
decline, and finally will be reduced
to a negligible quantity" Doughton
said.
Hits Surrender of Power.
This surrender of legislative power
is the method which has been fol-
lowed in many foreign countries in
setting up relationships, and it ap-
pears that we are slowly and grad
ually following their example" Tread
way asserted. In assuming this
power, the President is following no
mandate of the people.
The President seeks to expand our
exports by increasing our imports.
You may increase your purchases from
your neighbor, at your own expense,
but your neighbor will not increase
his purchases from you unless you
undersell your competitors, and
America. neither North, East or South,
can do that and maintain American
standards Of living"

Sounding a battle cry foreshadow-
ing the Fall elections, Senators Hast
ings OF Delaware. chairman of the
Senatorial Campaign Committee, and
F'eSs of Ohio, former chairman of the
Republican National Committee,
charged yesterday on the Senate floor
that Democrats have failed to carry
out dozen platform promises. The
Republican solons insisted that the
opposition has brought about a situa-
ton where capital and labor are at
each others throatS.
Hastings assailed cancellation of
airmail contracts, N r. A. policies
and Rooseveltian advisers. Senator
Metcalf, Republican, of Rhode Island.
joined in the attack to call the tariff
bill now before the House a drastic
abdication of the powers of Congress >
He said the N. r. A. policies had
placed the Nation in a straight
jacket" and the mail contracts were
Cancelled without the operators being
given a hearing just to add to the
prestige of the new deal"
Chairman Black. Democrat. of Ala
bama, Of the Airmail Investigating
Committee interrupted the Delaware
Senator to say the contracts were
annulled in the same manner an in
dividual would act If he found he had
been fraudulently sold suit

said the Democrats had ignored were

penditures, a sound currency, a COM
petitive tariff for revenue, extension
of credit" to States for unemployment
relief and the spreading of employ
ment by reduced hours.
While the administration was urg-
ing private industry to raise wages

NEW A|RMA|L BILL
APPROVAL |SSEEN
Senator Mcclellan Predicts
Revised Measure Will
Be Passed.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Chairman McKellar of the Senate
Post Office Committee predicted to-
day his revised permanent airmail
bill would be reported favorably to
the Senate floor within the next few
days.
Study of the measure, containing
many criticized provisions, will begin
today if possible. he said.
The bill. which is understood to
contain notifications recommended
by the administration, was offered in
the Senate yesterday by both Nc
Kellar and Chairman Black of the
Airmail Investigating Committee.
1t was considered significant that
this step came soon after an airmail
General Cummings and officials of
the Post Office and Commerce Depart
mentS the day before.
Debate Is Seen.
Although several drastic provisions
of the original bill are somewhat soft
ened, the new measure retains many
of the clauses which have aroused
controversy in the committee. Sharp
debate is assured when it reaches the
Senate floor.
Companies having claims against
the Government for cancellation of
their contracts by Postmaster General
Farley, in February, would be per-
mitted to seek redress in the Court OF
Claims, year being allowed for that
purpose.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion would be authorized to establish
routes after four-year period, in
stead of three years as in McKellar's s
first bill. which was severely attacked
by Charles A. Lindbergh and others.
At that time it could extend existing
contracts for period of three years
without competitive bidding. Exten-
sion of such contracts by Walter F.
Brown. former Postmaster General,
was one of the targets of the lnvesti-
eating committee.
Competitive bidding would be re-
quired on the initial letting of con-
tracts when the mail was returned to
private lines from Army planes.
The clause authorizing the Post
master General to determine whether
bidders were responsible is amended
so as to grant an appeal to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. which
would have final authority.
Four transcontinental routes would
be provided instead of three, as for
merly carried the mail.
Co-pilOts Required.
The revised bill still carries the
controversial clause requiring that
private mail planes carry Army CO.
pilots. This has been attacked by
private companies on the ground that
no opportunity would be afforded for
training their pilots, and that service
to passengers would suffer.
Airmail postage, which in the first
bill was fixed at 5 cents instead Of
the present cents per ounce, would
be established at cents.
The new BILL like the old, would
require reorganization of the compa-
nies whose officers participated in the
now famous airmail conference held
by former Postmaster General Brown.
Some hint of the expected debate
was given yesterday by Senator Hast
ings Of Delaware. chairman of the
Senatorial Campaign Committee, in
a general attack on the adminiStra-
ton. He contended the public was
not convinced there had been fraud
in the making of the airmail con-
tracts.

Method Be Found to Bring
About Competition.

peated his insistence that some new
method be found to bring about COM
petitive prices in the steel industry.

mission that price fixing in the in

The Farm Administration may ask
John Brandt, president of the Land

prove at formal hearing, charges he
made against Secretary Wallace.
Meanwhile, in the absence of the
Secretary of Agriculture, his indig-
nant assistants have barred Brandt
from the Department of Agriculture
and the Farm Administration He
was informed he would not be well
coined unless he retracted statements
about Wallace or apologiZed
Back of the furor is dissatisfaction
by some cooperative officials with
the administration milk policies.
Wallace Called Unreliable"
Brandt said before representatives
Of dairy cooperative marketing asso-
cations called to draft protest
against the administration milk poll
cies, that Wallace was unreliable"
and had failed to carry out an agree
ment TO purchase butter bought by
Land OIakes to stabilize the market.
The Farm Administration denied
the charges in a statement which de-
clared that the company was paid
Sll ,085.53 in addition to the cost of
the butter to cover overhead expenses.
and added that the company agreed
to handle the transaction without
profit
officials declared they would con-
slider further payment if Brandt would
submit an itemized statement of ex-
penditures, but that so far he had
failed to do so.
Another Critic Hit.
Other repercuSsions to claims made
by representatives attending the con-
ference included a denial sent to Sec
retary Wallace from a California milk
producers association that Roy M.
Pike of Oakland. Calf, a critic OF
farm officials, represented Western
dairy interests.
The cooperative conference mean
while has drawn up resolutions for
submission to group OF Congressman.
The resolutions assail the admins
tration's latest milk policy of setting
only producers prices and the pro-
posed production control plan.
