ministration opposed direct labor
amendment. Another meeting was
called for later In the day.
Washington, April 3-ReRe-
sentiment at remarks by Senator
Robinson Of Arkapsas, the Demo-
cratic leader, smouldered Tuesday
among senators who wrote the wage
amendment which has stirred up Z
dispute delaying final action on the
a, 90. 900. 900 work relief bill.
They met to decide whether to re-
sign from the conference committee
charged with settling congressional
differences over the measure. Prior
to their meeting Senator Glass
(Dem., vaJ asserted that Robinson
had reflected upon the ability Of the
conferees to carry out their duty
conscientiously.
He referred to the Arkansan's asser.
tion Monday that It was ''regrettable
that the custom has prevailed In the
senate Of too frequently committing
. bill to its enemies"
At the heart Of the controversy be.
tween the two southerners was an
amendment which would require that
one third Of the 100000, 900 set
aside IN the works bill for loans and
grants to states and local govern
ments be spent directly for labor.
In m effort to eliminate this re-
quirement, the house sent tho
measure back to conference Monday
after hearing that was what Presi-
dent Roosevelt wanted It to do.
Glass then asserted that he might
decline to serve In q new conference
on the measure. II he continued on
the committee, he said. he would not
yield to the administrat tons desire
for elimination Of the wage amend.

section Of the Frazier-Lemke farm

washington. April 2.--(P)-Close
questioning by members Of the SUI
preme court accompanied the OPEN

bunal Tuesday on the constitutional
ity Of the Frazier-Lemke farm mort.

John w. Davis, white -haired cor.
poratton lawyer, who was the Demo-

assailed the act as arbitrary, capri.

The law was defended by one Of its
authors. Rep. Lemke CR-N.DD. an d

President Roosevelt, who when he
signed the act year ago said it was
loosely worded" and would require
amendment" was quoted by Davis in
his arguments as saying 1T will pre-
vent deficiency judgments, q form Of
liability which in the Judgment Of

Davis commented that II am con.
strained to say that Notwithstanding

may hold, I think the abolishment OF

Lemke told the court that the
statute isn't an emergency law, but

law was to save agriculture and pre-

Peterson was asked by Chief Justice

REJECT GERMAN PROPOSAL

Washington, April 2.-(R-To its
policy Of attempting to revive foreign
trade by . series Of give-aud.take
treaties with other countries, the
United States has added Tuesday an
open warning that 1t will hit back at
nations which discriminate against
American goods.
President Roosevelt made known
that the government Is studying the
question Of ending existing trade
pacts with Germany, Italy. Denmark
and Portugal. As he proclaimed Z
new reciprocal treaty between Bel
gium and the United States, the pres
ident outlined the foreign trade pol.
icy in . letter to Secretary ,Morgen-
thau.
The presidents letter did not 60
into the details Of the "discrimina-
tion." Economists long have been
noting, however, . multiplicity OF de.
wees to channel trade In the modern
world-including tariffs, exchange
controls, quota systems and sanitary
restrictions.
Reject German Plan
Germany. trying to increase Ger
man exports, advocates forced hilat.
eral trade balancing-e system
whereby goods and services exchanged
between two countries would bal
ance. The state department, In Q
statement Monday. rejected this idea.
It held that allotment Of foreign ex.
change, instead Of being used to work
toward such bilsteral balancing,
should be adjusted to the natural
flow Of trade"
italy controls imports by . highly
centralized system. Some officials
hold that the limitations discriminate
against American foreign trade.
Dividing the worlds trading ma
tions, big and little, into three cate
gories, the president directed the
treasury department to extend all
tariff reductions and other conces-
sions granted In the Belgian-Ameri-
can pact-which becomes effective
May lon this basis:
Three Trade Categories
l.-Canada, the Netherlands and its
colonies, Spain, and switzerland and
Iiechtenstein, which are not negoti-
ating trade pacts with the United
States, are to be given advantage Of
the reduced rates for six months, de-
spite the fact that they now are
granting less favorable treatment to
American trade than to other coun-
tries.
2.-Germany. Italy. Denmark, and
Portugal and its colonies-which are
considered as unjustly discriminating
against American goods-are granted
the reduced duties and concessions
pending a decision as to whether
trade pacts now In force should be
terminated.
3-Other countries will receive al
benefits arising from the pact With
out time limit, but with Q warning
that some slight discrimination"
must be removed.
