FARM RELIEF BILL
Lemke Denies Measure Is
InfIationary-Lewis Calls
1t "RuinouS."
BY the Associated Press.

Terming the Frazier -Lemke farm
debt reflnancing bill "a non-partisan
measure, if there ever was one" Rep
resentative Lemke, Republican. of
North Dakota told the House today
this is not imitation unless every Fed
eral Reserve banknote issued is infia-
tion."
He headed the chamber into six
hours of general debate on the con-
troverted bill. walking down into the
House well amid applause both from
his colleagues and farmers crowding
the galleries.
From a high authority connected
with the Federal Land Bank, Lemke
said he had information that the big
gest part of $4,000, 900, 900 of farm in
debtedness would be liquidated unless
the bill were passed and that Is to 20
million men, women and children
would be driven from their homes.
Purpose Of Bill.
The bill would permit refinancing of
cent interest. To provide the money
needed, the bill would authorize sale
of tax-exempt Government bonds. If
these were not readily salable. up to
So, ,00O, ,OO0, 900 of Federal Reserve notes
would be issued.
Lemke claimed there never has
been a bill that has had such public
support" and said it should be accept
ed on its merits rather than on the
basis of what was said about it.
He accused the Farm Credit Admin
istration of using Federal money for
lobbying purposes when it sent to
every member of Congress today a
statement opposing the bill.
Measure Denounced.
Passage of the bill would be ruinous

standing in the United States, exceed.
ing $4,000, and 82.944,000 policies
averaging 5000. These would be
wiped out by the passage
of this legislation. which would be
ruinous to the whole country because
at least one person in every four OF
our population is holder or bene-
ficiary in these policies, Lewis said.
Majority Leader Bankhead said he
wanted to vote it up or down just
like 1t stands, because that's the way
its supporters have made an issue
of it."
The Steering Committee, which was
behind the successful campaign to
bring the bill before the House, was
planning, however, to accept some
changes
Lemke said committee members had
agreed not to oppose an amendment
to eliminate a provision for chattel
mortgage loans of up to IS per cent of
the fair market value of live stock.
Likewise, he said, the committee has
no objection to a projected amend
ment to give the President discretion
to put loose gold" back of new cur

said, but it might improve the public

LONDON, May 12.-The British

charges on the supply of dumdum
bullets sent to Ethiopian forces.
The answer, it was said, will deal

This communication was under

Ethiopian Legation in London of
being jointly connected with supplying
dumdums to Ethiopian warriors.
An authoritative source intimated
that Great Britain would dispose of
Italy's charges not only effectively but
somewhat sensationally, saying: The
British government has a very good

INDIANAPOLIS, May l2.-Indiana,
if the present plans of the Republican
organization are carried out, will send
an uninstructed delegation to the
Republican National Convention.
What the organization leaders will
do with the delegation after it gets
to the convention is the conundrum.
At present, they admit. the majority
of the elegation-which has not yet
been named-would favor the NOM
ination of Gov. ALI M. Landon of
Kansas. At the same time, it is said
there might be a willingness to jump
to Senator Steiwer of Oregon if Ger

Steiwer should make a rousing key

engaged in bitter fight to retain
control. The State committee meets

ROME, May 12.-SuggestionS
that the League of Nations will
be disrupted and that Great
Britain and Italy may break
automatically were made by
Italian sources today.
Senator Roberto Forges Davanzati
stated, following the Italian delega-
tion's withdrawal from Geneva, that
the League would be shattered through
the action of other League members.
Reliable sources said that if British
diplomats continued to flourish the
whip of sanctions" diplomatic break
would be inevitable.

Forges Davanzati, in an editorial il,
La Tribuna, wrote: Since Italo-
Ethiopian affairs continue to be man
aged by Mr.. Eden (the British foreign
secretary who, as good conserva-

the British government the resolu-

with annexation of Ethiopia. Reliable
sources said the Ambassador was in
structed also to try to make Britain
like it."
The italian government adopted an
attitude of maximum reserve"
toward League Council deliberations
over Ethiopia. The controlled press
was ordered to follow this policy in
all comment.
Senate Is Convoked.
The Italian Senate was convoked
for an extraordinary session Saturday,
probably to ratify creation of the new
Italian Empire, and Fascist officials
said Victor Emmanuel might be
crowned Emperor Of Ethiopia at the
sacred city of Aksum.
The hush, hush" tactics employed
In Italy's diplomatic campaign to
maintain its empire already had been
used to advantage in the military
campaign for East African conquest.
