Twice the Congress has gone
over the head of the President to
pass a law over his veto, the first
being a bill extending the time for
veterans to extend their insurance
and the second being the measure
to lower the interest rates on farm
mortgages. Moreover, there has
been some insurgency in regards
to the sugar bill, particularly in
the House, which passed meas
ure not satisfactory to the White
House, or to three departments
of the government which actively
opposed the bill. However, a
lobby of powerful strength work
ed up the heat and last week, as
the Senate prepared to take up
the matter, there was talk of eff
forts to get satisfactory COM
promise that would agreebly set
tie this vexatious problem.

Last week both houses were
busy trying to get through with
legislation that could not wait
and hoping that nothing would
happen to mar plans for quitting
at the end of this week. Final ac-
ton was being speeded on the
court and wage bills, with hous-
ing and sugar legislation giving
some concern but nothing that
banished the hope that the ses-
sion would end. The most seri-
Gus menace to leaving Washing
ton was the situation caused by
the big cotton crop, with tumb-
ling prices, leading Southern
members to demand government
loans on the cotton crop.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-08-16

You can take it for certain that
the President lost no time in
pointing out to those rushing in
to the White House for aid that
the situation was just about what
he had warned them of when the
Supreme Court struck down the
AAA. Largely because of that
control, and the drought, crop
supplies had dwindled and their
prices moved upward. Now, with
large yield predicted, the mar
ket for cotton reacted and there
were plain indications that it
might collapse if there was moth
ing 10 prevent unlimited produe-
ton in the future.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-08-16

This played into the Presidents
hands because he will decide
whether the loans are to be re-
newed and his insistence upon
crop control before loans are
made practically forced recalci-
trant Congressman to agree to
get busy and pass some form leg
islation. Strong sentiment came
from many sections of the coun-
try to bolster demand for adequ-
ate crop control laws, not only in
respect to cotton, but for other
crops as we'll. Nobody knows
what situation will confront the
growers of our great farm prod
ucts that must compete with world
production and accept the world
price unless assisted by the gov
ernment.
