The farm relief program of the Hoover administration, a program with the much discussed debentures no part of it, was lauded and denounced in turn last evening in radio addresses by two members of the Senate who red pr:{;\lnenuy in the long legislative e. The bill which President Hoover aigned yesterday with evident satisfac- tion was described as “a happy solu tion of a perplexing problem.” by Senator Henry J.

Nevada Democrat, who asserted that in passing the bill “the Republican administration has violated its pledges to the farmers of the eountry.” Diseuss History of Measure, The two Senators discussed the | history of the passage of the bill and gave ‘their views on what may be expected to develop from its provisions, in addresses broadcast. over a coast- to-coast network of stations as features of the National Radio Forum, arranged by The Star and sponsored by the Columbia Broadcasting System. Senator Allen, who succeeded 1o the seat held formerly by Vice President Curtis, did not stop with an expression of gratification over the passage of the farm bill. He predicted that the tariff bill passed by the Senate—"if one is passed”—will be “a very dif- terent bill from the one coming from the House." Sees Borah Resolution 0. K. Asserting that President Hoover called Congress intn extraordinary session to sccomplish tariff revision with special reference to agricultural products, he described the House tariff bill as one that would sel. up “an astonishing revi- sion of schedules.” Senator Allen expressed the opinion that the Senate ihr:wrek will pass the Borah resolution under which the Senate finance com- mittee, which has the tariff bill in charge. would be instructed to limit revision to agricultural schedules. “Passage of that resolution will he grim notice on the House that the Senate intends to follow ouf the Re- publican party’s pledges in the presi- dential campaign.” he: declared.

May Modify Resolution. | * While Republican leaders of the Sen- ate admitted Fridey night, when the | Senate quit work until tomerrow, that the Borah resolution had enough votes 10 be 2dopted, there were iniuences at | work which may prevent the adoption | of the resolution, or at least modify it Ther ng s Senate itsegt ;lhlt the ’v‘l:a 2 ) it. passed the House pro grea a revision of the rates upward on many commodities and that 1t will tate against farmer rather than his interest. hlf is this l(;enn( whkh!nn:;: the Borah proposal support. end this sentiment is likely to result in materially reduced rates in some of the tariff schedules Awhen the bill passes the Senate. ‘While the Norris debenture amend- ment to the tariff bill, which has the approval of Senator Borah, is in Mo; recommendations on the contrary is in o~ dent’s Tecommendation for a limited revision of the tariff, -« == Democratic Support. Senator Borah will have with him in the contest. over his resolution many of the Democrats and all of the Republican insurgents, who stood for debenture in the farm bill fight. He will have at least two other Republican Senators who voted with the President on debenture and against Senator Borah. They are Senators Capper and Allen of Kansas. Senator Borah's resolution provides: _ “Whereas, it is the sense of the Sen. ate that any amendment to the exist- ing tariff law should be sonfined to ag- riculture and directly related products: Now. therefore. be it “Resolved, That the commi rt upon H. R. 2667 (the "epo! . R. ( tartff bill) to the agricultural and di- | rectly related schedules.” To this resolution Senator Jones of ‘Washington has an amendment pend- ing providing that “any other line of production that has been in a depressed condition during the last year or more, traceable fo steadilv increasing com- petitive imports” shall also be given consideration. Adoption of the Jones resolution— which is designed particularly to cover shingles, a product of his State, whiciy | in the House bill has been taken from the free list and made dutiable—would |in effect throw the door wide open, it | is said. for a general revision of the tariff, which Senator Borah is secking to avoid. Demand Explanation. Opponents of the Borah proposal will | demand that Senator Bong state ape- cifically what he means by “agricultural and reiated schedules” in resolution. If he fails to include ofl, textiles, shin- gles, sugar and a number of other | products in his explanation he is likely {to lose votes for his resolution, it was | said last night. And if he includes them, he is likely to reduce the éfect | of his resolution. Tt was suggested that Senator Pine of Oklahoma might balk leration; Caro- if ofls were left out of cos that Senator Simmons of North lina would demand that ‘textiles be included in consideration of the.tariff, and that Senator Dill of Washington, like Senator Jones, would be interested |in the tariff on shingles. All threc of | these Senators voted with Senator Borah | in_the debenture fight. House leaders are not taking kindly to the proposal of Senator Borah to throw the House tariff bill into the discard and write a Senate bill con- fined to the agricultural schedule and a few other commodities. Speaker Long- worth was quoted yesterday as declaring that if the Borah resolution were put through, the Senate need net lock to the ‘House for any concurtence in a resolution to take a recess for the next two months while the Senate finance commitiee deals with the tariff bill, | (Confinued on Page 5, Calumn 3.
