ROBINSON MEETS HILLQUITIN DEBATE Pemocrat Lauds Roosevelt’s Efforts While Socialist Condemns Them. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, March 20.—The Roose- velt program for economic rehabilita- tion was hailed by the Democratic Sen- ate leader as pointing the way to a new | S and healthier era and was assailed by the national chairman of the Socialist 5 o party as short-sighted and ineffective in a debate last night. Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ar- kansas, declaring the Congress is “in a mood to act quickly for the common good,” said an “impressive” record al- readv had been achieved with the pas- sage of beer and banking legislation. He added the speedy enactment of farm and unemployment relief measures “ap- pears to be certain.” Morris Hillquitt, national Socialist chairman, recited his version of what & national program for the relief of “all classes of our citizens” should embrace and declared the Democratic party “has neither the vision nor the desire nor the capacity to carry out such a pro- Attacks Remedial Plans. “Its diagnosis of the prevailing dis- tress is all wrong,” he added. “Its pre- scribed remedies are totally ineffective.” Robinson, declaring that while the emergency steps already taken by the Roosevelt administration constitute an impressive record, “it by no means em- braces in de#ail the task that is be- fore us.” “Impressive as this record is, it by no means embraces in detail the task that 1s before us on the long, and what may seem at times the slow, process of bringing back the day when we shall all be privileged once more to enjoy the right to work and obtain for our fam- 1lies the necessities of normal existence. “There are other problems to be con- sidered and faced. With many of these, notably relief of agriculture and diminu- tion of unemployment, the administra- tion already has come to grips. Presi- dent Roosevelt, despite the pressure of the problems he has already attacked, has recommended to the Congress meas- ures dealing with both these problems. Their speedy enactment, with such Praises Moratorium. Praising the President’s action in banking emergency, Robinson said his “banking moratorium” came with a “ring of confidence” and instead of alarming the country “it seemed to cheer it up.” “More important still,” he added, “is the fact the President by his ac- tions has made possible the reformation and reconstruction of our banking sys- tem. * * * Intelligent and comprehen- sive banking reform is the need of the hour. The President has proposed, and the Congress has approved, the initial Hillquit said President amendments as may be deemed neces- sary, appears to be certain.” Roosevelt “saved the country from threatened disaster” in the banking crisis. “But by what methods and at what cost,” he added. “The Government has prac- tically taken over the deficits of our insolvent banks and agreed to keep| the institutions afloat by generous loans and outright contributions to ! their impaired capital. Thus the banking fraternity, which for years has been unmercifully fleecing the people and finally found itself at the end of its rope * * * finds itself rehabilitated and reinstated in business with a new license to prey upon the people.” Urges Workers’ Party. Declaring both the Republican and ! Democratic parties “aim primarily at the | maintenance of the capitalist system,” Hillquit said, “the much needed radical reconstru€tion of our economic life can only be accomplished by a party of the | roducing classes of our people on a 1d platform of social ownership and operation of the Nation's industries.” Hillquit criticized the administration’s proposal to establish labor camps as ! an unemployment relief aid, declaring the crestion of such camps would be “both reactionary and ineffective.” “At the utmost,” he said, “they would provide work for about 2 per cent of the unemployed.” Asserting it was “quite likely” condi- tions would improve to a considerable extent during the next four years, Hill- quit said: “If that should happen, the Demo- cratic party will be as little responsi- ble for the economic improvement as ;he Republican party was for the col- apse.” ENGLAND SUSPENDS | TREATY NEGOTIATIONS Commercial Relations With Russia at Present Held to Be Useless. By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 20.—Negotiations for renewal of a commercial treaty be- tween Great Britain and Soviet Russia have been suspended, the House of Commons was informed today. “In the present circumstances,” said Capt.

The Pprisoners are charged with sabotage. HOMESICK AT 75, KILLED County Home Inmate, Running Away, Hit by Auto.

By the Associated Press. | Passage of the administration’s emer- gency farm bill in the House by Wed- nesday night was predicted today by Representative Byrns of Tennessee, the Democratic leader. Byrns said the bill would be reqdy for consideration on the floor tomar- | row and that two or three hours of | general debate was planed before the measure is ready for amendments. | The Tennesseean said he favored per- mitting members to offer amendments instead of employing an iron-clad rule to push the measure through un- changed. The Democratic leader said his party had ample strength to protect the measure from any amendments con- sidered harmful by Secretary Wallace and his advisers. ‘The Agriculture Committee arranged & meeting today to take final action on the plan. The measure before it is designed to boost the purchasing power of the farmers by curtailing pro- duction of basic comniodities and levy- ing p processing tax to raise funds for | paying growers benefits or rent on withdrawn acreage. A committee of the American Cotton Shippers’ Association attacked the bill last night, saying that it held “no hope for success.” The committee assailed | in particular the powers given the | Secretary of Agriculture.
