Bur objected to tho form In which these sections wero worded, and pro posed the Hawloy bill, as a substi tute. Under the substitute measures the finance corporation would be em powered to loan to states "upon a showing to the satisfaction of the corporation as to the necessity for funds for such a purpose and that all reasonable means of otherwise ob taining such funds have been ex hausted." "Loans would not be made except upon the application of the chlei executive of tho state pursuant U appropriate authorization of its legis lature." The corporation would be allowed to make advances to states which were not authorized by their consti tutions to borrow. Such advances would only be made, however, when tho governor gave as sure nee he would recommend legis lative action to provide for repayment of the advances. If tho funds were not repaid they would be deducted from future federal aid appropria tions. The other Hawley bill In doubling tho borrowing power of the recon struction corporation would allow five-year loans to states, counties, municipalities or private corporations fur construction of eelf liquidating projects. It would authorize the reconstruc tion corporation to turn $50,000,000 over to the farm board for loans to co-operatlvcs associations and ollo cae the same amount to the secre tary of agriculture for exporting agri cultural surpluses. Introduction of tho Hawley bills came shortly after tho unofficial house Republican steering commit tee had mot and agreed to exert every effort to defeat tho Garner relief plan.

POLING LEAVES ALLIED FORCES (Continued From Page One) challenge or bo destroyed. Tho advo cates of modification or repeal should not ask for a- plank which clouds tao major Issue. Wo ask for a clcarcdt indictment of lawlessness. "Let the platform recognize on hon est difference of opinion on the eighteenth amendment. Let the plat form bring forward tho constitutional procedure alreadv nrovldcri for t.hn expression of the people's wl Let tho provision of article 6 for amend ing tho constitution bo frankly stat ed. . . . 'Let the platform go a step farther Let It face tho fact that itenatorsand congressmen In states and districts 'which have a decisive sentiment ror By J. R. Williams change, should not be counted either for or against the eighteenth amend, ment merely because they vote to re submit the question Itself. I can see where It would be altogether feasible to write one plank for both party platforms a plank at once loyal to the constitution . and representative government, fair to both sides and offering to each full opportunity to win on merit."
