Amendment to Army Bill Provides
for Sale of Chemical Direct to
- Farmer by Secretary of Ag
riculture in Peace Time.
WASHINGTON, April 12. Favorable
action by the Senate on the proposal to I W
construct a huge hydro-electric air
nitrogen plant for the manufacture of
powder in war times and fertilizer in
peace was forecast today when a mo
tion by Senator Hardwick to strike out
the fertilizer feature of the pending
amendment to the Army bill was de
feated 47 to 24.
The amendment, introduced by Sen
ator Smith, of South Carolina, was
under discussion all day. It provides
for a plant with an ultimate cost of
$15,000,000, the surplus nitric acid over
what may be needed for powder is to
go into fertilizer to be sold directly to
the farmers by the Secretary of Agri
culture. Plan Denounced a Socialistic.
Senator Hardwick declared the plan
aocialistic and repubnant to the spirit
of Democracy. Senator Sutherland
questioned the constitutionality of the
fertilizer proposal, although ho said
there could be no question as to the
Government's power to manufacture
chemicals for its own military needs.
Senator Hardwick's motion was de
feated by the votes of 38 Democrats
and nine Republicans, the latter being
Senators Clapp, Cummins, Gronna, Ken
yon. La Follette, McCumber, Norris,
Poindexter and Sherman. The Demo
crats who voted for it were Senators
Hardwick, Overman, Poferene, Smith of
Georgia and Stone.
With the Hardwick proposal out of
the way Senator Underwood proposed
to add a paragraph to the Smith
amendment authorizing the Secretary
of War to purchase or lease rights to
the most suitable process for the pro
duction "of air nitrogen and also to
lease the proposed plant, .should he so
desire, for private manufacture of fer
tilizer iu peace times.
Western Power Sites Mentioned.
'Senator Hardwick again assailed the
plan, asserting that, while the Smith
amendment was bad enough, the
Underwood proposal was worse. Sen
ator Walsh discussed Senator Under
wood's original amendment to the
Army bill, proposing an investigation
by the War Department of the whole
question of air nitgogen manufacture,
and said its terms were such as to pre
vent the selection of any site but the
Muscle Shoals project in Alabama. He
gave figures as to available sites in
Montana and Idaho.
Senator Underwood disclaimed any-
such intention, and called attention to
the fact that he had abandoned his
own amendment in favor of the Smith
plan, which he was merely seeking to I
perfect.
The Underwood amendment was still
pending when the Senate recessed until
tomorrow. The Army bill will take up
the faenate s entire time now until
final vote is reached on April 18. under I
the agreement reached last week.
