Republican leader in the senate, it is learned, have pledged enough votes to assure passage of the administration's program for. tag relief of agriculture, as urged in the special me swage of President Harding to congress. The program calls for sidetracking the No iris bill for creation of a 1100.000,000 Farm Export corporation, enacting in its stead a measure which would broaden the powers of the War Finance corpor ation to enable it to grant' credits to farmers. .Such a measure was Introduced by Senator Kellogg of Minnesota Tuesday Slid its consideration immediately was begun. BAILROAD FLAX OPPOSED Leaders believe also that the presi dent's suggestion for paying $600,000,000 to the railroads through the War Fi nance corporation, at the same time funding the Indebtedneas of the rail- reada to the government, will DS ep- But more difficulty la antlci- In this direction. The agrarian Is counted on to oppose the pro- aid to the railroad If it would any way interfere with assistance to agriculture and some hostility is ex pected on the grounds, that the arrange ment constitutes a "subsidy" to rail- fpaaa. p The president's message was referred to the inter-state commerce committee, d from its hands railroad legislation twill come. It is expected the bill was proved.

Credit tg likewise made aqcss sfbis to banking institutions for the sums kind of financing ana tne corpora tion to given poorer in exceptional cases to purchase agricultural securities from banking institutions. The benefits of the bill are made available also to the livestock Industry. At present, the credit facilities of the corporation are only for the purpose of stimulating exports. The total credits which the corpora tion would have power to grant would bo 1. 000.000,000. SO BITTING OF PRODUCTS Senator Kellogg, in explaining the bill, said that the government would not enter into the business of buying and selling farm products, as under the Norris bill. It was to this provision of the Norris bill that there wag greatest objection from the administration. Senator Norris asked, when Kellogg's bill was introduced, if there would be any objection to members of the com mittee Of agriculture remaining in the senate chamber while It was being read. "The members Of that committee have not been able to learn anything about it," said Norris, adding that while it had been known for some days that a bill was being prepared "secretly,'' members of the committee had been unable to obtain information on it. He criticised what ha said was the "inter ference of cabinet members,' Kellogg said ho considered Norris remarks unjustified and said introduc tion of the bill was not a reflection on him. The Norris bill, Kellogg ex plained, contained features to which be and other senators objected. SUPPORT IS ASSUMED Later Norris said that while the sub stitute measure would not be accepted by him and other members of the agri cultural group, its passage- was assured.

These bonds will be given by the railroads for their Indebtedness to the government. Then they win bo floated by the corporation. The money thus derived will bo paid to the railroads in settlement of their claims against the government. 'No ap propriation from congress would be re quired. The president explained that the gov ernment is obligated to fund tne rail roads' indebtedness for capital expendi tures, and at the same time to bound to make prompt settlement of the just claims of the roads. He said that aa agreement had been reached under which the roads would waive, for the time, claims arising over the alleged "in- efficlency of labor," which have Ob structed settlements. TWO CAUSES OF DISTRESS "The after-war distress of the two treat fundamental activitiea have been given (be anxious attention of the coun try." said the preaident. "One Is the readjustment and restoration of agrlcul ture, the other is the distress of our railway transportation system. The Importance attached to the rail road project is evidenced by words of the president: "Railway solvency and efficiency are essential to our healthful industrial. commercial and agricultural lift.
