The Wrecking Crew Busy Again
THE senate wrecking crew put in a fall day Saturday. Led
by the recalcitrant Norris of Nebraska "the coalition of
republican guerillas and democratic gorillas attached the ex
port debenture program to the pending tariff bill. This ex
port debenture provision had previously been annexed to the
farm relief bill by the same combination of insurgents and
democrats. The house forced its elimination from the farm
relief bill. At that time threat was made that it would be
tacked on to the tariff bin, and the. group made good on the
threat. . .
The debenture provision is the old export bounty plan
which has been urged by the national grange. It would em
power the farm board to issue debentures to exporters of
farm products In an amount up to one-half of the tariff on
such products. These debentures would be acceptable in
payment of customs duties and under the Norris provision
would be redeemed by the U. S. treasurer at 98.
- There is no question about what the fate of the debent
ure-provision will be. The house rejected it decisively before,
and will do so probably more sharply at this time. Should
the tariff bill reach the president with the debenture pro
vision m it, a veto would be promptly forthcoming. The pur

schedules mayl- ail in important sections. J
The chances of any tariff legislation at all grow exceed
ingly dubious. President Hoover is none too friendly to the
measure, and unless the senate bill is radically modified it
will be vetoed even if it should pass. The prospect of the
passage of any bill at all is slim. The gulf between the house
and the senate is too deep to be bridged with a few friendly
compromises. Congressman Hawley will not recognize his
child when the senate surgeons get through with their plas
