SENATE APPROVES
FARM RELIEF BILL
-
KcNary-Haugen Measure Is
Adopted By a Vote of
47 to 39.
Washington, D. C The MeNary
H.usgen furm Btulillliatlcm bill was
pr.ssed by the senate by vote of 47
to 89.
Virtually the same tennte thnt de
f it id the measure, 45 to 39, last set
s' hi. adopted the bill, which the farm
bloc believes will materially reduce
the troubles of farmers by a system
of government loans to enable them
to withhold surplus products from the
open market until "a fair price" can
be obtained.
Favorable action In the house was
anticipated by both proponents and
opponents, but there was uncertainty
as to the attitude of President Cool
Idge.
Oregon and Washington senators
gave a solid vote for the McNary
H.iugen farm bill In the senate. Borah
of Idaho voted against the bill and
Gooding of that state for tt. The man
ner In which the farm relief bill would
affect the product of the farmer It
described as follows:
Whenever a surplus of wheat, swine,
corn, cotton, rice or tobacco exlrts. a
federal farm board, to be selected by
the president, would declare an enter
gency to exist in the market of the
pecified product.
Then this board would authorise the
lending of any necessary amount from
the f 250 000,000 federal revolving fund
to cooperative organisations of farm
ers throughout the country. With thli
loan, bearing 4 per cent Interest, the
cccpcrativo organisation would be em
powered to pay the farmer a certain
fair price for his product, rcgardlest
of the market price. The cooperative
organization would hold the product
from the market until the price came
baik to the fair price level.
For this guarantee of a fair price
the farmer would pay a certain per
centage of bis product as delivered
to the cooperative organisation. Thl
percentage Is called an equalisation
fee and would reimburse the govern
m.nt with interest for the loans and
tlso pay the operating expenses ol
'he cooperative organisation.
SENATE TABLES
G0URTPRQP0SAL
Wash:rtgtcn. D. C The senate voted
overwhelmingly against reconsidering
the questions of American adherence
to the world court.
A motion by Senator TrammeU.
democrat of Florida, to discharge the
senate foreign relations committee
from further action on his resolution
wlthdravlng the United States from
the court, was tabled by a vote of S9
to 10. The action of tabling in the
senate kills any proposal so treated, i
The British reply on the American
world court reservations was received
at the state department and was re
ported to be virtually a rejection of
the fifth American reservation. At the
Geneva conference last year the sig
natory powers accepted the first four
reservations, but rejected the last,
through which America refused with
out its consent to permit an advisory
opinion by the court on matters In
which the United States has or claims
an interest.
