GEORGIAN LEADS : ; TREATYJATTLE ; WASHINGTON, March 28 (INS) . An antl new dal Democrat, j Senator George (D, Ga.), Thurs- '. day led the Roosevelt admlnlitra- - tien fight for extension of the re I ciprocal trade treaty law, against Z a strong bipartisan opposition. , George told his colleagues this particular new deal program must be carried forward, and must not be hampered by amendments re- , quiring senate ratification of the - , treaty. "When war shall have ceased," - said George, "and the world at- ; tempts to readjust itself, and even - beore peace comes, It Is impera ' tive to retain this law as an In- I strument to protect ourselves and ' eur commerce. "Without this there would be no machinery with which to meet this situation. This is the only step taken by any great nation look- . Ing to readjustment of commerce on a fair basis after war." The Georgian's remarks came as trade treaty opponents predicted t Vice President Gamer would vote for senate ratification of the tree- . ties if the opportunity presented - itself. I
