By EDWARD W. PICKARD L' ARM relief legislation as drafted by the house committee on agriculture and approved by the President won out easily In the lower house of congress after several days of debate. Representative Cannon of Missouri tried to get through an equalization fee amendment, but It was ruled out on a point of order ns not germane, and all other attempts to mnke changes In the Haugen hill Mere frustrated by the administration forces. Most of the amendments proposed were from Southern Democrats. Two attempts to Inject prohibition Into the measure were made h.v Representatives P.Iack and I.a Ouardia of New York, hut they were squelched. Senators took up the debate on their own farm bill, which as reported contained the export debenture feature. Senator McNary of Oregon, chairman of the senate committee on agriculture, told the senate that he had withdrawn his support from the debenture plan because he regarded Jt as a subsidy and also because be wished to support a bill which President Hoover Is sure to sign. I feel there Is no doubt whatever, Bald Senator McNary, that If a bill carrying the debenture plan were sent to the White House It would he disapproved by President noover. Senator McNary conceded that the debenture plan, which provides an export bounty on farm products through certificates redeemable In the payment of Import duties, would be effective In boosting prices. In a letter to Mr. McXary the President had given at length his reasons for opposing the export debenture It Is scheme, concluding by saying: my belief that the theoretical benefits would not be reflected to the American farmer; that It would create profiteering; that it contains elements which would bring American agriculture to disaster. The Introduction of such n plan would also Inevitably confuse and minimize the much more plan of farm relief, upon the fundamental principles of which there has been general agreement. g T er at UXXIXQ up to New York couple of hours, President made, before the Associated Its annua! luncheon, his first for a Hoov- Press public address since Ids Inauguration. It xvas an urgent nppeal to the people of the United States for. law observ-- e and law enforcement. Life nnd property, he declared, are relatively more unsafe In this country than In any other civilized land, and he pleaded with the editors and the citizens generally to aid the government In changing this deplorable condition. Reorganization of the law enforcing machinery, he said, is necessary. To get this he proposed to take his time men. ImparIn selecting tial, In their Judgment, skilled In the science of law and our Judicial system" to study and report upon the In whole of our problems involved criminal law enforcement" AT the outset Mr. Hoover declared that while violations of laws have been Increased by the Inclusion of crimes under the Eighteenth amendment and by the vast sums that are poured Into the hands of the criminal classes by the patronage of Illicit liquor by otherwise responsible citizens, yet this Is but one segment of our problem, for but a small percentage of these can be attributed to the Eighteenth amendment." high-minde- d reduction of naval PROSPECTS for were brighlened Immensely when Ambassador Gibson, American delegate on the League of disarmament Nations preparatory commission, frankly laid before that body the Hoover administration's proposals. To the astonished representatives of the other nations lie declared America was prepared to agree to any reductions, however drnstle, of naval tonnage which leaves no typo of war vessels tin. res! rifled, and also was ready to abandon limitation of tonnage h.v categories and accept the Drench compromise proposal as a basis for discussion. He offered yet another concession, stating that America would consider estimating "equivalent naval values" on the basis of other factors than the displacement of tonnage alone, such ns age, unit displacement and the caliber of guns. Any approach at the disarmament on purely technical grounds, he declared, was bound to be Inconclusive. French, Italian nnd Japanese delegates chorused their welcome of the American proposals, and though Lord Cushendun was mighty careful In his comment, the London press quite generally praised them. The British cabinet met to consider the Gibson plan, but It was believed nothing definite would be done about It before the English elections which are set for May 30. After that Austen Chamber-lai- n may no longer he secretary for foreign nffalrs and W. C. Bridgeman will not be first lord of the admiralty. The commission decided that a ban should he placed on the use of poison Engas and bacteria In warfare. couraged by this action, Count von Berngtorff for Germany proposed that the dropping of bombs or Incendiary gases from airplanes piloted either by human hands or by wireless be outlawed. Many delegates opposed this scheme as outside the Jurisdiction of the commission nnd only the German, Russian, Dutch, Swedish and Chinese representatives voted for Its adoption. Soviet Russias plan for air force reduction also was rejected. efforts were made HALF-HEARTEthe commission on German reparations to find a compromise that all might accept, but the new offer brought from Berlin by Doctor The Schacht was not sufficient. French and Belgians were firm in their determination to make no further reductions. The American experts tried earnestly to save the conference from utter failure, and there was a lingering hope that this might be accomplished If the Germans would again revise their offer. wets Just barely won a the state legislature when the bill calling for a referendum upon repeal of the state prohibition laws was passed by the house without a vote to spare. The measure was handed np to the senate, where the drys believed It would be defeated and the wets were none too optimistic of success. Senator Cole Blease of South Carolina Introduced In the senate a resolution proposing to prohibit the Importation of liquor by foreign diplomats and providing for the expulsion of envoys who decline to accept our dry laws as binding upon themselves. ILLINOIS In of Alabama broke loose HEFLIN last week. In March he went to Brockton, Mass., to deliver a speech under the auspices of the Ku Klux klan, and a small riot resulted. He tried to Induce the senate to adopt a resolution expressing Its condemnation of the treatment he received In the Massachusetts town, but this was too much even for that senatorial courtesy" that has covered a multitude of queer actions. Goaded by questions, Heflin admitted he was paid for his speeches In Brockton and elsewhere. After he had annoyed his colleagues for two days and tried to Interrupt the debate on the farm relief bill, the Alabaman was sharply called to time by Senator Borah, who asserted that the Heflin resolution would ally the senate with a campaign against the Roman Catholic people of the United States. "If the senator really feels, cried Rornh, that that Is the issue, we ought not to pnss a futile resolution but we ought to appoint a bodyguard from the senate to nccompany the senator on these trips. This resolution can have only a political or, what Is worse, a religious effect." Heflin attacked Watson of Indiana because, he said, the latter hnd gone hack on a promise to support the resolution. "Why, youre the finest old in the' klan," he shouted, demanding antl-Cathol- e to know what inspired the Indiana senator's change of heart. The senator knows 1 do not tie- long to the Ku Klux klan, retorted Watson heatedly. I do not, answered Heflin, and added that he Intends to visit Indiana and let the people there know what has gone on here today.
