Farm Relief Bill: Final
Voting Passed
AMENDMENT APPROVED BY HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES
ADMINISTRATION CHARGED WITH BREACH OF FAITH
(REUTER'S AMERICAN SERVICE.]
Washington, May 4. The inflation amendment to the Farm Rellet Bull has been passed by the House of Representatives by 307 votes to 86. The Senate having already adopted the measure, President Roose. volt's signature Is all that is now required for the inflation pro- posals to become law.
י,
WASHINGTON, April 27, Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, whom President Roosevelt wants to have as his Secretary of Treasury, to-day broke with the President on the inflation question in the
vitriolic speech in his career.
злоч
The Senator had been warned by his physician to engage in no heated debates and to rest quietly for a period of weeks. Aganist this advice, the veteran Democratic leader gave the De- mocratic Administration a lashing that caused his colleagues to leave the chamber later without voting on the general indation bill. Senator Glass was white with anger at the thought that the sound money plank, which he had written with his own hand into the party platform, should be repudiated and scrapped at the first assault made upon it:
By, championing this bill, the Administration has broken faith with the people and the rank and file of the party," he shouted in a high voice and speaking out of one side of his mouth. The whole platform called for sound money. The pro visions in this measure amount to a repudiation of that platform and to nationat dishonour.. Tu my conception, it is immoral."
