SUBSTITUTE BILL L Senator Simmons Makes Strong Speech In Support of Meas ure To Help Farmers The News and Observer Burenu, r343 District National Bank Bldg., By EDWARD E. BR1TTON (By Special Leased Wire) Washington, July 28.--A strong effect evidently was mado by tho speech of 1 Senator Simmons yesterday afternoon in which he analyzed and advocated the substitute for the Norris bill. Senator Simmons had soma shors in the pre parution of the substitute, nnd was able 1o present its strong points. Following bis remarks numbers of Senators yes tefdny and today told him his speech had satisfied them and that they would I support tne uniitrrute. 'ine messnrci provides a wsy to finance the holding of farm produnte until such time as Europe csn buy them in sn orderly way without flooding Hie markets with goods for wmch there no money to pay. After Senator Simmons concluded his speech in fsvor of the substitute, Sena tor Norris, sponsor of the Norris bill, mado a very vitriolic speech against the substitute end in favor of the original Norris bill, attacklna- tba authors of the substitute. Including Senator Simmons and Directors Meyer and McLean of the War Finance Corporation, snd some olhcr officials of tha administration. Committee for Baastitale A striking fact, however, occurred this morning when HcnalVr .Norm . owa committee following Senator Simmons day held a meeting and by a vote of ten to two decided in favor of the anb- atitnte. It was thought on yesterday that the fats of tho substitute waa doubtful, the chances being rather In favor of the original Norris bill, fol lowing the speech of the North Caro lina Senator, however, tho situation to day in the Senate is thot both sides of the chamber with tho exception of a very small group .if Senators have Hi- cided in favor and sre row committed to the substitute advocated by Senator Simmons and other-i. There seems to be no doubt now that the aubstituto will pass tho Senate by sn overwhelming mujority and with littlo further discus- sion. Senator Simmon speech cleared up any misunderstanding with regard to the authorship "of the substitute", and as to its provisions, so Senators da- clared today in d:b.iting the measure in the eennte. lie mrio h pmm mail the men v.ho drafted the substitute h;:d 1 PASS SENATE knowledge ef tlnsneial and agricultural appreciation of the American attitud matters and wero in sympathy with the .broad nnd a readjustment which will efforts being made to aid the farmers, be satisfactory to every one. and were not scting in any spirit of hostility-.

Strong Representations Made To British Regarding "Un-. reasonable Attitude" To ward Admission of American Vessels To Cotton Trade; Expect Peaceful Settlement Washington, July 28. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Aggressive measures have been sdopteU by the Shipping Board to insure fnir treament for American merchant ships in the award of trading privileges in foreign ports. Aiiiiougu put partially revealed by negotiations now ia progress, tha board s policy is understood to rest on the proposition that other nations wiisss- five every v pmner nppprfnntTjr to ships which fly tbe Wars slid Stripes or else ' run the risk of en countering the retaliatory mtusures placed within the prerogative of tho board by the new Shipping Art.

There is every indication as re- .. vc-nled b offloints here that the Am- eriran government will etn ml squarely Petiind such a program, and every con fidence that it will succeed without serious opposition in placing the Amer ican merchant marine on a prnner level in international trade. A situt- tion which has brought the board's policy Into prominence exists at Alexandria, Egypt, in relntion to con tracts for tho carriage of Egyptian cotton to tlio United Kingdom and tho United Htntes. In tho view of board officials, the British shipping in terests have taken on unreasonable attitude toward admission of American vessels to that itrade, nnd strong rep- reseptntiotis have been made which confidently are expected to hsve the desired result: There is no disposition here to re- gara uie Alexandria problem as con st itn ting a serious disagreement -in itself, but there is a feeling that it will set a significant precedent.
