Senator Robinson Says
Last Congress Failure
Democratic Leader Says Republicans Failed to-Take Ad
vantage of Opportunities and Despite Large Majorities,
Passed Tew Laws of Vital Importance.
Washington, March Hi An nrra'an
.meni of 'the Republican party's record
was made by Senator Robinson, of Ar
kansas, acting Democratic floor lead
er. In n slHlenient tnniglit reviewing
Hie administration's isiliiies mid, acts
foreign and dnmesltc. President
Harding aiil Si-ctelary Hughes were
criticized for alleged failure to adopt
a helpful International policy and the
Republican Congress was assailed for
alleged failures.
"Tile present administration,'' said
Senator Robinson "is now reaping 11
harvest of condemnation and repudi
ation. The legislative and executive
policies advanced hy President Hard
ing have broken down. This is at
tributable to the reactionary charac
ter of. the policies, and to the irre
cnclllable factions existing within the
Republican party." '
No important legislative achieve
ments can he. awarded the 7(ith Con
gress "with a single exception of the
Fordney-McCiimher tariff net." Sena
tor Robiilsmi declared, adding:
"All other Important measures en
acted during the I 'engross now ex
piring have been of a nnn-pn ii ls-i 11
nature and have, received tlu support
of the' Democrats in both hotrSps of
l'ongrps.
ajjjhe iflwhfc -a. 'sstefll'iii's ai'empecliua
the two most important subjects pre
Rented by lilm, excluding the. British
debt settlement, net. have been openly
repudiated by the Congress. I refer to
the ship subsidy hip and the message

I'nited States in the -pcynmneiit court

The latter, Senator Robinson said.
had been "buried by the leaders oM
the li publican party in the Senate.
"The administration's foreign pol
icy," Senator Robinson continued, "Is
Incomprehensible even to those re
sponsible for It. The. I'nited States
in former administrations rook ad
vanced positions In the promotion of
arbitration and the establishment of
orderly tribunals for the settlement of
international disputes. Now we are
in thp hiunliintimr nnlindp nt fiicinc !
b tekward and standing still while
European peoples in the mnste and
confusion of financial and economic
problems which threaten their undoing
are. stumbling and staggering for
ward." . '
Secrecy in Secretary Hughes' man
agement of foreign affairs was charg
ed and deplored by Senator Robinson,
who 8'ild that Mr. Hughes had discus
sed recently before an organization of
newspaper men the country's foreign
relations hut had refused to appear
before the somite foreign relations
commiltee. ''
"The only justification for enshroud
ing n foreign policy In solemn mys
tery," said Senator Robinson. "Is that
publicity respecting it Inevitably
would force a Change. '
"It has come to a strange state in
deed when the secretary of state will
furnish newspaper correspondents
w4tt eflwflflettanfc? Information which
bp denied the Senate.
In domestic affairs, Senator Robin
son said. It. 'publicans have "shame
lessly repudiated" pledges for a sol
diers' bonus and had not acted to re
lieve, tf armors and others from exces
sive transportation charges. Repub
lican Internal revenue tn revision,
the Democratic lender said, has "re
sulted in relieving Ihe rich and pros
perons, while through the. Fordney
MeCumber act Ihe luxes (Mild by The
masses have been enormously lij

"TIiub failure. Irretrievable failure,
marks the record of the, administra
tion throughout the last two yeafs."
'said Senator Itnbinson in corirlitsinn.
During the evening Senator Robin;

BOTH HOUSES APPR0VK
FARM HKLP MEASURE
The Bill Will Be Submitted to Presi
dent for Signature This Morning.
Washington, Saajfcli 3. Both the
senate and house ijirovpd the con
ference report on the farm credits
hill tonight, and l In. measure is ready
tor tfobturssiofit 1o"Wesideul Harding
when he visits the eapitol prior to
sine die adjournment tomorrow to
sign bills.
As agreed to In conference uy ihe
houser and senate managers the es
sentiai features of the composite uonne
bi.I remained unchanged, but broaJ
er authority was given to the private
credit corporations which it would
authorize. Continuation until March,
1924, of the war finance corporation
also would be. provided for.
Managers on the part of the house
explained In a formal statement to the
house that the bill as agreed to in con
ference would create, two distant and
separate mral credit organizations,
the federal intermediate credit banks
and the national agrienltural credit
corporAtions. The former wou'd be
i P'ced under the control' and maiuig(
ment of the federal farm loan board
and the latjer under the supervision
of the comptroller of the currency.
"While the two syntams will fur
nish 'relief to the agricultural inter
ests of the country," the statement
said, ''the federal intermediate credit
banks wi 1 more particularly lake
care of the needs of a certain class
and might come nearer than would
the national agrirultnral credit cor
porations in taking core of the entire
needs of the general agricultural pu -lie;
the national agricultural credit
corporations will make certain the
caring for in 11 nationa1' way of the
livestock and co-operative marketing
requirements.
"Your managers took Into consid
eration also the fact that the national
agricultural credil coporations will be
organized along the same lfnes rant
national bunks are organized, qamely.
by inlvatr nuhnrrlptinu tn capital an(L
secondly, that the acceptances
col literal trust niile or debentures
issued by them und'r the provisions of
the act carry no tax, exception
privileges, whereas federal inter
mediate credit banks are capitalized
by the. United Slates government and
are permitted lo issue tux free
debentures."
