that j tutorship, which if allowed to exist

tounded, in view of all the pro

ditions of the man on the farin,
that the president of the United
.Slates should veto the bill which
extended to the farmer only a
[lartial remittance of the interest
due on hi.s land mortgagi*. I was
a'tounded that our efforts at
economy, should start hy denying

I After pointing out the economic-
I condition under which the farmer op
erates. the South ('aroli'nian, cha^r-
inan of the senate agriculture, com
mittee, said:
"We get awfully fond of liim

He then told how WPA and PWA
had drained Labor off the farms in
his state.
Smith pointed to the record to
show that >>enator Balrkley, newly-
eks'ted floor leader, who urged the
senate to uphol4 the presidenUa veto^
strongly advocated passage of the
measure when it was before the sen
ate.
Many of tho.se who urged economy
when Senator Byrnes was making his
fight on the administration reljef
bill, refused to vote to sustain tk
president’s economy move.
Among these were Senator Carter
Glass, who backed Smith’s position.
“Effort after effort has been m^de
here to attain economy but they ha.ve
been successfully resisted,” the Vir
ginian said. "I don’t nMan today to
begin economy at the **pense of the
