First Farm Relief Bill Meets With Strong Objeetion - J^orberk-BurgeM Measure Is Declared by Brookbart to j Be Provided Largely by Farmers' Deposits. Washington, March 3.—Strenuous Opposition today greeted the appear ance in the senato of the first special farm relief measure, the Norbeck Burgess bill proposing a loan of $75, 000,000 to finance diversification. Declaring it was "paternalism run gampant,” Senator Fletcher, demo crat, Florida, said it was time to call a halt upon such measures. "We are proposing to loan this money,” he said, "for the purpose of enabling the one-crop farmer to keep livestock on land never adaptable for grazing; or to raise other crops where the land will not produce one. AA’e have already gone the limit along this line.” Senator Fletcher's attitude was un derstood to he that of several other senators on the democratic side and of some republicans. An effort of Sen ator Dadd, republican, North Dakota, to end debate at 3 tomorrow was blocked by notification from several senators that they desired to discuss the measure. I .add Defends Measure. The North Dakota senator, having reported the bill from the agricultural cohjmlttee, assumed charge of it on the floor. He contended the govern ment owed special consideration to •l$Ae spring wheat farmers because of the evils they had suffered through the wartime propaganda which at once Increased production and de creased consumption. Every other class In the United States has been aided, he said, either by 1 lie tarift or through direct or indirect subsidy. Several amendments already have been proposed'to the bill, which would Increase the amount carried to $105, 000,000. Among them is a provision offered by Senator Buraum, repub lican. New Mexico, which would add $20,000,000 for loans to banka In the northwest. Fletcher's Attack Bitter. Senator Fletcher said the purpose of this was to "bolster busted banks." "The whole tendency," he said, "Is toward further centralization of au thority in the federal government, fan you imagine the secretary of agri culture supervising this fund without taking some control of the farms he aided, or of the comptroller passing out this fund without retaining some control of those banks? "Of course, if the idea Is to estab lish a good campaign fund, I have no doubt that $50,000,000 or $100,000,000 properly handled would be very effec tive.” Brookliart Stands for Bill. Senator Bursum here Interjected the remark that the senator certainly does not want to leave the idea that any administration would capitalize the miseries of the farmers, and Sen ator Fletcher replied he had "merelj |atggested that in passing.’* Senator Johnson, farmer-labor, Min nesota, said the "chambers of com merce were too strong for the farm ers who tried to carry out their co operative organizations" when the Florida senator suggested this was the logical solution of their difficul ties. Senator Brookhart, republican, Iowa, also took exception to the ar guments advanced by Senator Fletcher. The credit facilities re luested, he said, were actually pro vided "in a large measure from the farmers’ deposits.” Revolt in Honduras Reported Spreading Washington, March 3.—Widespread confusion in Honduras, due to numerous revolutions In behalf of at least three leaders who aspire to the presidency, was indicated today In advices received at the State depart ment from Consul George P.
