DEBT REVISION IN TRADE, ARMS CUT PROPOSED
Georgia Methodists Attack Dry Law Repeal
JEATED DEBATE 1o
JELO 0N REFORT
0F COMMITTEE
A'rl,s\N’l.‘A-—(lP)———Determlned op
position to any effort for vygakeh:
ing the 18th amendment was ex.
pressed Saturday by : the North
seorgia conference of the Metho
jist Episcopal Church, South, hut
efused to say how its members
dould vote on prohibition.
The stand was taken in' the
adoption of the Temperance and
gocial Service Board’'s report but
L clause to classify those who vote
for modification or repeal as “ene
mies of prohibition” and oppos'e
them at the polls was rejected,
Another clause of the original
report that met defeat called "on
members of the conference to. pay
ersonal visits to their congress
men and legislators and urge then
o support the prohibition .laws,
In the place of that, a modjfied
dause was adopted, asking that
(eorgia congressman be advised
of the conference attitude with
the request that they use their in
fluence against legalization =of
weer, wine, whiskey or any alco.
holic beverage. The‘dift’erence was
{he elimination of the call for per
sonal visits. e :
The movement for classification
and opposition of those favoring
modification or repeal .. was first
introduced as an addendum t 9. the
gegular report and it brought heat.
@ debate on the conference floor.
The call Tor formal visits to con=
gressmen likewise brought fl
aruggle, ophonents contending it
sould commit the church to po
fitical activities. ; oo
Rev, H. C.’ Emory, presiding
dder of the Gainesville district
opposed the addendum vigorously.
“When the conference under.
takes to tell me how to vote, it
tramples on my rights as an Am
erican citizen,” he asserted. “I re
fuse to he told how to vote.”
He said he opposed that portion
of the report “because it goes into
politics, We can injure ourselves
by putting too mueh emphasis on
legislation and politics.” .
The substitute for the addendum
read:
“We realize that this conference
has no right to hind the consci
ence or vote of any man. We
would not seek to coerce any per
son in his personal beliefs or po.
litieal allegiances. We grant to
il people the right to choose for
themselves the ideals and acte
they consider proper so long as
those ideals and acts®*be not con
trary to establish law. £ 5
“But while this is true, we rec
genize that there is an allegiance
that ranks higher than our ailegi
fince to any,_ person or party or
platform—ang that is our allegi
ance to our God. Just as the
thurch has no right to bind the
pokitical faith of any man, tha po.
litical parties have mo right te
Pind the meoral acts of any man
We resent most strongly all parti
i coercion as well as ecclesiastis
cal coereion.

OLNATE PLINS EARLY
AGTIONON REPEAL,
| EADERS ASSERT
By CECIL B. DICKSON
(Acsociated Press Staff Weriter.)
WASHINGTON. — (AP) — A
movement for early senate action
ot prohibition repeal developed
Saturday follow ng announcement
of plans of Speaker {(iarner to
have the house pass on the propo
sition on the opening day of the
short session. !
Senator MeNary of Oregon, ar
sistant Republican leader, said oo
favored senate consideration of u
repeal resolution as soon as possi
ble after congress convenes Dec
ember o§, i G
Support for quick senate actioff
was given by Senator Harrison of
Mississippl, = Democratic spokes
man. He told reporters he had ‘no
doubt” there were enough voiss
there to rubmit a repeal amend
ment.
Speaker Garner said, ‘Both par
ties have demanded ‘an opportuni
ty to vote and I'm going to let the
house vote on it ‘on December 5H."
Although favoring early action
on repeal, Representative Snell of
New York, the Republican leader,
expressed doubt as to the “pro
priety” of bringing it to a vote
on the first day. He also said the
Republicans probably would want
to submit a resolution along the
lines of their national platform in
order to prevent return of the sa
loon. He said he would not have
any objection to consideration
within twe weeks after the con
vening of congress.
. Speaker Garner said Snell had
“asked e to give consideration of
?x'eppal 4l the earliest possible mo
mant.! Lt o
The Viee-President-elect and
Snell had discussed the action Fri
day . : o
Garner ascertained ‘that under
the house rules, he could recog
nize a member to suspend the
rules and adopt a repeal resolu
tion on the first day. This proce
dure requires a two-thirds votg
the same as necessary for adopt
ion of resolution calling for a con
stitutional amendment.
“The people can't get what they
want by amendment to the Vol
stead act and 1 think the only
thing to_do is go after it man
fashion through a repeal resolu
tion,” Snell told newspapermen.
“It* is primgrily a program for the
Democrats.”
~ @Garner said he would draft theg
resolution to be presented to the
house, but declined to disclose
whether ‘it would be for direct re
peal or follow the lines of the
Gilass proposal in the senate. Snell
said he would vote for the Glass
amendment, which constitutional
iy outlaws saloons and provides
federal ‘protection for dry states.
Asked to explain why action on
repeal was to’ be had before that
on legalization of beer, Garner said
“Many gentlemen in congress in
hoth parties favor a vote on re
peal before presentation of a beer
bill, and it seems to me to be the
natural order of things to vote on
repeal and then on beer.”

what he said was the necestity
for improving the condition of the
farmer before prosperity could be
expected for the rest of the na~-
tion. In their talk with Mr. Roose
velt Saturday afternoon in his
hilltop cottage, the farm represen
tatives discussed their own pro
posal for handling the csurplus
crops and agricultural credits.
Taber said Mr. Roosevelt asked
that the members of the executive
committee of his organization Kkeep
in touch with both him gand the
chairmen of the agriculture com
mittees of the house and senate.
A gyoup of members of the house
committee will wvicit iMx‘. Roose
velt next week at Warm Springs.
The farm leader said that the
President-elect did not indicafe
preference for either the export
debenture or the domestic allot
ment plan but that he came away
with the impression that Mr.
Roosevelt was Kkeeping an open
mind cn the question,
Taber, replying to questions,
said that it might develop that the
Jblan finally employed might be a
combination of several methods—
th¢ domestic allotment and the
export debenture and possibly
some other—each arranged to deal
with the crops to which It wasg
best suited.
Among the other questions dis
custed with the President-elect
was the possibility of liberalizing
the machinery of the Reconstrue
tion corporation and adding to the
facilities of the farm loan system
to improve the farm credit situa
tion.
