REPUBLICANS WARN
THEY INTEND FIGHT
ON COTTON GONTROL
Bankhead Bill Comes Up
In Senate for Vote
Early Next Week
ATTACKED BY FESS
Ohio Senator Does Not
Consider Plan ‘‘Safe,”’
But Is Sympathetic
. WASHINGTON.—(£)—A :Regub‘
lican warning that compulsory
crop conuroi might lead to a revo
lution, Saturday indicated. the
strong oppositian facing the Bank
head cotton bill in the senate, but
administration leaders remained
confident of its approval.
The warging came from Senator
Fess (R.-Ohio), who said that
while he sympathized with the
purpose of the bill he did not
“consider it a safe procedure” be
cause it interfered- with “the
strongest passion in the human
breast, the right of ownership.”
Fess led the opposition to the:
bill after Senator Bankhead (D.-
Ala.) had opened the drive for its
enactment with a frank statement
that it was necessary because the
voluntary acreage reduction plan
had failed to solve the problem of
over-production in the cottgn
fields.
Smith Urges Bill ‘
Chairman Smith, of the agricul
ture committee, joined Bankhead
in pleading for the bill, contending
that its only opponents were “the
ginning people, the fertilizer peo
ple, the speculators, et al.”
Fess opposed the bill as a step
toward the control of all crops,
saying he was more concerned
with the direction of the step than
its length.
“While T admit that reduection
might be desirable,” he said, “if it
cannot be done by cooperation, I
have great fear of doing it by
compulsion. ~I am afraid we are
entering, under the stress of
emergency times, a course that is
to become permanent. ‘
“This is the farthest x'eaching‘
step we have taken, to deny an
individual citizen the control 01'1
his own business, It's going to
create combined opposition. If you
couldn’t enforce prohibition, how
