EXPOSES REASONS WHY FORD’S OFFER REFUSED Georcju Senator, as Usual, is Active in Interest of the Mas se- ilather Than Moneyed In terest Generally. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 27.—Dis cussing the legislation which Con gress should consider and denounc ing the Position of the Republican ad measures, Senator Wm.

He announce opposition to the ship Subsidy bill advocated the repeal of the tariff law and amendment of the revenue law: urges legislation to help in the mar-1 kering o;l agricultural products, os-1 tablisriin", a system of rural credits \ and further stimulating the farm loan basik, and favorable action at once on the Henry Ford bid for Muhcl Shoals. Senator Harris said in : statement today: “The ship subsidy, bill, Us recoin mended by President Harding, is a plun o fluxing the people to the ex tent of 30 or 40 million dollars to: , the shipping trust, in tn\ Opinion, an, I am opposed to the legislation.

This law should he amended. “The tariff law recently pitssei should be repealed. It has increased the cost of living for every person i: the United States in order to help the Republican manufacturers who, it: many cases, had contributed to the campaign. It is vicious to tax ail of the people to assist in paying cam paign contributions.

Reductions will bring more business to the railroads, in my judg ment. “Congress should Pass legislation that will help the farmer in market ing his crop at less expense and pre vent the from getting ah the profit the farmer earns. Severa measures that would help the agricul tural situation, in my opinion, were introduced by me and passed by the Senate at the last session. The farm ers associations all over the country have recommended these bills but the Republican Congress -will not let them be voted upon. Why not pass these bills, and others, and give the. farm ers assistance in marketing their crops through financial and ware house facilities ? “The Democrats were, working on a,system of rural credits to give the farmer cheaper interest rates or money. Why do the Republicans de lay this measure? The Democrat* are all urging it now. “The Federal Farm Loan Banks should be more prompt in making Joans and Congress should increasi the present limits. “The southern cotton producer and the western wheat farmers cannot receive full prices for their products as long as Europe is floundering about* ftnanlially. It is to our interest for Europe to get on a sound basis finanially and commercially. It wil help our farmers, laborers and matiu facturers. “Because Henry Ford contested the Newberry election is one of thi reasons the Republicans have refused to let Ford have Muscle Shoals, which would be a great help. The Republican voters have repudiated Newberryigm. Why not let Ford have Muscle Shoals. He made the best bid and offered millions for a planti which the Republicans said should be junked. Why not pass th-is legisla tion now? The country will force Congress to help Muscle Shoals two years from now, in my opinion. “The Republican party should not LOVE IN FRANCE VS.
