This is j regarded as the death blow to imi portant pending legislation, including ; the World Court, farm relief, and the Muscle Shoals disposal. Senator Frazier of North Dakota vainly enI deavored to delay the adjournment i until June 21 in order to consider farm relief. Senator Lafollette Hit—- | terly attacked the Senate’s unconcern at the farmers’ plight, and un- ; successfully proposed that the GonI gress be re-convened for July 17, s declaring agricultural depression was i causing the political unrest with j which the major parties will be j compelled to reckon in the forthj coming campaign, concluding by 1 warning Republican co-partisans that ! they are aggravating insurgency m j tho agricultural States, thereby :m- ---; pairing their own chances of victory. : —A. and N.Z.G.A. *
