SECOND BIENNIAL STATEMENT 65 



"debate it at length"; and therefore that last chance was 

 lost. 



Whether gag rule and minority rule can and will be suc- 

 cessfully applied throughout the 65th Congress to prevent 

 the Chamberlain bill from being brought to a fair and 

 square vote, remains to be seen. We hope that the cloture 

 rule will bring the relief to the Senate situation that so 

 many Senators long have desired, and have sought to secure. 

 We believe that the friends of the bill in the Senate will 

 sometime succeed in bringing it to a vote; but beyond all 

 doubt, the dog-in-the-manger policy will again be pursued 

 to its utmost limits.
