Democrats and Republicans Clash Over Porto Rican Relief Plan
In Washington on March 20 the House refused to concur with Senate amendments to the Porto Rican relief bill. Democrats favored quick relief while Republicans insisted on keeping the original provision to tax Porto Rican and future revenues. Beveridge proposed free trade for Porto Rico with no extension of U.S. constitution. Steering committee seeks a compromise as Spooner is absent.
