Opinions will vary as to the virtue
of the filibuster against (lie anti-lynch
Ing bill. It makes no difference, how
ever, whether one approves or dlsup
proves of the legislation, the point
ts that senators who choose to talk
and keep on talking can prevent the
passage of any legislation, even if it

To put It In another way, an appro
priation bill which every senator
agrees should he enacted into law can
be defeated by filibustering tactics ein
ployed, not really for the purpose of
killing the particular bill, but to force
congress into an extra session because
the bill failed.
No one in Washington believes that
the senate ever will adopt a rule
which will make It possible to shut
off debate as It can be shut o(T in

here believes that a rule to this effect
