does not alter the fact that, appraised
by past standards. he was a useful Con-
gresham and a safe chairman OF the
Committee on Appropriations.
Things that no did. as chairman, or

which he IS to-day condemned. In former
days would have won his party's and his
country's plaudits.

The new nationalism was short-iived,
