Clark Issues Statement

Washington, March 4-Speaker Clark is- sued statement tonight briefly reviewing the work of the Sixty-third Congress. which he said would go down in history as one of the greatest and most remark able of all congresses, because it had put on the books more constructive legisla- ton and was in session more days than any other. The statement added
 '"rhe President has managed so far, un- der very difficult circumstances, to keep the country out of war. which would be the greatest calamity that could happen. Let us hope that he will succeed in keep ing us out in the very critical circum- stances in which we find ourselves liv- ing. It seems to me that every good citizen, without regard to politics, will indorse him in his efforts to keep<us out of war and his efforts to maintain neu- trality. Taken all in all, the adminis- tration and the Congress have done a vast amount of good work. On it we ap- peal confidently to the country.
 ''The signs of the times indicate that business, large and small, is recovering from the condition into which the trans atlantic war hurled us. To a careful read CT of the newspapers the prospects appear to be that by the Fourth of July every man and woman in America who desires work at a living wage. will find employ ment, which is a great desideratum"
