FROM REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE

Washignton, ID. c., Nov. 30.-"National
preparedness and national revenues
are two problems that go hand in
hand
The Democratic administration pro-
poses the one when it has utterly fail
ed to solve the other
These are conclusions reached by
Representative Frederick H. Gillett of
Massachusetts,, ranking minority mem
ber of the appropriations committee
His statement has greater significance
when it is remembered that for weeks
Mr.. Gillett has been in daily confer
ence with both Democrats and Republi-
cans of the house in an effort to i'm
prove the present system of financing
government appropriations
The question of revenues is the
most difficult problem the Democratic
party must face when congress meets"
said Mr.. Gillett Republicans have
always claimed that lack of business
efficiency was an inherent and newt
able defect in every Democratic admin
istration. That theory has been abun
dainty illustrated since March 4. 1913
"Dilatoriness. vacillation, change of
plans and deficits have marked the
Democratic fiscal policy. A constant
excess of expenditures over receipts
has been shown by Treasury state

change in the form of statements
adopted on the first of October,
whether made for that purpose or not,
had the effect of preventing easy com
PARSONS and unfairly swelling the ap-
parent treasury balance.
Now the president is going to rec
.ommend enormous appropriations for
the army and navy. The serious
problem will be how to pay them. In
the past Republicans have been allow
ed no voice in these matters. Plans
have been formulated by a Democratic
subcommittee, endorsed by a Demo
cratic caucus, and passed by Demo
cratic majority kept solid by the pres
sure OF party tyranny ana anmlnlstra-
tion patronage.
Whether the same system will pre-
vail in the coming session will depend.
suppose, upon the harmony in the
Democratic ranks and the necessities
of the administration. At all events
| think the funds necessary for the
program should be raised by taxation
and not by the sale of bonds. The
proposed expenditures for national de
fense should not be shifted on to our
successors. but should be paid from
current revenues.
This involves cutting off our lux
uries and pruning down our necessi-
ties on the one hand. and increasing
our income on the other.
1T involves surveying the field from
a business and not from a political
or sectional viewpoint and that is
where ] fear Democratic failure. I'm
less the party can meet the situation
with better business foresight and eff
ficiency than 1t has so far displayed.
the current drift toward the Republi-
can party will become landslide"

New York, May 17.-fSpecial. -Rumors of many kinds. purporting to disclose some of the things that are in the. minds of members of the administration at Washington with respect to our present relations with Germany have been for a
 day or two in circulation in the financial district None of them is authentic, but some of them arc sensational. But it is observed that leaders in the financial dis trict arc persuaded that the administra- ton eontemplates some kind of a prepara- ton in case there be danger of rup- tnre of diplomatic relations with Ger many.
 This view is probably due in part 10 the fact that some of the plants in which povde, is manufactured are now under taking to provide tile government with a large and an unusual supply of powder. This does not necessarily mean that we are in any danger of war, put 1t may

mean that the administration does not care to find itself in the situation dis
 closed by President Mckinley to leaders Tn congress in 1898. when public opinion was setting strongly in favor of a war With Spain, opinion which was intensi- ned by the destruction of the Maine in the harbor of Havana. President McKin- icy Was compelled to say to members of congress that it was vital that there De preparation for like hostilities because at no time since the terminal ton of the eival war was our supply of war ma terials and especially in the coast de- lenses at so low point Congress gave him s5O,N0.000 to pay for preparation
 Then, too, there are some reasons for inierrlng that cur great industrial plants, informally at least, have been asked for information about their ability speedily to manufacture munitions of war. Some Of the great plants have declined to ac- cept orders from across the sea for war material. These could be speedily nut in order for manufacturing such equipment as the government at Washington deems prudent to secure. incidentally the situ- alton which has suddenly come to us is spoken of here revealing how import ant It was that there should have been eieae sVlplnttIohs or capital, of ability ana or skilled artisans, which are the factors in establishing great industrial companies. For if at this time manufac- turing business was divided into small indivlduai units. was the case when fresioent Mckinley was compelled to race the emergency of the war with spain the United States would be in no conoiuon speedily to meet extra ordinary demands

The Sanity of Public Opinion

The late Frederick w Seward who diad recently and who was in the last years of Ills life the only survivor of those who were members of the official household of President Lincoln once referred in a con Nersation with the writer to what he re- sarded as the absolute sanity of matured public opinion in the United States. He referred to the experience which his father, the Secretary of State. met with at the time when Great Britain was de- nanoing that the United States apologize Tor the capture and imprisonment of the confederate commissioners Mason and s1dell who were taken by Captain Wilkes from the British passenger steamship Trent and shut up in one Of tNe forts of Boston harbor. Those of this generation MT Seward said. can have no appreciation or the intensity of excitement and the exultation throughout the north over this atcion of Captain Wilkes. Momentary pub llc sentiment seemed so strong that many
 Eight 1t would be dangerous for Secre- .Sary tSf%ard to yield to the demand of Great Britain. make reasonable apology for the act of Captain Wilkes and release Mason and Slidel.
 But after Secretary Seward did do these things and the note which he delivered to the English minister at Washington ex- plainlng his action wal published. the peo- pie of the north with practical unan- imty. changed their view and cordially supported President Lincoln and the Sec fetary of State for doing the right thing at the right time.
 There is thought to be no doubt that President Wilson in his silent and iso- lated study of the present situation and his reference to precedents which the lar chives of the state department furnished became familiar as. perhaps before he en- tered the presidency he was familiar not only with the Mason and Slidell incident, but also the most impressive manner in which the people of the north gave sub stantial and hearty support to President Lincoln and his administration for do- ing what a few days earlier was looked upon by the people as impossible for them to do.
