CONGRESSMAN WILL E. HUMPHREY
- of Seattle would be lot happier these
days if the United States were in the throes
of fearful panic. There are some people
like that-croakers, who are never happy
unless others suffer.
Humphrey made a speech in congress
yesterday. He said: CD We have no pros
perity. (2) We are not going to have pros
perity unless the democrats are kicked out
of office. CD Even if we have prosperity,
it won't last.
"Why should not the farmer be pros
perous?" Humphrey shouted. "Of course he
is. Crops have been the biggest on record,
and the United States farmer has been feed
ing the greatest armies in the world
But don't give the democrats credit for
this prosperity, Humphrey warns you. Be-
sides, this prosperity won't last he says. If
the democrats stay in office and Wilson re-
mains on the job, WE'LL BE IN A WORSE
PANIC AFTER THE WAR, he predicts,
THAN THE NATION HAS EVER SEEN.

Washington, June 26.-Provision
for completion within three years of
the navy general boards building pro-
gram Of six capital ships, today was
written into the naval bill by the SEN
ate subcommittee on the recommen-
dation of President Wilson.
The subcommittee Immediately had
agreed to accept the boards recon-
mendation for completion of the pro-
gram by 1922, but reversed itself
after Secretary Daniels had explained
to the committeeman at today's meet
ing that the president, as well as navy
officials, was anxious that construc-
ton be speeded up as much as pos
sible. It is understood that the rate
at which European. nations are build
ing played an important part in the
decision.
