Congress Must Speed Up.

Congress has been in session for three
months and a half. In the good old days
before the policy Of "watchful waiting
was invented the first day of April gen
erallv saw the work Of long session well
in hand. Adjournment could be looked Tor
at the end of June or early in July. The
record of accomplishment in this Congress
so far is a blank page, and the leaders are
now talking of an adjournment in Novem-
Der. or even Of no adjournment at all.
Mr.. Mann lectured the House OF Repre-
sentatives on Wednesday for its inactivity.
In the Senate last Monday Mr. Underwood
said that In his many years Of service at
Washington he had never known Congress
70 be 20 far behindhand with It's work
lust at a time when there is the greatest
need Of diligence, of concentration, OF
speeding up, Congress has shown itself
most incapable Of serious, continuous
effort.
The one work Of vital importance which
this Congress must accomplish is the re-
organization Of the national defence. Plans
for this were submitted in December last
and in January President Wilson made a
tour Of the country in order TO give public
warning Of the extreme urgency OF imme-
date military preparation. Up to date the
House Of Representatives has passed three
or four routine appropriation bills. 1t has
largely increased the pension list by pass
ing both omnibus private pension bills and
dragnet pension bills Of a general char
acter. The Senate has spent its time on
measure repudiating our obligations to the
Filipinos and casting the Philippines
adrift, and on another measure regulating,
the building of dams in navigabe streams
1t is now struggling with another water
control measure.
Indifference 10 the real work Of the ses-
sion could not be carried further. Mr..
Mann and Mr.. Underwood would have
been justified in making their censure
more heated and more biting. 1t is scan
dal that Congress should take so lightly Its
duty TO the country-a duty which was
foolishly postponed last winter under the
mistaken assurances from Mr. Wilson that
the national defence had not been neglect
cd and that those who thought it had been
we're merely nervous and excited
The country is unprepared for defence
unprepared TO protect its citizens either In
Mexico or on the high seas, unprepsred to
maintain It's interests anywhere outside
its own borders, except by empty argu-
mentation. Our military impotency is
better understood at every other capital
in the world than it is at Washington.
Congress, no doubt, would like to shirk
the labor involved in reconstructinG our
military system But that labor Is IN
avoidable.
Why, then, delay? Why let tasks of
triAing importance interfere with the
main task? This is no time, as Mr.. Mann
well said, for Chicken feed legislation.
Congress must speed up. Every day
wasted in the House and Senate prolongs
cur perilous condition of unpreparedness.
And every additional day Of unprepared-
ness may cost its superfuous toll in wasted
lives and in treasure and in bitter national
humiliation.
