Munitions
Congress Sure to
Pass Bills, Now
Understood In
Washington.
BY ellison Gardner.

.t'uI4NN loN, ~. N.s
April 1.-THE chances are
that this congress will pro-
vide for a very large amount
of government manufacture
of war munitions" said Rep
resentative Clyde ii. Taven-
ner of Illinois today.
THE action of the democratic
caucus in sweeping away parlia-
mentary obstacles to this kind
of legislation is the biggest thing
that has happened yet" he con-
tinued.
BY this caucus action we have
succeeded in getting rid of that
old device, the point of order by
which committee verdiets are
made all pod erful and which for
20 years has been used to kill
every amendment of this charac-
ter that has been brought into the
house.
Now the way is open to bring
in our government manufacture
amendments to every bill appro-
priating money for war purposes
the army, the navy, the fortifi-
cations, and the sundry vivil
bills.
I'VE have the amendments
drawn and intend to ask con-
2ress to vote for them. There
will be roll-calls and the
members must go on record.
1.-THE TiIIman bill for gov
eminent manufacture of ar
NOR plate. is, of course, one
of the principal ones. Then
there are the bills for gov
eminent manufacture of 9TH
err things needed i'm the navy
submarines, mines, tOrpe-
does, munitions for the big
guns and sm0keless powder.
THE big hold-up of the people
and the government in past years
has been not so much i'm the army
as in the naval appropriations
Today 80 per cent of the things
used by the army are made I'M
der government auspices. In the
navy, on the other hand, there
has been that vile and increasing
scandal, the armor plate trust,
made up, as Secretary Daniels
says in his annual reports, of
three firms-Bethlehem, Midvale
and Carnegie-which firms do
not even pretend to compete with
one another.
THE sentiment in the house,
as l find it,. regardless of party,
is strong for the government
manufacture proposition. / have
been surprised at it, considering
how little encouragement / had

years ago.

In concluding appeal for the tri

that to discredit him might palsy the
hand that could write the peace treaty

-Four years ago, they sneeringly

world-teacher. His subject is the pro-

And without orphaning al single
American child, without widowing a
single American mother, without fir

most militant spirit that ever brood
