legislation, therefore, devolves upon Julius
Kahn. of California, Republican. the next
ranking member. How long will the Demo-
Gratis of Congress stand this sort of thing and
If they continue to submit to it, how long will
it he before there will be Republican Con-
gress?
The answer to this question: of course is about two
years. The best the country can do in the meantime to
pray that the laundering committee heads and majority
party leaders be prevented from leading pitfalls
that will cost much precious American blood and proons
