In the game Saturday the local players could not
make any effective impression upon Central Highs line.

they opposed adequate preparation OF

The Work of the Session
lFrom The New York Trlbupe).

In appraislng the work Of the session
OF Congress just ended the customary
standards Of measurement fails us.
Comparisons with other sessions are
futile. Take the matter OF expenditure.
Under Speaker Reed. in iss9-isol, we
had the first Billion Dollar Congress. in
i90S-i909 we had the first Billion Dol
lar Session. For i9l7-1s Congress has
already appropriated Sis,S79, 100000 and
made additional contract authorizations
amounting to s2,5ii 100000.
The public imagination no longer re-
spends 10 such figures. We read them
without any real appreciation OF what
they mean They forecast FOR US an ex-
penditure In this war tif It lasts
couple Of years longer) without par
allel in the history Of the nations.
Yet IL is not for this vast outpouring
OF the countrys wealth that the ses-
sion lust ended will be chiefly memor-
able. 10 will be remembered for other
things much more unprecedented in
American experience. In the Civil War
Congress foated loans enormous for
that period and conscrpted wealth 10
a moderate figure. 10 also made a half
hearted experiment in cOnscripiing
man-power. Congress has now made
the draft universal and based our
whole military system on It. 10 has
conscripted wealth on a scale hitherto
undreamed of. But in its legislation
creating Federal food control, regit-
letlng prices and assuming general
control Of the production and dlstri-
bsition OF war material and the neccs-
saries OF life, It has revolutlonized the
relations hitherto existing between The
government and the citizen. In putting
on the government the duty Of regu-
latlng industry and Of suspendlng pro-
fteering and competition In a free
market, 70 has challenged the prln-
clple OF individuallsm on which our
economic structure has been built and
which our government Of distributed
and uncOordlnated powers was skill
fully devised 10 foster. The legislation
OF this session has been in its vital
parts an indictment OF the feebleness
and inemciency OF the general Amer
lean scheme Of government.
10 would be more than flattering to
Congress to assume that what IL did
along these lines 1t did with a genuine
appreciation Of what Il was doing
with a deliberate destructive or con-
structlve intent. But IL is evident that
Congress has acted throughout under
the pressure OF a Will other than Its
own. This Congress differs little in
character from the Congress which
preceded It. It mot in April last in a
dazed condition Of mind-in much the
same condition in which the Sixty
fourth Congress had muddled through
the first two years Of the Europear
war. 10 had offered no leadership wheT
the country faced the great task o.
preparing for war. II was not com
petent to offer leadership when wal
caught us unprepared.
War is great enllghtener. II turn
