An American Congress, Anyway

from the Congressional elections were so incomplete that no deti- nite conclusions as to the result could be reached. Both parties were claiming to have elected a majority of Congress, but their confidence vas based upon hope rather than information.
 Republican or Democratic in name as they may be, we must believe that the new House and Senate will be periodically American, and that the more truly these bodies are Republi can or Democratic the more they will be inclined to co operate Joy ally with the President for war or for peace.
 We do not mean by this that all Republicans chosen yester day are well disposed and we know that some of the Demo crats who will appear in the new body are far from that. What we regard as certain, without refer ence to party control, is that on both sides of the political line there will be enough reasonable and devoted Americans to pro vide great majority in support of tbe Administration in every policy and measure calculated tu promote the honor and welfare of the Republic.
 Under the leadership of Theo dore Roosevelt many Republi cans have assumed attitudes as mischieYouS and ungenerous as his own, but who can believe that all Senators and RepreSen- tativec of that party, or one-half. or even one quarter of them, will in any circumst stances place them selves under his irresponsible command and become merely ob Structionists, full of detraction and untruth?
 Ever since the United States entered the war, Democratic as we'll as Republican members of the present Congress have been entreated by, and in some in. stances have yielded to influences IS selfish as those which have
 made MT. Roosevelt one of the >orriest spectacles of our public fife, but the great majority have stood fast and true. That it vii oe so in the new Congress. ire 'pective of party, we are conf dent.
 It has pleased Mr. Roosevelt to adopt d form of partnership which is Prussian through and through to the extreme of Junk erism. While autocracy in Eu- rope has been crumbling he has been posing in America as one anointed with the holy oils of Di vine right. In his attitude to ward the Government of the Uni ted States and it's conduct of the war he has been studiously in sulting and malicious. He has belittled triumphs which have won the homage of every free nation add carried terror to the heart of the enemy. From the beginning of the war to the pres. enl hour of victory he has had no word of commendation for anybody but himself, no praise but his own braggart self-praise DO appreciation except for the easily moved throngs which have applauded his contemptible and all but seditious words.
 The new Congress will have to deal with the questions of peace and reconstruction. No doubt it will be assailed on ali sides by the forces of reaction and greed. of which MT. Roosevelt is the .ad vance agent. No doubt, with a Presidential election coming be. fore the end of it's term, the dis position to play politics will be pronounced. But whatever its nominal pOlitical npiov,oy, ,nov

Thomas Promises
Il. K. Operators Aid
In w. u. Strike

fercy Thomas, Eastern representa-
tive of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union OF America, announced yester-
Gay that the organization would confer
on Wednesday in Chicago with the In
ternational Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers and the Order of Railway
Ielegraphers as to the strike situa-
ton. The railway telegraphers, Mr..
Thomas said, had pledged their assist
ance to the commercial operators in
case of strike against the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
He was confident that the electrical
workers would do likewise and that
the Chicago conference would result in
triple alliance that would smother
Western Union offices in unsent mes
sages in the event of strike. He
pointed out that with the three organi-
cations standing firm and the govern
ment frowning upon personally con-
Quoted telegraph dispatches, even in
tbs. case of night letters, the Western
Union would find it extremely difficult
to get messages through.
1t was said that the telegraphers
had the full support of the American
Federation of Labor Samuel Gompers
feeling that he had done his utmost to
prevent a strike. Although it is con-
sidered likely that strike order may
be issued, union officials are said to
have confidence that government in
tervention will prevent the strike even
from starting.
Ore of the objects of the Chicago
conference is believed to be that of
forcing the governments hand by q
strike order in the belief that soon
after it is issued the Administration
wires, a consummation for which the
unions long have devoutly hoped.
They want to have the entire telegraph
system controlled and operated by the
government.
AS the National War Labor Board
favored the telegraphers' union in it's
dispute with the Western Union, the
men are confident that President Will
son can do no less than seize the wires
when a strike threatens.

Doughnut Makers Missed
by Enemy Fire by Scantest
of Margins, Says Report


Commander Evangeiine Booth, of the
salvation Army, last night received a
report of the activities of her organ
lzat'on just behind the American lines,
telling of the experience of "doughnut
girls" under fire and. incidentally, of
three Harvard students who hauled
wood and water for the Salvation
Army shelters as punishment for GER
tam unauthorized research work in
which they engaged.
The other day." says the report,
three students of Harvard University
decided they would like to inspect the
RUNS OF nearby village.
They were refused leave. but took
IL any way, figuring they could get
back before a report of their absence
could be made. They might have sue
ceeded. only they met an American
sentry who refused to fall in with
their plans.
"They dumped the sentry with his
rife into shallow canal and ran. but
were reported. They were sentenced
to drag wood and water for Salvation
Army hats, and at this writing tbev
are not only working with will. bnt
seem pleased with the sentences.''
In the sector where this Salvation
Army unit was serving more pies and
doughnuts than the narrator could
estimate, the. shelter of dNeouts and
trenches was left only after dark, when
the refugees themselves were targets
for shells and aerial bombs. Alice and
Violet McAllister, sisters, of Portland

Upon Exports
New Policy Is Adopted to
Stabilize Exchange Rates
in Neutral Countries

WASHINGTON, June 3O.--The early
return to Europe Of Oscar Il. Crosby
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury. at
the mead OF staff Of experts in finance
and other economic subjects, and with
new title of Commissioner of Finance
Tor the United States, will mark a new
phase IN this country's efforts to unity
the resources of the Allies and to mini.
mlIe the wars effect on neutrals.
resides retaining his position and
Council, which virtually is priorities
board for American loans, Mr.. Crosby
OF or members Of his staff expect to visit
the Allied and some neutral countries
20 study foreign exchange, export and
import and other financial and eco
nomic problems. Ultimately this is ex.
pected to lead to measures for stabilix-
ing exchange rates.
Staff To BE Announced Soon
MIR. Crosby's staff, to be announced
soon, will be equipped with full in
formation for dealing with financial
problems which may arise out of any
change of relations with Russia. Mr.,
Crosby. in the two months since he
returned from Europe, has discussed
with President Wilson and other GOV
ernment officials the United States re-
lat'ons with other allies and neutral
countries, and is thoroughly acquainted
with the governments policies.
Steps also have been taken to
coordinate the work Of this financial
commission with that of other repre-
sentatives Of the United States who
will be sent to Europe to take up oues-
tions relating to food distribution and
similar problems.
Tentative plans for dealing with the
through this Commission are beIasetj believed
partly responsible for the Treasury's
reluctance to approve at this time the
organization Of government foreign
exchange, proposed in bill pending in
Congress.
After extensive study Of exchange
rates and influences affecting them by
experts of the Treasury, Federal Re
serve Board and War Trade Board, a
new policy of removing drastic embar-
goes on certain exports and imports
has been formulated. This will be put
into effect gradually in the light of in
formation and advice to be furnishe ed
by Mr.. Crosby's commission.
In general. this new plan provides
Tor permitting the export Of manufact-
ured products regarded as somewhat
non-essential, such as iewelry, optical
glass and musical instruments. These
products, if sent to countries exporting
quantities Of material to the United
States, would serve as effectually a.
actual money to preserve exchange
rates at par, officials say, without re
sort. to temporary expedients for main
tanning dollar exchange.
