CONGRESS MAKES
GOOD RECORD FOR
WORK TURNED OUT
Republicans Are Carrying Out
a Great Constructive Pro-
grant, Says Leader MondeII
in Reviewing Situation,

Washington, Sept. 30-How great
is the constructive program which
congress has mapped out and has al
ready in large part accomplished is in
dicated in a statement which has been
issued by Representative Mondell, ma
jority leader of the house. He enumer-
ates the measures which have been
passed and sets forth a great amount
of work which the republicans have
already accomplished, He points out
that vast reductions have been made
in government expenditures, that
steps have been taken 10 reduce the
high cost of living and that many
large problems of policy for the re-
construction period involving the rail-
roads the merchant marine, the army,
a budget system and other matters are
being worked out as speedily as pos
sible.
Mr.. Mondell's statement not only
reveals the enormous amount of work
which the congress has done and Is
doing but it is an answer to those who
are seeking to belittle the construc-
tive achievement of the house and SEN
ate.

one explanation is that you have
thought so much of home as to pre-
vent your really putting your whole
strength into your studies. 1t is
most natural that you should count
the days before coming home. and
write as you do that it will only be
thirty-three days. only twenty-six
days. only nineteen days, etc. but at
the same time il seems to me that
perhaps this means that you do not
really put all your heart and all your
head effort into your work: and that
If you are able to. il would be far
better to think just as Little as possi-
BILE about coming home and resolutely
set yourself to putting your best
thought into your work. 1t Is an Illus
tration of the old adage about putting
your hand to the plow and then look
ing back. In after life. of course. il
is always possible that at some time
you may have to go away for year
or two from home to do some piece
OF work. If during that whole tine
you only thought day after day of
how soon you would get home think
you would find 1t difficult TO do your

we had Prof. Yamashita up here to

our wrestling are SO far apart that

is really meant for practice in killing

Grant. and inside OF two minutes more

that he could have put Grant out.
