why isn't some move being made?
The trouble in large measure is not
with congress, but with the admiuis-
tration. There has been no desire for
immediate action; indeed. the adminis-
tration has put its thumb on immediate
action, apparently because action Is not
wanted until the treaty is disposed Of
Europe is going into a winter of
very great privatiou, and Of the sort
that breeds political trouble, There
is need for immediate action from every
point Of view, Our great exports can
not continue unless there Is adequate
credit arranged In some form,
Il can not emphasize too strongly
the necessity for thorough going i'm

hearty cooperation of the government,
