rs miles from the railroad, several
carloads of fat hogs were available
for market but there was no means
of shipping them to the nearest rail
point. The solution was found by
the highway to carry mo-
tor transport, the hogs were moved
rapidly to rail shipping point and an
additional food supply thereby made
available. And the solution of this
problem had the effect Of moving
the whole back country, vast area
in itself, up closer to the railroads
and the markets of the world. While
the exodus of the hogs symbolixed

"A great deal Of information has
now been made available through
the highway transport committee OF
the Council of National Defense, per-
tanning to the most effective utiliza-
ton on highways. No man today

for these reasons the Townsend bill,
which aims to create National High

Domestic PeOb|ens

Of Congress

WASHINGTON. May 29.-onc
hundred and thirty years and more
have passed since the first Congress
of the United States met in New York
for its first session, with John Lang
don, of New Hampshire, president
pro tempore of the Senate and Fred
erick A. Muhlenberg, of Penusyl-
vania, speaker of the House. Diff
cult and numerous as we're the
problems which then stood out ahead
OF that Congress, they were in many
respects no more difficult than the
questions which loom up ahead of
the Sixty-sixth Congress. now in ex-
ira session.
For the first time in the history
of the United States Congress OPP
ems its session with the White House
empty Of the chief executive, its en-
cumbent having been abroad for
months and, as matter of course,
out OF touch with domestic affairs.
The end of the war with Germany
and the beginning Of the reconstruc-
ton period has brought the country
face to face with new issues and
new problems. which, so far as the
domestic peace. welfare and happi-
ness of the American people are
concerned, are fundamentally vital.
DOMESTIC ISSUES MOST VIAL
From many points of view. they
are much more ultimately concern
ed with the well being of the people
than the international issues which
for months have been threshed over
at Paris.
From all quarters OF the United
States, north. south, east and west.
come demands and entreaties that
these things of deep American inter-
est be taken up and dealt with wise
ly and comprehensively. The new
congress is looked to by the nation
to do this.
Comparatively little was done to-
wards reconstruction in the last SEES
sion of the Sixty-fifth Congress. vir-
tualiy the entire vast task of law
making for the reconstruction period
falls on the new Congress. The
leaders of the House and Senate re-
alize fully what this means in the
way of responsibility. At the same
time. they feel that while the respon-.
Isibility is great the opportunity is
likewise great and they are not
shrinking from the undertaking.
[ This is one of the times in Amer
lean government affairs when the
majority in both houses of Congress
lis of different party from the
President. The House and Senate
are Republican. The administration
is Democratic and there is strong
minority Of that party in the House
and Senate. Presumably, however,
there will be no serious attempt
from the White House or from min
ority members of House and Senate
to interfere with the passage of i'm
portant constructive measures which
in the eyes OF the nation without re-
CAD to party. are imperatively need
ed.
