C0UNTRY,S FINANCES SOUND

That the first six months OF
the war would have bankrupted
the United States in credit and
money had it not been for the
financial policy inaugurated un-
der the Federal Reserve act and
supplementary legislation, is as
serted by Senator King, OF Utah.
Replying to incidental criti-
cism of the currency law by
Senator McCumber during
Senate debate, Senator King
showed that one Of the first
things attempted by the Demo
cratic party when it came into
power was the enactment of cur
rency legislation which had been
lacking under Republican leader
ship. The Federal Reserve act.
he said. had stood the test of
both peace and war, and the
country's finances are now sta
bilized as they never have been
in history.
HAS the Senator advocated it,

Senator King. 81 did not recall
that he or any other Republican
has seriously attacked the Fed
cral Reserve act or has offered
amendments of a vital or import
ant character to that great and
constructive measure. l have
wondered what would have been
the result il the Federal Reserve
act had not been upon the statute
books and If we had had on the

why. il it had not been for
the financial policies OF the Dem
ocratic party which have been.
crystalized into law under the
splendid leadership of Woodrow
Wilson. our country would have
been bankrupt. SO far as credit
and money were concerned. with
in the first six months of the
war"
Senator King reviewed the his
tory of financial legislation. the
inadcquacy of the temporary
measure known as the Aldrich-
Nreeland bill and the failure OF
the Senate under the leadership
of Senator Aldrich to enact COM
prehensive currency legislation
that would meet every condition
Continuing, he said:
Commissions were created !
from time to time by the Repub-
lican party to consider financial
legislation and they had utterly |
failed to function. The
Republican party had been in
power for many years, and its |
craftsmanship had been so bank

not devise a fiscal policy that
could ride the storms of little 4

rNIIAT rugged old Brtisher Samuel Gompors, titular
u head OF the American Federation OF Labor after hav-
ing repeatedly condemned attempts to influence the labor
vote has come out with doctored statement which Is
meant to influence the Federation members in favor Of
Candidate Cox one Of he cealnts against Mr.. Harding
his vote to strike the labor charter from heeague OF
nations
AS matter OF fact not few Democratic Senators IA
vored the striking OF that charter And Senator La
Toilette who stands ace high with labor, the bitter
est opponent OF that very charter.
'The truth probably Is that sam Gompers with his es
sentally British slant OF mind wants Cox elected be-
cause OF the certainty that will thereby be projected
into the league without any saving reservations, and sam
ue as the grand paniandrum Of the labor world viii have
achieved an ambition second only TO that sought by Mr.
Wilson as president OF the sUper-government which HI
attempted to create and whose power behind the thron
is John Bull with his six to dozen votes in the leasu
assembly.
