The Sixty-sixth Congress, the one
the Republicans won on promises Of
constructive legislation will be known
throughout the country as the weak
kneed Congress. More things have
been started by the Republicans and
fewer things finished than We're ever
known in q national legislative body
in this country gefore
Here are some of the propositions
put forward to be withdrawn or drop
ped later.
The universal military training pro-
vision, which has been stricken from
the army organization bill. The
plan now to turn the matter over
to Especial commission" That is
one way to, kill legislation over which
there is a controversy.
The soldiers and sailors bonus plan
was rushed into the House by the Re-
publicans. Representative Mondell,
the House leader, was so eager to OBJ
tain credit for the proposed land bill
that he appropriated the suggestion
of the Democratic Secretary of the
Interior. Later the whole problem
was passed to the Ways and Means
Committee, there to rest The real
purpose of the leaders was to dodge
the issue.
The merchant marine plan of the
Republicans was allowed to sink out
of view
The loudly heralded purpose to re-
wise the. tariff ras been relegated y
The promise for reajustment or
a repeal Of war taxes ras been for
gotten.
| Republican Senators are worried
over the Martens investigation start
ed by Senator Moses of New Hamp
shire. They would like to have it
concluded so that the Department #
Justice may deal with Ludwig G. A.
K. Martens, the Rolshevik represent
ative in this country
Senator Moses has delayed the hear
ings first on one pretext and then an
other. In the meantime, Martens
is at liberty. -
At the moment that the inquiry was
started the Department of Justice was
ready to take charge of the Russian
agitator. 1t was the purpose of the
Government to deport him The
Moses investigation interfered with
that program. Martens was called
to testify, which gave him just op-
portunity he sought to spread his doc
trine in the Unied States
1t is asserted that Senator Moses
deferred the Martens inquiry to give
'irreconcilable" opponents of the lea
que of nations time for speaking tour
about the country.
The wasting of time by the Moses
committee, that various partisan
plans could be forwarded, has pro-
longed the stay of Martens in the
United States several months The
Department of Labor and the Depart:
ment of Justice are eager to start
him on his way back to his own
country. They know that this is
not the place for him.

while fighting for high marks by cx-

members of the union may hold places
of commanding responsibility and will
insist that the guarding business be run

pointed as the summer crowds increase
in size.
