Republican Congress Effects
Many Vital Economic Measures

"Many vital economic measures, and
especially protective tariff legislation
to guard our industries, are impossible
with a Democratic free trader Of So
cialistic proclVities in the White
House. To accomplish such measures
to have, a Republican President, in
sympathy with q Republican House and
Senate.
Waste in Maladministration
"Great reductions in expenditures
have been effected, but we have been
met with resistance in some of the
departments and also by habits Of
waste backed by maladministration, by
sacrifice of efficiency to political pur
poses, never so recklessly indalged in
incompetency so marvellous that it
cannot be due to nature but must be
the result of art.
"Yet despite all these lettering con-
ditions an amount of work has boon
done which in days of peace would have
been considered remarkable but now
passes almost unnoticed because great
events have so crowded on each others
heels in the years of world war that
the comprehension and appreciation Of
legislative accomplishment are we'll
iiiSi ipot. LrG l!lt give Il ltW cHdlil-
Piles of what has been accomplished.
"The estimates have been reduced
over a billion dollars The oil leasing
and water power bills, two measures
of large effect and high Importance,
which have been halting and stumbling
for many years in the incapable hands
of a Democratic Administration, have
passed both houses, but the President
has vetoed the water power bill. We
have passed the vocational rehabilta-
tion act for the benefit of wounded sol
diers and several acts for the dispos-
ton of war material, very necessary
to our finances.
owe have amended and improved the
Federal Reserve and the farmers loan
acts. We have cared for the soldiers
of the Civil War, straitened in their
old age through the rise in prices, by
an increase in their pensions.

which cannot be reached directly by
statutes. If production begins to fail
and fall off, the cost of everything
will be advanced by the simple force
of scarcity, which inevitably drives
prices upward. The most essential
remedy for high costs is to keep up
and increase production. and particu-
larly should every effort be made to
advance the productivity of the farms.
Just how much the government can do
in this direction is uncertain, but 1t
can aid and support, and if anything
can be done it must not be omitted or
overlooked.
"At the same time it must not be
forgotten that there is a vast differ
cnce between the powers of the ma
tional government in time of war and
those which it possesses in time of
peace.
"The normal limitations of times of
peace restrict very much the powers of
the general government and in helping
to increase the productivity of the
farms, which must be done through
government action, the Republican
party promises to use every power In
this direction whether within the
state or Federal jurisdiction.
II have touched upon this matter of
prices and the high cost of living be-
cause it is altogether the most impor
tant domestic question now before the
country and one to which the Repub-
lican party should address itself with
out delay in every direction where help
Ia possible. There are, Of course, as
have said, many other important eco
nomic questions to be dealt with as
speedily as may be, but the time
allotted to me makes It impossible to
touch upon them all.
The Railroad Act
There is, however, ono measure
which cannot be passed over, single
great law which has been enacted and
which in any period would be sufficient
TO distinguish a Congress az one of
high accomplishments. This Is the rail
road act. For six months able commit
tees In both houses, committees where
no party limo was drawn, toiled day
after day upon this most intricate Of
problems.
There was much serious debate in
both Senate and House and then the
bill, signed by the President, became
law No doubt time and experience
will show that improvements in the act
can be made, but in the main it is a
remarkable piece of legislation and in
general principles Ia entirely sound,
and nothing could be moro unfair than

servants of the government, has been
passed. We have been obliged to re-
store the army and navy to a peace
footing, work as difficult as it was
necessary.
Two Important Measures
eve have met this by two most i'm
portant measures, the army and navy
pay bill and the law for the reorganiza-
tlon of the army on q peace basis. Two
OF the most important acts of any
period, the shipping act for the up
building of the American marine and
the settlement of the affairs of the
Shipping Board and the law establish
ing the budget, great measure Of
economy and sound financial adminis-
tratlon, are conspicuous as our latest
achievements. The budget bill was
vetoed by the President at the last
moment on the ground that it inter
Tered with his power of appointment
and removal
"The list of beneficial laws, passed
under adverse circumstances, might be
largely extended did not time forbid.
But these are enough to show the far
reaching results of the labors of this
Congress, whose time is but little more
than half spent. Some of the master
minds OF the Democratic party are now
chirruping away like incessant little
birds that the Republicans have done
nothing
81 should be glad, omitting the two
years of war when both parties worked
together, to put the recorded accom-
phshment of the five years of complete
Democratic control beside that Of our
eighteen months hampered by an inim-
ical Administration. Let me assure
you that we do not fear the compari-
son.
owe have made remarkable begin
ming, but we are fully conscious that
it is only n beginning. Much has been
done, MUCH more remains to do, and
we pledge ourselves to exert all our
energies to deal with what is still un-
done. The wreck and confusion of q
great war, in business, finance and all
economic conditions. cannot bo cleared
away and fully readjusted in wear and
half, nor indeed in twice that time.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-09

"We are met here to take the nrso,H
the most decisive step in the political
campaign which is to determine the
party control of this great government
for the next four years 1t is a solemn
moment, fraught with vast possibili
ties Of either good or evil. Well worth
our while it is just here upon this
bank and shoal Of time to pause for
an instant while we glance swiftly
upon the scene in which we are to
fight our battle.
"Behind US lies the greatest war

silent, together with all the hideous
advances of science in methods Of tax
ing human life which battened upon

has suspended. but the ocean still
heaves and rolls with cresting waves.
while the dead seas of the storm which
has passed crash sullenly against the
shores that shelter and sustain the
vast fabric which we are wont to call
our civilization.
New Problems and Trials
eve find ourselves gazing upon the
problems and trials which the huge
convulsion has left to us and with
which we must cope and cope success
fully If we are to rebuild and again
move onward. The ruined towns, the
broken industries, the desolated farms
are there before our eyes wherever
the battles were fought. Countless
little mounds mark the resting places
of the dead in the fields and on the
hillsides torn and gashed by shot and
shell. Signals of mourning through
out the world tell us of the irreparable
losses of all nations which have swept
away such an appalling portion of the
youth of every land, those in whom
were garnered up the hopes and
strength of the future.
"The splendor of the achievement Of
our soldiers and sailors, their daunt-
less courage and unshrinking service,
will always remain one of the proudest
memories in the history of the Re
public. But the dead return not and
the shadow of the great sorrow for
those forever gone will never be lifted
from the hearts of the people who
sent them forth to battle.
"The material side Of the war re
suits is, like the spiritual, ever with
us. We feel in daily life the grinding
up taxes which have been piled upon
sour shoulders and upon those of pos
aterity Great empires have been swept
from the earth, ancient monarchies
have crumbled In an hour and long
established governments have tottered

clear before them and did not shrink
from fulfilling it. Thirty-nine of them
in March, 1919, signed statement
setting forth that the first draft of the
league as Mr.. Wilson brought it back,
announcing that it must be taken just
as it stood, could not be accepted by
the Senate in that form.
Dangers in the League
"The President returned to Europe
with this warning before him and be-
fore the world. He admitted a few
slight changes in the covenant, for the
most part unimportant and some of
which made the second draft worse
than the first. He forced the Allied
and associated powers to yield to his
demand that the covenant of the
league should be interviewer with the
treaty of peace.
"To accomplish this he surrendered
the principle of the freedom of the
seas-whatever that may have been
to Great Britain, and he made prom
ises and concessions to France not
yet fulflled-which brought him the
French support. Having thus carried
his point abroad he brought the treaty
with Germany home and laid it before
the Senate.
"To the great mass of the American
people he said: This covenant Of the
league of nations will. bring to the
world lasting peace Every one de-
sired lasting peace, and without paus-
ing to consider or even to read the
covenant, thousands upon thousands of
good people united in the demand that
the Senate ratify and take the league
at once and without consideration, just
as it stood
"The Republicans of the Senate. per-
ceiving the dangers of the league, deter
mined to resist Mr. Wilson's demand,
even at the cost of delaying the treaty
of peace with Germany. They felt that
the one thing necessary was to have
the people understand the treaty, that
they might realize what it meant and
what it threatened SO the long debate
began and it has lasted for moro than
year.
cat the outset that portion of the
people who wished an instantaneous
and unqualified acceptance of cove
nant which most of them had never
read had possession in large measure
of the press and other methods of OBJ
taininr publicity and thus were able
to keep up a continual cry for immedi-
ate ratification.
"The vocal part of the community
felt almost universally, as they lis
| tened to each others voices, that the
whole country was with them, but they
forgot the great inarticulate masses of
the people who went silently about
their work and their business who did
not write letters to the newspapers OF
/ publish circulars or spend millions in
spreading their views through power
full organs and active associations. but
who simply loved their country and
thought first Of the interests of
America.
