"hut after a year of sterile debate it cpuld not record the passage of one single constructive measure

 The republican management" he said 'is rendering small service to America wnen f seeks to convert the machinery oi iis organization into an instrument oi attack upon American leadership and American honor. Only a progressive and far-seeiuE leadership could have brought Amercn Co her present place of power and honor. and yet the very men whs have stood in the way of all thes, measures Of progress. are the ones who are now criticising the conduct of tn, war and the activities of the American president"
