the Bolsheviki have forced a crossing

WASHINGTON. Mn 9

NlbAN i=ahpA iNAANAs
WASHINGTON, May "a
I ERE are some striking SEN
tences in Sampel Comp
ers's indictment OF Con-
gress and Attorney General
Palmer:
"The present Congress may be
indicted fairly as n Congress of
lncompetency on the cost Of liv-
ing issue"
ut may be indicted as a Con-
gress which hps been negligent
OF duty and thoughtless OF the
welfare of the people"
"The Department OF Justice
may be indicted for incompetency
on the same grounds"
"The Attorney General has
found it possible to indict corner
grocers and small haberdashers
for offenses which are OF no mo-
ment at all in comparison to the
whole situation. He has found it
possible TO advise people to eat
the poorer cuts OF meats, which
in effect constitutes a reduction
of their standard OF living. He
has found IL possible to do a
number Of ineffective things, but
seems TO have found it beyond
his capacity to do effective
things"
"The business OF discovering
causes and applying practical
and constructive remedies Is
business which seems not TO have
engaged the attention Of either
the Congress or the Attorney
General"
Prosecution of those seeking
to control supplies and prices in
contravention Of the Lever act
has constituted one OF the sad
comedies of the last few months.
There Is no need 10 review the
records Of the Department of
Justice in the prosecution Of big
prufiteers, There rs, In fact, no
