TribulatiOns for Congress


That the congressman who takes
himself seriously is finding his hands
full these days days may readily be
inferred. Labor wants protection
from immigration, and the country
should be afforded some assurance
against the hordes which now
threaten. The farmer wants protec-
ton against the influx of foodstuffs
which will prevent him from selling
his crops for enough to pay his fer
tilizer bills. 1t is for the interest of
all that those who provide food shall
find reasonable profit in their voca-
ton. The wool grower sees the coun-
try filed with wool. supply for two
years on hand and he. wants protec-
ton. The manufacturer of dyestuffs,
+ who came to the rescue in time of
war when the German plants were
no dyes, who put in a lot of capital
in the assurance that at the close of
of business by the Germans, he wants
that assurance made good. They all
want this at once. They declare
there is an emergency, and there is.
Those experienced in the making of
49, Nc liz -
ceedingly difficult task to arrive at
correct proportions and work out a
measure which may be enduring, and
they are shy Of these emergency
suggestions.
Meanwhile combination of south
ern and western congressman rush
through the Senate a resolution to
revive the War Finance Corporation
and to advise the Federal Reserve
Bank to do that which the banks of
North Dakota tried to do and failed;
in other words give extended credit
to farmers so that they may hold
their crops for higher prices.
Revival of the War Finance Cor
poration would mean that the gov
eminent must borrow money to loan
to exporters of foodstuffs who will
try and find a foreign market and
thus relieve overproduction at home
The House referred the measure to O
committee and if it should finally
pass the President is expected to
veto it on the ground that this would
result in dangerous imitation. While
the needs are quite generally recog-
nized it is believed the attitude taken
by the Federal Reserve has been on
the whole judicious.
Another complicating feature of
the situation was dwelt on at length
by Congressman Longworth in an ad-
dress before the Ways and Means
committee, declaring that in. deter
mining a tariff we must not lose
sight Of the fact that we should not
destroy Europe's power to pay us the
fourteen billion dollars she owes US.
He proposes some reciprocity ar
rangement, taking into account the
difference in wages and costs of pro-
duction, but the history of tariff
making shows little success in such
attempts heretofore.
1t is undoubtedly great to be a
congressman but 1t is likely to be a
considerable time before he comes
into full fellowship with that grand
and glorious feeling"

permitted Resolute to glide into the lead.
 For part of the first leg. the Amer ican sloop kept to the fore, but when she hit soft spot, the Irish cratt slipped again into first place, edging along until she was half a mile ahead. To the surprise of yachting experts, a fancy little staysail rigged on the challenger served her better than Res olutes big balIooner-
 Spectator craft grouped at the first turn greeted Shamrock with footing whistles as she rounded, 600 yards in the lead. Away on the second leg they sped, with the challenger catching every catspaw and Resolute rolling in the doldrums. Captain William F. Burton, who, it was reported, might be removed from command of Sham rock because of his showing in other races, was evidently making every eff fort to stage a comeback.
 Resolute made a brave showing at the beginning of the third leg, and picking up at the turn, fought her way home under the guidance of Captain Charles Frances Adams IT. disputing every second. But it was no use, and by the time Shamrock had crossed the line it was certain that she had won by a safe though narrow margin.
 The regatta committee at noon to- day hesitated 15 minutes and then de- cided that the westerly breeze would hold and hoisted the signals for q reach south southeast, a beat about west, and another reach northeast by north.
 For a time. the defender was more than a half mile ahead. Then the wind became tickle. Shamrock, which had worked out to Windward. found the edge of the breeze just as Resolute did when she gained such a lead last Saturday.
 Nursing the draft of air Burton ran by Resolute so fast that it looked as if the defender had dropped her an chor. Tn Is minutes the challenger was half a mile to the good.
 This practically settled the race Although Captain Adams handled Resolute wonderfully well, the drafts of air summed her almost completely.
 The yachts will race again tomorrow over a 30-mile winward and 1eeward course. If Shamrock wins, the cup departs for home.
