General Dawes Tells Congress

Maybe profanity never is justified
hut ii there be occasional instances
In which 1t is almost justitiable one Of
them IL the occasion of II cOugressiOn.
al investigation into something which
happened long ago and for which no
body liz going to he punished. General
Charles G. Dawes, an army officer and
a banker Of national fame, unterriietl
by the austere dignity Of house in-
vestigating committee, took occasion
one day last week to tell the commit
tee exactly what he thought Of 1t and
Its futile peeering into the past to sat
isfy Its curiosity and provide little
political capital. Moreover lie en-
l,ellished his remarks with few shots
Of profanity indicative of the fearless
army officer and the unterrificd banker.
He was right In every particular.
He and other good citizens did their
hest at home and overseas, and by do
ing their hest made 1t possible for the
German to Ike defeated. There was nn
occasional traitor here and there
one who couldn't resist the temptation
to pick)off fat profits for himself while
the honest folks were up to their eyes
In the work and couldn't watch him
but thank God the number Of this sort
OF men was few. On the whole the
nation acquitted itself crctlitaDly at
home and abroad, and no series Of piff-
ling investigations by curious congress
men can blind the world to that fact
What does congress expect to achieve
through Its Investigations? 1t doesn't
expect to prove anything or to convict
anyone: to reimburse the government
for money of which 1t was mulcted by
fat profiteers; to bring back the dead
who lost their lives by reason Of the
cupidity of some government contrac-
tor. II doesn't expect to achieve any
thing. In fact. except to cloud the -glor-
ious record Of the nation and supply a
little political ammunition. In view Of
the mhroken record Of flzxlcs which
three years Of investigation have de-
velOped, It would be far better II con-
gress would quit trifling and get down
to constructive business. We are glad
General Dawes told the committee this
and We feel no twinge Of national COM
junction because in the telling he used
a group Of well selected swear words.

vastly like mule. and everyone knows
that you can speak itellisently to a
mule. only when you use the mules own
