TESS LAUDS WORK
OF C. o. p. CONGRESS
Shows Ii Is In Harmony With Spirit
of the Harding Administers
ton, to Date.

Washington Sept. 1I--Tn the
four months ia which Il mas been in
session the present Republican Con.
gress has put thru a program of con.
structive and remedial legislation
which has been unsurpassed, accord
ing TO Representative Simon d. Tess
OF Ohio, chairman of the National
Republican Congressional Committee
He says:
LESS than six months ago Hard
ing was inaugurated President OF the
United States. Within a month he
called into special session Congress,
which has been in session a little ov-
er four months. Mr.. Harding has in
herited the Government of a Nation
whose fundamental principles had
been wholly suspended, if not over
turned, by a worldwide conflict.
The war had involved all the world
and had completely interrupted the
normal process of the laws of
economic and scientific operation. The
stress induced governmental interior
ehce, which suspended the laws of
production and consumption. The new
administration inherited a public
debt of $4,000, 1000, which has
been increased from 100000 to
this bewildering figure, the annual
interest of which is much greater
than the total cost of Government,
including Army and Navy, before the
war. 1t inherited a running expense
that is six times what ii was prior to
the war, which means that the bur-
dens of public taxation is that much
heavier than it was in 1914. II
found the Nations industries over
expanded by war demands, a pay roll
oyerbalanced, the laws of supply and
demand suspended, the Nations capt.
tai and labor menaced and the cost of
production abnormally high. 1t
found the debts made, but the bills
unpaid.
Disturbed as were our domestic
conditions, they were less critical
than were our foreign relations. The
intricate problems growing out of
European jealousies were further
complicated by an effort to bind the
Nation in plan Of supergovernment,
prevented only by the Senate, which
was overwhelmingly ratified in the
solemn referendum of last Noyem- /
Der.
''The new administration imme- /.
diately attacked the problem and has /.
cOurageOusly proceeded in the work ,
of readjustment to the point hire in .
less than six months time IL has
challenged the admiration OF the
world. Let the record speak for it.

and retaining our honorable posi-.
tion of noninterference in matters
not our own, and our uncOmpromis-
ing insistence of rightful recognition
of our place among the nations, pre-
serving our rights without offending
our rivals.
THE proposed surrender to Japan
of our uncontested international
rights in the Pacific attempted by the
treaty of Versailles as evidenced in
the zap episode, is already recalled,
and we are assured of national COM
posure upon our view as stated by
the State Department and reinforced
by including it in the program of the
coming conference. The same can
be said with Britain on the Mesopo-
tamia controversy, which is assured
in satisfaction of both parties. The
same with Mexico on her attempted
confiscation of property owned by
Americans. The exalted position
taken with the Reds of Russia was fl
, nal, justifiable, and salutary, not
only for us but for the Old World,
including Russia. Our position with
Panama is consonant with these &C
! complishments.
THE war was ended by congress
sional resolution July l, this year,
and steps are already completed for
the conference of nations called to-
gether by the President to agree to
disarmament. This much talked about
thing of world peace has taken long
er strides within the past six months
than in a century of dogmatic theoriz-
ing in the past and promises to be
the GROWING event of this century
All this has been accomplished by and
with the consent of those parties re-
sponsible for the movement of world
peace at home and abroad, and in a
manner which displays warmer spir-
it of cosmopolitan cooperation than
has up to date been noticed in the
conduct of nations in all our history.
in the four months of Congress
in special session attention is called to
a program of achievement not equal
ed by any Congress in the same length

Wilson's veto, but which is now in

fiscal reform and is one of the most
outstanding achievements of recent
times. This is the fulfillment of an
other platform pledge. In accordance
with this reform we have reduced
the pay roll here in Washington over
1000 since the armistice.
THE liquidation of war conditions
fell most heavily and suddenly upon
the agricultural interests, While 9TH
er industries still sustain high levels,
agriculture sank even below prewar
prices. This is due largely to the
character and condition of agricul-

That bill came before the House af-

now before the Senate. There is an
annual saving hire of S70O,O00.0OC

Government in 1912.
THE committee will now take up
the funding of the foreign loans. The
Senate is already considering this
