man OF the Democratic national
committee declared tonight in a
statement reviewing the first year
OF the Republican party's admins

THE patent failure OF the chief
Republican policies and the aston

leadership after March 4. 1921, CON
stitute the chief characteristics of
the IL months OF the Harding ad-
ministration, CordeN Hull de-
clared The first year of this ad

for its failures rather than its sue
cesses
Having for temporary political
advantages. helped TO crate condi-
tions now so grievously complained
OF by the people, Republican lead
ers are stopped from asking to be
excused for their failure to remedy
them"
Chairman Hull asserted that hav-
ing defeated in 1919 and 1910 the
reconstruction program OF the Dem
ocrats. the Republicans "are now
proposing the same remedies" to
restore the country from panic con-
d!tioiss which the program was de
signed to avoid.
Declaring that Republican lead
unCracious task of trying to picture

their merits determined in tho light
of Republican election prom
ises. and also in connection with the
usual opportunity for greater ser
vice. than in strictly normal times
hen the opportunity and the need
for service are only ordinary. "The
true test Of Republican success or
failure during the past twelve
months is the question OF whether
the party leaders were able to visu-
alize the physical facts showing the
true position OF America under post
war conditions and apply such sound
economic and other policies as would
best safeguard our economic and
other essential interests and meet
our plain responsibilities.

charge that the Republican leader

the policy OF every nation for Itself
