Present Administration Will Be Known for Its Failures, Democratic Leader Says
 in Statement
By AssocIated Prnss

Washington, March 5.-The repub- l'ean majority in Congress during it's three years of control of the govern ment since 1918 and the republican administration during the past year, have wholly failed to make good their prediction promises and to grasp the true economic conditions and apply sound remedies therefor" Cordell Hull, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee. declared tonight fin statement reviewing the first year Of the republican party's administration of national affairs.
 "The patent failure of the chief re- publican policies and the astonishing breslseto VII Of che= reaeff5nary f.aaer- ship after March 1, 1921. constitute the chief characteristics of the 12 months of the Harding administra- tions," MT Hull declared. The first year of this administration will al- ways be notable for It's failures rather than It's successes.
 Having for temporary political ad- vantage helped to create conditions now so grievously complained of by the people, republican leaders are estopped from expecting to be ex- eused for their failure to remedy them"
 Defeated Reconstruction Program
 Chairman Hull asserted that hay ing defeated in 1919 and 1920 the re- construction program of the demo- crats the republicans are now pro- posing the same remedies to restore the country from panic conditions which the Legislation was designed to avoid.
 Declaring that leaders are just now engaged in the task of trying to pie ture to the country creditable rec ord for the Harding administration thus far, the statement continued'

 True Test of Success
 "The true test of republican sue cess or failure during the past months is the question of whether the party leaders were dDle to NlSudilzt the physical facts showing the true position of America under post-w war conditions and apply such sound eco- homie and other policies as would best safeguard our economic and other essential interests and meet our plain responsibilities.
 "The mere pointing to inconse- quential budgetary paper savings or to the taking of only minor and partial step in dealing with com b.ned domestic and world peace and economic conditions by restricted armament conference when compared with the really great and fundamen- tai problems to be solved dwindle Into comparative insignifcance.

Instead of so doing these leaders early in 1919 proclaimed the policy of every nation for itself and of commercial isola- ton for ourselves"
