WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-We need
the present Congress that strong mi
nority is the Democratic party. But
it is hard to attempt to do anything
with a strong minority unless there
is a reasonable majority.
Opposition is necessary in nil dis
cussions; 1t becomes Of inestimable
value when it is intelligent and or
ganized. This is the function Of the
minority in Congress. The greater the
intelligence Of an organization the
more progressive shall be the laws
finally enacted
Firm Influence Needed
However. unless the steam roller
methods OF the present Republican
majority give way to a progressive,
constructive. legislative frame OF
mind, the minority cannot be effective.
Although the minority may be ham
pered by steam-rollerism, and effect
i've criticism is denied. It can never
theless contribute a steady pressure
by which attention may be focused on
certain legislative needs which 9th
erwise would be ignored.
in the present instance that Is what
our Democratic minority has done.
Have Made Good
At the Presidents request we have
come back to Washington after the
six weeks recess. and urged upon the
House the necessity of acting on GER
tain measures which the Republicans
would like to pigeon-hole indefinitely.
Furthermore. in our attempt to exer-
Else the true and worthy function of
a minority we have responded to the
Presidents request in proportionately
greater numbers than the Republic
ans.
OF course the Democrats are not
always going to be the minority
party. In fact. that role may soon
fall to the Republicans. Without
viewing the situation In the light OF
absolute craftsmanship. I venture the
opinion that a Democratic majority
would never sUccumb to the dilatory
tactics which have characterized the
present Administration party
