Discusses Arms Conference and States That Results Are
 Grossly Exaggerated

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16-The Democratic congressional campaign in the middle west was opened here tonight by Chairman Hull of the na- tional committee, with an address in which he declared "aimlessness and inaction" to be the controlling policy of the Republican administration.
 Speaking before the Indiana Dem ccratic Editorial Association. Chair man Hull asserted that Republican leaders. with all their falsehoods ex- posed and all their promises broken" were pursuing a "rudderless course while the people continue to cry out for relief
 He added that "in the meantime. the Lodges, the Newberrys and those Of their ilk in control of the Repub- lican party, are having their frequent political Belshazzar feasts in the na- tion's capital"
 The Democratic chairman alluded to the arms conference at several points in his address, at one time declaring its proceedings and achievements" 10 have been grossly exaggerated" and at another making the charge that the Republican administration through the conference, had surrendered more of our national sovereignty than has been previously surrendered in more than 100 years"
 Particular stress was laid by Hull on what he declared was the inabillty of the Republican administration tC cope with disturbed economic condi- tions, and in that connection he oh hot fy, 1920, deceived the people by failing to point out the imminent depression.
 Tn my Judgment" he told the in- diana Democratic editors, cattle we e never more delibertely led to slaugu- ter nor sheep to the shambles than were the American people led over the precipice to panic conditions and terrific business demoralization by the national Republican leadership from 1918 to 1921. No people. free or serf, were ever worse fl.mfiammeu and buncoed than the American cleo torate by the Republican political pa triots in control prior to the Novem- Der election in 1920. Since that cleo tion, the people, following this same Republican leadership, have waltzed down the economic decline to the level of industrial panic. In this con- dition of almost unparalleled distress, the Republican administration, while rather sheepily admitting conditions, . has no views as to causes or rem edies."
 Time was, Chairman Hull declared when the American voters believed that Republican administration and business prosperity go hand in hand, but. he added, never again wifi tn American voter be duped by the false and hypocritical doctrine that Repub- lican administration means prosper ity."
 The Democratic chairman several times referred to the address recently made by Vice President Coolidge in Indianapolis, and criticised the vice president for what he described as his 'egregarious blunder in his claim of congressional economy ana his deadly silence on the Newberry scandal which took place under his very nose" Republican statements or saving in government expenditures. he continued. was not acraI pur q mere paper saving"
 ] Before entering upon his discussion Of the arms conference, Hull paid his respects to Senator Lodge, declar- ing This torturous course in politics is most remindful of that of Cataline, the political conspirator in the kuIhan senate, while his statesmanship most nearly resembles that of Aaron Burr. % (Continued on Page Two)
