WASHINGT ON, March GA minor
and partial step toward world peace
Is the way Cordell Hull, chairman Of
the Democratic national committee,
summed up the achievements Of the
ornaments conference. Mr.. Hull in
discussing the results Of the first
year Of the Republican Administra-
Ihon in reply to recent statements of
Administration spokesmen, declared
the accomplishments Of the Washing
ton meeting, when compared to the
really great and fundamental prob
lens to be solved, dwindle into in
significance"
"a political party" he asserted, "un-
I'll that has thus signally failed on
great occasion Is stopped from Offering
an excuse or even plea In mitigation.
Republican leaders were supposed TO
nave a full and correct grasp of post
war conditions and problems when they
made their innumera BILE promises TO the
people In 1920. In the light of true facts,
charge the Republican leadership from
1918 to 1921 wholly failed to grasp world
facts and conditions and Americas true
relation to them. Those leaders early I'm
1919 proclaimed the policy OF every ma
tion for itself and Of commercial iso
lation' for ourselves. At thar time the
crying need was the further establish
ment of peace conditions everywhere by
the close moral and economic cooperation
OF all nations, especially the STRONGER
ones"
CITES IMPORTANT
NEEDS OF NATION
What the world needed from 1913 to
le-1' Mr. Hun said, was the speedy bal
ancing Of governmental budgets. the eg-
tablishment Of sound currency systema
the maintenance of trade relations and
acceleration of the work Of catching up
with production To the Republican
Congress OF those years and the Harding
Administration for the year Of its power
the Democratic chairman ascribed the
failure Of nations to avoid or 10 lesson
the violent panic conditions" which
came Is the result of Americas world
role.
Had the Republicans" continued Mr.
null, Patrioucallr Joined during 1918
and 1920 in putting through the pro-
posals OF the Democratic Administration
IL
tions today would be vastly different
Three big results of such blind partisa n
negation at that stage are the loss of our
foreign markets. the consequent ruin of
out great merchant marine and failure
appreciably to reduce taxes.
NOT EVEN HEADED
TOWARD NoRMALCY.
This Nation never can get out Of the
present economic slough Of desmond
and back to SOUND stable prosperity until
/ our foreign market conditions are re-
stored to a healthy reciprocal basis and
radical reductions Of all governmental
expenditures are Effected. The Repub-
lican high tariff policy and commercial
Isolation, which thus far have been their
outstanding remedies for post war ills
fly In the face of every sound economic
law Of today.
''The Republican Congress. in control
for three years, and the entire Admins
tration for one year have wholly failed
to make good their pre- e-election prom
ises and to grasp true economic condi-
ttOns. The Administration clearly has
missed the fundamentals both Of con
diti0ns and remedies.
1.-THE patent failure of the chief Re
publican policies and the astounding
/ breakdown OF reactionary leadership
after March 4, 1921, constitute the Chief
distinguishing characteristics of the first
twelve months of the Harding Admin
lstration. The first year of this Admin
istration always will be notable for its
failures, rather than it's successes. -
