ANDHARD|NCCLAS
MondeIl, Republican Hous 9
Leader, Declares Relations
Are Harmonious
ATTACKS CERTAIN WRITER'S

Washington. March 30.--Congress
and President Harding are not at
losEerhesds. despite the impression
created BY certain writer's and GER
tain newspapers" Representative Mon
dell, Wyoming. Republican lender. do.
clared today in statement which he
said he had prepared for delivery as an
address In the House.
"The fact is that instead Of the
President and Congress being at logger
heads, as these writer's and journals
would have the country believe" stated
Mr.. Mondell. there never 'as been a
time in my quarter Of a century of ex :
istence in Congress when the relations
between the President and Congress.
particularly the House OF Representa-
tiyes. were more pleasant, cordial, SYM
pathetic and harmonious than at the
present time.
Recommendations Adopted
ANY one who will take the trouble
to read the recommendat tons of Presi-
dent Harding to this Congress from
time to time and to examine the record
Of Congress will find that practically
all of these recommendation have
either been written into law or are in
process Of enactment, and this applies
particularly to the record of the
House.
The Republican leader said he in.
yited comparison with any. period of
American history and challenged any
or more harmonious CO. operation be-
tween the President and Congress.
There has been general and sub
stantial accord. he added. not only on
matters Of primary Importance. but in
the consideration Of many questions Of
policy and detail.
Denies Friction Exists
Declaring that there seemed to be n
systematic attempt on the part Of
various newspapers and writers to
create the impression that there was
friction between the Executive and Re-
publican congressional leaders, Mr..
Mondell asserted that 'the anti-bonus
campaign Of certain metropolitan news
papers has given us the finest example
we have yet had as to the length to
which some people are willing to 60
in a campaign Of Misrepresentation.
Efforts are also being made, Mr..
Nondell declared, to make it appear
that there Is a wide rift between the
President and Republican leaders in
Congress over legislation affecting the
army and navy.
II venture the assertion" he
stated. that the Presidents view
with regard to the military establish
ment Is much more nearly in harmony
with the action which has been taken
by the House than it is with the atti-
tude Of the majority Of the newspapers
and Newspaper writers who have as
sumed to know and to promulgate his
views"

ity."

swings" from prosperity, the re-
port said, has followed its usual
rotation. This rotation is describ-
ed as follows:
Business activity and increased
production: excessive expansion
and speculation, followed hitherto
by panic and forced liquidation;
Z long period Of low liquidation,
business depression and stagna-
tlon, and then revival.
The earning assets Of all federal
reserve banks, the report said.
amounted on December 28, 1921.
10 s1.555.s51,0 900, compared with
sS,2Ss ,027, ,000-on December 81,

continued, amounted 10 $122,g65,-
600, compared with s1B1,2s7,OOO

On December 2S. the report con-
tinued, the federal reserve banks
held gold reserve Of $2,870,000,-

For some months past" the re-
port stated, there has been a
marked easing OF interest. Not
withstanding some unfavorable
features in the revenue laws, the
Investment market is now absorb
Ing securities at reasonable rates
which could not have been con-

Sees Re-export Possibilities

Much foreign merchandise now held
by importers in bonded warehouses
will be thrown on the market for re-
export at considerably below cost
prices, according to w. D. Ager repre-
sentative in this market of a number
Of foreign retail stores. The mer-
chandise held at this port has an
aggregate value of about $500, 100000
he estimates. About $100, 100000 worth
Of these goods probably will be with
drawn within the next few days. And
it seems certain that as much more as
possible will be taken out OF bond
before the new tariff becomes effective.
Mr. Ager says that he believes much of
the merchandise in bond is distress
goods" and held by banks and other
believes, much is held by individuals
who are unable to finance it's clear
ance from bond.
