APPLEBY REVIEWS HIS
WORK AS CONGRESSMAN

Addressing an enthusiastic meet
ing of men and women voters at In
terlaken, Saturday night, Congress-
man T. Frank Appleby reviewed his
record in congress and paid Presi-
dent Harding a glowing tribute for
his leadership.
Congressman Appleby mentioned
the passage of the budget act as one
of the worthwhile achievements of
the present congress. He claimed
this measure would have been enact
ed by the previous congress had it
not been for President Wilson's veto.
He praised President Harding and
Secretary of State Hughes for call
ing the conference for the limitation
of armament and said the four-pow-
er treaty and the ten year naval hol-
iday were the direct result of this
gathering of statesmen and diplo-
mats.
According to the speaker the ma
ton faced a debt of $24, 600, 900 900
at the close OF the World War as
against a debt Of only 50, 500, 100000
after the Civil War. Mr.. Appleby
said: $11, 000, 900, 900 is owed to US by
the allied nations, and President
Harding has wisely selected a COM
mission consisting of Secretary Mel
lon of the Treasury, United States
Senator Reed Smoot and Congress
man Theodore Burton to arrange for
the acknowledgment of this huge
debt and to have both the interest
and the principal paid. Strange as
it may sound this money was pass
ed over to the allies without even a
note as an endorsement"
The congressman declared the tar
iff bill was passed for the best in
terest of the American people, and
~emphatically denied that sugar
would show an increase in price as a
result of the new schedule. Only a
few days ago I went into a chain
grocery store in South Amboy," he
| said, land was told by the manager
that sugar had dropped one-half of a
cent a pound since the Republican
tariff measure was made a law over
a month ago."
Reviewing his own record the
congressman spoke of his measure to
protect the Jersey coast resorts
against the menace of oil pollution:
his bill to provide for a national
motion picture censorship a mea-
sure he introduced to cur federal
aid in the construction of %jetties; his
successful endeavor to have holders
of building and 1oan shares exempt
$500 on matured stock in the new
revenue bill, and of a plan to simp-
lily the income tax law by a gross tax
on incomes under scientific classif1-
cation.
