 Washington, D, C., March 19.-The record of achievement of the two years of the republican administra- tion is one which has never been rivaled by ally national administra- tion within an equal period of time according to Representative John c, T'ilson. of Connecticut
 The full extent of the accomplish ments of this administration, declares Mir. Tilson, can only be appreciated by a compa rison with the conditions prevailing at the end of the demo- cratic control.
 Started With Handicaps At that time. he says, our interna- tional affairs were in n deplorable condition. Choas and confusion reigned in domestic affairs. The na- tional debt had grown from less than one billion to twenty-four billion dol lars.
 "A vast merchant fleet had been built. but many of the ships were worthless said Mir. Tilson. Many of these ships had been built after the armistice because there was no cancellation clause in the contracts for their construction. Tine cost of our shipping program amounted to over three billion dollars and we had to show for it assets then conserva- lively estimated at worth less than $500, 100000, with claims against the government amounting to S200,000,- 900 growing out of our shipbuilding venture.
