Inouisition.

Picking flaws In the Republican
. administration at Washington is to
be the chief indoor sport of the Dem
ocrats at the coming session of Con
gress, it is frankly admitted by Dem
ocratic leaders who have returned to
the Capitol. There is reason for
1t. In 1926 a new House and one
third Of the Senate membership are
to be elected. The Democrats are
anxious to develop issues upon
which to make the campaign next
year. The congressional investiga-
ton route. 1t is expected, will be re-
sorted to by the Democrats, provided
they can prevail upon either house
or both to order the Investigations
they ask.
The country wants and should have
honest and efficient government. If
there are defects they should be run
down and corrected. The executive
branch of the Government itself has
a powerful agency, the Department
of Justice, whose duty 1t is when ir-
see that they are corrected and that
punishment, if warranted, is meted out
This department is operating in just
such a way, as indicated by recent
indictments in connection with the
former administration of the alien
property custodian's office. 1t is the
duly constituted agency to clean and
to keep clean the house of Govern
mont
Government by investigation has
an unpleasant sound to American
ears. 1t smacks too much of impe-
rialistic systems. 1t contains a sug-
gestion of spies and Of tale bearing.
Men are held up to the public as
guilty of charges before they have
been proven guilty. For the sake
of the Democratic party itself, the
hope may be expressed that 1t will
not seek to establish an inquisition,
a smelling-out system. even for the
sake Of deriving some possible polit-
ical capital. Fishing expeditions
by congressional committees where
no real cause for suspicion exists
are harmful to the cause Of good
government and expensive to the
taxpayers. 1t is rarely that the costs
Of congressional investigating COM
mittees and commissions are made
public, but they run into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars fire.
quently within a fiscal year.
Investigations by Congress to de.
termine the necessity of proposed
legislation is the ordinary work of
the standing committees and even of
special committees of Congress. But
when Congress turns aside from its
legislative work to become an In
quisitor Of the executive branch of
the Government, there should be very
good cause. Congress has taken such
course in the past with beneficial
results to the country. But some
of these excursions have been with
out result and originated merely in
a desire to get something" on the
administration in power. Nor have
these fishing expeditions been con.
nned to only one of the political par
ties in Congress-
If there are crooks in the Govern
ment, they should be run down and
punished. On the other hand. to
attempt to prove an official of the
Government crook merely for the
purpose of partisan political advan-
tage in itself is a crooked piece of
work.

WRONG To RENT
GARAGE FROM
HIS WIFE
Mccarl Refuses to Pay Bill Of
U. S. EmpIoye for Such
Expense

The renting Of dog sleds, auto
mobiles or office quarters by Gov
eminent employees from members
Of their family or from other Gov
eminent employees is frowned upon
by Comptroller General McCarl. The
same rule applies to the renting OF
a garage to keep a Government.
owned automobile in, he ruled.
The decision was handed down
today in the case of Ray Bisch, an
employee Of the Department Of Agri.
culture in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr..
Risch rented his wite's garage for
81 a month to keep Government
automobile in. Her voucher for the
81 was turned down by the comp
troller. despite the fact that there
is no public garage in the neigh.
borhood available.
Bisch Is employed as an inspector
OF railroad cars containing food
products, making it necessary for
him to make inspections at all
hours OF the night, as well az
on Sundays and holidays, depend.
ing on what time the cars reach
Cleveland. In order TO have his
automobile available ut any time,
he rented garage owned by his
wife for 81 month.
Such renting creates an unde.
sirable situation, subjecting the
transaction to criticism" Mr.. Nc
Carl ruled. THE general rule that

employees from members of their

sakiatvaIa Does Not Believe
U. S. Will Dare to Bar Him
Out As Undesirable
By HARRY r. FLoRY


LONDON, Aug. 25.-Sir Robert
Horne and Mr.. Shapurji Saklat-
vaIa, two members Of parliament
Of widely different political
beliefs, will usurp the. imelight
cast upon the British delegation
to the International Parliamentary
Union Conference in Washington
in October.
Sir Robert is a noted financier
and q conservative. During his
career he has held three different
cabinet posts: Minister of Labor,
president Of the Board of Trade
and Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Had his business interests not
prevented him from accepting he
would probably be q member OF
the present Baldwin cabinet.
Red and Proud Of it
SakaItvaIa is an out-and-out
Communist and proud of it. He
lsthe only Communist member Of
the present House Of Commons.
Born in Bombay. he came to Eng
land in 1905, and joined the Inde-
pendent Labor party.
Later he broke away from labor's
ranks when the Independent Labor
party refused to follow his lead and
affiliated with the British Com
munist party.
Together with one or two Scot
fish labor members, Saklatvala has
supplied much Of the verbal fire.
works which has been shot off dur
ing this session of the House.
Never afraid to voice his opinion,
some Of his recent public utter.
ances are as follows:
rLet us abolish the Union Jack.
'-rhe Union Jack is the symbol
Of enslayed labor all over the
world.
Denounces the Empire
.pThe British Empire is made up
Of the aristocracy and cunning
dirty dogs Of Great Britain, who
win assail any ones country any
time.
1.-The British ParIiament's chief
function is to maintain intact that
empire and to retain all the stolen
property and keep under bondage
all the bullied nations.
Your partnership In the empire
e partnership in the guilt OF rob-
''T11e empire is a trap Of degra.
dalton and dishonUr for all British
workers.
II am a man with a great affec-
ton, regard and esteem for Lenin."
Fears that because Of his frank
Communistic beliefs he might not
be allowed to land In the United
States have been dismissed by SAX
fatvala as groundless.
Doesn't Doubt Admission
''I do not for a moment expect
that the United States Government
win be so churIish az to interfere"
he declared.
In addition to Sir Robert Horne
and Saklatvala, there will be no
outstanding personalities in the
British delegation, which viii be
composed Of forty-one present and
former members of Parliament.
Criticism Of the makeup of the
delegation has been voiced by u
section of the press, chiefly that
section controlled by Lord Beaver
brook. Since it is composed only
Of those persons who volunteer and
who agree to pay expenses OF their
ocean trip, the criticism has not re.
suited in any alteration in the dele
cations composition.
