on appropriation demanding that the
pay of these various employees be
raised without ever attempting to
clarity their minds of the hallucination
that the government owed billions OF
dollars and the first endeavor Of cit
izen should be to pay his debts, and
then when the debts shall have been
paid, find a reason to make a surplus,
that when an emergency shall arise
the treasury Of the United States will
have intact sufficient monies to meet
the demands. Therefore hope | have
made it clear that the functions of the
appropriation committee and the most
vital committee in the House Of Con-
gress from the fact that according to
the Constitution all appropriations
emanate in the House, and therefore
the burden OF the existence Of the
government rests in the most careful
economic detail of the work of said
committee
You rarely see a members name in
the Congressional Record discussing
any other proposition than the eco
nomic proportions of the government,
but out of the ordinary, Congressman
Martin B. Madden, Chairman of this
committee rose in the House Of Rep
resentatives on January 18th to answer
the dastardly attack made on an I'M
holy page out Of chaotic mind Of a
man who claims to be named General
Robert Lee Billiard, who BY some I'M
just reasoning attacked some time past
the 92nd Division in the Worlds War
This division fought on the battlehelds
of France under the commanding
leadership Of General Mangin, the
French General who left record such
as no other commanding officer has
ever left in the army, he never gave
an order to retreat and unfortunately
for the men Of the o2nd Division,
Mangin's unwritten reply to the valor
Of the Negro soldiers was cut off by
death but yesterday, Congressman
Madden sought as, clearly as he could
to pick up the bludgeon and relight the
torch thrown from a dying soldier,
and rose in his seat in the House Of
representatives and hurled back a de-
Tense which made men think and those
who read in history Of January 18th
will mark it as a defense day for the
sleeping soldier beneath the fields of
peoples in France and the manned in
hospitals and homes throughout the
world. AT this point l quote the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1T is pity that great commander
would take the time in his history of
the war to occupy the space to be-
little men Of any race who gave them
selves freely to their country in de-
Tense Of its flag. Congressman Mad
den said in the course OF his remarks,
as a commander, it is his duty to see
that these men, and all other men I'M
der his charge were properly COM
manded, properly treated without
discrimination and encouraged in every
way possible to do their duty as sol
diers. If he failed to do this as a
soldier, he should have not availed
himself of the privilege of traducing
the soldiers of his command when he
came to write the history of their serv-
ice"
Later on there are few other things
in the way Of certain secret informa
ton which we will furnish to Mr.. Mad
den which will uncover things as
wicked as the outspoken Billiard was
cowardly enough to make. Knowing
him as we do and the constituency
which he represents, we are more than
satisfied that the worlds civilization
will be astounded at its revelation.
To you, Congressman Madden, The
Broad AK and its many readers extend
their gratitude for the justifable de-
tense Of the o2nd Division.
