THE disposition of Ad-
l. ministration organs to
criticise Congress because it
refuses to be the rubber
stamp of the Executive,
whose repudiation by the
American people brought
this Congress into being, inn
presses us as supreme impu-
dence.
If Congress did not act on
the one-year moratorium by
the fifteenth, it is little bet
ter than insolenee to de-
.nounce Congress on that ac-
count. 1t was not sum-
moned to act on the mora
torium when the President
proposed it. The attitude Of
the debtor nations in the
interval has not been such
as to create American conf
dence in the efficiency Of
that remedy for world de-
preston.
There has been no dispo-
sition to reduce the cost OF
armament among them, and
some of them have mani
tested the keenest glee in
the expression Of their hate
for the American people,
with the gold drain and the
attack on the dollar. Mean
while the European press,
almost without exception,
has been assuring the people
of the debtor nations that
the moratorium means an
understanding with the Ad-
ministration here for the
transfer Of the billions in
debts from the nations that
borrowed the money out of
the pockets of our people,
to the backs of our people,
who made the loan.
There is enough in he
changed situation to justify
Congress in making its posi-
ton plain on this transfer
not cancellation - of the
debts, and to inquire 'nto
the character of the secret
conversations at the White
House on which the Euro
pean press predicates its as.
surance that Americans will
nav the bill.

Surely, Mr.. Beck Has
Not FORGOTTEN.

Well, that is something on
which the American people
will pass; and the American
Congress-which will not be
reduced to an echoing station
of an Executive who has
been repudiated d by the
American people at the polls
will discuss and consider
American interests.
We have always admired
the brilliance of James M.
Beck, the most brilliant Re-
publican in the House; but
when he seeks to create the
impression that the DISPOSE
ton to investigate a foreign
policy which foreign nations
understand to mean the
transfer of billions of debts
of other nations to American
taxpayers, is inspired by
mere partisanship, we must
take issue. -
Are we to understand that
when Mr.. Beck insists that
the Presidents foreign policy
must be accepted without a
peek that the Presidents
party, including Mr.. Beck,
stands for the transfer of the
debts to us?
The brilliant Philadelphia
is the last man in the world
to tell the, Democrats they
must stand by the Presi-
dents foreign policy, what
ever it may be and without
even an inquiry-because he
is the President. 1t has been
such a little while ago that
Mr.. Beck's party refused to
stand for the foreign policy
of a Democratic President
though he, too, was the
American President.
They said it was not par
tisanship then; insisted it
was patriotism; warmly as
serted that they opposed the
President's s foreign policy be-
cause they thought it detri-
|. mental to American inter-
ests, and said it was their
patriotic duty under their
oaths to oppose tin the in
terest of America.
Surely Mr.. Beck has not
forgotten, for he was one of
the most brilliant and con-
spicuous in refu sing to
"stand by the President.
No, we cannot subscribe
to the theory that because
Mr.. Hoover is President we
should blindIy accept his
foreign policies without even
an inquiry into what they
signify. There are many
who feel that these policies
should be carefully scrutin-
lied, since the President
spent the major part of his
mature life under the Union
Jack and out of touch with
American interests or senti-
ment.

Perhaps Congress
Can Do Better

Our form of government,
under our sometimes praised
Constitution, is either right
or wrong. The critics of
Congress cannot eat their
cake and have it too. There
is a large element, confined
mostly to people of large in
terests and the lunatic
fringe of the intelligentsia,
who have no use for our
form of government. They
want to put the "people in
their place." and from some
autocratic eminence impose

Impolite7 What
Impudence!
And yet there is no little
impudence in this; for few
have observed during the
nine months that the Presi-
dent had Congress "off his
hands" that he achieved
greatly in the interest of the
American people. Perhaps
Congress can do better; it
can do no worse.
Some of the more preco-
cious of the critics of Con-
gress are shocked to tears
that we should be "impo-
lite" to the debtor nations.
Impolite! We who spent
$26,645, 100000 on a war that
would have been lost to the
debtor nations otherwise. We
who then took not a cent in
reparations and not an inch
of German territory that the
debtor nations might take it
all. We who have since
scaled the debt down by
billions. Impolite? What
impudence!
Within the last few days
the press of England has
been assuring the English
people that the moratorium
means the transfer of bill
lions in debt from their
shoulders and those of the
other debtor nations to the
backs Of the American tax
PAYERS; and they are man
fully star ding by the Presl-
dent.

Responsibility Rests
On Herbert Hoover

The utter impudence IN the
criticism Of Congress is in
this well-known fact: Three
months ago the President
was urged repeatedly to call
Congress in extra session If
only a month before the
regular session.
It was pointed out at the
time that Congress would be
expected to act on the mora
torium by the fifteenth, and
that, with the time always
required in the mere or
ganization Of a new Con-
gress, this would be practi-
cally impossible. That was
the common-sense view and
there was no common-sense
answer.
But the President is
among those who have little
use for the mechanism OF
government by the people,
or, in other words, for repre-
sentative government in a
democracy; he manifestly
prefers autocracies, beyond
the interference of popular
sentiment; and he is notOri-
ously unhappy always when
he has Congress on his
hands"
Thus he. refused to do his
manifest duty to summon
Congress in extra session to
deal with the one-year mora
torium and with other mat
ters relating to the distress
of millions Of Americans who
are eating the bread of
charity.
If there is a delay in the
one-year moratorium the re-
sponsibility rests on Herbert
Hoover-and on no one else.

To End a Cough
In a Hurry, Mix
This at Home

10 quickly end stubborn coughs due
to colds, it is important to soothe the
infamed membranes, get rid of the
germs and also to aid the system in
wardly to help throw off the trouble.
For these purposes, here is a home
made medicine, far better than anything
you could buy at 3 times the cost. From
any druggist, get 212 ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into pint bottle, and add
plain granulated sugar syrup or strain
ed honey to fill up the pint. This takes
but moment, saves money, and makes
remedy so effective that you will never
do without, once you have used it.
Keeps perfectly, and children like it.
This simple remedy does three neces-
sary things. First, it loosens the germ
laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away
the Inflammation. Third, it is absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. This explains
why it brings snch quick relief, even
in the obstinate coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form, and known as one of
the greatest medicinal agents for severe
coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.
