WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 -
(R-Senate Democratic Leader
Barley of Kentucky called on
the New Congress today TO bury
factional differences in a har-
monious support of the war eff
fort which would leave the coun-
try united when the time comes
to write the peace.
Republican minorities will
climb to the highest point in
years with the converting Of the
new session on Jan. 6, but
Barley expressed confidence
that would make no difference
toawrd prosecuting the war.
While he conceded it was diff
ficult to say that any political
organization or group would not
be politically minded or have its
eye on the presidential year of
1914, he hoped and believed that
1t would be possible for the
Democrats, Republicans n d
others to work more closely than
ever in these critical times.
1.-THE closer we come to vic
tory and the Installation of the
kind of peace we all hope for"
he told reporters, "the more es-
sential it is to have a united
country"
No one could forecast when
peace would come, he added, but
none could escape projecting his
mind into the future in contem-
plation of that event.

Urge Harmonious Support
Of Nations War Effort
BerkIey Coils on COP. Minority
to Work Closely with Demos

at is very important that the
country be prepared in every way
it can to write just peace and
to organize world opinion for
the attempt which must be made
TO provide both peace and post
war conditions that will make
another such conflict as this i'm
possible" he said.
He declared that members of
Congress could help in this, as
we'll as in prosecution of the
war, by "being Americans be-
fore they are Democrats or Re-
publicans."
Il don't believe that any men,
Der or any group can afford to
take any other view" he said,
land l don't see in the coming
Congress any effort to retard the
completion of everything that is
necessary to win the war as
completely and as promptly as
possible"
This did not mean, Barkley
went on, that Congress should
not scrutini7c closely requests
for all appropriations and keep a
tab on expenditures, especially
those for non-war purposes.
He conceded that many vex-
ing questions were likely to
arise over such controversial is
sues as farm price ceilings, ra-
tioning and various government
controls.
