Mccormick Recalls
Wilson, S Appeal for
Friendly Congress
Party Chairman in 1918
Sees Parallel Move
In FIynn's Recent Plea
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 21.-The
story of a futile attempt to tone
down President Wilson's appeal for
a friendly Congress during the first
World War was recounted publicly
today for the first time.
1t was recalled by Vance c. Nc
Cormick, 69-year-old Harrisburg
newspaper publisher, who was then
national Democratic chairman. He
said the political interest evoked by
the recent appeal of Edward Flynn,
the present party chairman. for a
Democratic Congress to back Presi-
dent Roosevelt's war policies,
prompted its telling.
Flynn recently stated that "in ne
gotiating a final peace We have not
forgotten the obstacles thrown in
the path of President Wilson after
the first World War, and the ulti-
mate victims were the people"
Mccormick said that in 1918
Wilson's congressional opponents
were telling their constituents the
President had said "'politics was
adjourned during the war and it
didn't make any difference to him
whether Republicans or Democrats
were elected.
The National Democratic Commit
tee suggested something should be
done to counteract this and urged
the President to write letter to the
voters.
The first draft was filled with
bitterness over the unfair attacks
made on him in the Senate" and
Mccormick prevailed upon the dele
ton of references to personalities.
But Wilson would go no further.
He said Wilson had "Such conf
dence in the rank and file of our
people and their sense of fairness
that he could not be made to see
that in this instance the politicians
would manage to. have the people
misconstrue the meaning of the
Presidents letter"
Mccormick, knowing as I did
that the President even at that time
was looking into the future and pre-
pairing for the great peace and re.
construction problems" said he him.
self felt it was unfortunate" that
there should be any doubt as to the
Presidents true meaning.
Subsequent events have proved
that the President was right in his
desire for a friendly and cooperative
Senate and House because ever since
the Versailles treaty, the world has
been heading toward the brink oi
destruction where 1t now hangs
thanks to part or entirely to the
action of an unsympathetic and bit.

when he implied that the veteran
legislator held views similar to those
expressed in book on the Nazi

The thronged courtroom was elec-
trified when the towering New

the prosecutor.
Mr.. Fish, who had admitted on
direct examination that he had
known Viereck for many years, and
had added that he knew him only
as IAN American citizen of long and
good standing" was asked If he had
read a book which the accused pub

Mr.. Fish said he never read the
book.
Isn't 1t a coincidence" asked Mr.
Maloney, that the views on Nazi
propaganda expressed in that book
are similar to those you have held
as Congressman"
Mr.. Fish, leaning forward in the
witness chair, retorted hotly:

Are you referring to Mr..
Viereck?" inquired the prosecutor
II am referring to you" Mr.. Fish
shot back.
Then, turning to Justice Let's, MIR.
Fish asked:
Hasn't a man any rights in this
court? Does he have to be insulted.
II think the American people
have been insulted," Mr.. Maloney
interposed as Justice Let's, in a
quiet voice, told the witness he
might make any statement he chose
Not Sent Over His Frank.
Mr.. Fish then turned back toward
the Jury and the counsel table and
exclaimed:
"I suspected that sooner or later
this Assistant Attorney General
would make a statement of that
kind. I've been in Congress "a years
and not one piece of Nazi propa-
ganda ever has gone out of my Of
fee with my knowledge or consent.
Referring to a speech by the late
Senator Lundeen, which Mr.. Fish's
former clerk, Hill, testified yester-
day he mailed out by direction OF
Mr.. Fish and Viereck, the witness
said:
That speech Of Senator Lun.

saw it. I had no connection with
Mr.. Viereck except to know him al
an American citizen. I did not know
he was registered as a German
agent. Ny acquaintance with him
was exactly the same as my &C
quaintance with Franklin Delanc
Roosevelt"
Prosecutor Maloney jumped to his
feet and said:
That is a public insult to great
American"
Justice Let's told the attorneys tc
proceed with the questioning and
Mr.. Maloney asked:

ganda if you saw it?"
NO." Mr.. Fish shouted. 81

Henderson Says Rise
In Most Farm Prices

IS Billion in Income
With No Place to Go
During 1912 Seen
3y the Associated Press.

BY the AkSoclaeo Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 2l.-
Price Administrator Henderson told
the Nations farmers today thai
"an advance In most farm prices
would be illusory" because Of the
danger of imitation.
THE plain arithmetic is that al
one group Of prices advances. the
cost of living increases and other
prices 60 up," he said in an address
before the National Farm Institute
"It is merely changing price tags
without benefit to any consumer
and with grave threats Of disaster
To the country as a whole.
II say to you deliberately that
further increases in the purchasing
power of agriculture cannot benefit
agriculture as a whole (unless used
for debt reduction) because the
supply of commodities the farmer
buys cannot be increased to match
hlgner 1arm prices.
Says Labor Can't Take Cut.
In general, he said the same rea-
soning applied to the wages of labor
although he added that groups
whose standard of living now il
only at a subsistence level obvious.
ly cannot take a cut without i'm
pairing health or efficiency.
The principle of adjusting wages
to the cost of living should, in my
opinion, be limited to those workers
who are really on a substandard
level"
1T is going to be a smaller piece
Of pie" he quipped, land 1t Is our
Job to see to it that the cuts in
the pieces come where they cen
do the least harm to our national
strength and our national morale.
Last year, Mr.. Henderson said
the output of consumers goods and
services totaled $74.000, ,000, 900 with
income payments of $4,000, 900 900
In 1912, he said, output of such goods
and services will be cut to $685.

Even with new taxes and savings
the price administrator predicted

of national income this year rat.
tling around with no place to go II
we let it alone. Our price ceilings
can't effect it; monetary, fiscal ano
wage policies won't do the job alone
1t will require, in my judgment, the
voluntary discipline of q free people
to hold the line, self-imposed re.
straints to forestall disastrous con.
sequences"
Mr.. Henderson said that As to 81
per cent of the commodities con-
tanned In the wholesale price inde,
now are under some kind Of forma
or informal price control.
AS for the war itself, he declared
ANY one who doubts that we viii
succeed should be interned for the

1t Is going to be easy should hays

Let us note here that this Is In

two warships every day In this

LET our enemies also note that
they have yet to meet face to face
the full might Of the American

will be over because the Navy Is
going to destroy them"
