Sees Advocates OF Economy
Joining Forces in Next Congress

that Republican and Democratic
advocates of economy in govern

bat waste and bureaucracy"
With Republicans elected TO

have a powerful voice in Legis-
lative affairs and already are
counting on Democratic. support.
in some issues.
1.-THE Republican party in the
next session of Congress, will
join with those Democrats who
desire to eliminate wastefulness
in government expenditures,
practise economy in the admin
istration of public AFFAIRS, and
avoid unnecessary controls and
bureaucracy" McNary declared
in an interview.
1T will support fervently and
faithfully the prosecution of the
war, to the end that we may
have a complete victory with
minimum expenditure of men
and money"
The 1910 vice-presidential
nominee, who seldom talks for
publication when off the Senate
floor, spoke freely as he out
lined his general goals for the
coming session.
Discussions of peace are mot
with pertinence" even now, he
declared.
"Debatable and important
questions can be clarified by de-
bate" he said. "Of course no ap-
plication can be made Of any
pattern that is agreed upon, un-
til after the war is won.
1.-THE Republican party realiz-
es the responsibility of our
country in the matter of negotia-
ton and settlement Of just
terms of peace and the future
maintenance Of peace and Sc
curity.
"We will be found advocating
those principles that are essen-
tial to sustaining the ho:ne and
hearthstone, the American mar
ket, the American standard Of
living.
However, the party will ad-
vocate leadership in world af-
fairs for its country, associated
with and in cooperation with
other countries and in a spirit
of generosity, without scatter
ing the nations resources waste
fully throughout the world"
McNary strobe the length OF
his green-carpeted office stared
out a tall window at the .wintry'
sky, and fiddled with his red
bow necktie. :.
THE effectiveness of ourswar
effort is not to be measured
alone by the number of enlisted
men," he declared. There are
other factors of equal import
ance, such as sufficient man
power on the farms and in the
factories of our country. Bal.
