Congress
Confident
Ststesmanship Seen
in 10Th Session
BY FULTON LEWIS JR.
Copyright. Is45. By King Features

WASHINGTON. Jan. 13-The
new 18th Congress, which began
It's life less than two weeks ago,
Is beginning TO show an early
strength and confidence which
may land il in a prominent spot
in the history of American con-
crosses.
In the comparatively few days
that the 18th Congress has been
IN existence, it already has moved
heavily into the big. time. II
plunged into the proposed new
az work or-fight" law with "a
courage and confidence that
makes IL look good for the legisla-
tive job which lies ahead during
the next two years.
Speculation here as TO just how
this new Congress is going to
measure up is prompted by a lot
more than idle curiosity as TO
where il finally will land in the
records OF American history. The
shape of things to come for the
next generation may be deter
mined very largely by what this
Congress does in the way OF post
war programs

LEAST RESISTANCE

The Congress could follow the
line o. of the least resistance and
decide these problems the way
the President and the other ad-
rninistration leaders believe they
should be decided. Many OF the
decisions made in that way might
be good.
But il Congress follows that
procedure. II certainly will not be
carrying out the principles OF rep
resentative government.
The only way that members OF
Congress can make their de-
cisions properly is 10 be fully in
formed on every issue that comes
before them. They must under
stand the ms and the outs Of
every proposal and most Of all.
they must understand how these
proposals would affect the particu-
lar people who elected them TO
their seats in Congress.
DECIDING OF ISSUES
If they make their decisions on
that basis, and then cast their
votes in the best interests of their
constituents. then they have acted
IN accordance with good represen-
tative government. The individual
decisions of some OF the members
might be wrong, so far as the ma
ton as a whole is concerned. But
ST every member Of Congress
operates on the same principle,
And decides issues in the way his
particular constituents want them
decided. Congress won't make
many mistakes.
Furthermore, that is representa-
tive government. and representa-
tive government is the backbone
Of the entire American system and
society and standard of living.
Under the present system. the
detailed work Of investigating
proposed legislation is left up 10
specialized committees. But even
then, the committees are forced
10 rely for most OF their informa-
ton on the officials OF the ad-
ministration-
