Women Hear ak
By Gretchen Smith

A warning that the present setup
in Congress is an actual threat to
representative democracy was sound
ed by Representative Monroney,
Democrat, of Oklahoma yesterday
before the Women's National Demo-
cratic Club.
Guest of honor at luncheon, the
speaker declared reorganization of
Congress 'transcends such pressing
postwar problems as reconversion,
tax reduction, foreign loans, surplus
disposals, Pacific bases. universal
service and the atom bomb"
Representative Monroney COM
pared the present organization of
Congress and its ability to handle
the Nations affairs to trying to
move battleship with a jeep-or
rather a model T Ford"
Declaring that "our equipment and
is as obsolete as Span
ish-American War equipment would
be for today's armies" he said Its
both on domestic and
on a world basis that we make
democracy work. Few realize that
the line of democracy, If Congress
is impotent, is stretched to a hair
line thinness."
The Oklahoma Representative, in
recalling that the parliaments of
the European continent had disin-
tegrated as effective forces of gov
ernment before they we're eliminated
by dictators, added, IF our present
system of representative democracy
here fails, it will be because we re-
fused to equip it to meet the chal-
lenge of today's problems.
1T is not a question of having
a strong President and a weak Con-
gress or a weak President and a
strong Congress" he concluded. THE
problems of democracy today de-
mand that we have strong Presi-
dent and a strong Congress. They
go together"
