The regular meeting of the

The usual routine of business
was followed and at this time
two new members were well
coined into the organization.
Among the discussions of diff
ferent programs that the club has
been invited to present was one
C concerning the fall concert.
This will be an outstanding event
and will require a number oil

Recess

The house on last Saturday re.
cessed until October 9th, or foi
a period of approximately clever
weeks. This will have been THE
longest recess of that body since
the war began. The senate will
remain in session until IL dispos-
es of the Peace Charter. How
ever, TO all intents and purposes
the Senate might Just as well
have adjourned along with the
House so far as the outcome of
the Charter is concerned No one
in official Washington even rails
es a suggestion Of a question
about the outcome. II is genef-
ally conceded that there will be
less than a half dozen votes
against the measure.
Most of the 435 members Of
the House have left Washington.
Some OF them will return for
Committee hearings during the
recess, others will conduct hear
ings in various parts of the coun-
try, and some members have
gone Dr. arc preparing to 60
abroad, either officially as menu
bers Of a committee, or unoffi-
cially to get a first-hand view of
the conditions that exist in that
distraught and upset part of the
world. Or the whole, however,
the general impression is that
they were all glad to get out Of
Washington.
And in that connection, and in
line with the policy heretofore
followed in the ten years that we
have written this column we will
suspend ii until after the Con-
gress has reconvened in October.
Postwar Committee Study
1t will be recalled that more
than a year ago the House set
up a Select Committee to study
postwar problems-to prevent, if
possible, a repetition of the eco
nomic ills which were visited up
on the country as a result of
World War |. We had the honor
of being selected chairman of
that committee of en- Democrats
and eight Republicans. The COM
mittee selected a staff and pro-
ceeded to study these problems.
1t heard the testimony of out
standing leaders in the country in
the fields of agriculture, indus
try and labor. In fact, the COM
mittee has had the benefit of
the thinking of some of the best
minds in the county. AS a re-
suit of those hearings and studies
it has made seven reports to the
Congress and the country to date
dealing with various questions
which will confront the economy
of the nation in the postwar pc
Rod.
Since science has so shortened
distances in travel, communica-
tons, warfare, trade and inter-
national commerce, it is gener-
ally agreed that the problems of
