Sixty-Eighth Congress May Be Lively

WASHINGTON.— Republican progressives who will sit In the next house of rej*-res«-ntattvrs are organizing an Insurgent movement to be unleashed the moment tha gavel falls next December, 'the insurgency will be directed at preventing the election I of the speaker of the house and house organization until assurances are given that certain committees will be "unpacked” and the progressive legislation program heeded. Thirty-eight members are pledged to the movement, which Is being led by Representative John M. Nelson (Rep., Wls.), leader of the so-called La Follette group, and Representative Roy Woodruff (Rep., Mich.). Representative Nelson made public a letter written by himself and Representative Woodruff, as spokesmen for "the progressive Republican conference,’’ which has been sent to all newly elected Republican members of the house, demanding revision of the house rules and the "unpacking" of , committees which It is charged are stacked against progressive legislation. A tentative program of legislation prepared for circuition among all Re- - publican representatives contem-

Madden on Public Building Program

UNTIL the present building boom in Hie country has come to a close the United States government should not enter upon a public building construction program, in the opinion of Representative Martin B. Madden (Rep., Ill.), chairman of the house committee on appropriations. Representative Madden Ims come to this conclusion after a thorough investigation into the building situation and with a view to the federal government taking a lead in arranging its public works in order to afford employment in periods of depression. Pending the end of the present home building activity the Ulionis congressman would have an exhaustive survey of government building requirements made throughout the country, and a program drawn up which, under no circumstances, should Include any building anywhere not Justified by the business of the government. “The wisdom of this policy,” Mr. Madden said today, “must be apparent to any one who gives the matter serious consideration. “it would prevent competition with the home builders which such a program entered upon at tills time would entail. “It would give the government the buildings needed at a more moderate cost. “It would find emp’iyment for those

Army Air Service Is “Most Critical”

THE situation in the army air service is “most critical” with its war surplus of equipment “rapidly disappearing” and war-time aeronautical industry “facing extinction,” Representative-Elect J. Mayhew Wainwright, Republican, of New York, former assistant secretary of war, declares in a partial report to Secretary Weeks on turning over his office to his successor, Dwight F. Davis. Under the national defense act, the assistant secretary is charged witli responsibility for planning industrial mobilization of the nation for war. The outstanding conclusion of Mr. Wainwright’s two-year study of the industrial situation was a recommendation for a continuing aircraft appropriation over five years at $25,000,00*) a year, $15,000,000 to be for procurement of reserve planes and $10,000,000 annually for current operations. Referring to the present situation of the air service, Mr. Wainwright said: “What there is left of it is rapidly disappearing, due to deterioration and to the losses while in actual use. Its war-time manufactured equipment has been practically used up. The amounts of money appropriated for

Loans to Finance Agriculture in 1923

Loans of from $400,000,000 to $500,000,000 should be furnished by the War Finance corporation this year to assist In financing agriculture, according to Senator Capper (Bep., Kan.), head of the senate farm bloc, who with other members of | the senate and house has held conferences with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and jvifti members of the farm loan board. The group of agricultural members, who are taking steps to see that agriculture gets sufficient credit while the machinery established under the new law is being put into operation, have ‘ also conferred with directors of the War Finance corporation. “The farm situation is more acute than last year because the co-opera-tive associations are carrying a heavier burden of debt than a year ago,” Senator Capper said. “We think the War Finance corporation j should make all the good loans it can through the co-operative associations, j Most of the loans made last year have I been paid off. but they were paid off ! at the end of the crop season and

plates new law* relating to tranipor tatlon, taxes, farm credit*, preglden tial and congressional primaries, co operative associations, prevention oi war, soldiers’ compensation and "pro tectlon of the public interests” In coal timber, water power and other nut urul resources. "it Is the purpose of the progressive Republicans In forming the organlza tlon to relieve the house of the tyrant)) of the floor leaders," Representative Nelson said. “As the country knows legislation In the house is coatroilet by the floor leader and the speaker with the co-operation of the commlttei on rules. “Our tight will not le directed against conservatives or anybody else it Is not our purpose to disrupt tin party, but we do Intend to put progres slve Ideas to the front. "The balance of power in the tw< houses of congress is in the hands 01 the progressives. We are not oppose* to the President. We believe that lit will agree to our program. "While we look upon Speaker Gil lett as a conservative, we regard hln as a fair and courteous presiding ofli cer. There Is no hostility to UL>u personally.”

engaged in the building Industry at a time when employ ment is most needed and create a stabilizing Influence on the labor market. "A building program entered upon under such conditions would not only find employment for those directly engaged in the building trades but would also benefit kindred Industries. It would aid the railroads by giving them additional transportation, aid the mines and give the miners employment. It would enlarge the opportunities for employment in the lumber Industry, in the stone quarries, and In the brick yards, and all industries into which the building trades ramify; and thus the government in periods of de pression might act as a useful agency to prevent the unemployment which periodically exists throughout the country. “The government also might enter upon a more active road building program during such pe.-iods.” Representative Madden has been giving the subject of government construction thought for many months. In general he thinks that omnibus building legislation should never lie enacted by congress until some responsible government agency has ascertained all the facts concerning the necessity for it and only such buildings should be authorized as a survey shows to be essential for tire transaction of the government business.

new aircraft are so small that within two years it will have on hand less than one-half the number of aircraft necessary for its normal peace-time work. “There will be no aircraft to equip and expand the air service in time of emergency, no reserve on hand and it will be impossible in less than a year to expand the remnant of the aircraft industry which may be left or to create it anew so this material can be manufactured in sufficient quantity for use in such an emergency. “The situation is not only serious, but is actually alarming. As an economic measure and likewise In the interest of national preparedness, the aeronautical Industry in this country should be maintained in such condition that it can supply our peacetime needs and be prepared to expand adequately to meet a war-time demand.” Mr. Wainwright said the air service should be large enough to meet instantly “any air force which an enemy might bring against us.’ The role which the air service will play in national defense, be added, should be thoroughly understood, "and this component of the army should be Increased to its proper strength.”

when the cattle were marketed. The demand has already started anew. It Is my belief that between $400,000,000 and $500,000,000 should be loaned this season.” Those who accompanied Senator Capper Included Senators Gooding (Rep., Idaho) and Sheppard (Dem., Tex.), and Representatives Haugen (Rep., la.), Davis (Rep., Minn.), Sinclair (Rep., N. D.), and Huddleston (Dem., Ala.). Following the conference with Secretary Wallace, the delegation visited the farm loan board, where a conference with the presidents of the 12 federal land banks was In progress. Charles E. Lobdell, head of the farm loan board, Informed the senators and representatives that the new intermediate credit ba_nks would be organized without delay, and that everything possible was being done so that the farmers of the country will get the full benefit of the legislation. Under the new plans it Is expected that the Intermediate credit banks will be in working order before the beginning of the summer.
