atives In the matter and for the flrat
time in history left the -President an
absolute unchecked freo hand In

diture are nearing theend of very
thorough- and widespread Inveetlgn
tlona “And when tbelr Investiga-
tion! are completed" said Represen-
tative Edvard E Dentoon of Illinois
In aa exhaustive presentation to tbe
Hones of the facts eo far aa learned
“and the results are fully disclosed
to the American people there will be
political If not m actual revolution
There has been an orgy of waste ex
trevagance of dlsbonestyof fraud in
disbursement of these billion taken
by taxes and borrowed from tha peo-
ple that not only surpasses everything
ever recorded to connection with any
government but exceeds tbe wildest
imagination'
Boiled down the statement of pro-
ven expenditure made by Represen-
tative Dentoon were as follows:
1 Tha Treasury Department re-
ports that It paid out between April
1 1917 and February 21 1929 on
rant of the various executive 'de-
partments tbe sum of 3(91t9009O4
When from this amount la token the
normal cost of conducting tbe govern-
ment (eighty-three and one-third mil-
lion doUer a month) tbe war coat to
date has been approximately 934900
000090
2 Bo far a made reports of chair-
men of investigating committees
shown that of the $19000 000000 ex
pended hr the War Department alone
practically 99000000000 has been
waisted lost or spent on projects that
were foolish are wholly useless now
and were totally ineffective in prote-
cutlng the war
9 There was spent at Charleston
Norfolk Boston and other places 1150-
000000 for port terminals from wlil h
no ship (luring the war ever sailed
4 A' port terminal was begun In a
bog and swamp ten mile un the river
from Charleston and after $20000000
had been spent In construction it was
found that ship could not reach the
terminal unlit the river had been dred-
ged for the purpose
5 For nitrate plants $1 ’0001
was spent in a visionary nclierne afiil
not a pound of nitrate was produced
Practically $100000000 of this aum
was sunk at Muscle Shoals Alabama
and the War Department now asks
additional millions to turn t'' abor-
ovmrrx $(78 000009 We only uc-n bfha!f of Poland Wan?fi of tlliv

and inefficiency of the War Depart-
ment -The tame la tree to some extent of
Navy eatobllshment
The War and Navy Department to-
gether spent within a radius of 2S
mile of Norfolk Va $250000000 for
the construction of cantonmenteware-
houses and training atatloni where It
has been found Impossible to get a
supply of water eafflcient to meet

Tho comment In Republican Uon-
rregsional circlet I that Lloyd
George makes no mention of the fight
being waged for Irish Independence
which the Republican House at tbe
last session sympathized with by res-
olution aor does be make the slight-
est reference to the efforts being
made In India to gain Independence
from tbe British crown The Soviet
government has been threatening to
Invade Persia and take tbe gateways

Tbe people said Repreaentotlv g cause for eendlnx the youth of
America to fight on foreign aoll aa to
Polish Independence
It le recalled in thla connection that
President Wilson announced that what
the American armies fought for In Eu-
rope waa hla fourteen points Includ-
ing freedom of the sens and aelf-de-termination
of all people He made
no mention of Irtoh Independence at
Versailles but wna especially inter
ested to Polish freedom Lloyd
George nays: Hto sentiments have
not changed aa Indicated by the note
ent to Secretary Colgy at hla request
He himself to tbe anther of Article X
That Governor Cox baa the same view
ot the problem may be gathered from
hia own words: “What be prom
ised I shall If elected endeavor with
all my strength to give"
Dentoon “may aa well understand who
to responsible for the awful revela-
tions which these Investigations are
disclosing Gentlemen from North
Carolina and Tennessee aay there Is
aa attempt being made to discredit
the President It will not work
“The facte and figures ahow that the
waste and Ineffective Investments of
snob a considerable part ot the $34
000000000 war expenditures has been
due largely to the autocratic and dic-
tatorial encroaohment by -the Preel-
dept en tbe oonitltutkmal prirUegee of
Congress and the -eervlle submission
of the Democratic majority to the
House which together p reran ted the
appointment of a Joint committee to
supervise war expenditures thereby
opposing and ending aay action being
taken at the beglnntag to prevent or
at least leeeen the probability of auch
waste'
The determination of tbe South con-
trolled by the Democratic party to
prevent ratification was seen In thn
fight for the amendment to Tennessee
There it passed only after a hard
fight In both houses and after a re-
publican In the lower house had
rhauged hia vote from tbe negative to
the affirmative hereby giving the
necessary majority This waa a de-
cided difference from the bunch ot
Democratic opponents beat it to Ala-
bama to prevent a quorum
The women of the country wrthoht
regard to race or color are certain ot
getting the right to the suffrage as
the the act of that republican from the
Tenneaaee mountains who In ex
plianing hla change ot vote said It waa
due to the request ot hto mother -- — -As
soon aa the states ot Vermont
and Connecticut meet there will be
two more Republican states that will
also voe for ratification Both would
have been called into extraordinary
session had it not been for certlan
provisions of law that it made it
doubtful whether It would have stood
the test of law had It been questioned
Republican leaders ad another indi-
cation of their Interest in the welfare
of the women point to tbe fact that It
was the Republican majority in Con-
gress that put through the measure
making permanent the Woman’ Bu-
reau In the Department ot Labor
This bureau Investigates the condi-
tions and wages of employment of wo-
man In Industry to the United State
and has provided the basis for future
legislation for betterment
Senator Harding supported thla
measure Just aa ha has supported the
suffrage amendment when bis vote
waa needed to thf Senate He did
everything to hla power to urge the
amendment upon the Tennessee to-
tona While Cox also urged the same
action the women at national suf-
frage headquarter here declare that
the Democratic legislature failed to
Tennessee and ttr the whole record
to the suffrage fl :hl 1-- been made
