DAWN OF PEACE FINDS CONGRESS A MYSTIC MUDDLE Food Administration Crum bling And War Labor Board On The Shelf PRICE CONTROL HAS ALMOST VANISHED War Cost U. S. $20,600,000, And Taxation Is Now A Problem (By J. E. Jones.) Washington, Dec. 24, 1918. Congress :.pends considerable time siebat'ng as to whether the war is over, but tha-t Is about as f.-r a the law-making body appeals to get. The ship of state is floundering In the choppy sea-, and with the pilot in Europe there appears to be no way of steadying the wobbly craft. It is elouotful if there has ever! been v t'me when there have been so many inconsistencies in the Gov ernment i.s now. The food and fual administrations, which were deemed so essent al. are crumbling. The war Idbor board is practically on the .-.helf, notwithstanding the fact that con tracts cf war work have been can celed, throwing vast armies of work men out of employment and threaten ing the credit of many concerns that have -dropped every th iig in order-to' serve their country. Government con trol of prices has almost passed, The! total co :t of the war for America-, up to November, was $20 WO.OOO, 000 and the cfpaciiy of Congress seems to be taxed to its utmost in finding a way for the future. The stee'. men and the War Industries Board have been in confea'ence, and the result is that competitive condi tions within this great in.lustiy are tc be restored after January 1. Sunfm ng up the industrial situa tion one finds that the whole indus trial machinery of the country is being sft adrift. The war industries have accepted this condition, and at the Atlantic Oltv jratHc-insr their problems were analyzed, ar.d remed ial methods were provided as far as possible. The Government now cfTers no solution about hew to get back to peace. The country is a-sked to ac cept as an excuse for holding the boys in the ca-mps the explanation that it is done to rel eve what Mr. MeAdao escribes in another Instrnee a. "uncerta-'nity and fermrnt." A lot of good it will do to ask Washington what is to be done about things- If the Pres:dent had on V suggested something in his .address to Congres it would have started ospo sit on. at least. Rut as matters stand Washington is on the border edge between ccma and cyn'cism. Its contrary-minded groups are prepared to oppose the rat fication of the peace trerty. no matter what it may s'.and for., Kcconstrucion, is princi pally a myth. The Capital fci'ks' about the Diitish plan headed by .?. Ministry of Reconstruction, and sup ported by a large number of commis sions. The Cap'fal also tak about committees of the Senate and House. It ta ks cf using existi ng Government agencies r,-.d Departments to ponw extent. But though matters are ex tremely pre sing, Washington hasn't shown enough initiative since the signing of the armisfce to entitle it to a paragraph on the pages of the history of the Democracy. Now these statements are not polit cs thev are tiuths, .and thi. ought to be the day of truthteTng. It ; not a question of what the Democrats Jiave done, or what the Republicans have done for the record shows that the whole bunchy cf them have done practically nothing.
