I'RKSKXT CONGRESS DELAYING Declares Appropriation Rills Were Increased, and Nothing But 1'olitlcnl Investigations llavo Re sulted This Session. fHy Atvsoei.itc<l Press. 1 WASHINGTON, August 1.?The Re publican filibuster in the Senate last March cost the United States inorfc than I1L',000,000 in appropriations alone, It- jire-sentativ? liyrns, Democrat. Ten nessee, ranking minority member of Hit- Appropriations Committee, de clared today In an address reviewing the tlnanciai record of the present ses sion. Mr. TSyrns accounted for this increase by saying the new Congress had in creased to that extent the amounts carried Tor ordinary expenses of the government in the sundry civil, agri cultural. t'istriet of Columbia and In dian appropriation billa. "These bills," he .said, "would have been enacted into law had it not been for that filibuster, and this Congress would not have had the opportunity to in< roase them." Mr. Merits asserted that the Re publicans claimed an extra session was necessary to deal with reconstruc tion problems when their real purpo.-c was to force the President to return from France before framing of the peace treaty. "If the desire for reconstruction legr islation was its real purpose," he said, "why is it that now after a session of only two months the Republican ma jority in Congress has decided to take a five weeks' recess, with this legislation not enacted. "They have passed the appropriation bills that were defeated at the last session by the filibuster, and. having started certain political investigations with the hope that something may turn up that tnay be of advantage to their party, they now take a long recess and permit important legislation to await their own good pleasure."
