W NATION'S STATUTES ENACTED IN SIX MONTHS UNSURPASSED IN NUMBER, SCOPE, UNANIMITY. Record of achievements probably unparalleled in legislative history of the world closed with* adjournment of the sixty-fifth congress. Written into the nation's statutes in six months are laws in number, scope and unanimity unsurpassed. ^Called Aprii 2 by President Wil* I son (within a month after his sec-: ond inauguration) to enroll the Uni-J ted States among Germany'? foes, j from the passage of the war resolu/ tion April 6 until the President's - - * 1 o ; signature 01 me iasi iaw oaiuiua.*, i Congress has worked incessantly on ; legislation of vital present and fu- j ture import in national world devel-1 ^opment. It now takes a two months' j respite,- returning December 3 for | the regular session and facing an-1 w ^ther stupendous programme of war and domestic action. Marking the session passing into ^history were its war declaration; P provision for quick and large increase in the nation's fighting forceon land, sea and in the air; appropriations of more than $20,000,000,000; measures of taxation and credits to meet the financial drafts, and vesting the President with vast powers. Looming up for disposition at the December session are more enormous appropriations, for this and next year, great tax and bond bills and a mass of other war and domestic leg- j islation, with congressional primaries ala/?t!nne nlnaclv follnwinff OUU tltv UVUJ ? v.tv ?..0. | Among the important measures enacted were: The army draft law, two war credits measures, authorizing loans . to the allies, and sale of domestic bonds; the war tax law, appropria'tion of $640,000,000 for airplanes:! Wm the espionage act; control of foods. | feeds and fuel; the trading with the act, including authority for the; President, as chief executive, to! ," embargo imports; the soldiers and i sailors' insurance act, and the war budget bills. The principal disputes of the ses-1 ari/\n ajjro ?b tKc> rtruft fnnd cnntrnl and war tax bills, with the opposition centered in the Senate. Cloture was twice resorted to there?on the! food and war tax measures?but its \ actual imposition averted. During the session six allied rr.is-, sions appeared before Congress. Congress also found time to take j important action on two important domestic matters?prohibition and i woman suffrage. Besides prohibiting manufacture. or importation of distilled beverages and authorizing the President in the I food control bill to stop or curtail that of beer and wines, the Senate I "passed the S'ueppard resolution proposing a national amendment to the j Just ask you she ooesr.'t want* ?
