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

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

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

The House created a special com-1 a
mittee on Woman suffrage while the ! tj
Senate favorably reported the Susan j t|

Several bills passed the Senate and j

and remain pending on the calendar.
Among them are the soldiers and!

failed of Senate ratification and is on
