Some ‘congressmen, ‘who are having a8 much-difficulty in making both ends ‘meet as their constituents, have point- ed out that, unsatistactory as are some conditions at home, they are much more serious abroad. The replies;to these letters are to the effect that the people are - interested in conditions in Amwerica, not in Europe, that they. want conditions improved.and intend to’ seé that ;they are. improved. As a result of .these -communications, some mem- . ‘bers 0f the : house- sy’ that issues. of:| yesteryear between. the two dom&ant parties will ‘be pushed into the back- 'ground during the fall campaign, and that. the candidate who makes reduc- tion in the cost of living the most fm- , portanit plank of his platform . will stand the best chance of election, ‘That congress is awaking to:the sit- uation .is evidenced by .bills and ‘reso- lutions which members are introduc: ing, by addresses. in both branches, by ithe taking of legislative action and by treqllent calls of members at the de- ipartment of justice, A senatorial in- ivestigntion of the recent increasing|; icost of gasoline is about to get under ‘way.

Robert Dollar, who.for-a er of a century has operated hters on the Px\cmr. only recently reminded the govdfnment.that if | ‘§t-ivill not interfere tod much, private ship owners will get along.

It is try- ling to get out of the shipping business. 'The 700 ships were built at a cost of npproxlmate]y $200 a ton.. The best the ‘government is offered for them itoday Is $30 a ton. At. the beginning of this calendar. geat the shipping board was running behind at ‘t.e rate of $4,000.000 a 'month, There has been a reduction in this deficit so that today the gov- ernment on- ifs_ shipping. business is running behind only about $3,000,000 ia month, y by Angle of Flight ‘Indicatea.

Liquor, shipped ‘to:foreign countries for storage on the eve of national pro- hibition, is gradually -being brought back, some by . smugglers, some through legitimate channels.
