' The Republican party has no right to appoint five partisan Republicans to handle a debt of $12,000,000,000 owed to the American people. That act may breed and bring forth a public scandal. There is something wrong about it and there is something rotten in it. It can not be defended in any tribunal of justice in the wcrld. What right has any party to take an indebtedness due to the people of the United States anl parcel it out for consideration to a few partisans of that party? They have not that right, and we ire not going to remain silent and permit this thing to stand. I am going to fight for that change until I get it. We are going to keep up the fight until the people have been recognized and both parties are represented upon that Debt commission. This is a big question and concerns the whole people. Twelve billions cf dollars belonging to the people of the United States is no small concern. It was. whispered around this .Capitol fot weeks and months that the Republican purpose was to cancel this foreign debt. We know that the propaganda was so thick around ' this Capitol you could almost cut it with a knife; but we Democrats fought hfre, and fought on and on until we frightened the other side, so that just before the election one or two of them ' came out afld said they, too, favored the Collection of the debt. The Republican leaders have not favored it until driven to it by the Democrats, and when a man is driven to a like that position he ts not very deeply concerned about whether it succeeds or not. He may be compelled to take the stand because of the political ex- lt,cndt3 of hour, but $12,000,000,000 owed to the American people shall not be handled by five partisans of any party, if I can 1 l5plp wuld condemn it if it were being done by the Demo, EXTRA BARGAINS UNTIL NOON SATURDAY fe BY in Europe, as insidious but pernicious propaganda, - The Acid Test the-?am- e has been and still is in this country and, much more .

Instead of open discussions in congress so the people may know what is being done in the matter of collections, the power to arrange terms has been delegated to a commission comis as posed eixclusively of Republicans; and this commission dumb as the proverbial oyster regarding its, conclusions and operations that immediately affect the entire people of the United ' States, and particularly those who "bought bonds until it hurt, in order to furnish the vast sums necessary to conduct the war, . . including the billions loaned our allies, As illustrative of this tendency and its effects if carried into action, we quote the following from a speech made in the U. S. Senate by Senator Heflin of Alabama There are certain international bankers who want to cancel the debt due this Government by- the foreign powers. Certain international bankers' in the United States have owing to them about $4,000,000,000 by foreign countries, and they do not want the debt due to our Government to interfere with the collection of their private debts, and they are undertaking to manipulate and so handle the debt due this Government that they can collect the four billions owed to them. Mr. President, these international bankers do not want this foreign debt paid to our Government. They do not intend to have it paid. They are going to exert tremendous influence to have that debt canceled. I am going to continue to insist that the people of the United States have representation on that debt commission. They are not represented there now. The Republican party alone is represented on that commission. There are five partisan Republicans on the commission and no Democrat, no Progressive, no anybody else except partisan Republicans. The Senator from Georgia (Mr. Harris) has offered a resolution providing for Democratic representation on the commission, to which I called attention yesterday and the day before, and I am going to keep on calling attention to it until the Senate and the House recognizes the Democratic party, which represents millions of American people, and until we have representation on that debt commission.- - Senators pn the other side might just as well get it into their minds that we are going to have representation on that debt commission or they will never hear the last of it.

I want them to hasten to right that wrong. It ought to be done. There is no d Republican in the country, man or woman, who, if the proposition was stated to them, would not say, Yes; there should be Democrats on that commission both parties should be Why were no Democrats put upon it? represented upon it. was a reason for it. I think that There Somebody knows. was at the bottom of it. I think they cancellation of debt to intended quietly manipulate it toward debt cancellation, carry on a propaganda, keep all the doings of the commission behind closed doors in partisan circles, and after a while force some plan upon the people when it would be difficult to prevent it. I fear something like that was back of it. I will now ask the Senator from Utah (Mr. Smoot) if he does not .believe that it is fairf and just; and right for the Democrats to be represented on, the Debt Funding commission? The Senator from Utah is a member of that commission, and I ask him if he does not think that the Democrats are entitled to representation upon it? Mr. President, the Senator from Utah is not Mr. SMOOT. going in any way, shape, or form to become a party to the filibuster that is on this afternoon. Mr. HEFLIN. Oh, Mr. President, how innocent and meek the and simple question Senator appears. His answer to that I propounded is one of the profoundest answers ever made in this Chamber. He i9 not .going to be a party to a filibuster. That is just like asking a fellow if he is guilty or not guilty and he do not want to take any part in these proceedings! says,-- I (Laughter.) If a man were to say that before a judge he would probably be sent to jail for contempt of court, but the Senator from Utah is on that Debt Funding commission and he knows that they can do as Republican partisans please, and perhaps he does not want to be disturbed by the presence of Democrats. Why can not the Senator from Utah tell the Senate and tell the country that he is in favor of our having representation upon that commission, or why can he not say, as his silence indicates, that he is opposed to our having representation upon' that commission? Suppose I were to be asked if I believed in Jesus Christ, and I were to say, I am not going to participate in the filibuster in the country bethat is going on, what would every Christian ' lieve my position was on the jubject? They would say, He is an infidel ; he does not believe in the doctrine of the Christian But I do believe in it with all my heart, and I would religion. avail myself of the opportunity of saying so if that question were put to me. I would not hide behind a subterfuge of any kind to avoid answering the question, but I would promptly answer Yes. I have asked the Senator from Utah, himself a member of the Debt Funding commission, appointed to handle this indebtedness of $12,000,000,000, Do you believe that the Democrats should have perrcsentatioiLOn that commission ? and tor declines (o answer, because, forsooth, he does not want to te in a filibuster. man a race neither of them know- put" x enteinl an exchange adviBes ingly If what you did yesterday still A cat may have nine lives, but it that you should not lay too large a looks big to you, you haven't done without figuring the odds has nothing on a frog that croaks wager much today. against Find, winch result from the every night. . e fair-minde- the-purpos- the-prope- r par-tici- - ( p. e If There is always something. are riding on the train just a about when you get to place where you think you are going, you see something interesting, you pass a String of box cars a mile long if it is an open air meeting, about the time you think the speaker Is, going to say something a fool passes We Insist, with the cut out open there is always something you The bungalow type or architecture' now quite among prominent statesmen.
