'' genuine coaliion government because in Bi; n England the great parties in peace times Hflf ;' - -f-: Quite as bitter tpward each other as are BH'Ir' e firea parties of the United, States HP 1 N helieve that the fight against Germany is H :' " the fight of all the English people against HkJ; t Germany and not the fight of one poli- Hjb I"' &' fcical party against Genifany. "That be- . H I :-r ing the case the great parties and even HBi the minor ones are represented in the ac- BJ f- tual administration of the government H I -h. - for the period of the war. The men of all OI' v aBBlBBgyMgl M parties occupy 'the high bffices"and the war cabinet of these partisans. When the Civil war broke, Lincoln, the Republican., called into his ;cabinet the great minds of the Democratic party to help him to carry through to a successful success-ful conclusion the greaf'war for the preservation pres-ervation of the union. And Lincoln did so over the protests of the small politicians politi-cians of his own party who then, as now,-can now,-can see no virtue except within the confines con-fines of their own partisan organization But Lincoln was great enough to override over-ride hotse of small minds and to endure the bitterness of their criticism. The English government at the present pres-ent time is spending about half as much in the conduct of this war as is the United Unit-ed States. Several reasons may contribute contri-bute to this, but not the least of these is believed to be the fact that with the parties par-ties having an equal share in the actual I administration of the war and dividing, (equally the responsibility, a more economical econ-omical conduct of war .affairs is; possible than in this countryVhere one party.as- ,sumes the principal positions of power and attempts to assume all .-responsibility. The result of this in s'dme'eases has been that gross extravagance has been practised. i This waste has been especially 'noticeable 'notice-able in the matter of aircraft production, ftvhere, according to reports of investigators, investi-gators, many millions of the people's money have been wasted and the air program pro-gram delayed at great expense of time land perhaps of lives as well. The Republicans at times in the- last year and a half or so have refrained from attempting to right things that they could plainly see were going wrong, because be-cause they feared .that their criticism would be interpreted as of partisan char- N . acter, while they", knew that, such criti- cism would be a purely patriotic service. ' Finally in conjunction with loyal Demo crats who had become, alarmed by the situation, they brought ab'ouF investigations investiga-tions that have resulted in., immense good though very late, and in the speeding up of the war. But for this theyWere de- .nouncied in some quarters almostiite trai-', tors as were the few Democrats who .stood, with them. And yet get this when President Wilson asked the Congress to pass the ' first selective service Taw, Mr. Dent, a. Democrat, chairman of the Military Af-Ifairs Af-Ifairs committee of the House, Refused J absolutely to give, the support asked by the President and it was necessary -for Julius Kahn of California, Republican, minority leader, to come forward and i carry through the bill that meant so much to the administration in its effort to make war measures effective. But also, get this when the Republicans Repub-licans of the House by whose efforts the selective service law had been passed, asked that Congressional committees be appointed to oversee the expenditure of -money that had been voted for war purposes, pur-poses, the Democrats lined up sondly against the, idea, saying that such committees com-mittees would delay the work of the war. .'.Now wth, the' billions' of dollars spent and scores obstetrics afloat as to the extravagance ex-travagance of the expenditure, nothing, apparently can be done in the matter and Congress and the people are left to twid i :v die -their thumbs. t r Under a coalition government this situation sit-uation could not exist because one party under such circumstances would have kept an accurate check on the other, many millions of dollars would have been saved and the war instead of being hindered hin-dered would have beenspeeded. It is certain' that no nonpartisan nor bmni partisan conduct of the .war can be expected under the present administration, administra-tion, but if we elect a Republican Congress Con-gress in November, we may have a force in Washington that will keep a much needed check on the expenditure of the vpeople's money and at the same time be a vital power in pushing forward tlie'war to a successful and early conclusion.
