AMERICA'S FINANCIAL STRAIN
A SENATOR’S WARNING: Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, July 6. (Receiver July 7, at 10.6 In a most impressive speech to an overflowing Chamber, Senator Borah warned Congress that the pending legislation 'tended to ever-increasing expenditure. Every item on the Republican programme, he declared, sought to increase instead of lowering the national burden, and the people’s faith in the Government was being destroyed. The men responsible for this were guilty of the most heinous crime of which men could be guilty. He read into the Senatorial record portions of Lord Inchcape’s report on English conditions, and asked Congress to see the lesson therein for America. Mr Borah said, ‘The tariff, the Ship Subsidy Bill, and the soldiers’ bonus have dragged the nation unon a road over which no nation yet has ever beaten a successful retreat.”—A and N.Z. Cable.
