In one of his more recent addremses Mr. Stokes sounds the mlognn, "Back to the Republic," meaning thereby that the country should return to the good old policy of rule by the people instead of permitting one man or a coterie of men to‘ dictate Itr policles and commandeer its activities in perce,time as well as in time of war, ‘The speech containg some striking sentences, beftstetaistinafesadiiciasas alii *‘Tremendous powers," saya the state chairman, "have been vested in the administration, ‘greater than ever vested in any mulvcrat or king, ‘They were granted, however, as war measures and not as a part of the permanent policy 3 ewners as soon as practicable." hig o nought he bammers home in ‘cone of o the eblef factors in the work 64 reconstruction is the reestablishment of our government on the basic, constitutional principles of our fathers amd a program ‘back to the republic,‘ where the power was vested in the people and not in bureaucratic commis» Lula "The keynote of the Republican camFaguained New Jersey will be sounded in a platform to be adopted at the convention of the State League of RepubHean Clubs at Trenton early in June, and there is no doubt the able state Fraprempnabictaed anl Ac Llc In the drafting of that platform.

"A rumor his reached the Trensury that a mistake lias been made by the authorities,. that from. $16,000,000,000 to #17,000,000,000 has been returned [to the ‘Treasury as a result of the armistice and that therefore another Liberty Loan Is unnecessary. | "The romor in absolutely unfounded, 1 suppose It has its origin in a fallure to understand the dincussion of the proponed repeal by Congress of $15,000,000,000 of appropriations and anthorizations, | This does not meat a return of money to the Treasury, but a cuncellation of authority heretofore given by Congress to expend money In the future.. Buch reduction in future expenditures war antlclpated by Secretary McAdoo and fully allowed for when on November 14th he wrote to Senator Slinmons forecasting an expenditure of some $15,000.000,000 for the fireal year ending June 30, 1910, and suggesting m reduction in txxes for that year. to $6,000,000,000 mnd for the fecal yenr ending June 80, 1920, to $4,000,000,000. "Ax a matter of fact, the whole pmocceds of the Fourth Liberty Loan and of all previous lorns had, at the time the armistice wan sizned, been expended or anticipated by Treasury certificuten . of .

Tt has heen the | practice of the Treasury since the be- | ginning of the war to finance the cur | rent requirements of the government by the issue of Treasury cerilficates of Indebtedners of short maturity at frequent intervals before each Liber | ty Loan and to refund there Trenmury certificaten from time to time by the sale of Liberty Bonds. This practice, was followed in ndvance of ench a| the four Liberty Loans so that when | any Liberty Loan was actually offer: | ed for subscription and the proceeds | reached the Treasury only | a . very | amail part were available for the fu- | ture requirements of the government, | the greater part of the proceeds hélng | required to retire the short time ‘Treanury certificates of Indebtedness Issued in anticipation of the Loan. "The £2300,000,000 net proceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan were soon exhansted. ‘To meet the current ez penditures of the government since about the time of the armistice It has been necessary to borrow $4,231,800, 500 on Treasury certificates.
