reconstruction." While no specific
"unseramblin" measures were in.-
"that the Congress shali assert its
dorsed it was understood that in
dividual members of the conference
will offer a series of bills at an early
date to abolish the war powers of
the administration.
Abuse Wur Powers
After the conference had ad
j urnc-d Senator Sherman, of Illi
nois, gave out an interview in whicji
he characterized the taking over of
the marine cable five days after the j
virtual er ( > of the war as "an arro-j
Kant abuse of war powers." The I
Soiu t declared that the public'
shoulu immediately associate the
seizure of tho cables with the de
clared purpose of the President to
attend the peace conference with a
retinue of pubhci.. agents.
"The President is going abroad,"
said , Senator Sherman "and I see
he is going to take Creel with him.
With the newly acquired power;
Creel will pinch' the cables and I
hold them. The President will have j
3000 miles of salt water between]
him and the United States. And |
the cables will be under exclusive!
control of the government and the I
transmission of information about
the peace discussions will be entirely
in the hands of the President and
Creel.
"There is only one autocrat left
and he heads the world's oldest and
greatest republic. Tho press will be
tied, bound, gagged and hobbled by
this seizure of the cables.
"From a domestic point of view
the seizure of the cables is in line
with the administration's Socialistic
policy of taking everything it can
lay its hands on. It is, an arrogant
abuse of the war powers conferred
upon the administration by Congress
for use only during the present
emergency.'
Publicity For Wilson
Senator Watson, of Indiana, voiced
vigorous protest in the conference
against the taking over of the cables.
He expects to make a speech elab
orating his views in the Senate on.
Thursday. He said that he would
point out to the Senate that the
chief purpose of the seizure of the
cables after the cessation of hostil
ities is to give Creel control of all
the publicity in connection with the
President's visit abruad. It has
been announced that Creel and a
number of employes of the Bureau
of Public Information will accom
pany the President to take charge
of the publicity. No arrangements
have been made for the accommo
dation of regular newspapermen, al
though no obstacles will be placed
in their way, it is .ted.
Having made a favorable report
on the amendment to the Weeks
reconstruction resolution whereby
the appointment of six committees
is prov'ded for instead of one, the
Republican plans for demobilizing
the forces of the country from a war
basts to the new conditions of peace
appeared to be entirely harmonious.
The six committee plan was pro
posed by Senator Cummins of lowa,
of the so-called progressive wing, of
Lhe party, and indicates that the
Senators are working together on
the plans for handling reconstruc
tion work. THe joint committees
will deal with the demobilization of
the army and navy; foreign trade
and commerce; interstate transpor
tation, domestic business; em
ployers and employes' national re
sources.'
Penrose to Head Finance
Although there has been some
talk on the of |/estern Sena
tors of opposition to Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania as chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee,
at the conference there was no indi
cation that any such movement
would develop. It was conceded
by the rank and file that Senator
Penrose is the man for the job, be
cause of his lon# experience on the
committee and because he iu adj
mitted to be an authority on the
subject of taxation.
Any opposition on the part of
western senators is likely to meet
with an untimely end, for the senti
ment of the party is strongly in
favor of rewarding tho Republican
leaders who. have established records
in the Senate and the seniority rule
on the committees will continue to
stand.
