Washington, Feb. 22. ? The two
important subjects which over-,
shadow everything else in Wash
ington are the President's row
with Congress and the necessity
tor increasing national defense
precautions.
There is little difference of
opinion on Capitol Hill on the first
of those; Congress, especially the
Senate, is in a fighting mood and
is defying the Presidential wishes.
There is considerable difference
of Opinion in Congress as to the
real need of spending as much
money as the Army and IJiaJty,
backed by" the President; ttlillk'
should be sj>ent for increasing the
natiion's armaments.
Without the backing of inform
ed public opinion, even those who
-> strongly favor heavy increases in
armaments feel that it would be
unwise to go too far. If the public
knew the facts, these members of
Congress believe, there would be
no opposing sentiment against'
spending all t'hat might be neces
sary on our fighting forces.
The facts about the military
strength of America and the dem
ocracies of Europe, as compared
with that of the dictatorships,
which were told to the Senate and
House Military Affairs commit
tees, are beginning to leak out.
and they are making a deep im
pression upon members who had
not heard them and who were in
clined to oppbse the whole idea
that the United States needed
stronger defenses.
Craig Gives Figures
As outlined by General Malln
Craig, Chief of Staff of the Army,
the comparative figures- are very
interesting. Military men talk of
armed forces in terms of Army di
visions. A division is a completely
self-contained fighting unit of. us-'
ually, 20,000 men and officers,
equipped and manned to take the
field alone if necessary.
The latest figures show that
Germany has 90 such division's,
Iialy 44. France 38, and Kngland
only seven. Japan has 50 army di
visions in China, 12 more in Man
chukuo and nine at home.
And the United States has only
parts of four division^.
There are 400,000 soldiers on
the War Repayment rolis. includ
ing the regular Army, the Nation
al Guard and the enlisted reserve;
but they, do not constitute all ef-i
fective fighting force because they
have not the equipment for war.
The Army has developed at the
Springfield Arsenal a new type of
infantry rifle which isjaid to be
the best In the world, but there
are only 8. 000 of those modern |
rifles to equip the entire army.
There are only 140 of the three-!
Inch field guns which are the main
reliance of a mobile-army:, only|
(woof the modern 1 05-niilliiUfiter |
guns upon which foreign armies i
are relying, and less than half the
uumber of machine guns needed
to equip what troops we could put
in the field If necessary.
General Craig startled the Con-j|
giessional committee by citing
pages bf such facts, and especially.]
by alleging, that most of the gun- 1
?powder the Army has now was
left over from the World War audi
has deteriorated so that it explod-;
es often by spontaneous combus-'
tion, sometimes blowing the gun-j
barrel to bits.
Inclined To l>o Something
In the light of such Information
Congress is more inclined than be
fore to put the nation's defenses
into working shape, but Is still in-1
cllned to be suspicious of being
led into entangling foreign allK,
ances.
The real battle between the I
President and Congress may have
only begun. The Senate's refusal
to confirm the appointment of >
Floyd H- Roberts to be a Federal;
judge in Virginia, by a vote of 72;
to 9. was the opening gun. The
President's attack upon The an
cient system of "Senatorial cour- 1
tesy" under which no high official
can "be confirmed if he is person
ally obnoxious to the Senators
from "his home state, has opened
up the whole quesHon of the pow
er of appointment.
The President Insists that it is
a power granted by the Constitu
tion to the President alone. Thej
Senate holds that the power of op
polntment is a dunl function of
President and Senate together. .
Much re-reading of the Consti
tution is going on on Capitol Hill,
and members are discovering that
the Constitutional power of ap
pointment granted to the Execu
tive extends to Justices of the Su
preme Court, ambassadors, other,
public ministers and consuls.
He may also, still by and with
the consent of the Senate, appoint
other public officers whose selec
tion js not otherwise provided for
by law, but Congress is given spe
cific authority to take the appoint
ing power of minor officials out of
the President's hands and vest it'
In the courts or in the heads of1
departments.
The appointment by the Presi
dent of Thomas K. Anilie as a'
member of (he Interstate Com-!
merce Commission greatly intend;
sified the heat generated by the .
appointment of Judge Huberts
Several other Presidential ap-'
pointees are likely to have rough
sledding and more refusals of the
Senate to confirm them are expec-j
tedi = <
president Shows Anger
It all sums up that the Presi-.
dent is mad at Congress and Con-!
gress is mad at the President. The
President displayed his anger
when he sent a demand to Con-|
gress for the restoration of the
150 milliou dollars which Con
gress had chopped off from the
W.P.A. fund which he had retjues-,
ted. Congress slapped back at the
President by voting, ten to one, toj
continue the Dies committee for,
investigating un-American activi
ties. which the President' disap-1
proves.
Tlie talk on Capitol hill is that,
the two items in the departmental
reorganization plan which the
President most desires, the chang
ing of the character of t'he Civil
Service Commission and placing
the Controller-General under the
Executive instead of under Con
gress. may. be cut out Af the bills
to make it easier for the machin
ery of government to function.
