Blount, a representative IN congress
from Georgia for 20 years, and special
commissioner to Hawaii, in an inter
view in the Macon Telegraph this

1T is an executive prerogative. There
is no doubt about it. In fact, this is the
first time that the executive authority
has been seriously questioned. 1t might
be claimed with as much propriety by
the champions of the right of congress
to determine this matter-that congress
has the right to name the diplomatic
representatives of this government, its
foreign ministers and conSuls and to
exercise the functions of the depart
ment of state.

question. He was undoubtedly thor

when he wrote his message. He has
intimated that it might be necessary

"a question involving international
relations cannot be settled in a body
where partisan considerations are the
determining influence. In my public
experience, and as a member of the
house committee on foreign affairs,
was taught the necessity of keeping
questions involving the relations of our
government with other nations outside
of partisan clamor."
