REPUBLICANS COMMEND 1T
THE DECISION NOT TO CALL AN EX-
IRA SESSION PRAISED.
1t is Believed That the Situation Can
BE Met without Waiting
on LeEislatiOn.

Republican members of the House and
Senate who are in the city commend the
decision of the President and cabinet yes
terday not to call an extra session of Con-
gress at this time They agree with the
opinion expressed after the official con-
ference that under the circumstances 1t is
needless to call Congress together.
Political reasons are advanced also in
support of this position. 1t is argued that
the administration might be badly en-
barrassed by political demagoguery If the
opportunity were given the opponents of
the republican party to exploit their plans
in Congress. Without responsibility in the
situation and bent only upon making po-
litical capital it is felt that some members
of the minority would attempt to make po-
litical capital even at the peril of import
ant interests.
This is the way 1 look at it," said a
well-kRown member of the House to Star
reporter today. Suppose Congress Is call
ed together: the President submits the lin
tied amount of information which he pos
SeSSes upon the Chinese situation and Con-
gress proceeds to act upon it. according to
its best judgment The House goes ahead
in business-like fashion and cleans up the
job. as best it can. in the circumstances

how these fellows will want to embarrass
the administration.
They will come forward with demands
for delay. with the plea that some kind of
a specific declaration must be made as to
our intentions in China There is talk
procrastination and vexation, and in the
meantime all action is suspended. The
President will not feel like making move
while Congress has the case under delibera-
ton and the result is indefinite postpone

No. the President and cabinet acted
wisely in deferring the call for an extra
session, wisely from all points of view. The
President has undoubted authority to act
in the premises for the protection of Amer
lean lives and property and he can go
ahead unhampered by captious minority.
which Is intent only upon political glorifi-
cation and is unmindful of the great in
terests of human life and international
comfy which are at stake"
1t is felt by republicans that up to this
time, at least. no political advantage has
accrued to the benefit of the opposition
from the Chinese situation. The republic
can politicians believe that the country will
stand solidly behind the President in his
intention to relieve the legation. If pos
sible, and to exact retribution if the lives
of Americans have been sacrificed.
