OPPOSES NEW CERTIFICATES.
John Sharp Williams Criticises the
Administrations Action,

Mr.. Jonn Sharp Williams, democratic
leader in the House of Representatives,
said today that he deprecated the action
of the administration in issuing 500, 600, 700
of certificates of Indebtedness at this time,
and that undoubtedly the action will be
criticised in Congress.
Mr.. Williams went on to say that al
though the administration had technical
legal authority for the issuance, Congress
never intended the authority to be used in
this way. He declared that when the act
was passed authorizing the issue of. GER
tificates of Indebtedness not to exceed
500, 600, 600, Congress contemp ated the
possibility of the war with Spain, involv-
ing this government in trouble with an
other foreign power, or other powers, in
which case greenbacks might go below
par. and these certificates were authorized
to enable the government to protect itself.
He asserted that no one contemplated
then that the authority would be used in
a time of profound peace. land, according
to our republican brethren, of unexampled
prosperity" he added, to increase the in
terest-bearing Indebtedness of the coun-
try.
''Everything under this administration, -
said Mr.. Williams, lis ingenuity of con-
struction If the administration cannot
find law to suit it's ends it always finds
some one to construe a law to the pur-
pose"
