READY TO ARGUE
THE QUESTION
Roosevelt Gives Out State
ment Regarding Use of Sc
Cret Service Officers.
NO ABUSE OF OPPONENTS
MILD AND MODERATE LAM
eUAGE USED BY PRESIDENT.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Declaring that
IF the government is to act with fun
efficiency against criminals, it must
have some kind of secret service agents
VINO can act against criminals any
where" President Roosevelt, in a state
nsut made public at the White House
tonight. emphaticaliy reiterated his op-
position to restricting the field of the
secret service.
The position Of the administration
IS said the president, that it is
against sound policy 10 discriminate in
favor Of criminals by discriminating
against the use of the secret service to
detect and punish them.
At no time has the president or any
administrative officer claimed that the
restrictive legislation of the last ses-
sion affected the secret service division
of the treasury department in the mat
ter of suppresSing counterfeiting OF
protecting the president As a matter
Of fact the limita ton did not apply in
the slightest degree to the normal
functions Of that service, and the claim
that the secret service was not ham,
pered in looking after cOunteTfeiters is
admitted; but that assertion that the
restriction was harmless to the gov
eTnment's interest is not correct.
Injurious Limitation.
The effect of the limitation was ma
teriaIly to ciTcumscribe the field of use
funess in which the trained agents of
the secret service had hitherto been ad-
vantageOusly employed. Under limita-
ton it became impossible to use these
Investigators IN the class of cases in
which they have been conspicuously
frrT -
phraseology of the restrictive legisla-
ton is such that any person who was
employed in or under the secret di-
vision during 1909 for even so short a
period as an hour became disqualified
for promotion of employment in any
branch Of the government service
where either his compensation or ex-
penses would be payable from any ap-
preparation in the sundTy civil act
The limitations tied the hands Of the
secretary of the treasury and made it
impossible for him TO continue the EN-
ployment of these men in many cases
of irregularities or wTOngdoing in those
branches of the treasury department
devoted TO the issuing and handling of
obligations. securities and coins of The
government.
Presidents Contention.
1t is the contention of the executive
branch of the government that il
should be permitted to use the best
means of investigating criminal cases,
and when legislation is enacted that de-
prives the executive branch of a par
ticularly desirable and effective inves-
tigating force the governments inter
ests, which are the interests of the peo-
pie, are injured and the only gamers are
the evildOers. who may thereby escape
detection and punishment
The question Is, is il right or wise q
proper specifically 10 discriminate
against une particular division Of tbs
governments investigating forces and
prevent its employment where it might
be used to great advantage IL is al
