CANAL POLICY
UNDER FIRE.
VIGOROUS OPPOSITION IN HOUSE
AT PLAN TO ABOLISH 18TH
MAN COMMISSION. #
ROOSEVELT DENOUNCED BY
HARRISON AS "DEsPOT"-MANN
DEFENDS PRESIDENT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Vigorous
opposition to the proposed plan to
abolish the istnmian canal commits
sion and to vest building of the
Panama canal and of governing the
cana zone in one director general,
appointed by the president, cropped
out in the house today in general de-
bate on the Mann bill, reported by
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce.
Scarcely less intense was the pro-
test aroused when it was learned that
the committee had recommended that
the judicial power on the canal zone
be vested in one circuit court and
such inferior courts as the president
may constitute This would require
the abolition of the existing supreme
court on the zone.
An appeal direct to the supreme
court of the United States is author
lied, however, in questions arising
out of the constitution, treaties or
ing a death sentence or Imprisonment.
Similar appeal is allowed in civil
cases involving more than $4,000.
Representative Mann Ull.), author
of the bill. and chairman of the COM
mittee, attempted to explain the ne
cessity for his measure.
What are the sources of authority
from which the president (Roosevelt)
derived the right to claim to govern
the canal zone?" interrupted Repre-
sentative Harrison Of New York.
Mann Justifies President.
Il justify the actions Of the presi-
dent" replied Mr.. Mann, upon the
necessity of this civilization prevent
ing chaos upon the zone, and when
congress, in it's wisdom, chose not to
provide a form of government after
the end of the 58th congress, by it's
specific enactment. I think it wrote
into the law, without language, that
we believed the president has the
power to carry on the government
and did not intend that no govern
ment should exist on the zone"
After Mr.. Mann had concluded his
explanation, Mr.. Harrison denounced
the bill in an extended speech. He
designated President Roosevelt as a
"dictator,"~ and a "despot," and de-
clared that he had assumed author
ity in governing the canal zone to
which he had no right.
Representative Olmstead (Penn.),
replied to Mr.. Harrison, defending the
former president, whose actions, he
declared. had been justified by re-
peatedly acts of congress in making
appropriations for carrying on the
canal work. and that it was the in
tent Of congress to give the president
such authority.
A vigorous defense of the canal pol
icy of the administration was made by
Representative Admason (Georgia) J.,
a member of the committee.
Representative Keifer (Ohio) in
sisted congress had no constitutional
right to vest such legislative power in
the president and Urged the work
