ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. Ex-senator
A. o. Bacon, of Georgia, today
scathingly criticized President Taft
for ordering American soldiers to
Nicaragua. He denounced Taft's or
der as contrary TO the constitution
and without any authority Of law"
"In my opinion the question of
sending infantry and armed sailors
into Nicaragua by the President with
out authority 'from Congi ess is not
only without the law, but absolutely
In violation of the law" said Ba-
con.
"Of course, it is recognized that un-
der certain circumstances small bod
les of marines may be landed in a
foreign country, for instance to pro-
tect American consulates, but that is
very different matter from sending
an army into a foreign country to
take sides between the conflicting
factions within that country.
III such action is really necessary,
then it is the duty Of the President
to report the matter to Congr1 SIS and
have Congress authorize the move
ment That duty is vested in Con-
gress by the constitution and not
given to the President. If it is a
dangerous power to be exercised by
anyone man and the constitution care
fully denied It TO the President and
. vested 1t in Congress alone.
