BRYAN'S LECTURE TOURS
SUBJECT OF D|ATR|BE
Britten, Of Illinois, Denounces Secrc-
tary of State "for Hiking Around
Country Talking for Pay"
PROPOSES DRASTIC MEASURE
He Would Make 1t Penal Offense for
Cabinet Officers, Heads or Clerks
OF Departments to Accept Money
for Speeches.

Washington. June S--Secretary
l'rvans lecture tours cropped up I'm the
House again to-day, when Representa-
tive Britten, of Illinois, Republican.
introduced Il bill to make ii a penal Of
fcnSe for any Cabinet officer. head
or clerk of a government department,
TO lecture for pay. other than actual
hotel and travelling expenses, and to
prohibit Senators or Representatives
from lecturing for pay while CongresS
is i'll session. Offenders would be fined
$4,000 imprisoned for two years
or suffer both penalties
Mr.. Britten launched q broadside in
q statement accompanying his bill. In
which he spared no political party and
included Senator La Toilette and Rep
resentative Murdock. He said:
This bill was prepared last Sep
temher but was not introduced when
Secretary Bryan formally declared that
he would lecture no more during the
period. The recent announcement from
Philadelphia that several members OF
Congress and the distinguished Secrc
ta"y of State had signed contracts for
n period of lecturing beginning July
/, Is responsible for my bill.
NO TIME FOR SECRETARY
To RE HIKING AROUND
"I am at loss to understand how
the secretary can consistently leave his
office when Il state OF war practically
exists between this country and McXi
co. and the foreign policy of our gov
ernmcnt is being laughed at by every
civilized nation on earth. This GER
tainiy Is no time for Mr.. Bryan to be
hiking around tl,c country doing one
night stands with Tyrolean yodlers
contortionists and sleiGht of-hand art :.
lists, and | am equally opposed to mem
bers OF Congress doing this sort of
thing when Congress Is in session.
"'rhe Philadelphia announcement de-
clared that Secretary Bryan, Senator
La Toilette and Congressman Murdoch
had signed contracts for lectures be
ginning July /. Speaker Clark last
year cancelled contracts at loss to
him. of $4,000 on account of his aver
sion To being away from Congress. 1
purpose to ask the House Judiciary
Committee for n hearing with Il view
TO some action along this line"
Secretary Bryan announced some
time ago that all his lecture engage
mcnts for the coming summer were
contingent upon the state of foreign
affairs and whether he could be absent
from Washington.
