Disagrees With Mr.. Borah.

Senator Cummins of Iowa and Sena-

with Senator Borah Senator Lewis at
tackled the Senate bill provision for a
force of federal volunteers, saying it
was aimed at the National Guard and
would destroy it if enacted. The Hi
nos senator asserted that the ambition
of regular army officers to rise to de-
served promotions was wholly re-
sponsible for the volunteer army pro-
posal. Because the nation was resolved
not to maintain a large standing army,
and since the Constitution barred these
graduates of West Point from COM
mands in the National Guard, he said,
they naturally sought an avenue of
escape from their limitations

Finds Strong Barrier.

During the debate yesterday Senator
Borah of Idaho told the Senate he had
found an insurmountable constitu-
tional barrier against the proposal in
the bill for liberalization of the Ma
tional Guard. He made many legal CT
tations to support his contention that
under the Constitution Congress has no
power to enforce the discipline it has
authority to prescribe. Should any
state refuse to appoint officers or to
train national guardsmen, he said, Con-
gress would be without any recourse
1t could neither provide for the train
ing of the guardsmen itself nor compel
the state to act, and it could not en-
power the President TO appoint officers
or compel the state to appoint them.

When the Senate meets tomorrow it

the present outlook the debate has still

is preparing to carry out the plans of
procedure contemplated by the old COM

that purpose is the installation Of a treat

amount of work that has been accomplish
