ing now. The Congress is more de-
finitely united in thought and purpose
at this moment, 1 venture to say, than
it has been within the memory Of
any man now in it's membership. There
is not only the most united patriotic
purpose but the objects members have
in view are perfectly clear and definite.
But the Senate cannot act unless it's
leaders can obtain unanimous consent.
Its majority is powerless, helpless. In
the midst of a crisis of extraordinary
peril, when only definite and decided
action can make the nation safe, or
shield it from war itself by the aS-
gression of others, action is impos-
sible.
Although, as a matter of fact, the
nation and the representatives OF the
nation stand back of the legislative
branch with unprecedented unanlmity
and spirit, the impression made
abroad of course will be that it is not
so, and that other Governments may
act as they please without fear that
this government can do anything at
all. We cannot explain. The eXplana-
ton is incredible.
"The Senate of the United States is
the only legislative body in the world
which cannot act when its majority Is
ready for action. A little group of
wilful men representing no opinion
but their own. have rendered the great
