"The termination of the last session of the Sixty-fourth Congress by con- stitutionaI limitation closes situa- ton unparalleled in the history of the country, perhaps unparalleled in the history of any modern government. In the immediate presence of crisis frauEht with more subtle and far reaching possibilities of national dan- known within the whole history of it's international relations, the Congress has been unable to act either to safe guard the country or to vindicate the elementary rights of its citizens. More than 800 of the 531 members of the two houses were ready and anxious to act; the House of Representatives had acted, by an overwhelming majority; but the Senate was unable to act be- cause little group of II senators had determined that it should not.
 CANNOT PREVENT TACTICS
 "The Senate has no rules whereby de- bate can be limited or brought to an end no rules by which dilatory tactics of any kind can be prevented. A single member can stand in the way of action if he have but the physical endurance. The re- suit in this case is complete paralysis alike of the legislative and executive branches of the government
 This inability of the Senate to act has rendered some of the most neces- sary legislation of the session impossible at time when the need for it was most pressing and most evident. The bill which would have permitted such combinations of capital and of organization in the ex- port and import trade of this country as circumstances of international competi- tior have made imperatible-a bill which the business judgment of the whole coun- try approved and demanded-has failed.
 The opposition of one or two sena- tors has made it impossible to increase the membership of the interstate com merce commission or to give it the all tered organization necessary for it's ef- ficiency. The conservation bill, which should have released for immediate use

Hours before the end, senators who sought throughout the night to break down the filibuster conceived way to thwart LaFolette's well laid plans to occupy the center of the legislative stage
 at the climax of the bitter fight. Its ex-
 ecution brought the session to a dramatic end, with LaFollette fighting vainly for a chance to deliver speech on which he
 had worked many days. He saw friends of the doomed legislation inflict the death
 blow which he planned.
 Instead of LaFollette. Senator Hitch

 the bill talked out the waning hours of
 the session. Timing his opportunity to the minute. Senator LaFollette entered the Senate chamber shortly after g O. clock
 this morning prepared to take the cen ter of the stage. When the moment he had chosen arrived, he addressed the
 chair, but Senator Hitchcock prevented
 his recognition.
 The forensic struggle which ensued seldom if ever has been equalled in the history of the Senate. Voices were strained to shrieking. threatening lists
 were shaken at the presiding officer, while the crowded floor and galleries looked on brethlessly. But the incident tContinued On Page -swo3

 Tomorrow the, President will take the oath again on the inaugural stand before the capitol, He might have omitted today's ceremony un- der precedents established by other Presidents, but he decided to comply literally with the constitutional stip- ulation that he take office at noon on the. 4th of March.
 MARSHALL NOT SWORN IN
 Vice President Marshall did not take the oath today. He will be sworn in for his second term tomorrow, at the special session of the new Senate with the usual vice presidential inauguration ceremony.
 Tonight the capital, filled with the thou- sands who have come from the four quar- te1s of the nation for the quadrennial event, was a-tiptoe in anticipation of to- morrows demonstration. Although the inaugural was planned by the President s direction to be as simple as the circum- stances would permit, it will not be diff ferent in general character from the usual ceremony.
 As customary, the President, after he has taken the oath and delivered his in- augural address on an open air stand be- fore the capital will ride back to the White House at the head of a parade of many thousands, including the distin- guished of the land. military and naval organizations. and a long line of dele- cations of private citizens.

But the Senate cannot act unless it's leaders can obtain unanimous consent Its majority is powerless, helpless. In the midst of crisis of extraordinary peril ] when only definite and decided action can make the nation safe, or shield it from war itself by the aggression of others, action is impossible.
 "Although as a matter of fact the na- ton and the representatives of the na- | ton stand back of the executive with un- precedented unanimity and spirit. the im- pression made abroad will, of course be that it is not so and that other govern ments may act as they please without fear that this government can do any
