1T would not cure the difficulty to

definitely united in thought and pur-
pose at this moment, venture to say,
than it has been within the memory
Of any man now in its membership.
There is not only the most united pa
triotic purpose but the objects men,
bers have in view are perfectly clear
and definite. But the senate cannot
act unless its leaders can obtain un-
animous consent. It's majority is pow
erless, helpless. In the midst of q

definite and decided action can make
the nation safe or shield its from war

Although as matter Of fact the
nation and the Representatives Of the
nation stand back Of the executive
with unprecedented unanimity and
spirit. the impression made abroad
will of course be that 1t is not 80 and
| that other governments may act as
| they please without fear that this gov
eminent can DO anything at ALL We
cannot explain. The explanation is
incredible.
THE senate Of the United States is
the only legislative body in the world
which cannot act when it's majority is
ready for action. A little group of
wilful men representing no opinion
but their own have rendered the great
government Of the United States help
less and contemplate.
THE remedy? There is but one
remedy. The only remedy Is that the
rules Of the senate shall be so altered
that it can act. The country can be
relied upon to draw the moral. I be-
lieve that the senate can be called on
