in the memory of any men now
in its membership. There is
not only the most united pat
riotic purpose, but the objects
members have in view are per-
fectly clear and definite. But
the Senate cannot act unless its
leaders can obtain unanimous
consent. It's majority is power
less, 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 aggression of others action
is impossible.

thorized the further statement
that what rendered the situa-
tlon even more grave than it had
been supposed that it was, was
the discovery that, while the
President under his general con-
stltutional powers could do
much Of what he had asked
the Congress to empower him to
do, it had been found that there
were certain old statutes, as yet
unrepealed which may raise in
superable practical obstacles
and may nulIify his power.

Text of the Presidents State
ment to the Public

ASSNShS OeotS
ment to the Public
Washington, March a, 1917.
The termination of the last
session Of the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress by constitutional limita-
ton disclosed a situation unpar-
alleled in the history of the
country, perhaps unparalleled in
the history of any modern gov
eminent. In the immediate
presence of a crisis fraught with
more subtle and far-reaching
possibilities of national danger
than any other the Government
has known within the whole his
tory of its international rela-
tons, the Congress has been I'M
able to act either to safeguard
the country or to vindicate the
elementary rights of its citizens.
More than 500 of the 531 mem
bers of the two houses were
ready to act the House of Rep
resentatives had acted, by an
overwhelming majority but the
Senate was unable to act be-
cause a little group of eleven
Senators had determined that it
should not.
The Senate has no rules by
which debate 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 physi-
cal endurance. The result in this
case is a complete paralysis alike
of the legislative and of the ex-
ecutive branches of the Govern
ment.
This inability of the Senate to
Act has rendered some of the
most necessary legislation of the
session impossible at a time
when the need of it was press
ing and most evident. The bill
which would have permitted
combinations of capital and of
organization in the export of
trade of the country as the cir
cumstances Of international
competition have made impera-
tive-a bill which the business
Of the whole country
approved and demanded, has
failed. The opposition of one or
two Senators has made it i'm
possible to increase the member
ship Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to give it the alter
organization necessary for
It's efficiency. The Conserva-
lion bill, which should have re-
.eased for immediate use the
mineral resources which are
still locked up in the public
now that their release is
more imperatively necessary
han ever, and the bill which
would have made the unused
water power of the country i'm
available for industry
nave both failed, though they
nave been under consideration

and have been twice

do anything at all. We cannot
explain. The explanation is in
credible. The Senate of the
United States is the only legis-
lative body in the world which
cannot act when its majority is
ready for action. A little group
of willful men, representing no
opinion save their own, have
rendered the great Government
of the United States helpless 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. | be-
lieye that the Senate can be re-
lied on to supply the means of
action and save the country
from disaster.

ITALY TO LIMIT DOMINATION
Can Gain No Advantage by Undue Ex.
pansion on Eastern Shores Of
nAdriatc, Declares Writer.

It is, of course, evident that Italy
has no advantage to gain from an I'm.
due expansion Of her territorial hold.
ings on the eastern shores Of the Ad-
Ratio, Guglielmo Ferrero writes in the
Atlantic. Here the Italian population
lives only on the coast, or near it, and
for this reason Italy cannot spread
ner domination far into the interior
without mourning the risk Of coming
into serious and severe conflict with
the subject Slavic population, or with
those Slavic states which will be In a
position to intervene in their defense.
Italian mastery Of the eastern coast
would therefore be limited to q thin
littQral strip Of land, and one need not
be great strategist to understand
what disadvantage it would be for
Italy to have to defend a long line of
frontier few dozen kilometers from
the coast, behind which Would lie a
vast hinter1and occupied by people
seething with discomfort at being cut
off from the sea.
If Italy, then, does not wish to be-
come involved in long and arduous
wars for the conquest Of this hinter-
land, her purposes will be best served
by reducing to a minimum her terri
torial annexation on the further shore
Of the Adriatic.

in his prayer this morning!"

pet? questioned his mother.
HE said, oh, Lord, we thank thee
