A Strong and Confident France
lFrom the New York SUM-

On his arrival in France Newton d
Baker the American Secretary OF War,
could have still heard the, echoes Of
Premier Clemenceau's speech IN the
French Chamber Its note OF defiance
to the enemies OF the republic and its
expression OF his own determination
and that Of the nation to continue
the war to the last quarter Of an hour"
must have given an assurance Of the
faith OF the French and the outcome
Of the struggle.
Clemenceau, more than any other Pre-
mer that France has nad since the war
began, expresses the spirit Of France,
that spirit OF determination which gives
strength TO the French line ana which
made possible the victory OF the Marne
and the repulse Of overwhelming Ger
man force at Nerdun. The bravery
Of the French people and the sound
ness OF their national integrity have
never been questioned. The weakness
has been political Four war Cabinets

system was TO concentrate power In a

high ability.
The President has taken q position
Of uncompromising hostility TO a war
board in any form. So long as he has
a majority In Congress II is futile TO

Give the President a free hand. and
then In six or eight months from now
the nation will be able to judge the
results. 10 should be clearly under
stood &C seems strangely unknown
that practically all the vast powers OF
the President, not merely those which
have been added In the last year, but
long antecedent to that, are purely a
Congressional enactment.
The constitutional powers OF the
President arc small
For example, the entire Cabinet and
the whole of the huge administrative
machinery Of the government are wholly
a creation Of acts Of Congress. These
could all be swept away, or changed
without the Presidents consent by a
concurrent vote Of two-thirds Of each
house.
We could, for example, introduce the
English or French parliamentary sys-
tenn, OF a Cabinet selected by one OF
the other party leaders and responsible
solely to the House Of Representatives
or to Congress as a whole at any time
II would require only time TO prepare
the bills and secure their enactment b!

- OBLIGATION Of the specific provisions OF the bill

Of Delawareans serious question whether it would be
wise even in these days to place in the hands Of
nine men so selected the unprecedented powers which
the bill seeks to confer upon them. And those same
Deawareans are OF the opinion that the Legislature
should not pass the bill until it has been amended so as
to ourta the powers Of the council industrious and
loyal citizens and give to them the right of appeal to
prevent manifest acts Of injustice.
The act proposes that every male resident OF this
