Executive Demands Defeat Of
Senate Inquiry Resolution
Offered BY Chamberlain.
WOULD MEAN OlS7RUST
Author of Resolution Declared Willing
To Limit Scope of investigation
:. To Aircraft Branch of War
Activities.

Washington, May 17.-President
Wilcon has sent a letter to Senator
T. S. Martin of Virginia, Democratic
leader in the Senate, declaring he
would regard passage of the Cham
berlain resolution calling for an in
vestigation OF aircraft and other war
activities as direct vote OF want
of confidence in the administrator
and an attempt by congress to take
over conduct OF the war.
II deem it my duty to say" the
presidents letter said, that l should
regard the passage of this resolution
as direct vote of want OF confidence
in the administration. The purpose
which it undoubtedly expresses has
been, expressed again and again In
various forms during the present ses-
sion. and has always seemed to orig
mate in a rooted distrust of the gov
eminent.
Functions Clearly Defined.
"Those executive functions are
very clearly understood. They have
been defined both by the constitution
and by long experience and no one
can doubt where the responsibility
for them lies or what the methods
are by which thoce who are respons-
!ble can be held to their duty.
"Such activities on the part of a
particular committee OF the senate
as this resolution would look forward
to would constitute nothing less than
an attempt to take over the conduct
of the war, or at the least to super
intend and direct and participate in
the executive conduct of it as to in
terfere in the most serious way with
the action of the constituted execu-
tive. .".
Calls for Support. ..
II protest most earnestly against
the adoption of any such action and
shall hope that every senator who in
tends to support the present admin
istration in the conduct of the war
will vote against it. These are SER
tous times and it is absolutely neces-
sary that the lines should be clearly
drawn between friends and oppon.

PROTESTS ARE POURING IN
Shippers Protest Increase in Pasen-
ger and Freight Rates. =

Washington, May 17.-Many pro-
tests against the railroad admins
tration's contemplated increase of
freight and passenger rates, without
first giving opportunity for review
have come from shippers. -
Most of them indicate that they
will not object seriously to mater
ial raising of rates, since they real
ize that the necessity of paying high
er wages and higher prices for sup
plies and materials must be followed
By augmented reviews from opera
tons.
