Support of Administration
Established as Fall Cam
paign Issue
President No Dictator
Detractors of Nations Head
Called Serious ENEMY of
the Republic"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Represen-
tative Ferris, of Oklahoma, Democratic
Congressional Committee Chairman,
addressed the House to-day on the
achievements of the Administration in
the war. He spoke of references to
President Wilson as a dictator. and
declared only "enemies Of the Republic
have made that accusation"
MY answer to this charge is that
it is a SANDER and an untruth," Mr..
Ferris said, "and the man who makes
such charge in war time is a man who
hates his country more than he loves
it, who retards it more than he helps
it, and who worries more about poll
tics and partisan advantage than he
does about the success of the boys at
the front.
"The Constitution lays down the
doctrine that the President of the
United States shall be the commander
in chief of the army and navy. That
commander in chief during war times
should be, an6 Of right is, the COM
lnander in chief in all that the term
applies. His power must be unusual,
farreaching and complete. To have it
otherwise is to subject the Republic to
the only criticism that has ever been
successfully waged against a republ-
can form of government, which is that
a republic governed by the consent of
the governed during the hour of great
stress cannot quickly assemble itself
for purposes of defence.
"The only way successfully to COM
bat this charge is in time of war quick
ly to give the Chief Executive full
power to act, and to act without con-
Quoting a debating society while the
enemy of the country is at the gates"
Mr.. Ferris reviewed in detail the ac-
complishments Of the army and navy
and the industrial branches of the gov
eminent.
"Can there be anything about this
achievement that will make Democrats
ashamed of their democracy or make
Republicans ashamed of their coun-
try" he asked. II prefer to believe
that Republicans and Democrats every
where will prefer to stand behind and
encourage the public officers and the

Time for Final Blow
Says Cecil, Urging
Pooling of Tonnage
Allies Told Everything Must
Be Centralized to Make
Victory Certain

LONDON. Sept. 2.-Lord Robert Cecil
Assistant Secretary Of State for For
eign Affairs, at dinner tonight ccle-
brating the conclusion Of the delibera-
tons of the Allied Marine Transport
Council in London, made an important
announcement respecting the pooling
of Allied shipping. He also alluded to
the pooling of Allied food supplies
and of Allied munitions. Incidentally,
Lord Robert paid warm tribute to
Walter Hines Page, the retiring Ameri-
| can Ambassador to the Court Of St.
James, who, he said, had done SO much
to assist the Allied cause.
The following are salient passages
from his speech:
"The Allied Maritime and Transport
Council was established last December
grown and it's organization has been
completed, but its central principle
remains what it always was, the neces-
sity of Allied control for Allied sup
plies.
Time for Final Blow
eve have seen lately much to cheer
us. But that is no reason for dimin-
ished effort, but rather for increased
effort. Now is the time to strike q
definite and final blow at our enemies.
AS far as the actual fighting is con-
ccrned. that is in other hands, and in
hands which give us no anxiety. We
have profound confidence in our armies
and our commanders.
ain order to feed our armies, apart
from our civil population, we have to
pool all our resources, we must bring
together the whole economic strength
of our allies. The accomplishment of
that task is not SO easy.
"Now. speaking as an Englishman, I
am quite confident that some of our
allies have suffered more than others
We have not had to undergo the ordea
of invasion. | agree most fully that in
many respects the sutferings Of France
and Italy, not to speak of the smaller
allies, such as Belgium, have been
greater than our own, greater thar
those of our friends in America. Blu
that makes all the more necessary the
pooling of our resources. If our sac
ritices ere to be in a degree equal the
only solution is common Allied control
of all the resources of the Allies.

"The key of Allied control is Allied
shipping. But, though it is of the
greatest Importance that you should
have common Allied control of ship.

we'll that everybody should know, ever
that our enemies should know, how
much we have done: The best example
Of our efforts in the matter of Alice
need and supply has been the wheat

Not many months ago there were many
of us who were feeling deep anxiety

will naturally supply itself from the
large stores of much cheaper wheat
now IN the Southern Hemisphere, and
therefore the government is under
taking risk which might in such an
event result in a national loss. of as
much 'hs $500000,00O through an I'M
saiable surplus; or. in any event, in

Must Assure Supply
despite this, the desirability of
assuring supply to the world of
prime breadstuffs by insuring the
farmer against the fluctuations in
prices that would result from the
uncertainties of the present situa-
ton and from the speculation those
uncertainties entail seems to me to
make the continuation Of the guar
antee for another year desirable.
On the other hand, it is clear that
before increasing this liability by
leyge sums with the risks set forth
above and before increasing the
burden of the consumer the matter
should be subjected to searching in

consumer will be satisfied that his
interests are not unduly sacrificed,

May Be Keynote Speech
Mr.. Ferris's speech was given close
attention in the House, as it was key
note declaration for the fall campaign.
He said Republicans and Democrats
we're working alike for success in the
greatest war of all times, and cited the
fact that an eminent Republican, Elihu
Root, had headed the most delicate Of
foreign missions, the mission to Russia,
and that former President Taft and
Charles E. Hughes had been chosen for
important war work.
Among other Republicans in the AID
ministration, he mentioned Charles NJ.

Phillips, Assistant Secretaries Rowe and
Leffingwcll Of the Treasury Depart
ment, Solicitor Woolsey Of the State

Fuel Administrator Garfield and Food

Representative Longworth, of Ohio,
challenged the classification of DR.. Gar
field as Republican. He said DR..
Garfield is not Republican and that
he is strong supporter of Presiden.
Wilson. Representative Madden, of
Illinois, Republican, said that whether
Herbert Hoover was Republican or a
Democrat his appointment as Food Ad-
ministrator was a very meritorious one.
