BELIEVES IN VISITING
 PRESIDENT WITH POWERS
Senator James E.. Watson of Indiana Says There is No Cause For Alarm.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 26.-Dehlar- ing there is no cause for alarm in con- ferring vast powers on President Will son for war purposes, Senator James p. Watson, republican, of Indiana, in an address before the Manufacturers association here tonight said the only danger would be in failing to limit this power to the period of the war
 ~Many are alarmed lest we drift in 10 autocracy," said the senator, 'but very much depends upon the presi : dents intention in asking the power and the length of time for which it is bestowed. If we confine the term and operation of this authority to the pe- riod of the war. there is no just cause for alarm. But if we confer it for periods long after the war, then there Is grave cause fer apprehension.
 This bestowal of power upon tho president in war time and for war purposes Is not only not dangerous, but may be and much of it is neces- sary, But to bestow this authority upon him now and expressly provide that it shall continue long after the war Is. over. is precisely the same as if he. lad sought this great authori- ty long before the war began"
 Senator Watson declared tfa. not withstanding the fears of many people the constitrItion is still in force and the president holds his position by virtue of its provisions. He said the congress that congress had conferred no additional power upon the presi- dent as chief of the army and navy. The only additional power which had been conferred. he explained, was that concerned with the industrial life of the nation.
