acts as president only in case OF
death, disability or resignation OF the
chief executive, and added:
mo provision is made 'tor the
presidents absence from the terri
torial limits of the United States.
When this proposed visit is made
soon after December 2, the White
House will be transferred ottlcially
to Paris, France.
There will be left the supreme
court-when it convenes-and the
senate and the house will remain.
but the executive will be transferred
to Europe, where it will remain a
considerable time
Referring again to the presidents
trip to France, Senator Sherman
said:
There must be some reason tor
his going abroad. | cannot myself
see any necessity for the visit. We
are left to the tender mercies OF a
censored cable. Passports denied,
cables controlled and Creel sits as
imperial dictator at the source OF
action"
Regarding passport restrictions,
Senator Sherman said he doubted
if even a senator could secure one.

Senator Kellogg Of Minnesota,
republican, declared the action was
part of plan to establish perma-
rent ownership of telegraph, tele-
phone and cable wires.
Immediately after Senator Kel.
logg's statement, Senator Lewis OF
Illinois, democratic whip, introduced
resolution proposing permanent
government ownership of tele-
graphs, telephones, ships, railroads
and other public utilities.
1T demonstrates beyond all
question that there never was war
necessity" Senator Kellogg said, of
the taking over of the cables.
Senator Cummins of Iowa asked
whether the plan of the president
to visit Europe might not'present an
emergency that had something to
do with the assumption of the cable
lines.
Il cannot see," Senator Kellogg
replied, "how the presidents visit
can in any way have made an ex-
cuse for taking over the cable
lines"
The Minnesota senator recalled
that when the wire control resolu-
ton was before the senate, Senators
Underwood of Alabama and Lewis
of Illinois, whom he described as
administration spokesman, assured
the senate that there then was no
present war emergency.
Protests from President Mackay
OF the Commercial Cable company
against the cable order was pre-
scented by Senator Kellogg, who
said that government operation of
telegraphs and telephones had
caused increased costs to the pub
