CONGRESS TO BLAME
FOR BURLES0N, SAYS
B0RAH'S STATEMENT
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Blame
for much Of the severe criticism OF
Postmaster General Burleson was
placed upon congress today by Sena-
tor Borah, of Idaho, republican. who
in statement said the postmaster
general is only exercising the laws
which congress- passed conferrtng
drastic and unlimited powers under
the guise of war powers. The best
remedy, the senator said, would be for
congress to repeal these laws.
Congress has granted Mr.. Burle-
son." Senator Borah said, unlimited,
underlined, drastic and arbitrary pow
ers; granted them in violation of the
most fundamental and cherished prin-
ciples of free government. We grant
ed these powers under the gu1se OF
war necessity but no necessity exist
ed for any such grant Of powers. War
upon the part Of a republic never
necessitates the sacrifice OF the funda-
mental principles upon which the re-
public is organized.
HE is not exercising any authority
not within the provisions OF the law
which congress passed. If he is ex-
ercising it arbitrarily how did con-
gress expect arbitrary laws to be exc
cuted except in an arbitrary way. II
he is exercising that power despotical-
ly how did congress expect the laws to
be executed except in a despotic way.
They are cruel, arbitrary and at war
with every principle of free govern
ment and should be repealed.
For Mr.. Burleson to be dismissed
and to leave these laws upon the
statute books would indeed be a
traversty. If we do not want arbitrary
power exercised in this country the
law making body is the body to appeal
to and not to some administrative Of
ficer
