gress passed comforting drastic and un-
limited powers under the guise of war
powers. Tho best remedy, the senator

fined, drastic and arbitrary powers:
granted them In violation of the most

not within the provisions OF the law
which congress passed.
For Mr.. Burleson to be dismissed
and to leave these laws upon the
statute books would indeed be n traves-
ty. II we did not a arbitrary power
exercised in this country the law-mak-
