who was at one time chairman Of the
House judiciary committee, before
which these hearings are being con-
Quoted. The four authorities differed
widely in their Interpretation of the
inability clause. Gen. Buffers view
was that the Vice President was the
proper person to decide when disability
existed. Representative Rogers in his
bill now pending advocates that the
Supreme Court shall be empowered to
dtermine when disability of the ex-
ecutive exists. when requested to do
so by resolution of either house of
Congress. and shall likewise have
power to declare in similar way or
on its own initiative when such dis
ability ceases to exist.

Objections were offered by members
the Supreme Court as such could not
be asked to determine the question
on the request of Congress-, although
its members might be specifically
designated to SO act as individuals in
whom the country would have great
confidence. 1t was shown. however,
that in such a case they might as in
dividuals decline to act-then the
country would be in the same condi-
tion as now.
Mr.. Rogers cited many authorities
to show that the Vice President has
full power to decide the question and
assume the duties Of acting President

precedents, that no Vice President was
likely to take such a step-"unless."
he added, "a President was in a mad
house, and even then I doubt il he
would"
Representative Rogers stated his
belief that it was especially desirable
Congress should have a hand in the
matter, as it would thus ,necessitate
two OF the coordinate branches OF
the government acting in accord. He
called to the attention of the commit
tee instances In England and other
countries where inability Of the ruler
had occurred and that the matter was
settled by action Of two branches Of
government. He agreed with sugges-
tions made by Chairman Voistead of
the Judiciary COMMITTEES that right
to proceed by quo warranto might
solve the problem. and also that q
special court or tribunal might be
created by Congress of judges of the
federal district courts or some other
high judicial body to determine when
disability exists.

HOW AMERICA MISSED
AGREAT OPPORTUNITY
Effort to Achieve Industrial Peace Made
After Psychological Hour Had
Gone By.

agreement but the psychological hour
| had passed. The President called his
| first industrial conference at a time
when the great steel strike was i'm
I pending, when the coal miners were
dissatisfied and talking strike. when
| the railroad brotherhoods were de-
manding government ownership OF
| transportation lines. and when organ
| lied labor generally was in bitter
and resentful mood.
Did Not Open Auspiciously.
The conference. when it finally met
| in Washington. was unwicldy in size
| and unfortunate in it's plan of organi-
J zation. There was labor group and
| an employers group, each bent on ac-
complishing it's own ends and protect
| ing it's own interests. and third
group supposed to represent the pub
| lie. but which was rendered impotent
| by rules requiring the three groups
to agree before any action could be
| taken or pronouncement made.
! The hopelessness of the delibcra-
tions of this body and its dramatic
breaking up still are fresh in the pub
lie mind. Looking back at it now. it
is to be seen that the relations be-
tween capital and labor were made
worse. instead of better. by calling
of the conference.
The commission now about ready to
report was created by President Will
son in an effort to save something out
of the wreck of the former confer
ence. 1t is a small body of very able
and earnest men who are sincerely
desirous of achieving something prac-
tical in the way of betterment of in
dustrial conditions. 1t has met be-
hind closed doors and Its delibera-

monious. There is hope that at the
very least it will evolve fair and
workable plan for the adjustment of

big and impressive way of the ma
chinery necessary to the execution of
the plan.
Promises n Step Forward.
If capital and labor can be brought
with any unanimity to accept the
program Of the commission and avail
itself Of the machinery it is assumed
will be provided. there will have been
taken a long step forward toward re-
ducing the hardships and sufferings
of industrial warfare. But at this day
it is too much to hope that the COM
mission can provide a cure-all for the
Industrial ills from which the nation
Is suffering. 1t will have done well
and rendered a service of inestimable
value If it can prevent present in
dustrial unrest from becoming cpl
demic and a national disaster.

ciliation is set up that proves work.
able and results in approximate JUS
tice to all parties in dispute, the ten
dency, Of course. will be gradually to
lessen the clashes between capital and
labor, to promote efficiency and in
crease production and to make for
general betterment.
But the impulse for a better brother
hood. so strong at the signing of the
armistice. has largely been dissipated
in the clashing of selfish interests.
The opportunity it presented has been
lost, and the processes of peace are
not likely to bring it back again.

question as old as the Con-
stitution itself. one which
was discussed but not decided when
the Constitution was still in embryo.
The question Is how, when and
where presidential inability to per-
form the duties of chief executive
is to be determined. 50 that the terms
of the Constitution may be carried
out by the Vice President assuming
presidential authority during the
period Of disability.
Hearings have been held before
the judiciary committee during the
last two weeks on four bills or reso-
lutions introduced in the House. Out
Of these hearings will come a COM
mittee bill. framed to include the
best ideas in the bills now under
consideration, and based on extensive
study Of the Constitution and the
opinions heretofore rendered on the
subject by the great men of the past
during something like 140 years that
this question has been intermittently
discussed.
The members of the judiciary COM
mittee during the hearings nave
made it very plain that they regard
this matter as of very great I'M
portance and one that should be set
tied right and as soon as possible.
The committee has manifested great
interest in the arguments made by
the authors Of the four measures,
often interrupting by questions or
suggestions which led to broad con-
sideration of the merits or defer
of these SPECIFIC measures and the
entire subject of inability of the
President to function.
These bills and resolutions diner
widely and radically in the methods
proposed, running from the action OF
Congress to a constitutional amend
ment. but the basic purpose and
principle of each is to protect the
limited states from being without
nresidential authority when disabil-
ity exists.
The members who have introduced
these measures all make 1t plain that
they are not aiming at President Will
son, although, Of course. 1t is the
Presidents long illness that caused
this matter to stand out in the fore
ground of legislation. 1t Is doubtful

Representative Macarthur provides

net to determine when such inability
exists.
Representative Madden makes in

Urge Need of Way to Determine
When the President Is Disabled

on the inability clause as rendered
| in the past by members Of the judi
ciary. Because Of this extensive re-
| search work the judiciary committee
heard Mr. Fess at great length. Mem
bers Of the committee made it plain
that they believe his citations of the
eminent authorities will be Of the ut
most value to them in rendering a
report to the House or in framing a
committee bill.
Representative Fess' line Of thought
is as follows: Congress cannot enlarge
the original jurisdiction OF the Su-
preme Court nor can it confer upon
! the Supreme Court non-judicial ques-
| tions. An amendment to the Consti-
tuition will be necessary to confer the
power on the Supreme Court. The
quo warranto proceedings would have
to be instituted by the Vice President
demanding the office of President.
This proceeding is not in accord with
the spirit of the Constitution or laws
ability must be established upon facts
to be presented. which may be con-
hicting. The Vice President, being
an interested party. would not resort
to such proceedings.
On the other hand. Representative
Fess argues, Congress does not have
power under the Constitution to de-
clare disability-first, because it may
not be in session at the time of dis
ability, and as there Is no way to
call it into session, since the Presi-
dent, If he is suffering from disabil-
ity, could not exercise that power;
second, Congress might be of a dif-
executive. which would involve parti-
san action where it might prove Sc
rious: third. the legislative depart
ment, unless expressly authorized by
the Constitution, cannot interfere
with a coordinate department such
as the executive. There is no pro-
vision expressed or inferred deter
mining either the disability of the
President or the tenure of the Vice
President as acting President in case
the disability occurs and is later re-
moved. The only way these ambigui-
ties can be corrected Is through an
amendment setting out who shall de-
clare the disability and to what ex-
tent, Representative Fess concludes.

Representative Rogers took an op-
posite stand. He stated his convic-

SOVIET PLAN IS SCORED
BY FRENCH OF IDAHO
Russian and American Govern
ments Compared at Woman's
Alliance Meeting.

Condemning the soviet form of gov
ernment in Russia, Representative Bur
ton l.. French of Idaho, at meeting
today of the Woman's Alliance, at All
Souls Church, said there is no philoso-
ply by which this form of government
can be made representative.
Mr. French explained how little the
Russian people had to say about the
election for the allRussian congress of
soviets. To make this clear he COM
pared the American form of govern
ment with the soviet system. In Rus
sia, he said. the people elect the head
of their own rural soviet or what would
correspond in this country to precinct
or township. This represents the final
responsibility of the people. as these men
elected vote for the board of alder
men, and SO on up to the all-Russian
congress. In this way, said Mr. French,
the congress Is three times removed
from the vote of the people.
The all-Russian congress of SOW
lets. continued Mr.. French. appoints
committee of 200 from among its
members. In turn this committee
appoints seventeen of its members
to serve in what is called the college.
The member of the college having
the most power becomes the premier
and thus President of Russia. This
makes the President of Russia. who
is supposed to be responsible for the
people, three times removed from the
people of the city and five times re-
moved from the people of the coun-
try.
Mr.. French spoke of college pro-
fessor who had expressed his ap-
proVai of the soviet form of govern
ment. but, after studying the mat
ter. withdrew his approval He also
commended the American Federation
of Labor for adopting a resolution
denouncing that form of government.
A short business session preceded
Mr. French's address, in which vari-
Gus committee chairmen made their
reports.

Make Budget day" said w. W.

committee. "is one of the most impor-
tant of the whole campaign.
There are many persons who go
from week to week without knowing
il they spend less than they earn.
They live in a haphazard manner.
trusting they are within the limits OF
their incomes.
Besides the duty to ones self, it is
the patriotic duty of every American
citizen to make a budget" continued
Mr. Spaid. Every person who works
is in the business of making a living.
The money earned represents time.
energy. efforts and brains. The way
the income is spent shows that value
placed upon ones self. Intelligent
spending will lead to financial inde-
pendence.
The family budget helps one to
have a measuring rod by which to
spend money. Just as the architect
and contractor plan to cut expenses,
SO the head of the family should plan
to save.

being celebrated today in Washing
