 Washington Safssu -as Ass- hss


 Washinston, April 12.--tspeciaio The Presidents message which rambled all the way from world peace to lynching is uniforinIy app proved by republican members of Congress. The criticism of demo- crats is mild, but of telling char acter, nevertheless.
 It is the concensus of democratic opinion that the Presidents recom- mendation that n white nnd black commission be named to study lynching md report . remedy, was not only unwise, hut more or less ridiculous. There was criticism, too, of his peace programme, and his approval of innumernble meas ures carrying Appropriations while urging at the same time rigid economy. Regarding lynching, Senator Heflin of Alabama and Representative Crisp of Georgia ex- pressed themselves.
 ABSOLUTELY SILLY"
 His proposal is absolutely silly" said Mir. Crisp. "Howeyer, I will read the message carefully before going more fully into details,' said Senator HefIin. "His suggestion that Congress pass federal stat ute for the punishment of Iynch- ink is in direct conflict with the right of the stntes. Every state in the union is competent to and. in the main, does enforce it's criminal laws. There is only one way under the sun to prevent lynchinE. and thnt is to remove the unspeakable crime that causes lynchfng.
 "Some of the statements of the President were very goOd," snid MT. Crisp. @His message as whole wns we'll sounding, and platitudi- nous. His recommendations were lacking in specific remedies for evils. wns disappointed that he refrained from urging legislation

 the back as she turned to rum Death was instantaneous.

 Representative Byrne~ of south Carolina, criticised the messase for It's apparent contradftion in urging appropriat tions and at the same time retrenchmenf of expenditures.
 CONTRADICTORY
 .'I cannot understand.- said he, "how the Congress can follow the recommendations of the President regarding the passage of innumer- nbIe bills carrying nppropriat tions. and act in accordance with his very first suggewtion--thnt is. retrench and econOmixe."
 Democrats found very little snt- isfnction in the President's position regarding the League of Nations. In that respect. Senator Harrison of Mississippi said,
 q wonder how the abatement of the Pre~ident affects those inde- pendents, pro-league republicans, and republican leaders who told us during the campaign that the easiest wny to enter the league was to elect Harding. That question might be propounded to Charles F. Hughes, Herbert Hoover, Charles Wfckersham, and William H. Taft"
 Representative oliver of Ala bama was sorely disappointed at the attitude of the President In re- spect to the peace programme.
