The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1921-08-05

Hon. James G. Cantreil, member OF
.oorress from Kentucky, in speech
aeliyered in that body rceapitulated
~ wonderful achievements of the
nemocratic party which will bear re-
,eat;ng in the Ocala Banner which
v;th unswerving fidelity has held aloft
,he banner of this party because to
~ "a it believes is the part of patriot
lam and good citizenship.
Every utterance made by this Ken
tucky congressman can be verified by
the records.
lis achievements belong to the glory
II the nation and makes one feel
uroud to be an American citizen.
Congressman Cantrell said in part:
aThe Republican party in all of its
campaigns has charged that the Demo
cratic party lacked constructive abil-
ity and was unable to properly con-
duct the government. All fair-minded
people know, of course, that such a
charge is purely for political effect
and that such a charge is contrary
to the history of our country. To call
to mind those fresh in the mem
ory Of the people assert without fear
Of contradiction that during the eight
years of the administration of Wood
row Wilson more constructive legis-
lation in behalf of the people was
written on the statute books of our
Nation than under any previous adj
ministration in our history, and the
substantial achievements brought
about during the eight years Of Demo
cratic control will make up the bright
est pages of our national history.
Under the Wilson administration
the grehtest war in the worlds history
was fought and won Let us not for
set that Woodrow Wilson was com
ma1der in chief of the army and
navy in that great struggle. The
American army and navy brought the
world war to successful conclusion
and secured imperishable fame for the
American republic. The Democratic
administration financed our allies and
came through without a panic and
with the credit of our nation secure
surely In a business way the most
stupendous undertaking in history.
The Democratic party passed the
federal reserve law, which has made
us the debtor nation of the earth.
The Democratic party passed the
federal farm loan law, which enables
the farmer to borrow money on long
eIm notes at a low rates of interest
y order that the farms of our country
m'snt be developed and our food sup
ply made secure.
me Democratic party passed the
underwood tariff law under which
oar nation saw the greatest prosperity
in Its history.

In accordance with his wishes the bill

has been passed by the Senate.
That part OF the committees report
dealing with the expressed wishes of the

through Secretary of State Hughes
reads
"Your committee deems IL proper 70
say that the last as well as the present
Administration. speaking through the
Department OF State. has expressed sp-
proval OF the underlying principle of the
bill, that the power TO deal with the
matter of submarine cable landings and

Secretary of State that in view of the
litigation an emergency of unusual i'm
portance exists and that Congress should
take appropriate action in the premises
at tho earliest convenient moment. He
has so advised the committee.
American cable companies have been

Secretary Hughes has advised Con-
gress that ''an emergency Of unusual
importance exists in the Government s
fight against the proposed landing OF
the Western Union Barbados cable al
Miami, and that therefore It is 'mpera-
tive that undisputed power be given 10
the President by legislative enactment
TO control all cable landings.
This was shown in a report Of the
House Interstate Commerce Committee
on the Kellogg bill giving TO the Pres
ident the power which Mr.. Hughes asks.
1t Is clear the State Department has
determined to make every effort to pre-
vent landing OF the cable and the report
indicates the committee has information
that the company is seeking to bring
the cable up out of the water before the
enactment of the bill.
The company is blocked at present By
the tendency OF a case in the Supreme
Court which win determine whether
before the passage of the kellogg bill
the President had control over cable
landings. The court failed TO announce
its decision on this point yesterday.
1t was reported that the company then
was ready to bring up the cable within
a few hours after a favorable decision.
The court will not meet again until
