Democrats and others who regard the
alienation of the powers and author
ity of Congress to the Executive as
a violation of the Constitution and Q
dangerous precedent. Senator I'm

for six centuries. The Republican
Senate has now for the first time in
the history of the United States
Haunted this principle.

the actual value of the articles in

about one-fourth of this amount. The
most precious of church treasures,
located in some of the historic monas-

value, were not seized. Also many
valuable articles were secreted by
the priests, or stolen before the re-
quisitioners arrived.
