bly, cannot be prevented without III
fringement of the constitutional right
Of freedom of speech. 1t is better TO
endure the evils of unrestrained prOpa-
ganda than TO stitle free speech. The
only sane remedy for propaganda is
eXpOsure-full and fair publicity.
THE fallacy that discomfort may be
removed by additional legislation finds
its counterpart in the suggestion that
our legislative system may be i'm
proved by giving TO cabinet members
the right to participate in congress
sionaI debates.
THE division of the legislative, eX-
ecutive, and judicial functions into
separate coordinate departments is a
wholesome provision of the COnstitu-
ton. This valuable principle of gov
eminent would be threatened. If not
destroyed, by any change which would
confuse and commingle the legislative
and executive functions. The argu-
ment advanced in support of such
change is that it would promote har-
mOny by providing the congress full
Information concerning the opinions
and motives of the executive. Anyone
familiar with the congressional pro-
cedure rejects this argument as utterly
faIlacious. The President by address
can furnish the congress any informa-
ton in his possession. He may advise
what action he deems necessary in the
public interest. The committees and
houses of congress now call upon the
executive departments for information
concerning matters within their re-
Spective jurisdictions. 1t is true that
frequent and sometimes bitter differ
ences have arisen betw cen the Presi-
dent and the congress, but these differ
ences usually have not been due to lack
of mutual understanding. They have
uniformly grown out of opposing view
points. The admission to congress
sional debates of cabinet members
would divert their attention from the
important and intricate details of ex-
ecutive duties and convert them into
legislative agents. The President in
evitably would be committed in ad-
vance by his ministers TO the approval
or rejection of measures which our
scheme of government contemplates
shall be passed upon by him with an
independent mind. The congress would
be subjected to executive influences,
and the result would be either subor-
dination of the legislative mind to the
executive will or hopeless and irrec-
oncilable conflict between the two.
Whatever may have caused present
conditions land whoever may be to
blame for them, participation of cab
met members in the business of con-
gress will not constitute an effective
remedy.
