HARDING Will
NOT RESORT TO
THE BIG STICK
Continued from First Page.)

United States can become all DOW
erful in an emergency. brush aside
constitutional obstacles and gain
the desired objective-the mainte-
nance OF normal transportation and
the production of an adequate SUD-
ply Of fuel.
It's true that since the crisis
began some Of the ardent sticklers
for a literal Interpretation of the
Constitution have seen the emery
ency grow steadily worse and
among members of congress the
view is beginning to take hold that
If the president asks for blanket
authority to deal with the indus
trial crisis he can get it and the
constitutional obstacles will be
brushed aside with the same spirit
of public necessity as was the case
during the war when in senatorial
debate some senator's went so far
as to say the constitution itself is
suspended in time Of public dis
tress.
Harding Right, Critics Say.
Strangely enough as Mr.. Hard
ing's policies in the coal strike and
rail situation are reviewer by the
critics-and they are not partisans
but members of the presidents own
group in the senate-there is a
more or less uniform belief that
Mr.. Harding proceeded along the
right lines in his efforts at media
ton and Cancellation but that he
did not intervene at the psychology
ical moment and waited too long
between moves. 1t is suggested, for
instance. that when the shopmen
accepted the presidents three pro-
posals and the rail executives ap-
proved two Of them, several days
went-by without decisive action
from the White house. The better
course, it is being said, would have
been to summon the rail executives
to Washington at once and work
out the COMPROMISE ON the spot
which is apr lrently being worked
out now afttt q week has passed
and the situation on the roads,
especially in the west, has grown
worse. Mr.. Harding doesn't pretend
to be omniscient or gifted with pre-
vision. He feels he has done the
best he could do In trying situa-
ton and that coercion and threats
would not lave ameliorated but az
gravated II disputants.
