There has hccn an Increasing

For this increasing shortage there
are several reason.. Foremost il

4 Lively Row Ahead

NY/HEN President Harding at the outset
w or his administration announced that
Congress would be given free hand in legis-
iation, with executive interference with its
decisions to be scrupulously withheld, he
imagined this amiublo attitude would in
fluence fine degree OF harmonious cooper
alton between the two branches Of the gov
eminent in the enactment of legislation TO
which the party is committed But after
twelve months Of self-imposed executive re-
straint he has been rudely awakened az to
the fatility of that policy OF abncgatiOn.
His known views as to legislation have been
treated with positive contempt. Congress
has taken the bit in its own mouth so to
speak, and in respect to matters. OF real
legislative Importance is doing nothing In
its own way. In such measures as II mani
tests an active interest in passing it shows
determination TO disregard the public in
terest in a mad purpose to influence the conf
ing congressional elections in favor of the
present membership.
Not only that but under the working OF
the Presidents plan of nonint erlcrence with
it, deliberations, the House has actually nm
dertaken TO usurp some OF the powers of the
president as commandcrin-chie Of he army
and navy Under the army Appropriation
bill reported out, not only is the size of the
army reduced TO point far below the re-
Guirements for national safety, but there Is
provision in the bill which is designed to
regulate the distribution OF the army. This
provision specifies that no part of the ap-
preparation for pay OF the army shall be
USED, except in time OF emergency. for the
payment Of troops garrsoned ut certain
points above stipulated number. This
means that the administration would be
compelled on or before July to withdraw
all the troops on the Rhine leaving only
about 500 officers and enlisted men In
France TO finish certain necessary work The
limitation, if adopted. will require the re-
turn of approximately $500 enlisted mon
from the Hawaiian Islands, 1000 from the
Canal Zone, 5000 from Germany and 600
from China, making n total OF II, 100 TO be
returned to the United States
This attempt by the Legislative branch
OF the government to usurp the powers OF
the executive branch by making use of its
control Of the purse strings has greatly
1ncensed the President. and il is snid he
has fully made up his mind to force a
showdown with Congress- not only on this,
but on other issues in pending measures
tion are at wide variance. In Other words.
the President has discovered that if tho
policies OF his administration are not to
he totally wrecked, he must assume the
leadership Of his party, seize the big stick
and club the majority into doing his bidding.
In so far us meeting the partys promises
to legislate In the public interest is con-
cerned. Evidently. there is the prospect OF
lively row ahead between the President
and Congress
