DR.. Walsh Favors
Cabinet QUESTIONING
in Congress Sessions
Policy Would Provide
Answers for General
Welfare, He Soys

In his second lecture on American
diplomacy last night DR.. Edmund A..
Walsh, S. j., vice president Of
Georgetown University, suggested
that as matter of war and peace
policy, cabinet members should have
seat in Congress so they might be
asked "such questions as affect the
common welfare and even the lives
and destinies of millions"
Dr. Walsh said matters of "ex-
treme deicacy involving foreign
governments" could be reserved for
executive sessions or deferred for
special treatment. He had in mind
the question hour" of the British
Parliament rather than the practice
in vogue in France where votes Of
confidence are demanded.
BY giving cabinet members, par
ticularly the Secretary of State, the
privilege of seats or chairs in Con-
gress, DR.. Walsh said that peace
and war, national policy and for
eign relations might well receive
both the commendation they often
deserve and the check they some
times merit before proceeding too
far.
DR.. Walsh said "a grave respon-
sibility rests on the shoulders of
the Chief Executive, to whom
American diplomacy is directly an
swerable under the letter and spirit
of the Constitution. Should he or
any other official seek to advance a
party purpose by dangerous means, -
the educator added, ''he should be
as readily and publicly denounced
as any opposition which would seek
to obstruct his legitimate preroga-
tives for party profit.
THE question Immediately arises
who is to judge?" he went on.
DR.. Walsh addressed a large au-
dience in Memorial Continental
Hall, beginning in the second of
his series an analysis of Soviet and
American diplomacy. The former,
he said, is "once again vital in the
great equation of world forces, as
the Moscow commissars have
dropped the always transparent
veil of pretended pacificism and
frankly taken the road of unpro-
voked aggression"
He described the diplomatic
branch of the American Govern
ment as the first line of defense
against the chastlv conf1a grafton
now creeping mile by mile across
the continent of Europe 1T is no
time for any one to sneak up and
cut the hose with which they are
fighting the fire." he added. THAT
hose is confidence"
The lecture series is being given
under the auspices Of the School of
Foreign Service, of which DR.. Walsh
is regent.
