submitted to Congress, entitled
Powers Of the President to Send the
Armed Forces Outside the United
States. dated February %, 1851,
which was printed, though not en-
dorsed, by the Joint Committees on
Foreign Relations and Armed Serv.
ices Of the Senate.
In effect, the document asserts
that whenever. in his opinion, Amer
lean foreign policy requires he may
send troops to any point whatso-
ever in the world, no matter what
the war in which the action may in.
volve us. The document also claims
that in sending armed forces to
carry out a treaty the President
does not require any statutory au-
thority whatever. and it does not
recognize the difference between a
self-eXecuting treaty and one which
requires, even by its own terms, con.
gressional authority.
Sweeping CIoims
1t ends with the most sweeping
claims for power:
LAS this discussion of the respec-
tive powers Of the President and the
Congress in this field has made
clear, constitutional doctrine has
been largely nodded by practical
necessities. Use of the Congression-
al power to declare war, for exam
pie, has fallen into abeyance be-
cause wars are no longer declared
in advance. The Constitutional pow
er of the Commander in Chief has
been exc cised more often,
because the need for armed
t a tiona action has
grown more acute. The long delays
occasioned by the slowness Of COM
munications in the eighteenth CEN
tury have given place to breath
taking rapidity in the tempo of his
tory. Repelling aggression in Korea
or Europe cannot wait upon Con-
gresSiOnal debate However, while
the need for speed and the growth
in the size and complexity of the
armed forces have enlarged the
area in which the powers Of the
Commander in Chief are to be WELD
ed, the magnitude of present-day
military operations and internation-
al policies requires a degree Of Con-
gressional support that was unnec-
essary in the days of the nineteenth
century"
That seems a very gracious con-
cession to Congress. Congress no
longer has any power to act. It is
simply given the right to support the
President after the President has
acted.

BABSON Discusses Recent Stock Market Breaks

BABSON PARK, Fla, March THE 1851 dollar
is worth only 38 cents when compared with the 1913
dollar of 100 cents World War l imitation brought
the 1913 dollar down to so cents in 1920 Post-Word
War l dehatiOn took it back to 50 cents while the
depression of the hrties raised the value to 79 cents
in 1888. TOdays dollar is worth only SO cents when
compared with the 1889 dollar What caused these
changes is beginning to bother Wall Street.
THE CHEAPENING DOLLAR
The present downward cycle of the dollar start
ed in 1888 when President Roosevelt deprecated the
dollar by lowering its gold content, in order to try
to drive prices up in the depression The Gold Re-
serve Act of 1884 cheapened the dollar by 4196 At
that time the dollar worth approximately IS
cents when compared with the 100 cent dollar of
1913. World War II accelerated imitation through
high wages, strong demand for goods and services
and the shortage of such goods and services. Fur
thermOre, the pOst-World War II era, characterized
by its shortages of goods and buying scares cOntin
ued the spiral.
Two major contributing factors undermining the
postwar dollar are labor unions and price support.
Through continued pressure labor leaders have been
making wage demands in excess of an increase in
the work output per man-hOur Price supports have
been such that in 1850, when in the midst
of boom, only six out of seventeen support crops
were selling above parity. These supports are
dermining the dollar because they strike at food
prosperity is one of "make-beeve."

He Hos Wide Powers

OF course, the President has wide
powers in foreign policy, but the
trainers Of the Constitution provided
expressly that only Congress could
do certain things. Those powers are
expressed in Section Of Article /.
Of course, Congress is given the
power, and the exclusive power
ITO declare war, grant letters of
marque and reprisal, and make
rules concerning captures on land
and water.
ITO raise and support armies,
but no appropriation of money to
that use shall be for a longer term
than two years."
That reflects a certain and def
mite suspicion Of a possible desire
on the part Of some President to set
up a great permanent military
force. Further powers Of Congress
as stated in Section 8:
''To provide and maintain a navy.
ITO make rules for the govern
ment and regulation Of the land and
naval forces"
There are other powers, such as
calling forth the militia and dis
ciplining the militia.

Power to Muke Treaties

The Constitution also provides that
the President shall have the power
to make treaties, but only by and
with the advice and consent Of the
Senate, provided two thirds of the
Senators present concur. The Presi-
dents relationship to the armed
forces is stated only in Section 2 of
Article II of the Constitution:
''The President shall be Com
mander in Chief Of the Army and
Navy Of the United States :"
There is one very definite limit
and think it is admitted by every
responsible authority who has dis
cussed the problem-on the Presi.
dents power to send troops abroad:
he cannot send troops abroad If the
sending Of such troops amounts t.
the making Of war.
Most of the cases which have
been cited as authority for the
President sending troops abroad are
cases where the use of our troops
was limited to the protection OF
American citizens or Of American
property.
NEXT WEEK: Senator Taft
tells why he believes the Presi-
dent exceeded his power when
he sent troops abroad TO join the
European army under General
Eisenhower.

Quite often I think of a quo
tation which seems to smooth the
hecticness of daily life for me
like a lucky piece would. Dis
raeli once said, Life is too short
to be little"
Not long ago a friend of mine
spent pretty bad "a hours. Her
doctor thought that she might
have cancer. After an examina-
ton. a specialist relieved her mind
of this fear but she told me some
thing of her reactions before she
knew she did not have cancer.
Her thoughts ran like this:
How terrible it is the way we
waste life! How small all of the
things I have been worrying about
seem now. If do not have can
Ger I have no problems at all. ]
don't know why ! was sputtering
about all of those things anyway
They really are not important.
If I miss this hazard I will
thank God for every single day
and get up in the morning sing
ing, and never criticize any one
again and try to return this favor
with a rich happy spirit which
will tighten life for others"
Unless something scares us
badly we are likely to spend our
energy in such humdrum, dam
aging. and dreary ways. Look
ing back from the vantage point
of a real danger to ourselves or to
some one we love. how foolish our
little prides seem, our sensitive
ness. our jealousy. our bad humor! !!
We think. How much more hap
piness I will get from life and how
much more happiness I will give
