. f .r t e signing of bills, thereby
mni; jnotner precedent. He devot
s ,',e to the merchant marine bill
.,S'id ( despite tho fact that there
had been several objections made to It
by the State Department
The bill provldee for a, policy for the
revelopnient of the American merchant
marine.
In spite of assurances by Henator
Underwood (Ala.) that the President
would not call Congress back unless an
emergency arose many of the wear'
members left Washington for the con
ventlnna and for their liomes with the
feeling that Mr. Wilson might summon
them back to Washington very soon for
an extra session.
Incomplete Information on details of
the bill was given at tlm White Hous
for the President's disinclination to net
on the war power repealer. The water
power bill was pe'mlttrd to die because
of opposition which wab presented to the
President by John Barton Payne, Secre
tary of the Interior, who held the pro
visions of the bills would destroy the nn
tlnnul parks.
The Underwood wood pulp commis
sion failed bf cause It did not reach the
White Jlotine In time fdr the President
to act. Official timers of the legislation
as It was rushed by squads of messen
ger to the exccutlvo offices clocked the
arrival of the Underwood refolutlon at
3:60. Just ten minutes before the House
and Senate adjourned,
Oppn.n by Colby.
The merdmnt marine bill carrying the
complete programme for the iperntlon
and sale of the American war built fleet
narrowly escaped a similar fate. P did
not roach tho White Home until 3-3).
Despite the fact that the bill covered
more than seventy pages nnd several of
Its sections were vbrorouily opposed by
the State Department the President af
fixed his signature to tho shipping bill,
p.ppnrently because he considered some
shipping legislation better than none.
In all the President signed more than
100 bills, the majority of them local
measures He spent probably the most
strenuous day since his Illness, tackling
the measures as fast as they came to
him from Congress. In addition to the
merchant marlrte hill the President bp
proved the following general measures:
Tho civil sundry appropriation bill,
army appropriation bill, navy npproprla.
tlon bill, nn net to restore propel ty to
tho wives and families of Americans
married to alien enemies, nn act In
creasing tho pay of postal employees
the urgent deficiency bill, a Joint resold
tlon authorizing operation of govern.
ment owned radio stations for the use
of the general public, diplomatic nnd
ccnsular appropriation bill, an amend
ment strengthening the act of October
16, 1D1S. which provides for the depor
tation of aliens advocating the over
throw of the government of the United
States by force and violence, the army
reorganization bill, an act to provide
for rehabilitation of persons disabled In
Industry.
The wind-up of the present Congress as
far as the procedure of the White House
was concerned probably Is without prece
dent in American history. Usually the
President goes to the Capitol to receive
the measures passed In the last day of
Congressional endeavor. A the result
of the President's Inability to leave the
White House the Utmost confusion ex
isted to-day. There apparently was no
cooperation between the two branches of
the Government, 8hortly before 3 o'clock
William Tyler Page, secretary of the
House, come to the White House to learn
If the President had ony further word
for Congress, He was Informed that
tho Iresident had none and loft.
In tho meantime bills continued to ar
rive and the House and Senato proceeded
with their plans to adjourn at 4 o'clock,
leaving the President In the predicament
to sign the measures as fast as they ap
peared. The President appatently had made up
his mind to let the water power bill and
war lime repealer k by default and
bend every offort to approve the mer
chant marine bill. It was not known af
the Executive offices until early to-night
Just what bills the President had signed.
Representative Mondell (Wyo.), Re
publican leader, In an address Just be
fore the Houso adjourned said In part:
The second session of the Sixty-sixth
Congress Is about to pass Into history
with a record of diligent and Intelligent
consideration of the public business,
careful scrutiny of and economy In ap
propriations and wise constructive pro
gressive legislation unexcelled by any
Congress In Amorlcan history,
"Entering upon Its labors In the midst
of conditions of unparalleled extrava
Kanco in public expenditures, faced with
departmental estimates of staggering
proportions, tt Cc-ngrasa has accom
plished the most remarkable economies
known In all the history of govern
mental appropriation.
"In tho special session of this Con
gress the appropriations actually made
In the eight regular supply bllla which
had failed In the former Democratic
Congress wero $940,010,598 below the
amounts carried In the bills that failed,
In tho present session the Congress has
effected n saving below the estimates In
connection with tho regular supply bills
of $1,433,850,218, making a total sav
ing below tho estimates, and as bills
wre considered by the former Demo
cratic Congress, of $2,371,160,817.
"Tho programme of legislation as an
nounced by tho Republican conferenca)at
the beginning of the first session of the
Congress has been carried out to the let
ter, except as to certain bills for the
protection of American Industries, which
passed the Houto but In the absence of
a clear and effective worklnc majority In
the Sonate failed In that body In the face
of Democratic opposition.
'This programme of forward, looking
progreiutvo legislation constitutes the
finest record ever made In the same
period by on American Congress and
embraces such Important legislation ne
the transportation act, the woman's
suffrage amendment, the Qrceno ship
ping act, oil and coal land leasing act,
Federal water power act, Sweet war
risk act, act for enforcement of na
tional prohibition, the civil rervlce re
tirement net, act for the vocational re
habilitation of thote disabled In Indus
try, act for the creation of a woman''
bureau In tho Department of Labor, tho
iut for tho extension and enlargement
of the f-evcr act with a view of pre
venting hoarding and profiteering anil
with additional penalties for tho violu
tljn of the utatute; legislation with lib
sral provlilous and generous appropria
tions for vocations, training and re
habilitation of wounded soldiers am!
sailors; the resolution repealing war
time legislation except such as should
remnln In force until peace Is officially
established. These and other HCta of
far reaching Importance constitute a
record unequalled Inmerlcan history."
