SHERMAN OVER TOP AT ADMINISTRATION Attacks Baker, Burle_son and Sec- - retary Wilson in Senate Speech Washington, April 24.—Debate in the Senate yesterday over the Over- bill to give the President au- thority to consolidate administrative | war activities was characterized by an attack on Secretary Baker, Post- master General Burleson, Secretary Wilson, and other Cabinet officers by Senator Sherman, Republican, of Illi- | nois, who linked them together as { “Socialists and_economic frealks.” Urging that no more power be be- stowed upon the President,.the Illi- nois Senator declared that Mr., Wilson had surrounded himself with “half- ! padifis firebrands, and fiends of se- dition.”” He assailed George Creel, head of the Committee on Public In- formation, as having ‘*abused the Constitution and the fathers who wrote it."”" Senator Sherman denounced Secre- tary Baker as a “half-pacifist, half- Socialist,” and alluded to the Presi- dent’s advisers as a ‘“‘mysterious bunch of wizards."” Senator Sherman launched his at- tack on the Administration with a | reference to the Bolshevist uprising in Russia. | “The bourgeois, which is the ob- ! ject of Trotzky’s contempt, is the | only foundation upon which this re- | public can endure,” sald Senator Sherman. “The only Government Mr. Trotzky and his associates are satis- fied with is the “hobo government.” The Soviet is composed of the Reds, | the anarchists, the disturbers of Rus- | sia, and it was to them that the Pres- | ident directed his solicitous cable- | gram of March 11, 1918, and their | reply to him shows that the President {has in his hand a blazing brand— that he is playving with fire and does | not know it. " “In his communlcation to the Rus- ! sian Soviet the president has mepe n unwise use of the power vested in him. It is an encouragement and it | is taken as an encouragement by the Socialist government, founded and ad- | ministered in repudiation, in confisca- tion, in wholesale murder, by Trotzky and his associates. Besides Trotzk | and Lenine, the president ha: tunately associated himself other company to deseribe which Is a disagreeable task to me, Bu® I shall do it, and 1 might as well mention names “It is a bunch of economic fakers, howling dervishers, firebrands and pestilent friends of sedition that he Tias around him.

He was before he committee on military affairs, ! and when reminded of the delayvs of airplane construction in the prepa- tion of our military forces, in guns. heavy ordnance, machine guns, of the quarrel between the Lewis and the Browning guns, he dismissed it with an airy wave of his hand, saving, ‘There are 2,000 miles between us and the wa Now, after he has come back from his trip, I hope he has { learned what he could have learned | without going to FKurope, if he only listened to the chairman of the mill- tary a s committec of the senate 1d been talking preparation for | man a stalwart undertaking of the military affairs committee was that we should speed up, and we should pre- pare even before we declared war to defend ourselves. “The trouble is the secretary of war a pacifist, when he became secre- of war. He was opposed to war; oposed to end war by moral cuasion. by peace meeting, by argu- ments addressed to the justice of men. I Tope that such methods will be cfficacious some time, but they are not T would rather settle in that 2y quarrel with which I have anything to do, for I am not a fighter, | but after looking on the face of Sir Douglas Haig published in the Sunday pers, and the face of Hindenburg. | I have made up my mind that there } is only one argument appreciated by 3 was tar; he 1 now a man with a face like Hindenburg's, and that is the heaviest ordnance we can make in this country and can fire. It takes the shock of the gun between the eyes to argue with men with faces of that type: that is the only way that civilized society can protect itself and that government of the people can endure, “I have no doubt that Mr. Baker has come back with much information But I object to our having to educate the men assembled about the execu- tive with such a long lapse of precious time and at such an infinite cost to the country. The educational process ought to have begun before such men assumed the robes of office. Wilson Former Jail Inmate. “Then there i{s the secretary of labor, W. B. Wilson, another member of the cabinet. He made his debut in public notice by being in jail in Cum- berland, Md., for violating the laws of the country. He is to be the gentleman in charge of the expenditure of $60,- 000,000 for housing end humanitarian purposes, with power even to condemn private residences. He could turn any | member of the senate out of his home by merely applying to a district judge of the United States court and obtain- ing the approval of the judge before | filing a petition for condemnation or {ssuing any order by which the prop- erty is to be taken, and you and your family put upon the curbstone. | “W. B. Wilson himself is a state socialist. In many addresses he has shown himself as unadulterated a so- cialist in all our domestic affairs as can be found in the purely socialist organization in the United States. Senator Fall interrupted to say: ‘T agree with the senator about Secretary ‘Wilson being a state socialist, but 1 would go a little further. Mr. Wilson has advanced a theory of state social- ist never before advanced by Marx or any other state ocialist—that property shall not only be confiscated | | for the welfare of the nation or the community, but that the measure of the right to confiscate property shall be its profit-bearing character. He maintaing the full right of the state to take private property away from the individual.” “Yes, that is correct,” said Senator Bherman. ‘““When I speak of state so- cialists, T do not mean state in the narrow sense of cur forty-eight states; I mean authority to take over any enterprise whatever in any state. “Mr. Burleson, the postmaster general, in the same sense, is also a state socialist. Mr. Burleson has frequently, by messages, report and ctherwise, whenever he has had oc- casion to express himself, favored the teking of telegraphs and telephones and adding them to the post office | department. He, in substance, says | MISS—YES, MISS and, I hope, with a change of heart. | that it is an anomaly for the com- munication of intelligence to be in private hands. There is an almost laughable statement in his report of | 1917, in view of all that preceded it, about government ownership of tele- graph and telephone: T Bt B R Burleson exhibits a strange lapse of mwemory or understanding. He rec- ommends .in that report that all of the rural free delivery of the nited States be taken out of the govern- ment’s hands and farmed out to pri- vate contractors under various routes and he sustains it by the argument that the contractors can do the work cheaper than the rural carriers are now doing it for the government. “I agree with him as to the prin- ciple of it, but it is contradictory to all of his arguments and to every utterance on the question he has made since I hdve known him in public office. I do not think he is a fit person to decide it. He is carry- ing about today in his private fortune the proceeds of the labor of Texas cenviets in connection with cotton farming on his land in that state. An irvestigation by the Texas legislature showed that his farm was let out, | run by convict labor, and that he re- ceived a share of the proceeds of the farm. Now he is the last person in the world to be talking about gov ernment ownership and issuing orders and edicts from his department to the postal employes of this country, denying them in substance the right to organize themsclves to respectfully present their claims to congress or the department. Mr. Burleson rep- resents in concrete form labor that has no right to speak. “This is another one of the presi- dent’s advisers with whom he will censult on this bill after the power is delegated to him to consolidate the depariments.” CITY ITEMS Taunch, Open nights.
