Without express authorization by con- gress, when no emergency exists, there ls no valld reason justifying the employment of the naval forces to enforee the prohibition and revenue laws® in territorial. waters, sald Mr, Daugherty, The opinion of the attorney gen- oral wul submitted to the White| House in compliance with a request of the late President Harding for an officlal opinion concerning the power possessed by the president, Withont Precedent. Daugherty explains that no ap- propriation of money made by con-| gress was for this pprpose, and the| only other time in the history of the| country when the naval forces were used to enforce civil and eriminal statutes was In connection with the suppression of the importation of slaves into the United States. “There can be no emergency,” Mr. Daugherty said, ‘“authorizing the president to call out the naval forces to enforee civil and criminal laws juntil the courts and the ecivil departments of the government are no longer able to enforce them. “While there have been numerous violations of the national prohibition net, both on land and within our ter- ritorial waters, there have been no unlawful obstructions of the functions of the courts or restraint of their processes, or of the coast guard, the division of eustoms, the prohibition unit, nor of the marshals and their deputies of the department of jus- tice. All departments of the govern- ment are functioning and making a steady advance against lawless ele- ment Fixeeptions to Enforcement. “In general, the prohibition act is heing enforced. There are stubborn | exceptions in congested localities, in! some of which local support has not! heen rendered. There are places | where public opinion is unfriendly and the enforcement of the law s difficult, But T cannot believe = that such isolated cases constitute a na- tienal emergency within the meaning of the act of congress. “I am therefore of the opinion that theve are no unlawful obstruc- *ombinations or assemblages of or rebellion against the au- of the government of the tinited Slates in the enforcement of the prohibition statutes such as ren- der it impracticable to continue to| enforce these laws by the ordinary| of execntive and judicial pro- | Mr, . Daugherty aqioted the sections of the constitution which preseribe | the constitutional powers of the presi- | dent, dealt at length with the con- | stitutional powers of congress, quotedx the fundamental laws creating the navy and explained the statutes re- lating to appropriations by congress. He concluded, “It would therefore seem that congress did not consider that the president possessed the pow- er to use the naval forces in time of | peace, for the execution of eivil NO MORE WASH DAY WOMAN WHO OWNS UNlVERSAL ELECTRIC It’s so easy to wash with the UNIVERSAL.

But $40,000 for Emergencies, He pointed out that the npnroprh- tions made by congress for the fiscu! year ending June 80, 1924, are espe- clally allotted for the specific ob- Jects with the exception of an appro- priation of $40,000 which is to cover omergencies and extraordinary ex. es. arlsing at home and abroad, impossible to be anticipated or classi- fled, “Surely such expenses incident to the enforcement of prohibition and internal revenue luws,” he sald, “could not come under such designa- tion. Congress having thus expressly limited the use of public funds, the executive may not disregard such lim- itatlons when interposed within con- stitutional powers.
