HAS NO EEFECT ON CONGRESS . * * % (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) , "I cannot conceive of my taking the , slump against the president,” lie said, in answer to u question. i Washington, I). C„ Feb. 11 —(Speci ial to Daily Democrat)— A email Hurry occurred today lit the house over Secretary Garrison’s resignation, in t which republicans twitted the democrats. “! never object to anything that ehows the condition that constantly exists in the democratla parr ty,” said Republican Leader Mann, waiving his hands and grinning t across the isle at the democrats, t Mann had been asked if he objected to i the insertion in the congressional record of the letters exchanged between Garrison and the president. i —— ' Washington. Feb. 11, —(Special to ' Daily Democrat) —In a statement prepared for the United Press today Hen- ' ry I. Breckenridge, who resigned as ‘ assistant secretary of war, outlined * his views on army plans before congress, which caused his retirement 1 with secretary Garrison. I “It is inadvisable to build a military ■ policy for the nation upon state militia because to rest the defense of the , nation upon forty-eight little armies over which the national government has not and cannot obtain control, is to tamper with the country’s safety,” he said. “False claims are made that the militaia can be made a federal force. The constitution Hives the state full authority oysr the militia. The state authorities can, without reference* to the want or needs of the nation, disband the militia or keep one thousand or one hundred thousand militia as they desire. “It is impossible for the federal government, by passing a militia pay-bill to bribe away from the states the jurisdiction given them by the constitution. “The effort to confuse the public mind and make it believe the militia can be made a federal force, is a preposterous effort wilfully to fool jthe people.” Washington, Feb. 11, —(Special to Daily Democrat)—"Secretary of War Garrison’s resignation will have no effect on Congress,’ This was the curt declaration today of Representative James Hay, chairman of the house military affairs committee, the storm center of the controversy which caused Garrison’s summary withdrawal from the Wilson cabinet. Hay would not discuss personal disputes and the personal feud affecting himself and Garrison. But he declared the house military committee will go ahead with its own program of arming reorganization. “Congress is the legislative bran-. h of the government,” said * Hay,, 'it gives due consideration to any suggestion or proposal from the executive branch, but by the eoneititufijn Congress is reserved the rigiit to finally decide legislative questions.” When Hay was asked to comment on Garrison's statement in his letters to ' President Wilson that the federalua- ' tion of the militia and the discard of ‘ the continental scheme was "a sham, a mockery,” for national defense, H ty • retorted: 1 “General Woods, former chief cf staff, said the continental army was a i sham.” ‘ Hay plainly intimated that the con--1 tinental army scheme is definitely ! and finally on the shelf. ‘ We wil conclude our hearings on L the army and militia reorganisation ' bill today,’ said Hay, ‘we hope to have the hill out within te ndays or two weeks.’ DR.
