WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Inherit- [
ing its most pressing problems from ] <
the European war and Mexican ban- <
dits, and having had placed before it [
one of the most elaborate legislative <
programs ever known, the sixty- j j
fourth congress, now in its last hours,1'
probably will go down in history as i
one of the nation’s most eventful ses-1 ]
sions. ! i
Called on twice to back the presi- 1
dent in steps which it thought surely |j
meant war with Germany .and actual- (
ly appropriating millions for the Mex- j|
ican punitive expedition, it neVerthe- '
less found time for half a dozen do- (
mestic measures of major import- ; l
ance—and to approve the heaviest ap- i
pronriations in American history. (
“Preparedness” led in attention '
;throughout. The largest naval ap- {
propriation the world has ever known <
I in peace-time, and the next-but-one J
largest army budget, were approved. , <
Back of every economic measure— <
child labor, rural credits, U. S. merch- !
ant marine, workmen’s compensation, !«
was the cry of “industrial prepared- ; t
ness.”
Though the democratic party never ;
lost its hold on legislation, and though J
President Wilson at all times was thei'
admitted pilot, not a single measure : i
passed both houses on strictly party <
lines.
The most sensational episode of the!;
session was the light over the Gore j j
and McLemore resolutions, warning i
Americans off armed merchant ships j:
after Germany had given notice it in- j
tended torpedoing them. Avowedly .
slaps at the president’s foreign poli
cy, they brought the chief executive
and congress into sharp conflict.
Leaders of congress called on the j
president and warned him if the reso
lutions came to a vote, they would be :
approved, two to one. The president’s j
answer was a summary demand that I
they be tabled. Three or four days :
passed while the fight was organized
from the white house. Then his con
gressional lieutenants struck, and the !
resolutions were overwhelmed. After
that, congress—except for one halting
exception—accepted the president’s
leadership in foreign affairs without a
question.
| A short conflict loomed when the
president personally visited the capi
tol and told congress he had sent Ger
many a virtual ultimatum over the
Sussex incident. Suddenly hundreds
of thousands of telegrams', in five or
• six identical forms, poured in from ev
ery sections of the country. There
•were hundreds of bushels of them. As
tounded, congress waverd in its atti
| tude.
In a smashing speech, Senator
Husting exposed the demonstration as
hacked and financed by a German
American organization. Officials of
the latter admitted it, and the affair]
became a cloak-room jest.
From the time the session opened, [
the pot of Mexican affairs never ceas-]
ed boiling. Half a dozen republicans
:—led by Fall and Borah in the senate1
—were insistent interventionalists. As j
the bandit raids into American terri-1
tory developed, bolder democrats be-1
came restless.
“Watchful waiting” was jeered as a
policy productive only of bandit con
tempt and continued outrages. Each
outbreak furnished new ammunition
for interventionist oratory. At
length guardsmen and troops were
sent to the border. The movement
was supported by both parties, al
though republicans charged it was a
political rather than a military step.
Senator Lafollette pushed through a
resolution pledging the country
against intervention. Alone of repub
licans, he praised President Wilson’s
policy.
With the calling of the state troops,
a new principle in American military
j history was established. For the first 1
time the president was enabled to send
a national guardsman beyond the
boundaries of his country without ei
ther the guardsman’s or his state’s
consent. Under the Hay-Chamberlain
army reorganization, they were simp
ly drafted as the “federal reesrve.”
Bitter protests from dependents
flooded the capitol. Wives and moth
ers of men snatched suddenly from
their livelihoods, appeared personally.
Two orders resulted, one releasing
men with dependents from serving,
and the other paying as high as $50.00
a month to the families of those who
chose to serve. Two millions was ap- !
propriated for this, it was declared to j
be on the same principle as the aid |
European belligerents extend to fami-1
lies of those in the trenches.
I he session began with President
Wilson’s message urging a greater ar
my and navy. Fear of foreign com
plications and an apparent public sen
timent gave “preparedness” measures
strong backing. But many democrats
and middle west republicans, attack
ing the sentiment as “hysteria” con
tinued the consistent foes of the pres
ident’s program. Finally a “swing
around the circle” in the middle west
by the president seemed to give the
bills overwhelming support.
The Hay-Chamberlain army act, re
organizing and enlarging both state
and national land forces, was signed
by President WHson June 3rd. The
peace strength of the regulars was set
at 175,000 enlisted men and 11,000 of
ficers; war strength, 287,000. States
were authorized to raise 425,000
guardsmen, a large part of the ex
penses of which the federal govern
ment promised to bear.
The back of “pacifism” having been
roken, the naval program — four
dreadnaughts and four battle cruisers
—was adopted. In three years, ex
perts declared, this program would
give the United States a fleet superior
to any other except Great Britain’s.
