S-Miator Shields deehtred congress was a et i n "under false pretenses" in fixing the enforcement reu'uln.t ions on all of the conn l ry now under the guise of a de-moltiliza de-moltiliza t ion necessity, and denying men w t h money i n vested iu the proscribed it id ustrv a fuller opportunity to adjust their affairs. Senator Walsh, 'Oemorrat, Montana, replied that congress had made tiie act appiv to all of the country, regardless of the nroi:re;:s of demobilization unless that process should be completed, and the enforcement en-forcement measure could only follow that po.iey. An attempt by Senator Nor r is, Tiepub-lie;m, Tiepub-lie;m, Nebraska", to amend the bill so that violation of regulations promulgated urn lor its authority would not have the same force is violation of the law itself, provoked considerable discussion, but the proposal found few supporters. |
