The Cabinet By Frederic Washington, July 19. One of the most radical changes of recent years is being proposed for our federal gov ernment. It is urged that cabinet of ficers be invited, and also required, to take seats in congress on certain fixed days, with the privilege of addressing the houses and the duty of answcrir.jf questions. The project finds a good deal of support, though it is a long way from becoming law yet. It is in teresting at the moment rather as a sign of the times. The idea is no new one. Apparently it has been aroused from a thirty-five year sleep by the war crisis and the desire of congress for information. Many members of congress feel that they are not sufficiently well posted on "inside" details of the many tre mendously important projects now under way the mobilization of the National Guard and the conscript army, the anti-submarine campaign, the food conservation program, the financial plan, and half a dozen oth ers. They do not accuse anyone of try ing to hide information from them, but they complain-of a lack of ma chinery by which they can get it quickly and exactly. Hence the pro posal to seat members of the cabinet in congress, where a member with a question weighing him down can get up and ask the head ot tne depart ment concerned. As matters stand today, a member of congress who desires to question the administration can either pay a personal visit to the cabinet officer he wants to see, or else he can intro duce a resolution calling on the execu tive branch to furnish congress with certain information. The first meth od has many manifest shortcomings. The interview between the member and the secretary is unofficial, there is no record of what is said tor either party to fall back upon in case of dis pute in the future, the information is given to only a single member of congress instead of to the whole body, and in many cases bitter political dis putes ot tne past may mane u a aeu cate undertaking for a cabinet mem ber and a congressman or senator to get together. One way ot getting around the lack of a permanent record of such semi-official conferences is seen in the practice, growing more common, of letters written from men high in the executive branch to mem bers of congress, and afterward given out for publication. The second method of asking a question of the administration, by in troducing a resolution, is being used quite frequently. It is a standard means for the opposing political party to put its queries, and it sets them down on the records with great exact ness for all time, The trouble with it as a method is that it is slow and that it can be delayed almost indefi nitely by shunting it down' some leg islative sidetrack. Also, just because it is a oiece of opposition tactics, it is likely to be lost on a vote. This means in effect that no man can ask a ques tion in this way unless he can get a majority to back him, while it is well known abroad that the most merciless and searching interrogatories which are also the most salutary and useful usually come from minority parties. There are, of course, other ways in which congress can question the ad ministration. I he executive orancn has its , official, but well-recog nized spokesmen on the floors of both houses, who rise and chamoion its policies when they are attacked. The heads of the important committees are authorities in the particular field that their work covers, and where the head of the committee happens to be in opposition, the lead ing member who supports the admin istration program win answer qucs tioits which are directed at the execu tive. This arrangement is condemned, however, bv those who see in our committee system one of the leading The Bath Spray pu.j uu finish on ' the bath that ia a boon on a hot day.

It is pointed out that the committee member is no substitute for the cab inet member. Behind the doors of the committee room he gets more infor mation than he divulges, in order to guide him in framing his bills. He convinces himself of the necessity for certain provisions,, and the house as a whole is often asked to take that necessity on faith. "Every line in this bill has been carefully considered by experts," is about what the inquiring colleague is usually told. "If necessary we could convince you that it is the best possible meas ure. But we ask you to take our word for it and not delay the game." This attitude has been particularly marked since the declaration of war. In spite of the need for haste, there is a large coterie of inquiring spirits in congress who want to ask ques tions under almost any circumstances. Doubtless there is need for haste, and obstructionists should be blasted by public opinion, but none the less these legislative interrogation points are valuable part of the congressional machine. Measures at once so impor tant and so revolutionary as those we are adopting today need to be sub jected to all the intelligent question ing they can get. These inquiring members would like to have the sources of information where they can get at them. The cabinet officer on the floor of congress could refuse to answer any question where he considered that the information desired had best not be made public. The cabinet ministers abroad spend most of their time re fusing to answer questions. Neverthe less, no one can follow debates in the House of Commons or the French Chamber of Deputies without seeing that the members get a good deal of what they are after. They circle around and around the position of the minister with their queries, and by piecing together his denials and . his affirmations they get an idea of the state of affairs. This is chiefly because they can ask a dozen questions in ten minutes. Our system has the defect that it may take a week for a mem ber of congress to get an answer to a single one. ' It is evident that the chief merit of having cabinet officers . seated in congress wojld be the chance given members to get information quickly and directly. It is said that congress would be quicker to enact legislation t 'm m ' Dn.BadFBAiLal .Sanatorium This institution is the only one in the central west with separate buildings situated in their own ample grounds, yet entu-ply dis tinct, and rendering it possible to classify cases.

As it is, congress is slow to vote very broad powers, be cause once they are voted the execu tive branch has absolute authority. On the other hand, there is strong opposition to having the cabinet in congress on the ground that such a plan would be out of place in our system of government. It is pointed out that abroad, where all cabinet ministers sit in the respective legisla tive bodies, wherever there is demo cratic government, at least, the cab inet is a different institution, both in theory and practice, from our own. The English or French cabinet, for example, is continually subordinate to the legislative body. When the prime minister and the members of his of ficial family are called to account by legislators they are reporting to their masters. Any time they cannot com mand the support of the legislative branch they fall. It Ought to Work.
