I desire to call the attention of the Senate to the following telegram from C. C. Cogswell. master of the Kansas State Grange. just received by me: Kansas Grange delegate body unanimously passed the following resolution: "We protest giving President or any bureau unlimited right by Executive order to remove restrictions on imports and immigration. We are unalterably opposed to lifting any sanitary regulations to permit importation of meat products from foreign countries." Mr. President. the matter of granting to the President blanket powers to suspend immigration and tariff restrictions undoubtedly will come before the next Congress. The President has indicated he believes he ought to have such powers. I. for one. do not believe that he should. but feel that if he points out specific suspensions or amendments needed to prosecute the war.
