Howev«, the legis lative situation makes it entirely im possible to have it brought up for con sideration at this session. The prime necessity is that the Government sup ply bills should be enacted before ad- lourntncnt on Match 4, and in order that this may be done it is necessary to avoid the bringing in of any highly controversial legislation. I was advised this morning by Mr. Garrett, the Democratic leader, that if the Dyer Bill were pressed for con sideration, he would feel justified in using all p a r l i a m e n t a r y methods against not only it but our entire leg islative program. The situation would be even more acute in the Senate. Under the circumstances I would not ask you to come to Washington, because it would be purely a waste of your valuable time.
