Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
No Investigation No investigation as such has ever been conducted by any legislative committee as to Mr. Palmer sconduct of the A lien Property Custodian soffice. Nor has that office ever had any counterbalance or check similar to other Government departments. Much popular misapprehension exists as to various reports tending to the belief that Mr. Palmer sconduct as A lien Property Custodian has been investigated at various times. The best answer to that misconception is found in the report of the Sub-C ommittee of the United States Senate which heard Mr. Palmer personally in his own behalf in the month of July, 1919. The Committee Report in part says: No formal charges against Mr. Palmer were ever in fact filed with or referred to the Committee. Should the Senate or the Congress conclude that an investigation of Mr. Palmer s Administration of the Office of A lien Property Custodian would be of service, or of interest to the public, such investigation, of course, can be ordered and held under the proper resolution of the Senate; Some time later Senator Calder introduced a resolution for such an investigation which was referred to the Committee on Contingent -E xpense of the. Senate and that Committee reported favorably thereon the resolution was debated from time to time, but never reached a vote and was on the calendar until it died with the close of the session, June 4th, 1920. Senator Frelinghuysen sreference to this matter will be found on pages 234 and 238 of this volume.
