THE .JEFFERSONIAN

By the provisions of that new law-Ameri-
can citizens from twenty-one years Of age to
thirty, inclusive, are entirely stripped Of the
protection Of the Thirteenth Amendment
which, as everybody knows, provides that
neither slavery nor involuntary servitude
shall exist in these United States, except as a
punishment for crime," of which the person
shall have been duly convicted, after lndict-
ment by the grand jury, and conviction by
the unanimous verdict of twelve traverse
jurors, whom he himself partly selects.
This broad question has never been before
the Supreme Court Of the United States.
How can any man say that this serene and
final bench Of judges-lifted high above
manufactured sentiment, Morganized hys-
terra, and emotional insanity, would put the
last word Of approval upon an Act Of Con-
gross which SO manlfestly nullifes an inte-
grail part Of the Constitution?
It should be remembered that this Thir-
teenth Amendment adopted in 1865, was not
a part Of the constitution, when the Republi
can Congress Of 1862, adopted CONSUMPTION.
Those Acts Of CONSUMPTION were recognized
by the Lincoln administration as necessary
war measures. No test cases were ever made;
therefore the Supreme Court did not have the
opportunity Of saying whether they violated
the Supreme Law
It is well known that the Supreme Court
did decide, on test cases brought that the
Lincoln administration had violated the Con
stitution in suspending the law of habeas
corpus
It might easily be argued that the snspen-
sion Of habeas corpus ia q few individual
cases, was less wide breach Of the constr
tuition, than the CONSUMPTION law, which struck
down personal liberty by wholesale.
4l,o c,.nc4;o,, ,oC,9,o hofo4.o
preme tribunal now, the court would take
judicial cognizance Of the fact that no in
vading army and no lowering feet nlenaces
the integrity Of our Republic.
Even an Act Of Congress cannot create an
actual INVASION although intoxicated politi-
clans, endowed with vivid inaginations, can
conjure up myraids Of phantom warriors, who
are about to oyerturn our government, and
slaughter our people.
The court would have to face the plain
question: has Congress the power to seize mil
lions Of free men, Of q certain age, subject
those men to unwilling service Danish them to
foreign soil, and condemn them to die, in a
quarrel which was not ours?
The old Common Law Of England says it
cannot be done.
That law has never been repealed, does not
conflict with q single principle Of American
jurisprudence, harmonizes with the laws of
the land and applies to this case.
That ancient principle Of the Common Law,
strictly accords with the law Of nature, and
with the law Of nations, both of which arc
supreme.
The very highest authorities that can be
cited have laid it down in the great text
books of the legal profession, that the statutes
are of no avail, if they conflict with the laws
of nature and Of nations

majority in the chamber of deputies in
support of the governments definition
of its war aims said in an interview
today:
THE chamber thought, as the coun

United States brings US the support
of their military and economic forces
1t is not the moment for us to reply
by showing WEAKNESS. The govern
ment and France are only the more
grateful to the United States for an
assurance OF victory which is calculat
ed to reassure the most skeptical."
