OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Contention That an Amending
Amendment Is Now Necessary.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: ]
have read with interest the editorial In
THE Sun on the subject OF the prohibit
ton amendment, and in particular the
analysis Of the second section. providing
for concurrent power of national and
State Legislatures to enforce the measure.
Your comparison with the concurrent
power Of the two houses of Congress in
national legislation and OF the similar
divided authority Of State Legislatures
IL a proper analogy, and points out the
scope and application Of this clause OF
the amendment
The plan OF two separate legislative
houses with concurrent power in legis-
latior exists IN order that one house may
act as n check unon the other to prevent
the enactment of hasty or improper
legislation. For this reason. legislation
enacted by one house fails unless the
other house coNcWs by the enactment
of an Identical measure. Note that this
concurrence IL not indicated by a mere
approval OF the measure passed by the
other house. but by the passage OF a sep
arate though identical measure.
Accordingly It seems obvious that the
clause in question was placed in the
amendment for the same reason, that Is,
that this legislation should fail in any
state which should not accept IL by the
passage of concurrent legislation. No
other meaning Is possible and IL fol-

Financial Councillors.

BY selecting THOMAS w. LAMONT
and ALBERT STRAUSS rs the financial
advisers of the American peace com
miSsloncrs, the Treasury Department
has assured the country that in this
Supremacy important field the nation
will have the full benefit of tntelli-
gent and informed patriotic thought,
guided by practical experience of Il
kind few men have enjoyed.
Mr.. LAM"NT's intimate knowledge
of the processes by which the war
was financed by the Allies previous to
the entrance Of the United States as
belligerent is derived from the
highly important services he per
formed from 1914 to 1917. In that
period his mind guided the CONNER
cial development of this country. then
neutral, in response to the require
ments of the Allies for munitions and
foodstuffs. The organization built up
under his direction functioned with
wonderful precision under most diff
cult circumstances, and the intricate
financial operations involved were car
ried to success with the least possible
disturbance of private and public
credit
In the course of this enterprise. the
magnitude of which astoniShed even
those accustomed to great transac-
lions. the details were carried out
with a comprehension Of the numer-
Gus factors involved which attested
Mr.. LAMoNT's capacity not only t.
manage the domestic situation. but +"
coordinate the activities stimulated or
established here with the necessities
of the foreign financial situation. That
capacity has been further demon
strated in his services to the United
States since we entered the war.
Mr.. SrRAUsss intimate familiarity
with foreign exchange and interna-
tional finance was acquired and recog-
nized generally here and abroad be-
fore he took office in the War Trade
Board. As member Of that board
and later as vicegovernor or the
Federal Reserve Board, he has been
potent factor during the period
in which this country has raised
four great loans without upsetting the
markets and without endangering the
stability of our financial system. II
must be borne in mind that in these
transactions It was always necessary
to consider not only the condition
existing here, but also the effect OF
large Government borrowings on the
delicately adjusted structure Of inter
national credit, gravely hurdencd by
the effects Of three years OF unprece-
dented destruction Of goods, mate
rails and human life.
In assessing and collecting damages
from Germany and her partners in the
war there must be n study Of the
future as well as of the past, The
terms Of Naturalization must be ad'
justed to the fair claims Of the suffer
ers, and to the ability Of the culprlts
to pay. The mere fixing Of q sum Of
money to cover damages will not suf'
fee; the debtor must be able to pay
Thus the advice Of men acquainted
with the history and prospects Of the
interested nations, and the world ir
general, must be obtained. Such men

and Mr.. STRAUSS. whose opinions are

upper floor. At the end they found
pretty little gift which a ghost (Mrs.
J. w. Maione.) directed them to take
to the gypsy in the tent on the lower
floor from which she would tell their
future. An old witch woman Miss
Marion Laney) in a costume of black
and yellow with witch's cap on her
head sat in her gypsy tent watching
a kettle suspended from three sticks
over smoldering fire. After telling
the fortune OF each guest she served
them with fruit punch from the kettle.
The first girl reaching the end of her
cord received silver spoon and the
first boy following his cord to the end
received as a prize a pocket knift.
Other games enjoyed were trying to
bite the apples hanging from the door
ways and those bobbing in a tub Of
water. Blowing out the candles blind
folded and the game of Three Luggies
afforded much amusement. After the
Halloween games in the rooms and
on the galleries the young folks went
upstairs where childrens games of
various kinds were played. AS the
time neared for the end Of the even
ing,s fun the light were all turned low
again and In the library where few
candles dimiy burned the children
gathered and were told most inter-
esting and realistic ghost story by
real ghost itself. (Mr. E. r. Malone.)
