treaty until the United States Senate
acts on the Franco-American military
treaty is indicated in Paris by those
in touch with the situation, to repre-

mittee. In the meantime the treaty
has been laid before the U. s. Senate
and it is apparent that the treaty's
ratification will be bitterly contested.
Two objections about which debate is
expected to center are that the treaty
departs from the tradition of no en-
tangling alliances and that it violates
the constitutional provision that con-
gress alone can declare war, Those
who base their opposition on the lat
ter ground declare that by the prom

tack on her from Germany, all fu-
ture congresses would be deprived
of their power to decide for war or
peace whenever the treaty terms
were invoked. To this administra-
tion leaders reply that the United
States has made similar promises to
go to war under certain circumstan-
ces in the past, citing the treaty p
which this country guaranteed Pana-
mas independence.

CALLS ON WAItDENS
TO ENFORCE LAWS
Gibbcs Asks Force for Removed Vigi-
lance In View Of Recent Decision by
Asst. Attorney General,

Gibbcs Asks Force for Removed Vigil
lance in View Of Recent Decision by
Asst. Attorney General.
Wade Hampton Gibbcs, chief game
warden, has called on all game war
dens throughout the State for renewed
vigilance in the enforcement of the
game laws since the opinion by Claud
N. Sapp, assistant attorney general
that the law was unconstitutional.
"You will please use greater dill
gence than ever in bringing cases for
| violations. The way to get bad law
mary Of instructions he has given his
force.
Commenting on the opinion, Mr..
Gibbes says: ga number of citizens
and some game wardens and magis
trates seem to suppose that the opin-
ion Of the assistant attorney general
can repeal or suspend the operation Of
a law passed by our State legislature.
AS a matter of fact, the assistant at
torney general himself suggests that
there be trial in court to decide the
case. If any parties arrested or fined
for hunting without licenses wish to
make a test case in the courts, we will
ask the attorney generals Office to
represent this department in the mat
ter. Until the matter is carried
through the supreme court of South
Carolina tho law of tbo ,oo;cl,t,,,,
must stand"
The following letter Of instructions
has been sent to all game wardcns:
"Thc assistant attorney general has
given his opinion that the resident
hunters license law Of this State is
unconstitutional This opinion does
not settle the matter, but a court de-
cision is necessary, and the law
stands until repealed or thrown out by
the supreme court.
Therefore YOU will please use
greater diligence than ever in bring
ing cases for violation The way to
get bad law repealed is to enforce IL.
THE result will be a Statewide H.
ccnsc law, and law enforcing game
wardcns will be wanted on the lob in
every county.
This department can sell licenses
TO law abiding citizens without war
dens, but determined and diligent Off
GERS are needed for the enforcement
or the law against the lawless"
