OFFER RULE TOBAR

But Coast Members Amend
ment to A. A. U. Rules, One
of 81, Is Not Favored.

Foreign athletes visiting this coun-
try would be barred from national
A. a. L. championship competition if
an amendment to the general rules
affecting competition and eligibility,
recommended by the Pacific Associa-
ton of the A. A u, is adopted at the
annual national convention in Bos-
ton. November II The Pacific coast
oflclalS have revived proposed
amendment which would prohibit for
eign athletes from competing against
americans for national titles here.

posed to add to general rule 1, was
submitted for consideration at the

Ieated whether it will be adopted
this year is doubtful, for from a num-
Der of officials. IT has been learned
that there has been no change in the
attitude of the A A. U. delegates con-
corning this rule.
The proposed change is a direct out
growth of the activities of Miss Fanny
Durack, Australia's swimming cham
plon, on her initial visit here several
years ago. officials of the Pacific
coast We're undecided as to whether
the antipodean star was eligible for
national title events and sought in
formation on the point from Freder-
lex w. Ruben. secretary-treaSurer of
the A A. U. Mr.. Ruben replied that
tnere was nothing in the rules to de-
prive foreigners of this opportunity.
The hesitancy in permitting her to
compete, together with a series of
other events in which there was
clash Of opinions among the visiting
mermaid and the Western A. A. O.
authorities, resulted in the tempera-
mental Miss Durack packing up her
belongings and returning immedi-
ately to her Australian home.
Thirty-Four Amendments Proposed
This proposed amendment is the
most important contained in the re-
port of the national legislation COM
mittee. of which Justice Barlow S.
Weeks is chairman. The report, which
olscloses number of proposed
amendments to the constitution, by
laws and general athletic rules of the
A. A. u, has been mailed to the
various delegates throughout the
country. Altogether thirty-four pro-
posed amendments are contained in
the report. in addition to number Of
changes in the constitution, made
necessary through the program Of
redistricting territory adopted at last
years convention, which has already
resulted in the formation of two addi-
tional associations and the adoption
OF tentative plans for q, number Of
others. The associations added to the
roster of the national governing
amateur sports body are the Niagara
and Indiana associations.
An effort to keep stride with the
general high cost of living Is seen in
the proposal to amend general rule T.
which provides for an increase in the
amount of expense money an amateur
athlete is permitted to ask for, receive
or accept for meals and lodging in
travelling to and from an athletic
meet. The amount now permitted
travelling athletes is S. day This

\ MEXICAN writers of books for chill
L n dren are wofully behind the times.
To thinking minds they have for long
been back numbers, but heretofore it Las
not been good form to speak out. War
lifts the embargo. Juvenile war books
bring home the writers amazing failure to
sense the aIireness of the modern child.
For the most part they are not worth the
paper they are printed upon. Yet they
deluge the market. Happily, chiIdrsu's
libraries ignore them. They circulate
through department stores and soon reach
the dump heap.
Is it not high time writers for juveniles
ceased to follow the line of least re-
sistancef Let them make the round of
children's rooms in the public Libraries of
New York city, as has the writer, and
awaken to the manner of readers they are
up against.
"Gosh darn i'll Takes US boys for

Down went the book, up hoped the

If he had heard, l wondered, would he
have needed the youthful critic?
Gone is that day and with it the boy
or girl to stand for hero who dictates
to Washington or shows Lincoln how to
put down the rebellion!
The modern boy and girl are nothing
if not realists in their fctional taste They
are amazingly abreast of the problems Of
which they are so vital a part. Rare is
the schoolboy who does not carry in his
head map Of the world war.

What's Wrong With the Writers for Juveniles?

Their knowledge of battles, strategy,
locales, companies, units, medals. deeora-
tons, is staggering to the adult who h1s
not specialized. They want their war
stories straight. They will not have them
fictionized. They are too familiar with
facts. The failure of juvenile writers to
meet the situation has resulted in stocking
the shelves Of children's reading rooms
with the identical war books that find
favor with adult readers.
Apparently the professional juvenile
writer is ignorant Of or indifferent to the
educational advantages Of the modern
child over his predecessor for whom they
were trained to write. Obviously they do
not know that current events have place
in the daily curriculum of most public,
private and parochial schools. Children
to-day are open or surreptitious readers
of the daily newspaper. What they do
not gather from school, press or daily
rounds in public thoroughfares the movies
supply.
"You cannot fool them,' to quote an
experienced child librarian. "They know
the real thing. They judge what they
read by what they see and hear in the
world about them"
Statistics Of the various children's IL
braries of the public school system reveal
that like adults their taste in reading fol-
lows closely the trend of the times,
"Before the war;" said the librarian of
a popular branch, "boys were absorbed in
electricity, mechanics, building During
the war they craved books about war
American Revolution, War of 1872, Rebel
lion, Spanish-any old war. Now they
are keen on aviation, airplane building.
They compare what they read with what
they see flying over city skyscrapers or
in the movies. Woe to the writer who in

which is rapidly wedding ont the juvenile
writers not abreast Of the times.
The crying want of children's libra-ies
and juvenile periodicals is girls stories.
No one has risen to take the place of
Louisa Alcott. East Side girls have no
use for current boarding school fiction.
"It's not life" they say. But then,
East Side children on the whole are far
in advance of Fifth avenue or West Side
in their reading taste and acumen. At 8
and 10 they are reading Dumas, Dickens,
books not generally reached by Americans
until long past that age.
Children's librarians find much to be de-
plored in the run of boarding school sto-
ries, which make for class distinction. the
Librarians maintain. They teach deceit, set
up false standards of living and on the
whole are morally bad when not deadly
insipid. They train up reading public
to sustain cheap magazine fiction.
Refreshing to chronicle is the perennial
demand for the fairy tale. From 8 to II
boys and girls are its devotees. Happily,
not few Of the standard tales are lit
erature.
"Children are born moralists," said
young librarian of vision at the Forty
second street Public Library. "They want

Constitutional Control of Our Foreign Relations

OF any grant or implication Of power to
be found In the Federal Constitution. at
is not easy, therefore," as Senator Suth-
er!and observes, ito avoid the conclusion
that legislation may be in a sense ertra-
constitutional without being unconstitu-
tional."
III.
The power of the national Government
to exclude or expel undesirable aliens is
an e1tra-constitutional power, upheld
by the Supreme Court on the ground that
the right to exclude or e1pel all aliens or
any class Of aliens, absolutely or upon
certain conditions, in war or in peace, is
"an inherent and inaienable right Of
every sovereign and independent nation,
essential to its safety, its independence
and its welfare"
The express provisions Of the Federal
Constitution concerning our foreign reia-
tons are those which refer to the declare
ton and waging of war, those which refer
to the making of treaties and those which
refer to the appointment Of ambassadors,
public ministers and consuls and the re-
ception of similar officers from other
lands. OF the eight lectures contained in
the present volume, two are devoted to a
consideration of the war powers of the
national Government and two to discus
sion of the treaty making power. While
the very power to wage war is not e1-
pressly written into the Constitution, it
is necessarily implied in the eonstitu-
tional provisions prescribing the manner
In which it shall. be exercised and the
agencies by which it shall be carried on.
There was no need to go further than this,
since the right to wage war is a necessary
and inherent attribute of every sovereign
and Independent nation. In this coun-
try a declaration of war is not a func-
ton of the Executive as it is in England,
but the power to declare war is vested by
the Constitution in Congress and in Con-
gress alone, which is also empowered "to
make rules concerning captures on land
and water, raise and support armies and
make rules for the government and regu-
lation of the land and naval forces" The
President is designated by the Constitu-
ton as the Commander in Chief of the
Army and Navy Of the United States;
and Senator Sutherland emphasizes the
point that the Constitution confers no
rdr po'oers upon the President as such.
A disregard of this fact, he thinks, has

ment are Of paramount importance as
bearing upon any engagements which may
be undertaken in the treaty which shall
be the outcome of the Paris Conference.
1t is obvious that the United States may
not by treaty undertake to do anything
which is absolutely or expressly forbidden
by the Constitution. "a treaty." said the
Supreme Court in the Cherokee Tobacco
case decided in 1870, Cannot change the
Constitution or, be held valid if it be in
violation of that instrument" Senator
Sutherland apny suggests that foreign
Governments ought, in dealing with us, to
look into our Constitution not only suffi-
GENTLY to ascertain what agencies possess
the treaty making power, but also what
limitations, if any, are placed upon the
authority Of such agencies; in other
words, that they are bound to inquire into
the scope of the agents authority. On
the other hand, the author denies that the
treaty making power can be limited by
State legislation when such power is ex-
ercised in respect to matters of interna-
tional cognizance. As the Supreme Court
OF the United States said more than one
hundred years ago: "a treaty cannot be
the supreme law of the land; that is, Of
all the United States, if any act of State
Legislature can stand in the way"
v.
Senator Sutherlands views will COM
mend themselves to all readers except
those who favor an exceedingly narrow
construction of the fundamental law Of
the nation. We find only two incidental
observations in these lectures which pro-
woke modicum of doubt if not dissent,
"That Germany has lost and civilization
has won," says the Senator, "has been as
much due to German blunders as to allied
skill and courage. If her higher strategy
and diplomacy had been equal to her
military strength the world would now
have a German MASTER" In another
place he tells Us he has mo doubt that
much larger proportion of the decisions
of courts are wrong than is generally
suspected" Are not both these conclu-
sions little too severei We are inclined
to think so.
Senator Sutherland's book furnishes to
educated lawyers and laymen a most in
struetive and trustworthy guide to a cor
rect comprehension of the important
questions which are certain to arise out Of
the Paris Conference.

led to much confusion of thought. "When
war has been declared by Congress the
duty of waging war Immediately attaches
to the Office of Commander in Chief, not
to the Office of President Many persons
are In the habit Of thinking Of the Presi-
dent as possessing extensive powers SIM
ply because he is President in time of
war, but such war powers are his by
virtue of being Commander in Chief and
not by virtue of being President" The
functions of the Commander in Chief are
not prescribed or defined by the Constitu-
ton; hence they must be ascertained by
inquiring what are the powers and duties
vested in and imposed upon such an Off
Ger by the generally accepted laws Of
war. These must be held to attach to the
Office when exercised by the President Of
the United States
Senator Sutherland warned the hearers
of his lecture that the Office Of President
had grown in potency and influence to On
extent never dreamed of by those who
framed and adopted the Constitution.
The people need to be cautioned against
their ever increasing tendency to regard
him as the sole repository of their power
(which" says the Senator, Every de-
cidedely he is not" The true character
of martial law is admirably explained in
the fourth chapter as being in reality
not ld,O at all, but the substitution there
for of the arbitrary will of military
commander; and the author shows that
under the authority Of the Celebrated Mill
gan case, decided by the Supreme Court
in the civil war, there can never be any
occasion for a declaration of martial law
in this country during our participation
in a war waged wholly outside the boun-
diaries of the United States.
The constitutionality of military con-
scription has been established by Judicial
decision, as has also the power of the ma
tional Government to send American
troops to fight or foreign soil. While
Congress may MOI curtail the powers of
the President as Commander in Chief, it
may augment them - as, indeed, it has
done on the largest possible scale in the
world war by means of emergency laws
which have made him virtually dictator
for the time being in regard to many gov
emmental activities-aa grant of power
which no free people would tolerate under
normal conditions"
At the present time the limitations i'm
posed by the Constitution upon the treaty
making power of the national Govern
