GEORGE WASHINGTON ON
AD0PTION OF CONSTITUTION

During the years 1887 and 1888,
George Washington in over so differ
ent letters expressed his hope that
the Constitution for a League of thir-
teen states might be ratified; many
of his remarks are extraordinarily ap-
plicable in the present discussion of
our ratification of the Covenant for
the League of Nations. THE Consti-
tuition that is submitted, is not free
from imperfection, but there are as
few radical defects in it as could well
be expected, considering the hetero-
geneous mass of which the Conven-
ton was composed and the diversity
of interests that are to be attended
to. AS Constitutional door is
opened for future amendments and
alterations, I think it would be wise
in the People to accept what is offered
to them"

Both Parties Worried

Up to the present time Congress
has seen fit to pretty we'll side-step
the problem as to what can be done,
if anything,to put curb on the con-
tinuad high cost of living. Leaders
of both parties have more or less ig-
noTed the matter or have had Jheir
hand so full of other business that
they have not been inclined to tac;ie
legislatively, the problem Of the soar
ing cost of existence. But now try
are waking up, beginning to realize that
they are up against a really seriou1
matter, yet neither Democrats nor
Republicans want to take the initia
tive, although both sides admit that
if things keep on as they have been
going the country will demand an &C
counting in the next campaign for
Congress and will hold one or the 9th
er of the two political parties respon-
sible. In fact, the "folks back at
home" an expression used by Con-
gressmen in Washington when they
speak of the people in their respect
i've districts, are already writing
some pretty strong letters to the law
makers and asking them some pretty
pointed questions ss to why things
are as they are and why conditions
are not being improved. But the
Congressman cannot make a very sat
isfactory reply. He has his own
views, but he has not heard from his
party leaders a sto what stand they
are going take. Naturally he does
not want to see any stand taken that
would tend to lower wages, yet he
knows full we'll that high wages make
the high cost Of living to some ex-
tent. There must be other reasons
however, that enter into the problem
and to this end Congress must pull it
self together and do something that
will at least afford partial relief,
without encroaching upon wages. So
just now official Washington and the
country in general is keeping it's eyes
on Congress, eager to see WHICH par
ty will come to the front and start to
tackle the problem that the people
want solved.

~ STOOD FOR HEART OF America"
Is Summing Up Made by Secy. of War Baker,
Who Has Just Returned From Overseas
d. .PE E.S STRONGLY FOR WAR WORK OF ASSOCIATION

Paying a high tribute to the work OF
the various welfare agencies serving
the A. E. T., Secretary of War Newton
y. Baker, who returned recently from
tour of inspection and investigation
Of our army in France and the occu-
lied portion of Germany, has made
Z public statement with reference to
he magnitude and accomplishments
Of the Young Mems Christian AssCc1a-
ton overseas, which, in the words OF
he Secretary of War, 'by reason OF
It's longer establishment, its larger ex-
perences and it's larger facilities, had
the greater part Of this work to do,
especially abroad"
This statement was made by Score
tary Baker in connection with the
awarding of the Crotx de Guerre to
three Y. M. G.. A. workers who served
in France. At the request Of DR.. John
R. Mott general secretary OF the Ma
tional War Work Council, Y. M. G. A,
made recently to the War Department,
there is an official investigation. and
survey of the Red Triangle work with
the A. E. F. overseas now under way.
Secretary Baker gave high praise to
it's work from his personal observation
during the war and since the signing
of the armiStice.
THE Y. M. c. A. has represented
the heart of America and has carried
to soldiers abroad our affections and
our ideals for them" says Secretary
Baker. 81 do not know whether | can
convey to those who have not had the
opportunity to see what went on there,
any adequate idea of the character OF
that service" and the appreciation
which the War Department and the
Army of the United States feel for the
service rendered by the Y. NJ. c. A,
both at home and overseas"
For the 1929 Y. NJ. C. A. women
and men workers sent overseas up to
April 10, Secretary Baker has only
words of praise. "Honest-to-God' Am
orleans, he calls them, using the Ian
guage of our soldiers. Seventy-fve OF
these volunteer, non-combatant work
ers are buried cover there" in their
army khaki. Fourteen were killed by
shell fire in action. Two of whom
were "Y" canteen workers-American
women.
when we survey this superb army
which is now coming home, with it's
broadened shoulders, bronzed cheeks,
robust health splendid nerve, and the
high spirit that comes with great ac-
complishment, we must remember that
among the formative influences that
went with it and made it possible was
this social spirit which was carried
from home to the front line trenches,
which shared the privations and dan
gers and was an integral part of the
army; for in No-Man's. Land, where
the shells fell th:cl, and fast there
are the graves OF American soldiers

AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
AND MONROE DOCTRINE

The Monroe Doctrine, as originally
announced, served as a shield, which
the United States held over itself and
over weaker states on the American
continents as a protection against
European interference and European
encroachment. 1t was and Is a
national policy which protects North
and South America and makes for
peace on these continents.
There is real danger now, however.
that the Monroe Doctrine will ue
carried so far and with so high a
hand that the real value of the policy
will be lost.
Senator Knox made the following
amazing statement in his recent
speech in the Senate:-"Its (The
Monroe DOctrine) precise character,
the extent, method and time Of its
application, the means of compelling
its observance, all are matters Of our
high and uncontrolled will and SOW
ereign prerogative. We, the United
States, cannot answer to any one
else in respect to it. We use it when,
as, and to the extent we need it.
There can be no limitation upon it.
except our requirements, our will, and
our force of arms. Whatever security
we may need within its purview, it
must give if we ask it."
That sounds like Trietschke. 1t Is
an announcement of unlimited will,
backed by arms, to be exercised as
the United States alone determines
her own requirements to be. Such
an immoderate statement Of the Mon
roe Doctrine weakens and does not
strengthen it. 1t is an extreme
statement of the doctrine, calculated
to cause trouble and friction on the
American continents. The Doctrine
so stated is not unlike the doctrine
which Germany sought to apply to
Europe. -....
Senator Knox would refuse to sub
nit to Cancellation any dispute grow
ing out of the application of the
Monroe Doctrine whether such dis
pute were between the Unitd States
and an American state or between
the United States and non Ameri
can state. On the American CONT
nent the arbitrary will of the United
States backed by force is to prevail.
The other nations agree, in the Gov
enant of the League of Nations, to
submit to- Cancellation all non-justici-
able disputes; that is, those which
grow out of questions of policy. Is
the United States to demand that she
alone be relieved from such obliga
ton and on the ground that, when
her interests are involved, her abso-
lutte will shall prevail? How does this
differ from the German position in
Europe?
The fact is that the Monroe Doc
trine now that it has been recognized
in the Covenant Of the League Of Ma
ions is adequately protected.
1t is such announcements as that
of Senator Knox and not the wise
provision in the Covenant of the
League of Nations which threaten the
usefulness OF the Monroe Doctrine.

Every Man Should Be Ready for
Two Kinds of Summer Weather

You must know that the two
kinds of Summer weather are the
seasonable kind and-the other
kind.
This clothing store has good
reason to believe that it is better
able to dress man for both kinds
than any other store.
The chief reason for this be-
lief is because the right suits for
botn kinds of Summer weather
are here in as large an assort-
ment as the most critical man
can desire and at as low prices
as the most economically wide
awake man will care to pay.
Our regular Summer suits in
cool worsteds and serges at $32 to
$65 are the pink of perfection in
fashion, fabric and fine tailoring.
These are Summer suits of the

kind that every man must have,
no matter how the wind blows,
and he certainly might as well
have one that reaches the highest
mark in excellence and value.
They are priced at $32 to $65.
Then for the hot, oppressive
days, days when it is question
not of what to wear, but of what
not to wear, the tropical suit is
the thing, the tropical suit of

breeze-weave.
But there is a vast difference
in suits of this kind.
We have the better kind, mean
ing particularly the kind that are
fashioned AND tailored in the bet
ter way, the way that makes a
tropical suit hang properly, fit
well and hold it's shape. Prices
for these suits are $18 to $35.
