Political Leaders Asked to

For Revision. =

Revision of the Constitution of
the United States as means of
combating the reds" in this coun-
try may be suggested to members
of Congress and other political
leaders, by group of men who
have for some time been consid-
ering the subject. it was learned
here yesterday.
They favor holding a constitu-
tional convention to write the
Constitution SO as to adapt it more
nearly to the new position of the
United States in world affairs, and
in general TO bring it up to date"
Those behind the suggested re-
vision have been keeping quiet
about it because. they said, they
realized that anyone suggesting
that the Constitution ought to be
rewritten would be harshly criti-
cised in some quarters.
They pointed out, however, that
recently the Constitution has been
radically changed by the addition
of the prohibition amendment; that
a suffrage amendment is pending.
and that it has been amended
eighteen times SO far without hay-
ing been destroyed.
A letter has been prepared. 70
