No. The world war has strength

Because neither side was found
ready to take up in detail the ques-

tween the railroad executives COM
mittee and the union representatives
on railroad labor's wage demands
were suspended temporarily last

however, and the question was. laid

THE WASHINGTON
AMER|CAN|zAT|0N
CATECH|SM.
THEODORE w. NoYIs.

(S) Why do you not prOpoHe by con-
stitutional amendment direct grant Of
the status of state citizens for the
Why do you ask in your amendment
only that Congress he EMPOWERED
to admit you to that stntuss
The amendment is so worded as to
reduce to minimum opposition to It's
passage. 1t became evident when the
issue was tested in the Senate two
years ago that Congress would not
favor an amendment which directly
and Immediately gave this status and
thus representation to the District.
To empower Congress to admit the
District to partial statehood for linn
lted purposes is the natural and lOE1-
cni procedure, since the Constitution
has already given to Congress the
power to admit to full statehood all
the territory of the United States, eX-
cept the District of Columbia.
Congress wishes in respect to the
District the same power which it ex-
ercises in the admission of territories
to statehood. 1t wishes to scrutiniZe
minuteiy before admitting to repre-
sentation in House and Senate the
proposed new constituency. 1t wishes
to convince itself of the fitness of
this constituency for national repre-
sentation in quantity and quality of
population, in intelligence, in public
spirit. in Americanism and in ma
terial, taxable resources.
The party in power in Congress has
additionally examined closely the
partisan complexion of the prospec-
tive constituency, and if convinced
that the new senators and representa-
tives would be hostile if Immediately
elected, has postponed to a more con-
venient season the admission of a
territory to statehood, however strong
the territory's showing OF fitness in
popula ton and resources The adop-
ton of the pending constitutional
amendment will not deprive Congress
of any of these powers and preroga-
tfves Congress will have the power
In it's discretion on any grounds good
or bad. partisan or otherwise, to
the District fit for this national rep
resentation.
The wording of our amendment thus
dfsa rms opposition based ON partisan
apprehension of disadvantage by
leaving Congress free hand in re-
District residents to national repre-
sentation and in respect to the terms
of such admission. 1t is inconceivable
that partisan fear of future disad-
vantage when control of Congress
might posSibly be in the hands of the
enemy would cause fair minded
Americans, however subject to parti-
san influence. to fall so low as to op-
pose the pending amendment and
thus. in violation of equity and Amer
lean basic principle. to declare them
selves against even the possibility of
the District residents ever securing
this representation. though the Dis
trict should grow to million in
population and as a national taxpayer
surpass majority of the states
