Which was told to us by one Of the

dci the Lenino administration of the
Soviet i'll Russia manufacturer
was approached by representative
o: his workmcn., who said, eve want

oastrial plant" You have tho DOW.
or; take it" was the reply.
In Il few days, they came again
We want rs percent of the proceeds
from this plant" they said. "You
have the power" was the reply
Take it. And again they came :.
This time they said, 1--WE want one
hundred percent OF the proceeds OF
this plant" The manufacturer pro
tested, telling them that they were
taking all. They would not listen
and again he made the laconic re-
Spouse. you have the power: take
it."
He was sure that inasmuch rs they
had ruined him, the end had come,
but Il short time afterwards. they
came again. eve want one hundred
and fifty percent OF the proceeds from
this plant" they said. The manu-
facturer knew that it Was impossible
to argue or convince them, so he said
"You have the power; take it. "
1t was only after this that they
found out that inasmuch as they had
taken one hundred percent. which was
all, that there could be nothing else
to take. So it will be with this
Wcstmoroland muddle. The Courts
arc apparently influenced by the pres

Supreme Court of the United States.
1t is a day of majority rule, with
constitutional law and the rights of
