n WOULD BE A
GOOD AMENDMENT

Active fight for the adoption of an
amendment to the United States con-
stitution under the terms of which all
future proposed amendments to the
organic law will be submitted to a
referendum of the people, has been
inaugurated by The Woman Patriot,
of Washington, ID. c., organ of the or
ganization of women opposed to wom-
an suffrage. Senator Duncan u. Flet-
cher, in letter to the paper, asserts
that ne viii support the proposal.
The proposed, law would also per-
NIT a state to reverse its action on
any given amendment up to the time
when ratification may be completed
or rejection completed by more than
|one-fourth of the states.
The Woman Patriot in its opening
gun in the fight declares that the
Constitution of the United States is
new at the mercy of any lobby which
can coerce or corrupt 2346 men in sc
state legislatures" The paper points
cut that there "are only 7403 men in
the 48 state legislatures of which
1850 are state senator's and 5643 are
state representatives"
It is also pointed out that it does
not require "a majority. even Of these
7403 men to ratify a federal amend
ment. 1t only requires majority in
36 subsequently, merely majo
rity of quorum of SO states"
The Woman Patriot points out thai
an amendment may be ratified by les.
than 80 per cent of the total legisla
tors of the country. "That is. an!
lobby or organized group which car
control 2346 men in SO legislatures
by threats, blackmail. bribery o.
other corruption, has the constitution
of the United States at it's mercy" tn
paper concludes.
On the other hand, it is pointed on
that the same lobby can prevent an!
amendment being passed, by CONTROL
ing 100 votes in Ii states, even tho
90 per cent of the population of tn
ration might favor the proposes
amendment.
Senator Fletcher's view of the pro
rcsed change in the bill of rights
reads:
81 think an amendment to the fed
eral constitution as you propose ha
much to commend it. My present i'm
Irression is that will support it.

PLAIN TALE FOR PACIFIsTs
New York Tribune)


J. Ellis Barker, author of several
works dealing with German history
and diplomacy and perhaps as well
acquainted with the German people
as any one not German can be, made
"a recent visit to Germany, hoping to
find evidence of a change of heart.
ITO my surprise and dismay," he says,
Il found that the people in general
were utterly unacquainted with the
wrongs suffered by the allies and with
the crimes committed by the German
forces Assertions that Germany had
begun the war and carried it on with
incredible barbarity were received
either with wide-eyed surprise or with
emphatic incredulity."
Men who should have been well in
formed-bankers, lawyers, doctors
and the ike-talked of the war as
forced on Germany by England,
France and Russia. Germany had been
invaded in the midst of peace. Am
erica had come into the struggle from
sordid commercial motives. These men
had apparently no knowledge of the
Lichnowsky revelations or others of
a similar sort by their own country
men. They had never heard of the
massacres of civilians, the bombing
of hospitals and similar outbreaks of
l"Kultur." But they protested against
the "inhumanity' of the treaty of Yer
sailles. Mr.. Barker found only two
Germans who were willing to admit
that Germany was wrong, and they,
he adds significantly, were ostracized
by their acquaintance.
There is nothing new in this. Yet
such direct testimony emphasizes the
folly of believing there is anything
like repentance. The preaching of
hatred of the allies is ceaseless by
German professors and publicists.
I"Peace," says Mr.. Barker, "has been
concluded, but Germany continues to
lbe in latent state of war with her
former enemies" She is but wait
ling, indeed for chance to strike in
Ianother war.
: Here is situation which cannot be
ignored. Bad as it is, the attitude of
the defenders of and apologists for
} Germany in England and America
can only make it worse. The Germans
ARE still an important and powerful
people. Their probable future course
is important. Little hatred of them
exists. Their prosperity is wished
for. But the sensible must take note
J of their spirit and what it implies. If
i. they do not, and the outside world re-
peats its folly of 1914, then not solely
ON the Germans will rest the respon-
, sibility if another world horror &C.
ours. The amazing feature of the
postwar period is that a crowd of
radicals, professional liberals and war
promoting pacifists have learned moth
, ling from the world war and are busy
, laying foundations for another.
