Declares influences From
Soviet Russia Are Trying
to Overthrow Government

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 9,-The
American people should be taught
that the Federal constitution and
laws and the courts that interpret
them do not destroy but preserve
their liberties, declared Cordenio A.
Severance, president of the American
Bar Association, in opening the an
nual meeting of the association here
today
A proposed constitutional amend
ment to prevent courts declaring laws
unconstitutional he cited as a sample
of an innovation that would take
away liberties from the people by
giving Congress unchecked power
and declared influences from Soviet
Russia were seeking to overthrow the
American government by force If
necessary.
New Amendment
"If the proposed constitutional
amendment should be adopted. not
only would Congress have unlimited
right to deal with subjects that have
always been looked upon as belonging
70 the states and reserved for their
exclusive cognizance. but it would
wipe out the Bill OF Rights and all
the protection that it gives to the
people.
at is a matter of real concern
Dor approved the PROPOSED amend
ment. and such action by the repre-
sen.atives of SO large an organiza-
lion is symptomatic of very SO
rious condition of the public mind
In an address entitled "The Con
stitution and Indivdualism," Mr.. Sew
arance traced the development of
American liberty as sheltered and
Totected by the constitution and by
he judicial Interpretations placed
upon IT and declared that a growing
tendency toward ceatralzation of
power in the hands Of the govern
ment was a danger to the people.
Idle Censured
"The fact that men will not labor
with diligence unless they can en-
10Y the fruits of their toll is ignored
by those who preach communism and
denounce the exaltation of the in.
1ividual," he said They forget that
the selfishness which would take
from the Industrious that which he
has achieved. for distribution among
The whole, is far greater than the
selfishness of the man who seeks to
nossess bit of land for the ex-
elusive use of himself and his
family"
Although each change of life caused
by modern inventions, such as rail,
roads. telegraphs. pipe lines and
even airplanes and the radio has
fitted in with the constitution. he
said. late tendencies of thought have
attempted to substitute bureaucratic
authority for the individual RESPONSE
