Fight to Be Made on
Proposed Amend
nent Gives Con-
g,ress Power Over
Supreme Court

New York, Oct. S.-The Nation
81 Security league will wage ma
tion-wide campaign against the
movement TO amend the constitu-
ton of the United States SO as TO
permit congress TO pass upon de-
cisions of the supreme court. the
executive committee of the league
announced today.
The most, dangerously destruc-
tive doctrine that has been voiced
in America since the birth of boil
shevisn1, said statement from
the executive committee. speaking
Of the movement. and outlining
the plan to circularize candidates
for congress and wage an active
fight against all who declare them
selves in favor of submitting the
proposed amendment to the state
legislatures.
The most powerful minority in
the country today. which has a
way of getting what it wants, even
at the risk OF the general interest
Of the citizens as 4 whole. and
whose whispers ring as shouts in
the ears OF the average legislator"
said the statement, announce their
determination TO obtain amend
ment Of the constitution. to permit
congress 10 override and nuliify
decisions OF the supreme court.
This is the most dangerously de-
structiye doctrine that has been
voiced in America since the birth
Of bolshevism. Such an amend
ment would convert our govern
ment over night into a mobocracy
under the leadership of the dema-
gogues and destroy by one blow
the inherent rights OF all minorities
against the possible tyranny OF a
temporary politica, majority.
The National Security league
intends TO exert every effort in its
power to eonrovert this movement
and TO prevent such an amend
ment from passage. The fact that
the attack is by an organized body
OF hundreds of thousands of citi-
Zens makes it essential that a broad
national campaign Of opposition te
started at once.
