DUE To DIRECT ELECTION
These Two Statements, Along With Condemna-
ton Of Readiness to Accept Numerous Amend

lief That Country Headedfor Social Democracy

Cleveland, June 15-(By The Associated Press)A frank
ly pessimistic view of some of the predominant tendencies OF
American political thought was voiced Thursday by Secretary
Weeks of the war department at the commencement exercises
of Western Reserve university.
In an address which he said he was tempted to entitle "the
decline of the American government" the war secretary de-
clared the drift of recent years was gradually weakening the
nations governmental structure by undermining the constitu-
ton and sweeping away the principles of party responsibility
The direct primary, bloc" agitation, and the country's
readiness to accept constitutional amendments were given by
the speaker as evidence that the government was heading away
from it's ancient safeguards and toward complete social de-
mocracy.
GAS one result" he asserted, "in the public mind the legis-
lative branch of our national government probably never has
been at lower ebb than it is today"
"The direct primary" he continued, "has so palpably les
sened the quality of men willing to serve in public affairs that
prompt action should be taken to greatly modify or entirely
repeal it,
Turning to the bloc movement in politics, Mr.. Weeks de-
clared that when a party comes into power promising to do
certain things and then finds that groups break away from
party allegiance whenever their own interests seem to be

Democrat Amendment
May Not Be Adopted
by House Committee.

a~shington, June 15.-Definite steps
through legislation to stop the sale of
liquor IN American ships were started
Thursday through presentation by Rep
resentative Bankhead, democrat, Ala
bama, of an amendment to the mer-

the government aid provided in the

The Alabama representative offered
his amendment at a meeting of the

Considerable doubt was expressed
that the amendment would be accepted

ed allowing the Japanese to expand
into Siberia as the only field left to
which to send Japan's excess popula-
ton.
Expanding populations and the dim
inishing of the geographical frontier
have brought the present generation
to a dilemma, according to Bishop
Fisher.
"No longer can migration solve our
problems he declared. There is not
another Plymouth Rock in the world.
In the past there always has been a
lone frontier to which people. dissat-
isfied with home, could go and organ-
ize things after their own ideas.
"There is no escape m moving away
from our problems today. We must
stay and help solve them. The Orient
with it's millions of poorly clad, poorly
nourished people is no asylum like the
wooded shores Of the new world.
Tells OF Population
"A prominent example of over-popu-
lation is that of Japan with its $1,000
600 crowded together in a space the
size Of California, which has only
100000 inhabitants. The diminish
ing frontier has effected the Japanese
expansion schemes materially. The
occidental powers have cut off practi-
cally all fields from japanese expan-
sion save Siberia, and seem to be
thinking Of compelling her to withdraw
from there. Why should not this be
as fair and logical field to allow ia

DepIores Social Democracy
II am greatly disturbed by the de-
parture in recent years from the gov
ernment of the constitution. as l con
strue it, to other forms of govennme nt
which have a decided tendency toward
complete social democracy. While l
have no fear about the ability Of our
government to endure. / must admit
that l am very p~essimistic about the
result of the present trend, which l
cannot but believe is gradually weaken
ing our governmental structure and
may eventually change its character.
1T has been necessary to amend the
constitution from time to time to meet
changing conditions. which this should
only be done after very mature and
deliberate consideration.

."If any Of you young men or women
decide to undertake a public career, as
/ hope you will, let me urge you never
to support a proposition because it is
popular to do so. Be guided in your
actions by wisdom and justice. 1t is
easy to obtain the applause of the I'M
thinking but it is a cheap price.
Government is so intricate that it
should be administered by trained men.
The constitution intended that this
should be done and that the general
common sense which applies in other
fields Of human endeaver should be
used in administering the affairs of our
government.
I'VE see an ever increasing tendency
on the part of the citizens to interfere
in the details of legislation and the rep
