LITTLE ROCK ADDRESS

|
as, President of the American
Bar Association and Chairman
of its Committee on American
Citizenship, deliered a notable
address here today before the
Arkansas State Bar Associa-
ton. He took for his subject,
Back to Fundamentals" anG
spoke in part as follows:
"The men who made the
Constitution, even as small and
restricted as this country was
at that time, wisely foresaw
that with its diversity in popu-
lation and with the possibility
of its unparalleled extension
geographically, that the theory
of pure democracy would not
make for either safe or a
suitable form of government.
They therefore ordained, under
the Constitution that for the
first one hundred and twenty
years of the life of this nation
proved its wisdom and worth,
that the only form of govern
ment, on the one hand to safely
swerve from tyranny, and on
the other hand from mobacra-
cy, was a form of government
wherein the people, not as in
dividuals, but through their
representatives chosen for
their wisdom, their knowledge,
their sincerity and patriotism,
represented the people them
selves in that government.
That was the conception of the
fathers, and that was the form
of government under which
this nation became both great
and powerful.
"It was not until this pres
ont seaa~at;a ion n,-daraandantS Of
these sturdy pioneers, had
learned to live in fattened and
complacent ease upon t h t
wealth and the security and
the safety bought for them by
the blood and the sacrifice OF
their forefathers, that t h e
idealists, the doctrinaires and
the demagogues became an es-
tablished institution in ouI
national life and evolved a
new theory of government for
the American people. The age
through which we are now go
ing may well be termed the
age of Constitutional Amend
ments and Federal Encroach-
ment, encroachment upon the
rights and powers of both the
states of this republic and its
individual citizens.
at is time to call a halt. 1t
is time to get back to the be-
ginning of things; back to the
real sources of our strength;
back to the Republic, that UNI
der the Constitution the faith
ers so wisely conceived and so
successfully instituted; back to
a government of the whole peo-
pie, by the whole people and
for the whole people. Day by
day and year by year, gradual
ly and insiduosly, through con-
stitutional amendments and
federal encroachment, the form
of this Government of ours Is
being changed from that Re-
public into a political and hys-
terical chaos, whose final terms
are expressed in the unspeak'
able Russia of today.
"What is the end and what
is the answer? | conjure you
back to the glorious days OF
our first professional brethren
who made possible this country
that is ours today-to Madison
and Hamilton, to Marshall anc
George Mason of Virginia, tC
Webster and Calhoun. Fol-
with pride we can say that i
was the lawyers of America
who conceived and created tbs
constitution and the republic
