Respect for the Law.
Secretary of State Hughes sent a

the test of devotion to our institu-

action and caprice"
Secretary Hughes declared the

guarantees of individual right
Mrs. Willebrandt, proposing "a
good old-fashioned revival of devo-
tion to the Constitution" declared
that zeal to defend that Constitution
has no exclusive home in the hearts

worthy officials, or organization Of
women to definitely set social stand

Mr. Willard appeared to oppose pro-
posals for the repeal of section 15-A OF
the act, the so-called rate-making
section. He declared the rule laid
down for rate-making was in no

nor less in principle than the rule OF
procedure which the Interstate Com

necessary and adopted under oondi-

their intention of sending ten dele.
gates each to the conference.
DIR. Simon for Plan.
"Your plan," writes DIR. Simon in
his letter, presents an excellent
opportunity for dynamic unity and
spiritual self depression. Your San
he1rin need not be handicapped by
the traditions that clustered about
the Napoleonic Sanhedrin. Re-
member, please, that the Jews in
their scattered Cardibears held to
q vast body Of doctrine, civil prac-
tees and Rabbinic legislation that
were hangovers from the days of
their independence before the de-
struction Of the Jewish State by
Rome.

Because of the disparity between
century long practice and the en-
trance into the rights Of French
citizenship a new reading of the re-

standing Of emancipation. You are
unhampered by the traditions of an

afresh. The various national civic
organizations can create congress

Such congress impresses me as
adequate to the needs, If properly
organized, without the necessity of
fashioning a Sanhedrin which re-
sembles too much of a supreme
court, and will likely justify the
prejudice of an imperium in i'm

"At any rate. I welcome the call
for Negro moral self-assertion and
unified dignity. I shall watch the
