Wanted: A League of Youth

A PARLIAMENT of youth has been meet.
~ ing IN HelslngfOrs. Finland in which
~ young men and women of many differ.
ent nations spoke in behalf of the
Younger generation and endeavored to express
tnelr Ideas on various proglems of social and
spiritual life. The ground had already been
covered to some extent by reports of the Young
Mems Christian Association, which organized
worldwide inquiry into the mind Of modern
youth preparatory to the meeting Of this parlia-
ment. which it arranged.
l have only seen it's report or answers to
questions addressed to English youth but they
reveal many delights the psychology of the
younger crowd ideas stirring perhaps in the
minds OF youth in other countries besides my
own. Not much attention has been paid to
them but they seem to me highly interesting
and important. Various assemblies of elderly
pomposts are being held to discuss world
problems.
In England. last week. British association
was in session at Oxford to examine the for
ward march Of science. Baldheaded professors,
eminent scientists with horn-rimmed specta-
cles proclaimed the power and glory of scien-
tif1c discovery without much reference to it's
applications to the purpose Of scientific
slaughter in future wars.
Next month the League of Nations will meet
at Geneva and correspondents of all nations
will flood our newspapers with accounts of
sensations intrigue, international pacts for the
artificial preservation of world peace by scraps
OF paper signed by diplomats, but not sealed
perhaps in the spirit Of their peoples.
Those assemblies have their Importance but
to my mind parliament of youth would be
enormously more interesting and fruitful Of
knowledge if its debates and conclusions could
really let us into the secret Of what this mod
ern youth of ours is really thinking. What is
it thinking about the future? What is it think
ing about religion, duty, morality. life? What
are its secret desires impulses. ideals? What
does it think about us, the old folks at Nome

Looking at that English report on answers
to questions. I flnd certain revelations made
candidly and without selfconsciousness by
young people. They are aware, it seems Of
desire to escape from home life and parental
authority Many Of them think this Is due to
the war, which was like shadow their
childhood and took their fathers away. If
father came home again he was rather a
stranger. Anyhow. they had learned to do
without him. Then there are movies, dances,
girls. They meet girls on equal terms without
watchfu elders. 1t is good for boys they think,
il a girl is good and decent" 1.-The right
Sort
In England they spend their evenings away
from home because of bad housing conditions,
overcrowding In mean streets. There are lots
of reasons for this new liberty. They do not
accept what the old folks tell them. In the
matter Of religion. for instance, they are rather
doubtful about the truth and sincerity of
preachers and teachers. Some of them state
frankly that this religious stuff seems hypo-
critical because those who profess to be good
Christians are pretty poor citizens and quite
dishonest.
Most answers rather crude and boyish.

Visits by Foreign Experts.
This country has been visited in
the last two or three years by dele
cations of industrialists from all
principal countries in Europe who
came for the purpose Of discovering
the secret of our prosperity. They
marvel at the equipment, methods
and system of our great industries
and at the results of mass produc-
ton. but shake their heads over the
possibility OF initiating them at
home. They say their market fields
are too small. They could not find
an outlet for such production.
Doubtless it is out of the question
for them 10 have the free inter
change throughout Europe which
exists within the United States. but
they might reduce the artificial bar

rangements such as are effected in

$3.50 Appropriations, Seen as Jeopardizing

There has been during the past &c
years another impairment in local
self-go government which did not in
volve an amendment to the COnstitu
ton. The $3.50 appropriat lions. if ex
banded, are the most destructive plan
so far devised. Under it Congress
says to the States. We will appropri
ate dollar. You match it by the ap
preparation of another dollar. Then
the two dollars shall be spent as the
National Government shall designate.
There are six of these $3.50 appro
pr1ation laws now on the statute
books. They have been referred to
by different terms. The President
calls them Subsidies" BY others
they have been termed the bribery

Long ago we made grants for edu-
cation and internal improvements
The Federal Immigrant colleges were
founded on subsidies of land and

however, these grants have taken the
form Of conditional subsidies. The
States must give dollar for dollar.
These great sums, running into hun
dreds of millions, have operated as

change the relations between the
National and State Governments
When Congress adjourned year ago
there were pending more than 100
proposals to amend the Constitution

BY CHESTER l.. LONG.

Former President American Bar Association
Liberty in the United States has
been imperiled by the impairment of
local self government. Let the
States resume and exercise the powers
reserved to them. Restore liberty by
restoring State control over local af-
fairs
We started on the dual plan. Ger
tain powers were delegated to the
National Government and others to
the States, and as to the latter the
National Government has no concern
The disposition today, however, is
to do everything in Washington and
as little as possible in the 48 State
capitals. 1t has been gradual. almost
imperceptible at times. but the drift
has been all one way. and it has been
done because Congress has been in
duced to exercise certain powers re-
served to the States.
l do not ask for any restriction on
the National Government in it's admin.
istration Of interstate or foreign com.
merce, Federal taxation, or those
powers that are delegated to It by the
Constitution. But in the past ~
years there have been four amend
ments to the Constitution that have
materially changed the relations be-
tween the National Government and
the States.
Led to Concentration.
This led to concentration of pow.
err in the National Government that
went on until the proposed twentieth
amendment was submitted Con-
gress in its wisdom thought it best
that it should control and regulate
what Is commonly called child la
Dor. When it passed the twentieth
amendment it evidently assumed that
the amendment would be ratified in
due course, as all other amendments
recently submitted had been. This
assumption was wrong. There was
sudden awakening. A few States
ratified, but large majority rejected
1t. 1t has been defeated to date. The
regulation of child labor will continue,
where it Is now, with the States. 1t
Is an appropriate field for local self
government. Conditions in the diff
ferent States vary, and legislation
that is appropriate in one State NAV
not be applicable in another. Those
who opposed the twentieth amend
ment did so not because they were
against the regulation Of child labor.
1t was because this was the most
fragrant invasion Of local self.govern
ment that Congress had so far at
tempted.
