THE HOUGHTON PROPOSAL

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Alanson
3. Houghton, the American ambas-
sador to the Court OF st. James at
London, is a man of vision and cOur-
age. For that reason there is a Sug-
gestion of ungenerosity in attempt
ing to make a critical comment on
his proposal at the Harvard COM
mencement for a popular referen-
dunn on war. Mr.. houghtOn in pre-
senting his brief, sought to safe
guard himself by declaring that ne
was speaking purely in a personal
sense But he must appreciate that
an ambassador of the United States
cannot discuss international topics in
personal way. His ambassadOrship
is always with him like the Ordina-
ton vows of a minister.
Ours is, and we hope will continue
representative government. All
attempts made so far to shift the
burden of law making and executive
direction from the duly elected rep
resentatives to the voters have not
met with success. For that reason
it is we'll for US to forget the Hough'
ton proposition at the earliest nom
ent. Furthermore, we may as vel
admit that virtually the only honest
referendum on a war would be helt
in the United States, while those II
foreign countries, except England
perhaps, would be manipulated by tn
government, and that is one of tn,
fundamental outs in the whole prop
osition. We could i'll afford to stan
by awaiting a national referendum
while the enemy countries opposed b
US at one and the same time wer
pushing theiH wah preparations t.
the limit.
