What Will Be "Resubmitted"?

If what has been put forward as the
administration view" wins at Chicago
tomorrow and the Republican National
plank in place of repeal plank, the
question then will be what Is to be re-
submitted and how The plank may be
Informative on that point. But from
the viewpoint Of politician facing a
national campaign the best plank will
be one that comforts the vets and
encourages the drys. For that reason.
the less the plank gets down to bother
some details the better.
1t is, however, interesting to note
how "resubmission" has succeeded as
catchword, the popular referendum
of few months past. One explanation
for this is that the necessity for facing
the facts has revealed the absence of
any formal method of conducting q ma
tional referendum" on anything, ex-
cept through the traditional election OF
members of Congress at the polls. Nor
is there any method for "resubmitting"
a question to the people, except-in the
case of prohibition-of electing wet and
dry Congressman at the polls. There is
a method of submitting question to
the people. And in the sense that the
word is used at Chicago ''resubmission"
can mean nothing-n It means any
thing-but the submission of new
amendment to the Constitution dealing
with prohibition. That new amendment
could repeal or modify the eighteenth
amendment.
If the Republicans adopt a "resub
mission" plank, they will pledge them
selves to work for the submission of a
Few amendment to the Constitution,
unless they should adopt the plan ad-
vocated by Mr.. McAdoo of "resubmit-
ting" what might be called rhetorical
question to the people-for instance,
the question, DO you believe in repeal
Of the eighteenth amendment" 1t is
possible, Of course, that Congress, by
joint resolution, might invite the States
to count the yeas and the nays on such
question. But the answer would be for
moral effect alone. 1t would not be
binding. Its value would lie in inform
ing members of Congress which way
the wind blows. And. as Senator Borah
has pointed out, the proper place for
the origin of such information is at the
polls A dry member of Congress de-
feated by wet member Of Congress, or
vice versa, has no great difficulty in
Judging the temper and direction Of the
wind and needs no referendum fur
tier to inform him.
1t is idle to discount the gains that
would be made by the vets even in the
adoption by the Republican National
Convention of so innocuous a plank as
a pledge to work for ''resubmission"
without explaining what is to be re
submitted" 1t would signalize the for
NAL recognition by party that has
been content to let well enough alone
of the movement for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment. Such repeal
might be outright or accompanied by a
modifying substitute that would super
sede the eighteenth amendment. But
such plank would not mean that the
Republican platform is incapable of
sheltering the dryest of the drys and
the wettest of the vets. Both could
work with equal ardor for "resubmis-
sion"-but one might work for reten-
ton of the eighteenth amendment,
while his fellow works for repeal.
