The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1932-10-06

There's lesson in Gandhi for
would-be Negro leaders; for theirs
is task so very similar to that of
the Mahatmas The only thing that
can make leader great Is the
staunch support of those whom he
leads-and this support and con-
fidence must be bought with the pre-
cious price of self-sacrifice, con
sisteney and abstinence from graft.
Gandhi speaks and great empire
listens, because in the whispering
sound of his voice is the determina-
ton of millions. That is leadership,
and true leadership is greatness.

the House during the last six months.
Tax Bill Causes Influx.
When the session first got under way
last December, a large number of the
communications held quite the same
form and content of those which had
come to the Capitol in earlier days.
There were the standard petitions re-
lating to national defense, antitrust
laws. old-age pensions and the develop

among these, however, were some early
comers which anticipated forthcoming
legislative tussles.

with its bribery, corruption and, some
times, murder, goes on uninterrupted
by the ebb and flow of politics.
A false glamour has been thrown
about the whole business of espionage

people, of Mata Hari, of Col. Lawrence
but most of it comes from the activities
of beautiful ladies and handsome OFF,

officers, together with Majewska, were
selling to the Russians information
that led to the death of Polish agents.
The little black bag which Majewska
was trying to get into Danzig offered
final proof.
Another Firing Squad.
Thus another set of spies trapped,
another revelation Of treachery where
loyalty was taken for granted - and
another firing squad on a chilly dawn.
Discreet newspaper headlines told a
bit of the story. Once again Europe
knew that although the secret diplo-
macy" OF treaties, agreements and alli-
ances has been more or less abolished
by the treaty of Versailles, the busi-
ness Of buying, selling and stealing the
secrets Of diplomacy and Of other state
activities still continues, with every
country, bar none, engaged in it.
More reports appear in the European
press about Soviet spies than about
any others, but the story is not alto

Undoubtedly there are more spies in
Europe today than at any time before

Yet the embassies in any capital must
be on their guard against espionage
agents of other countries which would
like to pry out or, more likely, buy out,
a few secrets. CareleSSneSS sometimes
leads to amazing stories. The dlSap-
pearance of the Italian code book from
the embassy In Berlin in 1929, perhaps,
is the most remarkable.
A number of countries, particularly
Jugoslavia, France and Russia, were
keen to possess this code book. An
attache named Garbeccio had charge of
the book and kept it under lock and
key. Garbeccio had a secretary mid
dle-aged Italian Woman-faithful,
hardworking, but weary of having to
work so hard. She was approached by
two JugoSlavian agents and after sew
eral weeks agreed to produce toe code.
She waited for Saturday, since the
code probably would not be needed over
the week end.
Then she had a bright idea. Jugo-
slavia, a poor country, was paying her
large sum of money for the code;
why wouldn't French agent pay a still
higher price? So she got in touch with
a secretary in the French embassy and
he was delighted.
On convenient Saturday she took
the code book from the embassy and
the Frenchman photographed it. She
then went to the Jugoslavs and they.

During the same period, in world

This emphasis on the enrichment that

the diffusion of these enrichments has

~ FFTCIAL files at the United
States Capitol today contain
more than a million newly in
~ scribed signatures, carried to
Washington during recent
weeks by the highest tide Of pleas and
protests in the history of Congress.
Representing every State and virtually
every county, according to survey
made as the legislative session was
closing, this mass of citizens names Is
evidence of the scope of ''the great mail
lobby" a new development in national
affairs.
The volume of mail received at the
Senate post Office is estimated as 25
times greater than the amount which
arrived in the days before prohibition,
taxes, economy and the soldiers bonus
began to turn handsprings in the pub
lie mind with strange zeal. And all
night laborings have been the regular
order of affairs in the House post Office
since the beginning of the year. Tele-
graph wires leading to the Capitol also
have been burdened with a record
breaking traffic in messages.
In form, the communications range
from postal cards to the contents Of
packing boxes. In subject matter no
bounds appear.
There is, for example, the document
sent by an Ohio man in which Is set
forth the writer's claim that he should
be and by all rights is the Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States. He not only asks Congress to
place him in that position, but also re-
quests back pay as member of the
lands highest tribunal
From another diScCmfited quarter
comes the plea that "an investigation
be instituted to determine some relief
for the hay fever sufferers " A farmer
whose COW was turned into the wrong
pasture by railway trainmen after it
wandered through broken fence SOL
emnly makes demand for some radical
changes in the judicial system under
which his suit for damages was dis
missed. Protection of the rights of
EskimoS to own reindeer also presents
itself as topic, rising rather unex-
pectedly from little town in New York.
An element Of profundity is found in
another miSsive, the author of which
proposes to Congress "a new calendar
for the world and suggestion OF a
remedy for worldwide depression"
The miscellany Of letters such as
these, however, is merely a faint OBJ
biigato to the massive chorus OF ex-
preston which centers in major issues
that promise to play great part In
the casting Of ballots next November.
Bulging file cases and stacks of pack
ages behind doors and under tables in
committee rooms and offices of Senators
and Representatives reveal the extent
of the eighteenth amendments ability
to provoke expressions of opinion. AS
far back as so years ago people were
writing letters about 'the liquor trade"
on one side and on the other. to mem
bers Of Congress. But earlier years
have only showers of opinion to show

IRISH ROW MAY CONFRONT
OTTAWA TRADE GATHERING
Dominions Would Be Required to Act if
Question Involving Oath of Allegiance
Is Referred to Conference.

Of the Irish Free State, either in ad-
vance of the Ottawa conference or
during the sessions, it would be in
cumbent on these governments to take
up the issue.
Dispute Seen as Test.
During the last hundred years Can
ada and the other dominions have been
moving into relative position that
amounts to a personal union under the
King and Emperor, in which there is
no one sovereign Parliament with a di-
vision of the former diplomatic unity
as of the imperial sovereignty. Yet it
Is important to observe that while this
personal union is not an international
person 1t is a situation which lays
greater emphasis on the King as head
of the state and the crown as the ac-.
tUal and theoretlc unity of the empire,
as also the head of the several nations
of the British commonwealth.
A significant fact about the Irish
Free State dispute as seen by Canadians
is that it represents a test of the real
ity of the act of Westminster, passed
by the British Parliament in 1881,
which removed the limitations on the
legislative competence of the dominion
Parliaments. Dublin and Ottawa are
now free to remove the legal right of
appeal to the throne, expressed in the
imperial prival council. No one ques-
tons the legislative competence Of the
Irish Free State Legislature to abolish
the oath, but there is difference OF
opinion as to the consequences.
Canada Holds Two Views.
When Bonar Law introduced his bill

tuition it was distinctly set forth that
if any provision of the constitution were
TO be repugnant to the treaty it was III
respect to that repugnancy null and in
operative. The question arises: Is 1t not
within the right OF the Irish Free State
to negotiate for revision of the treaty
terms under the unlimited legislative
power OF Parliament? De Valera's inti-
nation to the Senate that I'VE are not in
this bill asking the Senate to agree TO a
policy OF severance; that Is not in
volved here" invalidates the argument
that the abolition bill expresses seces-

Until the government and Parliament
OF Canada take stand on the question
there can be no claim of a Canadian
attitude on the issue. The obvious legal
view set forth by P G. Mignault. former
JuStISc VI IAe supreme court OF CAndaa,
in an address to law students of McGlll
University declares that secession is q
necessary legal consequence of abolition
of the oath. The learned jurist said:
This common allegiance to the King Is
the Keystone of the British Common
wealth OF Nations. There is one crown
and seven associated nations, ard that
crown is the symbol of their free asso-
citation. The allegiance which each
member OF this free association owes to

~ TTAWA-The conviction deep
ems that President Eamon De
Valera's uncompromising at
~ titude on abolition of the oath
of allegiance to the King will
ALLEVIATE some of his friends in Can
ada and the other Dominions who are
disposed to regard the dispute between
London and Dublin as an affair to be
dealt with by the Dominions of Can
ada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa. Already the governments Of
Australia and South Africa have urged
the head of the Irish Free State to act
with moderation. The attitude of the
prime minister of Canada is correct in
this-that the invitation TO the Irish
Free State for the Ottawa conference
was precisely the same as to the British
and Dominion governments. .
1t is not officially known to Ottawa
that there is a dispute between London
and Dublin. Acceptance of the invita-
ton removes any doubt as to the in
tention of the De Valera government.
