Abraham Lincoln was a
citizen "of that far country
where there is neither aristo-
crat nor democrat. ="
"If we would supplant
the opinions Of our fathers
in any case," said Lincoln,
I'VE should do so upon evi-
dence so conclusive, and
arguments so clear, that
even their great authority,
fairly considere d and
weighed, cannot stand"
Pending before the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations
is a joint resolution, recently
passed by the House, which
would supplant the opinion
of the trainers of our Fed
eral Constitution regarding
the control of foreign policy
if the Senate follows the
example Of the House by
giving this revolutionary
proposal its approval.
By the terms of this reso-
luton the Congress would
surrender to the President
supreme power "to prohibit
the expectation Of arms or
munitions of war from the
United States" to "any part
of the world" upon two con-
ditions:
First, whenever he believes
such an embargo would pro-
mote peace, and
Second, whenever toward
the enforcement Of such an
embargo he could secure
"the cooperation Of such
foreign governments as he
deems necessary"
In the April issue Of the
American journal of Interna-
tional Law, Edward B. Bor-
chard, professor of interna-
tional law at Yale University,
tells you why he believes that
the grant to any President Of
this supreme power over the
export of arms and munitions
of war would be "unconsti-
tutional and dangerous. "

Don't Give Up!

Certainly you should make
plans for the future and in
order to do so, intelligently, you
must give considerable thought
to it.
In so doing remember it Is
the future which should con-
Germ you most.
And with that in mind, think
hardest on the present.
It is going to require much
ught to even weather
through"
For that reason, don't give up
hope for the present and near
future to the extent that you
only think of what you will do
when times are better.
Your thinking apparatus is
your valuable possession.
In it rests your only hope
of getting out of your present
trying position Of constant
struggle.
If you throw up your hands
with the conviction that there
is no use in making further
effort, you are lost.
It may be most difficult for
you to be hopeful and optimistic
and keep faith in your own
ability but it is necessary that
you should do so.
When you lose confidence in
yourself, there is no hope for
you.
1t is probably true that never
in your life have you ex-
perienced such a demand upon
your esource fulneSs, self
reliance and ingenuity, as at
present.
But don't give up-don't fail
yourself, either now or later.

United States Always
A "World Power"

n 4U 3OWSA
But the proponents of this
resolution argue that by en-
tering the Great War on the
side of their allies, the United
States became for the first
time a full-fledged world
power. They insist that
with the dawn of "the new
era" we have outgrown the
necessity for maintaining
many Of the restrictions upon
the control Of our foreign
policy which the trainers OF
the Constitution believed to
be necessary safeguards for
our liberty and independence
as a nation.
With the setting up Of the
League Of Nations and the
League Court, and with the
signing of the Kellogg BRAND
peace pact, the proponents Of
this new type of arms en-
barge contend that the
United States can never
again be neutral in the event
of another great war.
Therefore, they insist-and
the British Prime Minister,
Mr.. Macdonald, echoed their
insistence in the Federal City
the other day-that the Kel-
logg-Briand pact should now
be 'implemented" in order
that it may be made "effec-
tive"
This, it is argued, can only
be done by giving TO the pact
a set of teeth. " The molars
in this set of teeth Congress
is now asked to supply by
surrendering to the President
the supreme power over the
expectation. of arms and
munitions Of war to be exer-
cised whenever and wherever
he thinks best.
In refutation of the argu-
ments advanced by these ad-
vocates of the new interna-
tionalism, John B asset
Moore, the greatest living
authority in the field of in
ternational law, offers testi-
mony of inestimable value.

Contrary to Policy
And the Constitution

This distinguished histo-
rian, diplomatist, educator
and iurist reinforces the
arguments of Prof. Borchard {
against this arms embargo
resolution upon the ground
that it is contrary "to the
settled policy and the high
est interests Of the United
States and also to the pro-
visions Of our Federal Con.
stitution.
Mr.. Moore insists that the .
United States became a
world power during the
presidency of George Wash
ington and has continued
to be a world power ever
since. He protests against;
"the misleading and some.
what deafening clamor Of
those who, in the name OF
peace, would confer upon
the President an unlimited
right to engage in hostili-
ties.''
He ridicules as "fan-
tastic" the notion that "the
Kellogg pact shall be
equipped with teeth in
order that it may masticate
alleged aggressors' and
otherwise benignantly bite
and gnaw it's way to uni
versal peace and concord. "
In view of the war in the
Far East and the threats Of
war in Europe, the proposal
to vest in the President su-
preme power to enter into
an alliance with any for
eign powers he may select
to prohibit the expectation
of arms and munitions to
Japan, Germany or Russia
would seem to threaten a
very radical departure from
"the opinions Of our
Fathers"

ONCE OVERS
Unimportant Details

Are you one of those per-
sons who wants to pin down
minute details in every state
ment or explanation made by
another person? .,
Do you constantly ask "why"
and "how"?
Are you needlessly insistent
upon explanation Of unimpor-
tant details?
Do you thus hinder the one
who is talking till the main
cause of the discussion is lost
entirely in the mass Of detail?
If you are that sort, no won'
der you have failed to make a
success.
Those who cannot get a
broad scope in thought and
plan first and take up detail
later. usually get lost in a maze
Of little things and get no
where.
Or is it that you desire to
argue every little point of a
subject-eSpecially the inconse-
quential ones-that makes you
so persistent in quizzing?
Why not accept a general
explanation of the subjects
upon which you ask questions,
unless, of course, you are sin
cere in your search for infor-
nation that you do not possess.
Even if you are after knowl-
edge in all it's ramifications,
you should have some consider
alton for the others who listen.
They may understand better
than you and their thought is
held up.
Nowadays people have enough
of close thinking in taking
care Of their own affairs with
out being bothered by a per-
petual question mark.

Would Delegate
War Powers

According to this eminent
authority, should the Senate
concur with the House by
passing this resolution, Con-
gress would surrender per-
manently to the President
the power
1. To make treaties with
foreign governments without
the consent Of the Senate;
2. To enter into alliances
without the consent Of the
Senate;
3. 10 violate the neutrality
laws of the United States by
embargoing the shipment OF
arms to one Of two or more
belligerents; and
4. To declare war on the
country thus selected with
out the consent of Congress.
Not even in time Of war
has any Congress ever con-
ferred on any President the
power which the adoption of
this resolution would take
from the Congress and give
to the President.
And Prof. Borchard tells
you why in his judgment he
thinks such a transfer of
power would be both Gun
wise" and "illegal" when
he says:
Contrary to a common
assumption, there is no duty
upon the United States to
stop a revolution abroad
any more than it was the
duty of Russia or Spain to
stop the American Revolu-
tion. To undertake such a
function, indeed, is a breach
of neutrality, and hence il

The man involved is a poor,
middle-aged Jewish tailor. Well
call him Mr.. Levinson, though
that's not his name. He lives
in Baltimore and is the sole
support of a large family.
You've seen hundreds of his
sort-frail, kindly men, old be-
fore their time, their thin
bodies bent by years Of hud-
died stitching.
At times this prematurely
old Mr.. Levinson endures hours
of intense pain, for which he
can afford no medical relief.
For the last three years a
dogging despair, as his small
business dwindled, has become
his chronic anxiety. During the
winter his earnings averaged
little more than four dollars

There was little on the table.

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

Frequently the father has pre-
tended to have no appetite;
placing his portion on the chill
dren's plates, he would leave
the room quietly-go to sit in
his darkened, empty shop.
But always on the Sabbath
night the family gathered, the
candles were lighted and his
thin hands were folded, as he
prayed, above the sacred bread.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Levin
son started out to collect a
bill of $1.3O. He had a long
way to go, and he was very
tired.
Crowds, too, had always dazed
him, and now there was this
constant fear. He stood for a
moment on the curb, waiting;
then timidly he began to cross.
Suddenly the street seemed
to leap, monstrous! There was
a roaring-the Shrek of jammed
taxi brakes-darkness exploding
in rockets of agony
Then, silence.
When they lifted him, half

sagged shapeless in their hands.
At the nearest hospital it was
found that his hip was crushed,
his leg broken, the flesh man.
gled. An emergency operation
was hastily performed. He was
put in a cast.
He came back to conscious
ness slowly, his mind fumbling,
stumbling through tangled tor
ture.
Night-morning - night-the
click Of dishes-a blurred face
bending. Through it all, the
soaring pressure of a steel belt,
and a torture of thirst that was
"a detached horror-a voice, far
off, screaming, screaming!
Gradually he understood.
Felt, blindly. the outlines of the
plaster and steel prison in
which he lay buried. Saw, with
horror, the crippled months or
years ahead. And then, with a
shock that dwarfed everything
else, he realized the Broken
Law.
That blurred face was Cen
tile! That glass of water, for
which his tortured body raved,
was not Kosher! He must be
moved!
In this place he could not
eat! From these dishes, he
could not drink! His own ter
ror, his own misery-these
things did not matter. Com
fort, health, life and death
even-they did not matter.
Only God mattered. The Law
must be kept.
And the Law was kept.
Through nearly two days of ap-
palling agony, brain-splitting
thirst-trapped in the cruel de-
lays which are the lot Of the
poor-old Mr.. Levinson lay
there, serving his God.
Then at last he was moved,
to such a place as his Law al
lowed.
And that, as I said before,
may seem stupid and fanatical
to you who are not a Jew.
Neither am I a Jew-nor does
my church have any ritual or
invoke any Law.
Yet I think I know courage
when I see it; and, to me, this
seems as brave anu beautiful an
act of devotion as ever has
come my way.
