LISTEN. WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

How did she stand the pain?
How did any of them stand the
pain-that old, grim. gay breed
of humans who laugh at us for
mollycoddles? But, whatever
the pain, it could never have
touched the agony she must
have known when first she felt
the limp.
Never to go free and quick
again!
Never again to move so arro-
gantly sure!
I can't bear to think of it.
Yet she could bear to live it
she who had as great a con-
tempt for resignation, or even
for patience, as she did for an
esthetic.
So she took her cane. If a
cane was part of life, she would
use a cane as she used all life.
But there was to be no misun-
derstanding on the subject. She
used the cane. The cane did
not use her. She took that cane
as she'd taken every other
handicap that faced her in this
alien land. AS she'd taken pow
erty, lonelinesS-the fierce, raw
soil-the hostile sun-the stub
born rocks-that fought her will
to beauty.
Dispute her will?
Cramp her style?
Never!
Cane or no cane-she was "the
master of her fate, the captain
of her SOUL"
So, laughing, frowning, storm
ing, she went limping through
life. And Life, I sometimes
thought, stood back, properly
abashed, and let lady pass.
And now she's gone. In the
scarlet dress she loved best, with
a white rose at her throat and
little teasing smile at the cor
ner of her mouth-and one eye
brow lifted in a triumphant
tilt
And I have her cane.
I, who could never touch even
the margin of her courage
who limp so badly without a
broken hip!
And some, I suppose, will
wonder why one should want to
keep the thing that meant an
others agony. But if it meant
agony, it also meant victory.
And God knows we have all too
few symbols of that! So for me.
it's treasure-that plain, worn
bit of wood-Something to hold
to when the ways too hard
AS one holds to the cross, for
getting the God, perhaps; re-
membering only the tortured
man who dared to choose to die
for the sake of the thing he
loved.
They lived-those two. He,
with his cross. She, with her
cane. And all those others,
limping down the same hard
trail
They lived
In spite of everything, they
lived.
THEN so SHALL I!

Eighty-seven years of life
what a lot she got out Of it!
What a lot she put into it! And,
sleeping, already her brow lifted
toward the next adventure.
God grant you get it, dear
endlessly, joyously!
As for me, I have your cane.
I could wish no finer thing to
treasure for the rest Of my life.
MY mothers cane. I cannot
even guess what bitterness she
must have felt when she first
was forced to use it. She had
always been so free-a neat,
swift little figure, moving lightly
through the aisles of her roses,
under the vines and dark shrubs
and tall tossing trees with
which she wrought such quick,
cool magic on the raw frontier.
Housework? She despised it.
Tame chores for tabby cats!
But given half a dozen acres of
wild soil, and a climate that
listened when an EngliSh-1rish
lady spoke her mind-and she'd
make a Paradise.
Yet, when she was little more
than half way through her
years, the cane came. A broken
hip. She'd have no doctoring.

by the 'gentleman's code But a
bantam1scrapper can fly at his

with an easy mind and a wallop.
Because she can probably knock
him cold with one hand, while
she stirs her morning coffee
with the other.
Bulk in any man except a
prize fighter is just excess bag
gage. It makes him self-con-
scious and shy with women,
and gives him the feeling that
he is too big for room and
ought to go outdoors and lie
on the mat.
"Theater seats always cramp
his knees, bathtubs are usually
too short for him, and he's al
ways getting in somebody's
way or knocking something
over. This gives him a per-
petual expression Of apology
and a deep-seated, incurable in
feriority complex, which makes
it easy for any little half-por-
ton woman to bully him
around and walk over him.
Yet, by some trick Of Fate, he
has a passion for diminutive,
pint-sized women, who are no
toriously harder to boss than
big women.
"The comic artists are all out
of drawing when they picture
a. henpecked husband as an
unhappy little shrimp, being
bullied by a whale Of a woman
with a face like the Statue
Of Liberty. It's always the
great big mastiff, who meekly
obeys commands from a fluffy
little feminine Pomeranian.
"That's why, when I marry.
I want to find a gal, tall and
strong enough to make the
domestic Armageddon a fair
fight! I'll bet Petruchio
tipped the scales at 145 or he'd
never have conquered Kath-
arine!"

The Senate'S
Treaty Powers

The King Of England hav-
ing given his approval to
treaty approved by President
Mckinley paving the way for
the construction of a Central
American canal by the
United States, the treaty was
then submitted to the United
States Senate, VIII C h
amended and then ratified it.
The action Of the Senate
was promptly criticized by
Lord Lansdowne upon the
ground that a contract en-
tered into between Great
Britain and the United States
had been changed on this
side of the Atlantic without
any attempt having been
made to ascertain the pleas
ure of the British govern
ment.
1t did not take the United
States Senate very long to
clear up the misapprehen-
sion of both Lord Lansdowne
and the British people in
regard to the fundamental
difference existing between
the English and the Amer
lean system Of treaty max
ing.
This the Senate promptly
did by having printed as a
public document a careful
study of the treaty-making
powers of that body. 1t
might be helpful to the sue
cess of the coming economic
conference at London if the
Senate would supply the
American delegation to that
conference with copies of
this Illuminating study. 1t

Henry Cabot Lodge, then a

ONCE OVERS

It is the message that is i'm
portant when a talk is to be
given.
Often the ready talker you
admire deals more in general
tiles.
Pretty smooth, while he is
going, but when you think it
over, not much real informa-
ton.
Voicing a lot Of other falks'
ideas, nothing original about it.
But he put it over because he
forgot himself and so could do
uninterrupted talking.

No One Can Bind u. S.
Without Senate'S Consent
.Bv James T. Williams, Jr

Senator from Massachusetts,,
and received the whole
hearted approval of the Sem
ate.
This document makes it
convincingly clear that al
though "the approval of
the King of England" to a
consultative pact might
bind the British government,
the approval of President
Roosevelt would have no
binding force upon the
American Government ex-
cept when, as and if"
such a pact was ratified by
the Senate.
AS is we'll known to every
American Senator or any
other student of American
history, 1t was the original
belief of the trainers of our
Constitution that the for
eign relations of the United
States should be under the
exclusive management and
control Of the representa-
tives of the States who made
up the Senate.
In fact the plan offered
by Mr.. Pinckney, of South
Carolina, provided that "the
Senate shall have the sole
and exclusive power y"
to make treaties.
And the New Jersey plan,
offered by Mr.. Patterson,
left the treaty-making power,
as it was under the Articles
of Confederation, within the
exclusive control of the
States voting as such in
Congress.
The Washington times., 1933-05-13
Constitutional Provision
On Treaty Power

Alexander Hamilton, o.
New York, proposed that the
treaty making power be
given to the President and
the Senate, but the Senate
alone should have the power
to declare war.
After all these plans had
been carefully examined by a
committee of detail, Mr.. Rut-
ledge reported the first draft
of the Constitution.
AS finally agreed to by
the constitutional convention
and ratified by the States,
the treaty clause in the Con-
stitution provided that the
advice and consent of the
Senate was essential to the
making Of any treaty.
It also provided that two
thirds Of the Senators pres
ent must concur before the
Senate could give such con-
sent.
Under the treaty clause OF
the Constitution, the Senate
has the power to reject any
treaty submitted by the
President, to amend it, or to
ratify it either conditionalIy
or unconditionally.
What kind of a consulta-
tive pact Prime Minister
Macdonald may have negoti-
ated has not yet been vouch-
safed to the American people.
All they know about it is
what Mr.. Macdonald told
the House of Commons. But
before such a pact, if it has
been secretly negotiated,
either between the American
embassy at London and the
British government, or the
Department of State at
Washington and a represen-
tative of the British govern
ment, can bind the United
States Government, it must
receive the unconditional ad-
vice and consent of the
United States Senate, with
two-thirds of the Senators
present concurring. In the
meantime, it is only "a scrap
of paper"
This power Of the Senate
to exercise final control over
our foreign policy can not be
surrendered to any other
branch of the Government
except by amending the Con-
stitution.
The only way in which an
American President can ever
get the same power to make
a treaty with a foreign gov
ernment that foreign kings
have long had is by an
amendment to the Federal
Constitution. No such amend
ment is now pending before
Congress. Even if some fu-
ture Congress should be
craven enough to approve
such an amendment by a
two-thirds vote, it would
take the legislative consent
of three-fourths of the States
of the Union before a Presl-
dent could get the supreme
and uncontrolled power to
make a treaty.

patches there were loud
cheers" in the House OF
Commons when the British
Prime Minister, j. Ram
say Macdonald, in report
ing upon his recent mission
to Washington, made the
following astounding an
nouncement:
81 am happy to say that
the United States Government
is prepared to play a further
part in tvanquilizing Europe by
agreeing, If disarm0nent comes
to anything like a s0tisfGctOry
issue, to take its part in con.
sultGtiUs pGcts, the effect Of
Which wiH be to increase the
security Of Europe and the
safety of threatened nations
against wqr. This 10 a Uery
considerGble GdUGnce."
This announcement is
astounding" both because
of the erroneous impression
it gives and the ignorance
it displays by the dis
tinguished statesman who
made it of the American
system of government.
No agreement has been en-
tered into by the United
States Government to take
part in any consultative pact
to increase the security of
Europe. Before any such
agreement can be made, it
must be ratified by the
United States Senate.
And unless two-thirds of
the Senators present give
their advice and consent to
ratification, no treaty ne
gotiated by any President
has any binding force on
the United States.
English and European
newspapers have frequently
been led by ignorance of
governmental procedure IN
the United States to assume
that an American President
can make a treaty.
But one would expect that
a statesman of such wide
reading and varied expert
ence as Prime Minister Mac
Donald would have a better
understanding Of those pro-
visions of the American Con-
stitution dealing with the
control of foreign policy than
he evidenced in his recent
statement to the House of
Commons.
Yet Mr.. Macdonald is not
the first British prime min
ister to fall victim to the as
sumption that an American
President has the same power
in treaty making that the
King Of England has long
had.
Even so distinguished a
statesman as Lord Lans-
downe fell a victim to some
what the same erroneous
idea more than 80 years ago.
He had just been advanced
from the post of secretary OF
war to the still greater post
of secretary Of state for for
eign affairs.

HEROES UNSUNC
Husbands Who Love and Suffer
by A. Il. Mann
(FOr The LSB)

Perhaps all have heard the para
phrase Love covers a multitude of
sins" Well, in this respect. many
injured husbands are heroes un-
sung Men are unfair with their
wives in the matters of sex rela-
lions. They are ready TO ship their
wives for any moral transgression
OF this kind. And this despite the
fact that these same men often
associate with the wives of other
men. But. the world would be sur
prised TO know how many hus-
bands there are who love their
wives so much that they bear with
their faults and live with them.
One OF these hcsband sadly shaking
his head, uttered this lament: Il
know she is untrue; I did not seek
evidence and I tried so hard not
to believe Il: but love her and
Just cannot put her aside. may be
foolish, and the world may laugh
at me, but my love will not allow
me TO let her go. He added. II hope
some day she may see her mistake
