ISthmuS OF Hiram Fercy MaA'"
Darien, Panama. in 1913, and
attaining the summit OF a
ridge of mountains. took the
first look at the Pacific Ocean
by a white man. Little did ne
realize that he had discovered,
for the white race, an ocean
that covered one-third OF
Earths total area.
What would he have thought
could he have looked forward
422 years and seen the shores
of this vast lonely ocean pop
ulated by over 20 different ma
lions of men and dotted with
ships having no sails but which
rushed over the waters at
speeds in excess of the fastest
land vehicle of his day.
Could he have seen the latest
sea plane, which has just pio-
neered the first leg of a pas
senger route across this vast
waste, he would not have be-
lieved his eyes.
ENORMOUS AREA
AS one regards the Pacific
on a globe of the earth and
realizes that practically every
place on it has been visited sew
eral times, it brings a pang OF
regret, for it is the last of the
unknown and the mysterious.
One thinks of the bold Magel-
Ian, laundering through the
dangerous straits which bear
his name. and wandering this
great waste of water in 1920
and 1921, without maps or
charts, knowing nothing OF
where he was going, nor what
to expect.

from the southern tip of the
South American continent to

off Japan and never sighted
anything but two small unin'
habited isletS. And yet the Pa
cific is literally peppered with

And noW'S as good time as any
to face the brutal facts.
This notion that a "womanly
woman" ever was, or should be,
a coy and clinging Cutie, is COM
pletely cockeyed. The original
female was hairy, husky he'll
lion who could lick her weight
in wildcats and tell her old man
how-come without batting an

and moral innards any less

No village poet had as yet
advanced the romantic theory
of woman's superior sensitive
ness" And he would probably
have received a well-aimed
sock on the jaw if he had, for
our primitive mothers were
quite as proud of their tough
ness as our fathers. And
never missed an opportunity to
exhibit it.
UNCHANGED
We have no personal memoirs
to prove this, but the ladies'
record speaks for itself. 1t
was they who devised and exc
cuted the final fiendish tor
lures inflicted upon helpless
captives. When not engaged in
this "womanly pastime," Grand.

Or perhaps she doesn't care
whether they've changed or not.
Be that as it may, the modern
miss is as ruthless, despite her
ballot, pay check and college

Yet why should Woman be
ashamed of this situation-or
why should you or I lament it?

Uncontrolled Power
Blu James T. Williams, J.

1t seems odd that successors
OF those Americans tUho, $50
years ago, fought hard to escape
from government By the Eng
hSh Parliament and the King,
should noW be urging that the
United States should adopt the
institutions Which Were then
rejected.-CHARLES WARREN.
Another political sapper seek
ing to undermine the American
system of government has been
smoked out.
Congressman Amlie of Wis
conSin calls upon American
labor to enlist in a movement
to level to the ground the Amer.
lean system of government es-
tablished by the Constitution Of
the United States, that he and
his fellow-sappers may set up
in its place the English system
of government.
Mr.. Amlie is native Of North
Dakota. He was elected to the
present Congress as Progress
sive" after having been defeated
in the Republican primaries OF
1882 as a Republican.
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
Mr.. Amlie would deprive the
Supreme Court of the United
States of it's power to do justice
to an individual where his Con-
stitutional rights have been vlo-
lated by an act of Congress. He
would establish in Congress the
supreme power over the lives
and belongings and liberty OF
every American. He would have
American Labor believe that the
American people would be bet
ter protected in their individual
liberties under an English SyS.
tenn of government than under
the American system.
But Mr.. Amlie has not been
frank with American labor. He
does not publicly define some
of the differences between
American protection and Eng
lish protection OF the rights OF
the individual.
In his most timely book
upon Congress, the Constitu-
ton and the Supreme Court"
Mr.. Charles Warren knocks into
a cooked hat what seems to
be the Amlie theory that
George Washington and the
Army of the Revolution made a
big mistake when they liberated
the American people from gov
eminent by the English Parlia-
ment and the King, and placed
them under the protection OF
the Government of the Constl-
tuition.
eff Labor, or if any American
citizen" writes Mr.. Warren, els
inclined to believe that the
English Parliament affords a
better protection to the rights
of individuals than does our
American system, his attention
may be directed to some con-
crete examples of what became
of the rights of British citizens
during the late war"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-07-03

Under the American system
of government, the Constitu.
ton safeguards the humbleSt
American citizen in his right to
jury trial, whether in time Of
war or of peace. AS long ago
as 1867, as Mr.. Warren points
out, the Supreme Court Of the
United States in the decision
of the Milligan case declared
the law of the land to be that
no American citizen may ever
be tried by a military court
where civil courts are open,
except a member of the armed
forces or a war spy so branded
by Congress and that mo
American citizen, whatever,
without exception. can be pun.
ished, without trial in some
court"
No such protection IS given
an English subject governed by
the English Parliament and the
King. To illustrate this point,
Mr.. Warren cites the famous
case of Arthur Zadig, an Eng
lish subject. of German origin,
but naturaliZed for over ten
years.
What happened to zadig
under the English system of
government which Congress
man Amlie would establish in
place of the American system
of government?
Without any indictment or
court warrant, Zadig was ar
rested. Without any trial or
conviction of guilt, upon the
mere recommendation" OF a
military authority, zadig was
interned.
This was done under the De-
tense of the Realm act.
Zadig was not an alien enemy,
for which the laws o. the United
States provide interment. zadig
was an English subject, but this
fact did not obtain for him the
protection which the American
Constitution gives to the hum.
blest citizen in peace and war.
WITHOUT TRIAL
Yet the highest English court,
the House of Lords, sitting as a
judicial tribunal, upheld the
punishment visited upon Zadig,
and if the English Parliament
had seen fit it could have au-
thorized the execution of Ia
dig without trial as easily as it
authorized his arrest and inter
ment without trial.
"WOuld Americans, would La
bOr," asks Mr.. Warren, "be con-
tent to trust Congress and the
Government officials with such
power, without any opportunity
to test its lawfulnesS in court"
Apparently Congressman Am
lie of Wisconsin would be en-
tirely willing to trust Congress
with this uncontrolled power be-
cause he is now openly advocat.
ing the substitution of the Eng
lish system of government for
the American system.

volcanic islands, there beins
several hundred in some of the
groups.
Tasman, the Dutch mariner,
had a similar experience. In
1912, sent out to find and ex-
plore Australia, he sailed COM
pletely around it and never
sighted it once. Another exam
pie of the effect of the enormous
area, is the Solomon group of no
less than 500 islands, lying
northeast of Australia. They
were completely lost for over
200 years.
To the early naVigators, the
Pacific must have been incom.
prehensibly vast. 1t is fearfully
big even to us of today. The
fastest passenger ships require
Is days to cover the distance
from San Francisco to New Zea-
land, and it frequently happens
that neither land nor another
vessel is sighted during the en-
tire voyage. From Vancouver to
Japan takes II days on a fast
ship, or as long as to go and
come across the Atlantic.
STILL UNSOLVED
It is interesting to compare
the lowness of the bottom of
this great basin with the height
of the highest mountain peaks.
The average depth of the Pacific
is 10000 feet, or about two miles.
There are spots where it is much
deeper.
The American cable ship,
Nero, sounded $500 fathoms be-
tween Guam and Midway Is
lands, or about six miles depth.
From the bottom of that hole
to the top of Mt. Everest is
about 10 miles.
One of the many unSolVed
mysteries of the Pacific is how
the Mongoloid type of Indians,
which we find in Patagonia and
Terra del Fuego at the very
bottom end of South America,
ever got where they are. 1t is
hard to believe that tn ey
trekked all the long way down
from Siberia via the land
bridge which once existed be-
tween it and Alaska. 1t seems
equally hard to believe they
spanned the great Pacific In
their little canoes.
Yet there they are today
with their characteristic Asiatlc
straight black hair, high cheek
bones, and slant eyes. Their
presence is a mystery which
the Pacific alone can explain.
