The spokesman said there was
no present prospect of Italy's
withdrawing from the League, and
he added such action would not
be taken unless Italy feels she
is driven to it.

Baron AloiSi simply illustrated
the text of the communique to
Madariaga, said the spokesman.

Italy has kept her head and
maintained GOODNESS at all times,
and If alarms have spread
through Europe, it is not due to

The spokesman also denied the
italian cabinet had held secret
session last night.
Evidence of Premier Mussolini's
unaltered militaristic intentions
was seen in the prospect for an
other record-breaking movement
of troops to Africa.
Three steamers were loaded,

It is also true that unfortunately for the Republic
we have not had in the councils of the nation. in
these six years of stress and worry men comparable
to such immortal statesmen as Washington, Jeffer-
son, Hamilton, Marshall, Franklin, Madison and
their associates who raised up by the dspensa-
tion of prodigaly generous providence in the days
Of the thirteen primitive colonies.
How thankful we would be if today we would but
have Washington, devoid Of ambition, scrupulousy
exact in fidelity to his oath to preserve protect and
defend the Constitution serenely Indifferent to the
petty purposes of partisan politics, and deserving
and receiving the ungrudgng trust of men of great
intellect, although of divergent political views
What would we not give for Hamilton, to rework
the miracle of bringing order out of financial chaos
paying the national debts, establishing the public
credit on unshakeable foundations and starting the
nation on it's way to the creation of opportunity for
working men and working women to enjoy the best
conditions of life and the highest wages every known
in all the history of the world?
What would we not give for Jefferson, to rein
struct office holders in the fundamental fact that
they are the servants and not the masters of the peo
pie; to sound warning against concentration of
power in the hands of few; to point out that the
liberties of republics have most often been over
thrown by those men who commenced their public
careers by paying obsequous compliments to the peo-
pie, COMMENCING DEMAGOGUES AND END
ING TYRANTS?
However, it is idle to suppose that Providence will
always and unendingly solve our difficulties 1t is
only proper and just that if we are to enjoy more
abundant rights and material and spiritual blessings
than other people on earth do even at the pres
ent time, WE SHOULD UTILIZE WHAT INTELLI-
GENCE WE HAVE TOWARD THAT END
It has been said truthfuy that the greatest nher-
tance of the American people is the Constitution of
the United States. This document, which can be read
comfortably in less than thirty minutes has chal-
enged the admiration not only of all thoughtful and
intelligent Americans, but of all foreign statesmen
who believe in the theory of government by the con-
sent of the governed.

simultaneously, Ethiopia scored
a major victory by accepting IN

Report Tomorrow
The committee of five will meet
again tomorrow to draw up a
formal report, whereupon the
Council will probably draft an
other report recording Italy's re-
flsal of the Leagues conciliat1on

The question of the most favor
able procedure under Article XIV
will then be gone into. If Italy
is found to have violated that ar

Solid Front Seen
The committee of five chose
not to consider Baron AloislS s
remarks in his verbal communi'
cation with Chairman Madariaga
as definite "counter-proposalS," p"
an action significant in that it
left the issue plainly one Of
Abyssinian acceptance and 1tal'

A spokesman for the French
delegation said Premier Laval
from now on will consider his role
at Geneva mainly as that Of a
member of the Council, and not
primarily as that Of French For
eign Minister, as in the recent
past.
This pointed to a solid Franco
British alignment in support OF
the League Covenant and its pro-
visions for applications Of sane
tions against an aggreSsor nation.
The committee met at 10:40 to-
day with all its juridical and Afri-

CONSTITUTION .
By JOHN FRANCIS NEYLAN

In hundreds of Cities towns and villages on ConStl-
tuition Day millions of our citizens turned their
thoughts to consideration OF the Constitution OF the
United States. Their doing so is a matter of the
greatest significance.
There could be no more wholesome indication of
revving interest in ordered and constitutional
than the apparent anxiety of the people at
large to reacquant themselves with the provisions of
the charter of liberty under which this nation in the
brief period of 148 years. accomplished its rise from
the status of an almost hopelessy dsheartened and
bankrupt confederacy to the position of the most
powerful nation on earth.
approach this matter in no partisan spirit-but,
for proper understanding, must take cognizance
of public expressions having bearing on the subject
matter
It is true that the Constitution the sailing chart of
the American Republic, comes down from the horse
and-buggy days.
It is likewise true that the sun occupies the same
place in the heavens as it did in the horseandbuggy
days.
It is also true that the North Star revolved in it's
orbit as it did in the horse-and-buggy days.
It is also true that two and two make four as they
did in the horse buggy days.
1T IS ALSO TRUE THAT MEN, WOMEN AND
CHILDREN LOVE LIBERTY, THE RIGHT TO
OF FREE SPEECH, AND THE RIGHT OF PRO-
lection FROM BUREAUCRATIC MEDDLING
AND EXCESSIVE TAXATION, AS THEY DID IN
THE HORSE-AND-BUGGY DAYS. 1T IS ALSO
TRUE, AS THE FOUNDERS OF THE REPUB-
Lie UNDERSTOOD, THAT OFFICE HOLDERS,
FOLLOWING THE RECKONING FINGER OF
AMBITION, ARE PRONE TO USURP POWER
AND SEEK TO RETAIN THE LUXURY THAT
GOES WITH PERPETUATION IN OFFICE, AS
THEY WERE IN THE HORSE-AND-BUGGY|
DAYS AND FAR BACK INTO THE RECESSES
