Der, when he went to Parlia-

With the constitutional au-

he went to King George and de-
manded that the King name a

definitely Liberal, to overcome
the previous rejection.

man began to climb, a curious
mixture of practically and

Subtly he undermined the
Prime Ministership and fin
ished out the war as the head
of the British government. The
aftermath of the war, the
breakdown of the Treaty of
Versailles, the disillusionment
which followed sent him back
to Wales in political exile, to
write his memoirs in pepper
and salt, to tell secrets of di-
plomacy and of the Versailles
peace table which some people,
perhaps, would have liked to
suppress.

They will doubtless count up
on the Presidents support. His
attitude toward their candi-
dacies may reveal the extent of
his sympathy with their reVo-
lutionary proposals.
NEW DESPOTISM
Under the Europeanizing Of
government which these New
Dealers are advocating as a
substitute for the government
of the constitution, every indi-
vidual in the land would be at
the mercy of a despotism in
Congress or of dictator in
the White House.
The changes in the American
system of government (Which
these New Dealers have advo-
Gated at the University Of Vir-
ginia, where stands memorial
to Madison, 1.-THE Father of the
Constitution are revolutionary
changes. They are changes
which, if made, would cut the
heart out of the American Con-
stitution and put a ball and
chain on the ankle of every
member of the Supreme Court
of the United States.
If the Lewis-Sisson program
is to be the Roosevelt platform
for reelection next year, then
political parties will pass for
the time into oblivion. The line
up in such struggle will not
come between North and South
or East and West. It will not
come between native-born Amer
leans and Americans by choice.
It will not come between Gen
tile and Jew. It will not come
between conservatives and pro-
gressives. 1t will con- between
all supporters of the American
system of government, estab-
lished by the Constitution of the
United States, and its enemies
in the Household of the Nation,
who prefer a European system
of government.
If the LeWis-Sisson plan for
Europeapizing our system of
government is to be the RooSe-
welt platform for reelection, it
is hard to believe that Vice
President Garner would stultify
himself by accepting renomina-
ton as the Presidents running
mate. Everything for which
Mr.. Garner has hitherto stood
in public life would be trampled
under feet if the Lewis-Sisson
system of government should
ever supplant the American
system.
TRIAL BALLOONS
But both Congressman Lewis
and Congressman Sisson are
enthusiastic supporters of the
New Deal Administration and
they are emphatic in outlining
revolutionary proposals in re-
gard to the Constitution as es-
sential to the future success of
the New Deal program. Whether
they are getting encouragement
from the White House to send
up trial balloons, the men,
bers of the Virginia Institute
have no way of knowing.
Fortunately for the future Of
American liberty and justice, the
Trainers of the Constitution did
not entrust the power to amend
it exclusively to Congress. A
constitutional amendment can
be submitted to the several
States only if it is adopted by
two-thirds vote in both houses.
To be ratified it must receive
the approval of three-fourthS OF
the legislatures of the States.
No less fortunately the
Trainers of the Constitution
eliminated the President entire
ly from the amending process
He had nothing whatever to do
with it constitutionally. Ameri
can citizens therefore can vote
to support the government OF
the Constitution without being
guilty of "diSloyalty" to any
President in the White House

DOCTOR DAFOE IS
 MUCH CONCERNED

Callander, Ont, Nov. 11.-(UP) -Dr. Allan Dafoe, physician to the Dionne quintuplets, told the United Press to-day he. did not know if he would be expected to appear per- sonally in the motion picture fea- turing the famous babies, contracts for which were signed between the Ontario government and Fox Films over the week end.
 T don't know whether somebody else, some real actor, will take my part as. the babies doctor in the film, or if I'll be expected to play it myself" he said.
 He said he understood the picture would be based on g stroy of his life.
 "The motion picture contract was accepted by the government and the babies guardians because VIC n2ed the money for the quintuplts tylist fund, as long as 1t doesn't hurt the babies" he said.
 There will be no strong arc lights l lused in filming the picture"

BRIEFS FILED IN
 GEORGIA CASE

Washington, Nov. 11-(UP)-So- licitor General Stanley Reed today filed briefs with the U. s. supreme court opposing the right of Cover nor Eugene Talmadge to bring suit in the name of the state of Georgia challenging the Bankhead cotton control act.
 Reeds briefs were filed in response to an order from the supreme court to show cause why Georgia should not be allowed to bring the test of the law, one which Talmadge had attacked often and bitterly.
 Reed did not go into the merits of the controversy over actual val- idity of the law. Instead the docu- ment devoted its Al pages to chal- lenge of propriety of the action. The Georgia suit charged that the law is invalid because 1t deprives the state of it's right to grow cotton on two farms it owns.
 In answering the complaint, which named Secretary of Agricul- ture Henry A. Wallace, Collector of Internal Revenue Guy T. Helvering, Secretary of Treasury Henry Mor- genthau. Jr., and Attorney General Homer s. Cummings, Reed charged that necessary party to the action was the collector of internal revenue of Georgia who was a citizen of the state and therefore could not be used.

 As he spoke two Italian flying columns, moving with amazing speed. pushed into the heart of eastern Ethiopia.
 He had just reviewed a parade of the armed forces when he ap- peared on the balcony of his ven- ezia palace to say two sentences:
 ''The forces you have seen this morning with all their weapons, and especially in their spirit, are ready to defend Italy's interests in Eu- rope, Africa or anywhere.
 Squared Two Old Accounts
 'In one month we have regulated two old accounts (apparently the Italian defeats at Aduwa and Ma kale, Ethiopia, in 1896) and the remainder will be settled later"
 Then he strode back into his ofiice. Between the two sentences of his speech, made at the clamor- ous demand of the crowd, the noon sirens and church bells interrupted him for several long moments. He smiled and gestured with his arm, indicating that the signals we're too powerful to speak against.
