Constitutional Changes
BIZ James T. Williams, Jr.

Signs are multiplying that the
reelection of the Administration
may be followed by formidable
attempt next year to rewrite the
Constitution Of the United States.
Several Senators and Represent
atives in Congress, in the conf
dence of the Administration and
enthusiastically committed to its
reelection, will press proposals at
the present session for drastic
changes in the Constitution.
One of these groups will urge
the calling of a constitutional con-
vention to rewrite the Constitu.
ton. This group insists that the
organic law is out Of date and
should be "modernized."
The other group will attempt
to do the same thing to the Con.
Stitution in a different way. The
members of this other group will
propose a series of major amend
ments to the Constitution. the
effect of which would be much
the same as if the organic law
should be rewritten.
Thus far the Administration
has refrained from committing
itself directly to either scheme.
But members of the AdminiStra-
ton are more and more raising
the question in one way or an
other whether the Constitution,
in it's present form has not out
1ivad arc 11cnf1Ilnacc
Mr.. Roosevelt has seemed to
encourage this movement to re-
write the Constitution, either by
major amendment or by Con-
stitutional convention, upon more
than one occasion.
PROPOSED PLANS
One Of the times he encour-
aged this anti Constitutional move
ment was when he criticized the
unanimous decision Of the SUI
preme Court, which held the
NRA invalid.
Another time was when he
wrote to a committee of Congress
urging the enactment of one Of
his legislative proposals, regard
less of reasonable doubts by mem
bers Of Congress concerning its
constitutionality.
Then, too, Mr.. Tugwell, Mr..
Wallace and Mr.. Ickes, who, of
course, speak for Mr.. Roosevelt,
have helped along the movement
to rewrite the Constitution by
spreading the notion that this or
that public measure, which they
urge as essential to the public
welfare, cannot be enacted under
the present Constitution or with
the approval of the Supreme
Court, as now constituted.
The latest indication Of the
trend of the Administration
toward drastic changes in the
Constitution is to be found in
the changes recently ordered by

Within one recent month, nine
wives in widely separated parts OF
these United States committed
murder. Shot their husbands, or
working women friends Of their
husbands. And in each case, be-
fore the news had been an hour
on the street, the same thing
happened
The wives Of each community
rallied en- maSSe to the defense OF
the shooting lady-and against the
shot man or woman.
Mind you, it had not been
proven in any case that the man
was unfal hful, or the woman
illicitly connected with him. Nor,
| in most of the cases, did the wife
attempt to advance any proof
She merely stated that she had
been wronged." This was enough.
Unhesitatingly, thousands Of
women who had never seen her, or
had any possible interest in her
affairs, upheld her act and con-
demned her victim, particularly
the woman in the case. Toward
this latter, their attitude was loud
with unrestrained bitterness.
Surely, this is a curious and
significant fact. American women
are not stupid, inexperienced or
badly treated. They have, on the
average, better educations and a
larger freedom than women of
any other nation. They have,
when young, far more opportunity
to associate with the other sex,
and nearly all of them work with
men before marriage.
MASS SUSPICION
Then why this mass suspicion
and hate of working women-this
instant assumption that no work
ing woman is any better than she
ought to be?.
The whole thing roots in envy
and bewilderment. The home
woman suspects and condemns
the working woman on general
principles because the working
woman is what she, the. home
woman, isn't-and has what she
hasn't.
There has been a bigger change
in woman's world within the last
so years than in the preceding
500. Overnight all women have
been avalanched into new rights
and responsibilities which are be
yond the average woman'S under

to the new tempo
and tension.
The average mother expects to
run things as her mother ran
them, emotionally, and taking
her time about it. No one
blamed grandma for running
things that way. No one ex-
pected grandma to do things in
a mans way-compete with
mans methods. Why then should
she be blamed?
Yet she is blamed by her hus.
band and children and society
in general. Or worse yet, ignored.
Each day she faces increasingly
unfavorable comparison with the
efficient woman of the business
world. From her romantic view
point, masculine admiration has
but one significance-it implies
desire. If her husband praises
his secretary because she's prompt,
systematic, crisp-minded, it can
mean but one thing-he's in
love with her. Naturally, she
feels that the Working Woman
is Domestic Enemy No. l..
In addition to suspicion, ENVY
and SELF-PTFY enter the picture.
The working woman is sleek,
smart, slender where she-the
homemaker-is all too often a
dowdy dumping. The working
woman is modern to her polished
finger tips-knows the latest
jokes, the newest charm tech
nique. She has a thousand ways
Of meeting the immemorial sex
conflict where the wife has but
one-A Good Hard Cry.
SATURATION POINT
Above all, the working woman
enjoys companionship with men
which the wife never achieves,
but which she is never too old
or faded to desire. She. too,
could achieve it, she's sure, if
she didn't have to spend every
nickel on the children go
around in rags. live cooped up
in four walls, etc. But does any
one appreciate her sacrifice? Does
anyone reward her for "giving
the best years of her youth" to
a heartleSS brute of a man? They
do NOT!
So, day after day it mounts
the secret accumulation of susA
picion and fear, hate, envy and
self-pity. And some day-BANG!
the Saturation point is reached
But it isn't reasonable.
OF course it isn't.
But who ever said that women
were reasonable creatures?
And how many of us would
be born and tenderly, unselfishly'
reared through maddening child
hoods, if they were?

AMERICAN CREWS

The drive to further American
ize the United States merchant
fleet goes forward at the Capitol.
Those persons who were inter
eSted last session in the passage
of legislation designed to force
American ships to carry American
crews have a new proposal.
They would attach to the legiS.
lation sponsored by Senator Royal
S. Copeland, Democrat, OF New
York, providing for ship subsidies,
a provision which would prevent
the Government from paying
monies to shipping concerns whose
vessels did not carry 100 per cent
American crews. -
Advocates of such legislation
worked successfully last session
to advance "Americanization" OF
crews of merchant vessels.
Fresh in the minds Of most
members of Congress was the
Moro Castle disaster and the re
ports that her crew was largely
alien.
They now say that the Govern
ment should not be permitted to
pay subsidies to any company
which does not hire native-born
or fully naturalized Americans
and they are hopeful that the
Congress will not have forgotten
the result of the employment OF
unframed alien seamen.
They would also have the Con
gress enact legislation providing
that all crews and officers on
American vessels for which sub
sides are paid be those men who
had received their training or
American ships.
Both proposals will be fought
by shipping concerns that dislike
to pay the additional wages they
might be required to give with
full American crews but there il
chance, some persons believe
that the first proposal may bt
accepted If the Copeland shiT
subsidy bill is adopted.

lthe Secretary Of Commerce in the
requirements for the naturalizing
of aliens.
These requirements have been
revised so as to make it much
easier for an alien to pass that
part of the test designed to re.
veal his knowledge of the Consti-
tuition.
But Secretary Perkins went
even further in "greasing" the
way for easy entrance into Amer.
lean citizenship, when she d.
rected that special emphasis be
placed upon that part of the
Constitution dealing with the
methods by which it can be
amended.
How far the Administration
will go before the November cleo.
ton in revealing to the public its
secret designs upon the American
system of government will doubt
less depend upon forthcoming de-
cisions from the Supreme Court.
If these decisions are against
the constitutionality Of major
Administration measures, the Ad.
ministration may make Roadway
in mobilizing groups Of citizens
to demand drastic constitutional
changes.
ARTICLE v
There are two ways in which
the Constitution can be amended.
They are set forth in Article V,
which reads as follows:
"The Congress, whenever two.
thirds Of both houses shall
deem it necessary, shall propose
amendments to this COnstitu-
ton, or on the application Of
the legislatures of twO-thirdS Of
the several States, shall call a
convention for proposing amend.
ments, which in either case,
shall be valid to all intents and
purposes as part Of this Con.
stitutiOn, when ratified by the
legislatures Of three-fOurthS Of
the several States, or by conven.
tiOnS in three-fOurthS thereof,
as the one or the other mode
Of ratification may be proposed
by the Congress"
It is because of the assault on
the whole American system of
government which may be
launched after the November
election that makes the elections
to the Senate and House Of Repre-.
sentatives of greater Importance
this year than they have been for
many, many years.
In the event Mr.. Roosevelt is
reelected the duty of preventing
the junking Of the American sys-
tenn of government for some Euro
pean system of personal govern.
ment may become the paramount
opportunity and obligation Of the
next Congress.

sOurceS-physical, cultural and
educatiOnal-and isolate the
country as a small, manageable
unit, we could do our part In
fighting off the ruin Of the de-
presSiOn-particuIarly the devas-
tatiOn of youth.
again we thought of the
rich man, and again there was
no possibility of reaching him.
But we pooled our own re-
sources, got some help from one
Of the big foundations and
made progress in organizing
and energiZing our country, an
effort of which we are very
proud. We believe Colonel
Lindbergh could safely live in
our country. / am sure our
rich neighbOr never heard Of
our enterprise.
Down the road was a beauti-
full old colonial church, a noble
structure, but abandoned and
rOtting. We wanted to save it
and use it for a community hall
and cultural center. About
$4,000 was required. Again we
tried to break through the de-
tense of our village CrOeSuS,
and again we failed. Not that
he is tight-fiSted or mean. 1t
was simply that a rich man to
live in America must isolate
himself from all human neigh
bOrly contacts.
1--WE couldn't swing the money.
The church is a roadside eye
sore taken over for commercial
use. There is no gathering
place, no place of recreation,
for the poorer boys and girls of
the village. Two other families
are slipping down along with
the broken family at the fork
of the road. A few months ago,
we read in q New York paper
that our rich man had made a
handsome gift to a certain uni
versity for furtherance Of post
graduate studies. There's the
nub of the whole thing.
CAT HIS DOOR"
"With decay and human
wreckage at his door, with a
threatened breakdown Of order
prevented in his own county by
other and poorer men. he had
made his gift to a remote and
already highly endowed educa-
tiOnal luxury.

of the road is sliding right down

but there's something else here
"There were mighty intelli'
gent men among those who
worked on the rehabilitation OF
our county. 1t was a labOra'
tory experiment IN SOCIAL Ee'
conditioning which already has
engaged the attention Of sew
eral alert economists. But the
man who could have backed 1t
with power, means and intelli'
gence has, I am sure, never
heard of it and never will.
"There's an American Dead
End for yOu-the sterilization
of the social forces which might
