They left the door open to
change-very wide open, too. And
they clearly expected plenty of

" Where with eur
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pre-
fsundly, sometimes Aippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

The constitution is very much dis
cussed document. Supreme court JUS
tices talk about it and machinists talk
about it. Miners talk about it and
women cleaning offices at night talk
about it.
There will be more talk before there
is less.
Because of the constitution, the
courts say we cannot do certain
things.
The president says the supreme
court has left no-man's land, by
its latest decision.
That is true in a sense, except that
the no-man's Land is in reality very
definitely the employers land.
They have possession and the peo-
pie cannot put them out-under the
constitution as the courts now define
it. 1t is no-court's land, but it really
isn't no-man's land
In this strange border zone Of juris-
prudence, no congress or legislature
may set up barriers. That means that
whatever the employers can force upon
workers is legal in that zone.
There is no one to say them nay,
except unions.
Again we come to the old, old les
son: 1t is best of all to have strong
unions.
If the unions are strong enough
/ there is no need to bother the courts
Except where the courts are used
to create barriers against Lawful
action by unions, which is by no means
something unknown.
Laws should give US liberty ant
rights from there on we should use
the strength of labor organization.
Of course we all know that the
courts have set aside the law otter
enough and have made it impossible
to use union strength, even where il
has existed.
The modern corporation, created by
the state, has managed to ride over
everything.
| And so it has become really state
| duty to lend protection to workers to
equalize rights and opportunities.
So, what ought to be the case very
often is not the case at all, just or
account of the might, the chicanery
and the stupidity of corporations
which could not exist, except by char
ter issued by the state.
When the state attempted to dea
with issues created because we have
great corporate entities, the court ha:
told us the law is not constitutional
1t is a pretty fix.
What the supreme court probably
is doing is to weaken the status Of
the states shielding corporate au
tocracy behind state skirts and thu
! building toward resentment that viii
rise up and cut away state powers
perhaps more than is necessary, il
order to be sure that the nationa

Political Moves Hinder Ideal Pan-Americanism

solely to the casual furtherance of
diplomatic, commercial, and, very sell
dom, cultural links between the two
Americas. 1t can scarcely, then, be
called more than a tendency, an in
definite aspiration.
The ideal of the pioneers Of Pan
Americanism, on the other hand, went
much further than that They
dreamed of political symtem in which
all the states of the New World would
be closely bound to one another. They
had in mind a system in which all
the American republics would be po-
ltically associated, without losing
their internal sovereignty, and in
which all would enjoy equal rights,
share the same responsibilities and
comply with similar obligations.
That, at least, was the pan-Amer-
canism of Simon Bolivar, the great
South American liberator, who was
first in visualizing the possibilities of
the idea and, what is more important,
first in actually working for its real
ization.
In spite of all the substitutes which
have been offered since and in spite
of the frequency with which the
original idea has been forgotten, that
still remains the only kind of pam
Americanism which is truly ethical,
practical and, even though not for
the moment, feasible. It certainly is
the only kind Of pan-Americanism
compatible with the principles Of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-04-26

equality, mutual respect and COM
mon assistance which we hear so
eloquently praised at the celebration
of each pan-American day.
1t may be, although at times it
seems hard to believe, that the pres
ent pan-American tendency even
tually will lead us to such an ambi-
tious goal. Let us hope it will. But
it is only fair to admit that in nearly
half a century it could have brought
us much nearer to it than we are now.
AS a matter of face, whenever the
current pan-American tendency has
taken on political appearance, when
ever it has ventured on political
ground, it has taken us farther away
from that goal.
When say "the present pan-Amer-
lean tendency" I am referring. of
course, to the movement started by
Secretary Blaine in 1889, the one
which was celebrated recently-the
pan-Americanism of the pan-Ameri-
can conferences, of non-committal,
diplomatic flirting, of fowery speeches
and forgotten recommendations. And
by the incursions of this sort of pam
Amerltanism on political ground,
mean the errors and abuses committed
under the transformed Monroe Doc
trine, the North American fiat" of
Cleveland and Olney, the "big stick"
of Theodore Roosevelt. the dollar
diplomacy" Of Taft and Knox, the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-04-26

"big brother" attitude of Wilson and
Coolidge, etc.
It tan hardly be denied that these
things have hurt the political prestige
of a1-Americanism. But it was so
only because they were improperly
covere with the pan-American label.
The m,ly thing these unfortunate ex-
perierues can prove is that the fault
was i, letting one country alone in
terpret by itself the political scope Of
pan-AInericanism and determine the
rights and duties supposedly inherent
in it.
Under general and permanent
organization, under a pan-American
system of equal obligations and equal
rights, no such misunderstanding
and no such abuse of power would
have been possible. Indeed, the very
errors committed in the name of pam
Americanism should constitute the
strongest arguments to emphasize the
need for a more concrete, more sub
stantial and genuine pan-American
scheme.
OF course, any modern statesmen
who imagined that the ambitious goal
of the true pioneers of pan-Ameri-
canism could be reached overnight,
in the present order Of things, would
be bound to suffer the same disillu.

Historical Archives
New Nazi Creation

BERLIN R.-The Reich's institute
for the history of modern Germany,
recent Nazi creation under the min
istry of the interior, is preparing to
compile new historical archives.
Prof. Walter Frank, chief of the in
stitute, announces that three new
research departments have been
created. The first bears the designa-
ton: 1.-THE German and European
Jewish question:" and has its seat in
Munich.
The second is concerned with "the
political leadership in the World War
and will be conducted by Col. Walter
Nicolal, we'll known former chief of
the Information Bureau of the old
imperial general staff.
The third deals with the postwar
period and the development Of ma
tional socialism.
Frank has made a nation wide ap-
peal for material, especially from con-
temporary authorities, for the new
archives. which, he says, will have
q personal note"

Just how great is. or has been, the
danger that the new European con-
ception of society and government
may take hold in America? I do no:
wish to overemphasize the danger.
Americans are people very different
from Russians, Germans or Italians
And in discussing the danger, in order
to avoid being unnecessarily contro-
versial, let us not charge that any
individual in America is deliberately
attempting to introduce the new order
here. I am not asserting that there
is no such individual in america,
for every well informed reader knows
there are many-some have put their
purpose in the plainest possible words.
But let us get away from all that.
Let us omit all mention of persons and
talk only about conditions and forces
Just in order to get the question as
free as possible from personalities aid
controversial terms. let us start with
the depression. Let us put the blame
on the depression and state the stu
alton this way:
lea was subjected to two risks: One
risk was that the country might gravi-
tate into, or be taken into, a changed
conception Of society and government.
The other danger was that America
might pass into period of violent in
flation of the sort that took place in
several European countries following
the war
The danger that America might be
taken into, or gravitate into, the new
conception of society and government
is-as a direct danger-at this time
materially less than some time ago.
The danger in its most concrete form
lay in two emergency devices We
adopted. One was N. R A., the other
Triple A.
I think that nearly all competent
students will agree that N. r. A. and
Triple A we're institutions which, If
they had been kept, would have grown
by forces within themselves until

N-AMER1CANlSM Is Iash-
- ionable term these days. What
with the observance of Pam
\ American day and the prepara-
lions for the forthcoming Pan-Ameri-
can Peace Conference at Buenos Aires,
the newspapers have been crowded
with optimistic appraisals OF the pres
ent scope and possibilities OF the
movement. Such optimism may be
justified by the gains made recently
in the field of inter american rela-
tons, but lest the enthusiasm Of the
moment obscure our vision, we should
keep in mind, as we pointed out IN
reviewing such gains, that the true
goal of Pan-Americanism Is still far
from having been achieved.
Without attempting, therefore, to
wrest significance from the suspicious
events mentioned here and elsewhere
as highlights of recent Pan-American
progress, it may be appropriate to
dwell upon some of the fundamental
principles underlying Pan-American-
ism itself.
Pan-Americanism, as practiced to-
day, Is quite far away from the goal
set by those who gave it to the world.
It is today merely state of mind-a
school of thought based on. geographic
propinquity, economic interests and
the similarity of political institutions
among the nations Of the Western
Hemisphere. 7ub 1t confines itself
