In America, DR.. William Mather
Lewis, president of La Fayette College
and former president Of George
Washington University, said in an
address at the commencement cere-

yesterday.
DR.. Lewis urged the graduates to
foster and support cultural develop
ment in their communities, saying
Couture must come from the women
Of this country"
AS a means toward this end, he
stressed the Importance of higher
education for women and declared
that lin the hands of women more
than in the hands of men depends
the future of the country"
DR.. Lewis blamed most of the ills
of the world upon what he termed
"misinterpretation of real values,
which he held responsible for the
governmental instability of certain
foreign nations AS a real remedy for
war he suggested changing the con-
scription age limits to include only
men between 40 and so. This would
catch those legislators and leaders who
plan our wars, he pointed out.

REED OFFERS PLAN
Of IMPEACHMENT
Ex-senator Bases Hypo-

Message to Congress.
By the Associated Press.

BY tQe ASSoClhte0 HIeSS.
CHICAGO, September ia state
ment attributed to President Roose-
welt was used today by former Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri as the
basis for a hypothetical discussion OF
Impeachment" in an address pre-
pared for delivery before the Chicago
Bar Association.
After outlining the history Of the
Constitution and reciting the presi-
dental oath to uphold it, Reed said:
ION January 3. 1886, in a
solemn message to Congress, .
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
They (the economic autocracy)
realize that in "a months we have
built up instruments of public power.
In the hands of peoples government
this power is wholesome and proper,
but In the hands of political puppets
of an economic autocracy such power
would provide shackles for the liber-
ties of the American people,
Cites Three Results.
Reed, a Democrat and foe OF
the New Deal, asserted that
whether rightly or wrong
fully employed by the present ad-
ministration, if powers have been
set up by which 'shackles can be riv-
eted upon the American people, then
three things follow:
81. The creation Of such powers is
indirect defiance of the principles OF
the Declaration of Independence and
of the entire Constitution OF the
United States.
80. That he who has created such
a power in defiance of the Constltu-
ton of the United States has vio-
lated his solemn oath of office.
"3. That if powers to place shack
les upon the liberties Of the Amerl-
can people have been set up by one
man or one administration, they can
be exercised by any succeeding ad-
ministration or by any dictator who
may by stealth or violence gain
power.
Compared to Blacklist" History.
ITO find a similar assertion OF
power by any ruler whose tyrannies
have cursed the world one must turn
to the blackest pages of oppression
and slavery y"
Reed said that "if a courageous
and independent House of Represen-
tatives had presented articles Of i'm
peachment against Mr.. Roosevelt
containing the single charge: He
has been guilty of misdemeanors in
this, to wit, that he has set up pow
ers which may be so exercised as to
provide shackles for the liberties of
the American people and presented
that article of impeachment to the
Senate and had there proved the
truth of the charge, Senate COM
posed of honest and fearless men
would have been obliged, under their
oaths as judges, to sustain the bill OF
Impeachment"
Outlines Hypothetical Bill.
The former Senator, one of the or
ganizers Of the administration
"Jeffersonian Democratic" group, ther
outlined hypothetical bill of par.
ticulars."
He attacked N. r. A. and the CUT
fey coal bill, and asserted "evidenct
is abundant" that it is the fixed pur.
pose of the New Dealers to change the
membership of the Supreme Court.
Reeds prepared speech concluded
with the statement:
THE Constitution may have beer
framed in the horse and buggy days
but would rather ride in a buggy in
company with George Washington
