RECEIPT OF MANY LETTERS
EXPRESSING PLEASURE ON
LEARNING OF NEWS

During the past few weeks hun
dreds of letters have been re-
ceived by Miss Ileen Williams, OF
the Housing Department OF the
WPA expressing happy reactions
to the announcement OF the al
lOtment for the Oversee Bridges.
Most OF these, however, have
not been after reading articles in
the paper, but after receipt Of a
post card, hundreds of which were
sent out by Miss Williams to
friends and winter visitors now
in different parts Of the country.
Typical of the letters received
is one from H. F. McLaury, adj
vertising agent OF the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad
company, who was here last sea-
son with his family and were
guests at the Casa Marina Hotel.
Mr.. McLaury writes: GAS a mat
ter of fact L have not read any
thing in the newspapers about the
appropriation for the highway
bridges from Miami to Key West,
50 it was doubly good news to re-
ceive your post card of June 10.
"Unless all signs fail Mrs. Nc
Laury, baby and 1 viii be back
down there this winter, for we
are as enthusiastic about Key West
as ever and, judging from past
experience, it has the almost
unique advantage Of being safely
away from the cold weather"

Several OF Supreme Courts
Decisions Looked Upon In

Much Talk OF Constitu-

WASHINGTON, June IA
dime could straddle the differ.
ence between the views of man
Republicans and Democrats as to
what could be done to meet the
situation arising from the SUI
preme court decisions against the
coal law and the New York min.
imum wage law.
Talk of constitutional amend
ment sPrang up naturally.
The court said rigb. of con-
tract agreement on wages) could
not be abridged, and that mini.
mum wages could not be fixed by
law.
Some who would like to see
federal laws able to bring about
wage agreements feel. neverthe-
less, that the right of contract is
an important right and. further.
that it is only one step from fix
ing minimum wages to liking
maximum wages.
The Dilemma
How to open a gap for ventila-
ton without inviting in a storm
was the technical question pro
jected in certain quarters.
That part of the fourteenth
amendment upon which the deci-
sion was based reads:
''No state shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities OF citi-
zens of the United States; nor
shall any state deprive any per-
son Of life, liberty or property,
without due process Chats the
famous phrase) o. law; nor deny
to any person within its jurisdic-
ton the equal protection of the
laws"
The fourteenth amendment was
advanced shortly after the Civil
War, largely as the basi supon
which Confederate states could
re-enter the Union. Besides the
"due process" clause, it provided,
among other things, that any dis
Reimbursement of males Cor in
this case Negroes would bring
on a proportionate reduction in
congressional representation.
Years Bring Change
Most Confederate states de-
nOunced it, but it was ratified by
a majority of the states within
the Union.
It's original purpose largely has
been lost sight of with the passage
of years. 1t has become a pedes-
tai upon which has been stacked
volumes of "court law" affecting
almost every phase of business
and industry.
While some caustic commenta-
tors refer to it as the Corpora
tons protective amendment"
even they consider it has become
so much a foundation stone of
business law as almost to pre-
clude tearing it bodily out of the
constitution by repeal.

Baldwin Defies ClaInor OF Foes;
Says He'll Quit In My Own Time
Now Believed He Is De-
termined To Remain As
Head OF Government AT
Least Another Year
By CHARLES p. NUTTER

ASSOCIATED Press Foreign Staff
LONDON, June 27.-T will
retire in my own good time" has
been Prime Minister Baldwin's
only public reply to repeated de-
mands that he quit public life.
This clamor arose amid waves
of criticism that swept Great Brit
ain after the sanctions policy
against Italy failed and the bud
get leakage scandal forced Bald
wins colonial secretary, "Jim"
Thomas, out of both the cabinet
and parliament.
Best authorizes now believe
Baldwin, his anger and stubborn
streak aroused by the attacks. is
determined to remain head Of the
government until after the coro-
nation of King Edward year
hence.
Changes Make Enemies
Since the general elections last
November gave Baldwin a sweep
ing mandate to continue in power.
nearly everything has gone wrong
for the aging premier.
The cry Resign! Resign"
arose very soon after the votes
were counted, when the country
turned against the Hoare-Laval
plan to stop the Ethiopian war,
and forced Baldwin to scuttle his
foreign minister, Sir Samuel
HOare.
Baldwin's action in naming An
thony Eden to the post appears to
have made a mortal enemy of his
old friend Sir Austen Chamber
lain, just as Baldwin's earlier ac-
ton in leaving the Rt. Hon. Win
ston Churchill out of the cabinet
embittered, that notable who sup
ported Baldwin in the election
after fighting him for years on
the India bill.
Reminded OF Mistakes
Neither of them has missed an
opportunity to fire barbed gibes
into the prime minister, repeated
ly calling him to task for his
answers to embarrassing ques-
tions, or reminding him of the
failure of certain policies. ~
The old cry has been revived
that Britain alienated Italy witho-
out benefiting Ethiopia, greatly
weakened the League of Nations,
tried out halfway measures to
stop the conflict. and that Brit
aims whole foreign policy is a COL
lection Qf.uncertainties and in
constituencies.
On top OF these developments
the story of the budget leakage
broke over Baldwin's head.
Call Premier 'Dormouse'
Members o. parliament are call
ing Baldwin 1.-THE dormouse" be-
cause he has not dashed back at
the rising tide o. ctiricism. Cen
eral belief there, however, is that
he will not much longer restrain
himself.
"Once again the hounds are in
full cry after Baldwin. Will they
get him this time? There is no
other question being discussed in.
Westminster" said +. H. Bernays.
member of parliament, in re-
cent article.
Bernays reached the conclusion
Baldwin won't be bounded out of
office, but that he will retire af-
ter the coronation because of his
age.

Georgetown Gardens
Open Nav 9 and 10

The committee handling the
Georgetown garden pilgrimage plans
each year to give the public something
new to look forward to-something
different and more attractive than
was offered the year before. Dum-
barton Oaks, the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, listed for
May 9, differs in its planting and
blooming from year to year, and that
one garden alone is worth the trip to
Georgetown, even if there is not time
nor strength to visit all the other gar
dens listed for that afternoon. This
year the special, extra attraction" for
the second days showing Saturday af-
ternoon, May 16, will be the grounds
of the Georgetown Visitation Convent
at Thirty-fif and P streets. This is
the oldest visitation convent in Amer
lea, having been established in 1899.
The grounds have never before been
open to the public.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gordon Dunthorne are delighted to
know that they are back in their
Georgetown home and are adding
their very charming formal garden,
designed entirely by themselves, to
the second days list.
