LOOKING BACK

Twenty years ago today-Apri g. l9l7-came the
open break in what the people of this country had
feared for many weeks 1t the formal declaration
OF war against Germany. Over night we moved from
the position of neutral but badly harassed. nation
to one of active participation Most of us recall the
excitement of those days and how we proudly asserted
that entering the war that was to END all war
Today 20 years later we realize the futiity of
that noble thought watch nations arming TO
the teeth and, for protection. do the same
thing The tramp of marching feet is today almost
as loud as it was in 1917 Europe, the scene of that
debacle 20 years ago again seethng cauldron War
lords of another day have been replaced with equally
ambitious aggressors better equipped and finding no
trouble at all in getting adventurous youngsters TO
fill the ranks Across the Pacific in the Orient the
descendants of the hordes who rode with Genghis
Khan centuries ago whipped to fighting tempo
With modern death-deang contrivances in their pos
sessions they march again And they march toward
one inevitable obectvewar
In the elapsing years since the end of the last
war it has been the laudable purpose TO attempt to
forestal another such conflict Many words have
been written and uttered pointing to the lessons we
might have learned from the unfortunate incidents
of the past Many more will be indited and spoken
for the same worthy purpose. In the meantime, good
Judgment will or should prevail high ideals
and we will continue to against determination
We will continue our program of national defense and
keep filled the ranks which depleted in the last
struggle.
If there is one lesson to be learned from that
declaration of war 20 years ago and the ensuing
slaughter it is the unhappy fact that to retard open
conflict it mighty smart thing to keep plenty of
powder on hand. True, the powerful may succumb
but not readily.

Factors in Unrest
CINCINNATI Enquirer

NCAlCiillldi 1ilqdlIeIJ
The world today is spending more than $1,000
900 600 year ornaments Perhaps the actual total
for the year 1887 will run considerably than this
addition all major powers trying to build up sur
plus stocks of vital materials, such as copper,
cotton tin and manganese, to insure an adequate
supply in the event of war. All this places an I'M
precedented burden the peoples of the world, re-
ducing their standard of living and more
wealth is diverted to amassing the instruments OF de-
struction
In itself this is long step backward toward bar
barism 1t also brings nearer the major war which
undoubtedly will produce barbarism, on vast scale.
But the effect is far because this surge OF
armament comes just at a time when the peoples
demanding betterment of their conditions OF life
The productive resources of the nations are not
great enough provide both Either they will be used
more largely for ornaments. they will be used for
social reconstruction such housing programs social
insurance, education and public health. few for
tl1nate countries like Sweden and Denmark are stay
ing out of the ornaments 1t is these countries
that are meeting most successfully the challenge Of
social problem created by long economic depression.
Some great powers already have cut social insur
ance and welfare projects materially in order to fin
ance rearmament Others will come to it shortly All
are engaged dangerous policy of initiation or credit
expansion, trying to both burdens The most
spectacular case is Germany where initiation Of credit
has reached dangerous point. France has narrowly
averted this-at the expense of welfare programs.
Great Britain and the United States able to sur
vive little longer, but already being forced to
choose between smaller armament, reduced stand
lards of living and dangerous initiation of credit.
Soviet Russia long sacrificed large measure of
being its people in order to prepare for war
on grandiose scale
This is the supreme tragedy of our time, proceed
inc reentIessly and gaining its greatest momentum
just as genuine worldwide recovery within sight
Worse there few signs that the worlds statesmen
will be able to set in motion remedial policies such
armament limitation, collective security, or re-

sort of gloom as treated to in Europe for a
time when any incident might have started another
war But it is more discouragng in other ways. be-
cause even though made the forces at work seem
so far beyond conscious human control.

COURT AMENDMENTS

There appears to be scores of them but five now al

inferior court and requiring two-thirds vote
of the Supreme Court to nvalldate an act
90 The Wheeler-Eone amendment pro-
vidng that any act declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court might be re-enacted by

viding for limit of nine years on the tenure OF

Despite the outlay of amendments, however,
Presidents original plan appears to be holding
position Turner Catledge writing FRI
washington for the New York Times. interprets
current situation in this way:
Unless and until there is some more def
mite agreement amendment to be pur-
sued the proposals pending, both as re-
lated to restricting the court and redefining
the powers OF Congress must take second place
to the Presidents own plan Regardless OF
all the opposition that it has evoked-and it
is CONFERENCE.-The Presidents plan of legis-
lative action TO rernake the court stands as
the one with the largest following. This is
due primarily, of course to the weight given,
it by the Presidents own sponsorship, but the
fact remains that it cannot be overthrown by
any amending proposal which has no more
followers than any of those which has
been discussed to date.
1t is apparent however, that the admins
tration leaders regard the pending amend
ments as offering the best weapon for those
who would change or stop the Presidents
plan AS a consequence, considerable part
of the testimony which they are presenting
before the Senate Judiciary Committee has
been devoted to the probable trials and tribu-
lations of amendments submitted at this time

Pittsburgh area, one of the largest

The circulars stated, in part:
Our brotherhood is now putting
on an active campaign for the proper

gagged in, including clerical workers.

The federation this week supported
proposed amendment to the new
Guffey bill that would have con-
demned sit-down strikes-the tech
nique employed by Lewis United Auto
mobile Workers in both the Chrysler
and General Motors strikes
The Senate turned down the amend
ment, but a day later adopted the res
olution assailing both sit-down strikes
and unfair labor practices by en-
ployers.

Defeat of the Dies resolution for a
sit-down investigation, Majority Lead

The measure called for no immedi-

time. The defeat surprised House
leaders, who had predicted it would
be adopted.
