OF PRECEDENCE

Gle Sam. kindly democratic old gentle
man that he IS supposed to be. should
transform into a hickory club for the
sole purpose of breaking it over the head
of tie crisis-maker.
You can talk all you want to about

Italian sensitiveness and continental stu
pidity, but if took good American citi-
zen to send the tide of bigoted stupidity

background entities us to believe that
something else should have been expect
ed from him.
The diplomatic Wash-Out referred TO
is Paul Y. McNutt, new high commits
sioner from the United States govern
ment to the Filipino Commonwealth.
Diplomacy. to Mr.. McNutt, seems to
mean gold braid, embossed Silverware
and proper placecards at the banquet
table. AT least, that was the indication
he gave when he raised an entirely un-
necessary odor by insisting point-blank
that he be toasted at formal functions
after President Roosevelt and before
President Manuel Quezon or any other
Filipino Commonwealth officials.
One wonders if Mr.. McNutt would
not be tickled pink to have his title chang
ed from just plain, everyday, American
high commissioner" to Lord High Com
missioner" 1t sounds so much BETTER
Perhaps diplomacy in the Philippines
follows different channel, but it is
mighty hard for a poor duffer on the
sdelines to understand what difference
il makes. anyhow, whose name is men,
toned first when the glasses are raised
to a better understanding and a firmer
friendship. Precedence has never played
much of a hand in this country. If 1t
had, there wouldn't be any country here.
However, there is one rule of preced-
ence that Mr. McNutt, regardless of his
fastidious regard for the rules of the
social register, seems to have overlooked
Common sense takes precedence above
all other precedences when man is talk
ing to man or government is talking

WASHINGTON.-Only a tiny dribble of the
mail now coming to Congress from its consti-
tuents mentions the Supreme Court.
The largest patches of it have to do with
issues of war and peace. Ine volume isn't any
where large as the Supreme Court mail
of few weeks ago, but it is persistent and sub
stantial.
Highest on the mail count among the three
main issues in the war-peace field is the resolu-
ton of Congressman Louis Ludlow for refer
endum declarations of war and for the elm
ination of profits. Nearly all the letters be-
ing received are in favor of it.
LudloW's proposed amendment would make
the power of Congress to declare war contn-
gent upon popular referendum, except in the
event of an invasion of the United States or its
territorial possessions (which involved attack
on American citizens. Congress, when 1t deem
ed national crisis to exist, could refer for ma
tional popular vote the question, Shall the
United States declare war on-? Without a
favorable vote, war couldn't oe declared
Upon declaration of war the President would
be required Immediately to conScript "all the
private war properties, yards factories and sup
plies fixing compensation at not more than
per cent on tax values.
Ludlow has 100 signatures for petition TO
discharge the resolution from the House Judi
ciary Committee but 218 are required.
The other measures are the Sheppard-Hlll
bill which gives the President power to establish
an economic dictatorship in case OF declaratlon
of war and Nye-Kvale bill, which would deny
federal funds to land grant colleges where MILL
tary training is made compulsory rather than
optional. Most mail is in opposition to the former
bill and in favor of the latter.
No one could add up all the Supreme
Court mail and anayze it, but there seems no
question that the great bulk of it was in opposi-
ton to the Presidents plan.

Feverishly he raped OF couple
