CONSIDERS 'MEISY" DEATHS

Nebraska's unicameral legislature has
before it bill to legalize a mercy
death to any adult suffering a painful,
incurable disease
Sponsored by a male Senator the
measure is supported by a seventy-year-
old woman physician. DR.. Inez Celia Phil
brick, who believes in birth control, steril-
ization of degenerates and criminal de-
fectves and foresees State medicine. She
quit the American Medical Society be-
cause she objected to 1.-THE commercial
basis upon which medicine is being prac-
ticed."
The lady doctor has the courage of
her convictions, regardless of what one
may think of her views. There is, of
course, a natural reluctance to approve the
intentional killing of anyone, even an in
durable, and latent fear on the part Of
most of us that such power might be
abused. 8~

Thirteen Simple Facts
BY WALTER E. SPAHR
Department of Economics, New York University

/ In Congress to disown that portion
Of the platform relating to the Con-
stitution on which he and they were
elected in November.
6. He is not permitting the people
to vote on an amendment to the Com.
stitution in order to determine
whether they are willing. by Consti-
tutional process. to place in his hands
the powers he is seeking. Instead. so
ii is said, he IS resorting to circlifn-
vention. II
z. Ii the President had prepared an
amendment to the Constitution to be
submitted by Congress to the people,
no one could iegitimately object.
There might be objection to his seek
ing new powers but not to the method.
Discussion of a Constitutional amend
ment would give both the peopl, and
the President a clearer understands
ing OF what they are doing. But the
President has rejected this constitu-
tional procedure on the ground that
it requires too much time. Apropos OF
this. it may be recalled that ii re-
quired only little more than nine
months to amend the Constitution to
repeal the prohibition amendment.
8. Mr.. Roosevelt has taken the
position that the capacity OF the SUI
preme Court Justices may be inn
paired after they reach the age OF
seventy. believe he has taken no
such position regarding the elderly
Representatives or Senator's who par
ticipate in making our Federal laws.
9. Mr.. Roosevelt in the recent past.
has held that the Supreme Court can
be controlled by the partyain power.
In a campaign speech in Baltimore
in October 25. 1882. he said: THE
Republican Party was in complete
control of all branches of the govern
ment, the legislative with the Senate
and Congress. and the Executive De-
partment- and may add for full
measure to make it complete. the
United States Supreme Court. as
we'll" -
10. Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet
stated specifically that the true pur-
pose of his plan is to reconstruct the
Supreme Court so that il will vail
date the social and economic legisla-
ton of the New Deal. which has
either been outlawed by the Court or
faces such possibility. 30
IL. Mr.. Roosevelt has not yet stated
specifically that he believes that the
Supreme Court should be dominated
and guided by the President
II. President Roosevelt has not
yet, SO far as | know. stated to the
American people that he would en-
ploy devious methods or lack of can
dor in dealing with them. or that he
he has not chosen to prepare a Con-
stitutional amendment to submit to
them because he does not trust them.
Is. "One thing can be said with
certainty" says the Democratic NetD
York Times. 'the President has no
mandate for this plan from those who
would have withheld their support
from him in the last election had
they known during the campaign
that he would subsequently pursue
this course"

WHAT WAR PICTURES PAINT


War is bad enough wherever it oc-
ours but when the fighting takes place
within nation the suffering seems ac-
centuated by the apparent uselessness of
the strife.
DR.. Norman Bethune, of Canada,
doctor saw Malaga, Spain, evacuated
by 100000 people just before the rebel
army of Gen. Franco captured the city.
His word picture of the scene sketches
the terrible inhumanity of battle. Hear
him:
Imagine 10000 men, women and
children setting out for safety to town
more than one hundred miles away 80.
no food in the villages, no trains, no
busses =. they staggered and stumbled,
feet cut and bruised, while Insurgents

ficulty.

ten bombs in tenter of town . picked
up three dead children from the pave
ment where they had been standing in
line waiting for cup of preserved milk
and handful of dry bread, the only food
some of them had for days :. the streets
were a SHAMELESS of dead and dying
the mourns of wounded children, the
shrieks of agonized mothers, rose in a
massed cry higher and higher to pitch
of intolerable intensity
You can thank the Canadian doctor
for realistic picture of population UNI
der stress, fleeing from war, and facing
death. You can imagine for yourself
what another great war means to women
and children behind the front, as well as
what will happen to the nobility of man
when his war machine reeks with the
blood of women and children
No wonder men and women of the
world hate war and wish to do anything
to prevent it, even to the extent of abolish
ing armies and navies and trusting to
some other means of securing peace. Sad
as the picture is yet it can be matched by
one more ruthless, where a modern ma
ton, armed to the teeth, invaded i'm
potent African tribesmen in their homes
and gave them a taste of the destruction
that civilization uses on those who resist

1. President Roosevelt ran for cleo
ton on platform which. in SO far as
it dealt with nationa. problems that
presumably could not be handled
adequately by the forty-eight states,
declared that .. we have sought
and will continue to seek TO meet
. these problems through legislation
within the Constitution. If these prob
lens cannot be solved effectively by
legislation within the Constitution.
we shall seek such clarifying amend
ments as will assure to the legisla-
lures of the several states and the
Congress of the United States. each
within its proper jurisdiction. the
power TO enact those laws which the
state and Federal legislatures. with
in their respective spheres. shall find
necessary. in order adequately TO
regulate commerce. protect public
health and safety. and safeguard eco
nomic security"
2. The Presidents proposal TO
change the structure of the Supreme
Court was not submitted by him to
the public during the campaign.
There is. therefore, no mandate"
from the voters on such PROPOSE
ton.
3. The President sprung his pro-
posal upon the public after he was
elected and without consultation with
leaders in Congress.
4. He stated that the chief purposes
of his plan were to expedite legal
processes and to reduce the burden
on the United States Supreme Court
and other Federal courts. But, au-
thorities insist that fifteen justices are
more cumbersome than nine, and it
has been shown that the. United
States Supreme Court keeps up with
its calendar. The Solicitor General
has officially stated that this Court
has been up to date with its cases for
years. Joseph Alsop. Jr., writes from
Washington that the Supreme Court
faces a recess for lack of cases on
docket" In discussing the crowded
dockets of the Federal courts. the
President did not point out to the
country the number of vacancies in
the Federal courts which he has
failed to fill.
5. The President, so it is asserted,
is, in effect, asking the Democrats
address questions to the al
