Similar disappearances in recent

treason charges against numerous Rus

what accusation might be made against
the secretary.
Umschlicht, Pole by birth, was a
member of the powerful Central Com

stood close to the top of governmental
structure as secretary of the Commit

BY JAY FRANKLIN.

= ONE days ago, in an open letter,
this column requested Mr..
, Walter Lippmann to come over
- to the side Of his former friends
and associates and help in the battle
for economic democracy.
Today Mr. Lippmann has made an
answer which convinces me, at any
New Republic and the New York
World has completely gone over to
| the side of the conservatives. In his
discussion of The Great Filibuster'
against the proposed judiciary reform
bill, Mr.. Lippmann states emphati-
cally that it is the moral duty of the
opposition Senators to prevent vote
being taken on this measure by talking
and talking and talking interminably.
There is no need to remark at this
point that the filibuster is the mega
ton of democracy. 1t is the moral
equivalent of force. of arbitrary re-
action in the parliamentary process.
1t is denial of the right Of the elected
| representatives of the American people
to vote on measures within their con-
stitutional competence. 1t recalls the
old liberum veto which destroyed the
old Poland and is the little brother Of
the vote-stealing and floater-vote
tactics by which municipal machines
sometimes try to win closely contested
elections. 1t is difficult to reconcile
open Indictment to a Senate filibuster
with any respect for the principles Of
democratic self government.
Measure Declared Bad One.
Mr.. Lippmann justifies his appeal
to force by arguing that the judiciary
reform bill is bad measure that it
constitutes no part of President Roose-
velt's mandate" in the 1885 election.
that it menaces the system of checks
and-balances of the Constitution, and
| that he doesn't like it.
This seems to me to be a clear case
Of arguing that the end justifies the
means-a doctrine which may be true
of the broad processes Of human evo-
luton, BY such logic, Hitler has
always justified his pogroms and
blood purges; a Stain the execution
Of Trotzkyites and "Wreckers," a
Mussolini his conquest Of Ethiopia
and Intervention in Spain. 1t is the
chief defense of doctrlnaireS and ty-
rants. but has been outlaWed in DEM
ocratic society as being inferior to
what is known as law and order.
For observe where this perilouS
teaching would lead Mr.. Lippmann

that the President believes that the
survival Of this Nation depends on
