PROPOSAL Gets
SHELvED; VOTE
is 20S TO 1873
Pointed Letter from Presi-
dent Read by Speak
er Bankhead
ROOSEVELT SAYS PLAN
IS AGAINST DEMOCRACY
Would Have Require d
Three-fourths of States
to Declare War

WASHINGTON, Jan. TO-
The House shelved today, by
vote of 209 to 1873, the pro-
posed war referendum amend
ment to the constitution, vot-
ing against any floor cOnsid-
Grafton of the proposal.
The proposal was defeated
shortly after the House heard
Speaker Bankhead read a let
ter from President Roosevelt
cGndemning the amendment
offered by Representative
Ludlow.
The resolution would have
authorized a constitutional
amendment by which three
fourths of the states would
have to approve, at a national
election, any declaration of
war by the President of the
United States.
President Roosevelt in his
letter, read by Speaker Bank
head, said:
II consider the amendment
would be impractical and in
compatible with our represen-
tative form of government.
'sSuch an amendment as
that proposed, would cripple
any President in his conduct
cf cur foreign relations and
encourage other nations to
believe they could violate Am
crican rights with impunity."

in evidence in the cabin which led
officers to believe that perhaps the
man might have starved to death.

MANY acts, where nothing is ia

acts are contrary to physical,

evil effect for the same reasons

THE major facts concerning
the economic conditions and pros
poets Of the south are clear" the
article concluded. The south is
poor. 1t is poor principally be-
cause both its agriculture and-its
industry are tributary rather than
primary. Yet both its industry
and its agriculture have been de-
veloped far enough to show that
there is no good reason why the
south cannot be built up until it
forms not a tributary region but
an integral part of the country

ing POWER comparable to the

Their development of the south, al
though it will inevitably cause
painful readjustmeAts in certain
northern industries, may provide
the evidence necessary to dlsprove
the theories OF. those. who hold that
industrial expansion has about
reached its limit.
;"Certainly the gap that gould
be filled by the south is big
enough to keep industry busy for
years; to come. For if the income
of the south, which stood at $240
per capita in 1885, could be
brought leyel with that of the rest
of the country, which stood at
$3.50 in the same year, the addi-
ton to the. total national income
would be about $1,000, 100000. :
land in the process of lifting
the south a far greater increase
in national income would certain
~ be generated. for no such in
crease could take place in the
south without. q corresponding
stimulus to northern industry. An
opportunity as great as this makes
talk of saturatlon seem woefufly
misplaced" - ,, 49,
Referring to native southern la
Dor, the article said, "The men
who have operated plants in the
south are almost unanimous on
the ability of the southern work
er TO learn new trade fast and
surely"
The magazine listed four
great natural resources" Of the
south:
