the constitution nor the bill Of
rights attempting to punish one
man. There are others who say
that the powers of congress
over aliens is very great and
that is sufficient excuse for
special act Of congress covering
his case. That is just begging
the question. Would they like
Bridges any better If he was
born in this country? What
would they dc if he was?
We all know that a slow and
uncertain judicial procedure has
been the excuse for every lynch
ing, and the same excuse goes
for a bill of attainder. They
have much in common, for after
all a bill Of attainder is nothing
but a legislative lynching bee.
1t will be best If we forget our
prejudices and defend those
members Of congress who. in
spite of adverse public opinion
had the courage to defend
plain provision of the constitu-
ton.

Editor. Tine Times: The foun-
ders of this republic very proper

punished for any act of his I'M

evidence in his defense. Hence

For the first time so far as l
know an attempt is being made
to push such a bill through con-
gress. II those who applaud this
movement would only think for
a moment they would curb their
enthusiasm. Such q bill If passed
and approved by the courts
would be followed by others.

enemy. next time 1t will surely
be your friend, or perhaps your
self.
Some people claim that the

THURSDAY, JULY 4

This is not an important day
in planetary direction. The stars
encourage looking backward and
they aid in the inspiration OF
public service. Women are under
a fortunate direction of the
stars. The morning Is q time
for serious thought, for the mind
should be clear and the judgment
good.
Heart and Home: Women are
under good direction today which
Ia most favorable for hospitali-
ties of an Informal nature. In all
probability the young will be ex-
ceedingly susceptible TO romance.
Recent college graduates will be
lucky in receiving offers that
assure employment for we'll
trained men and women. Modern
ideas of a radical nature will
now be discarded as patriotic
teachings gain force. American
homes will be appreciated with
new understanding OF their
beauty and luxury.
Business Affairs: While mer-
chants and manufacturers are to
reap handsome profits through
the summer, men in all lines OF
business or professional activity
should be cautious in financial
matters. Debt should be avoided
with special determination. since
international banking problems
will affect the United States.
Agriculturists should profit
handsomely, although exports
may be curtailed.
National Issues: Appeals TO
class consciousness will be made
with unusual violence as the ma
tional political campaign ad-
vances. Under the label OF
peace" subversive agents will
gain support. Secret machina-
tions against the Government
will increase. II is well 10 re-
member that the Orient still con-
tains potential dangers for the
United States. even though at
tention focuses chiefly on
Europe.
International Affairs: Bulgar-
Ia comes under threatening
rule of the stars. Internal
troubles as well as outside dam
gers are presaged. Severe tests
for King Boris are foretold.
Turkey continues under con-
figuration that threatens the
death or retirement Of leading
figure. Alignment with powers
that represent progress will
cause severe strain TO the coun-
try which will demonstrate that
it's military strength is remark
able in certain ways.
Persons whose birthdste II Is
have the sugury Of year of
first-rate prospects. Women
should be on guard against per-
sons OF designing nature.

Stories in
Stamps
Free Donzie's Decline
Is Related in Stamps

THE Notification OF Danzig, once
free city and now a part OF
greater Germany, is pictured in
stamps. One OF the first evidences
OF Nazi penetration and Nazi am
billions was given in the 1897
stamp above, bearing the swas-
tika.
Later were TO come the four
stamps of the 1899 issue celebrat-
ing the reunion of Danzig and
Prussia and finally the "Danzig Ist
Deutsch" issue of Germany. Thus
the stamp issues of Danzig ended,
along with Austria, Czechoslo-
vakia, and Poland. The Saar
stamps terminated with the 1895
plebiscite returning the region TO
Germany.
Danzig was created a free city
by the Versailles treaty, to pro-
vide port for Poland, although
the Polish government had no
sovereign rights over the port.

BACKS BONE BILL TO KEEP
PROFIT OUT OF WAR

Editor, The Times: In the
earnest hope that great numbers
of citizens will Immediately for
ward their demand for peace to
the president and the congress.
I submit the following letter just
received from Sen. Bone in recog-
milton of our endorsement OF his
bill designed TO take the profits
out of war.
MRS. MAUDE y. RICHARD.
Women's Council for Peace.
Thank you for your letter of
the 9th. / made an effort two
days ago on the floor Of the SEN
ate to secure the adoption Of my
war tax bill. think my efforts
were sufficiently vigorous to
force action for the less drastic
Connslly draft which was finally
substituted for my bill, and
passed by large majority. That
bill contains a very heavy levy,
but is far from achieving the
levies indicated in my own bill,
s 1883. The senate and house
conferees may even kick out the
Connally substitute.
A lot OF folks want 70 fight,
but they also want TO be certain
that profits are not interfered
with. The situation here is very
grave. and day by day. we sp-
pear TO be getting closer TO an
actual declaration of war. II war
comes. our form Of government
will be set aside under the war
mobilization plans. and q totali-
tartan government substituted.
Everyone in public life here rea-
lines that. Some OF the sblest
men in Washington feel that we
would never be able 10 restore
popular government.
u have sincerely tried TO do
what I promised the people of
the state I would do when they
gave me the high honor Of q post
in the senate. The least I could
do was 10 discharge the prom
Uses I had made. and the most
important one OF these was that
I would do all possible TO keep
my country out Of the hell o.
war. Unless the American peo-
pie awaken to the frightful
danger confronting them. We
may be Immediately thrust into
war. Il. r. Bone

down the proposition. He said:
IF We quit nov and spend
the night in talking and trading
in a 'smoke-filled room we can
never convince 10000, 600 Re-
publicans that the nomination
was not the result of dirty
deal. And il willkie should be
the nominee, they will say that
we made deal with the power
trust SO we're going ahead
Nominee Willkie has told
friends and will soon say ~
publicly-that he favors enact
ment of the revised Hatch Act
limiting expenditures of a Presi-
dental campaign to $4,000, 900.
Il is his answer to pre-conven-
ton reports that the fat boys"
would raise campaign fund Of
at least $4,000. 900 for him II
he were nominated.
The Republican nominee =
both before and since his selec-
tion-has been extremely cagey
about financial contributions.
Business men visited him at his
Philadelphia hotel. opened their
stuffed wallets and tried 10
force their money on him. In
every instence he declined to ac-
cept it. He sternly ordered
Philadelphia group not to buy
advertising space on his behalf
during the convention. The Ma
tional Committee has received
scores of checks to be cashed
conditional on his nomination.
He has ordered that they be re-
turned.
He knows that the vulnerable
chink in his armor is his assoeia-
ton with Wall Street-with big
money. Therefore he does not
intend to stick out his chin by
letting it appear that he-or the
COPS trying to buy his way
into the White House.
Wilkes upset of precedent in
retaining John Hamilton as Ma
tional Chairman and Franklin
Waltman, Jr., as No. 1 publicity
man wasn't impulsive.
Willkie had told the two men
several weeks ago-at the time
he spoke before the National
Press club--that he thought
they had done a swell job, and
that he intended to keep them
on if he were nominated, Natur-
ally. that pleased both men, and
so 1t is no wonder that they
creased the way for the prom
iser's nomination. Nominally
they were neutral. but actually
they were in the Willkie camp
from the start. They figured
that he was the one man who
had chance of winning in No
vember.

We Need Touch, Pliable Minds

The United States at this faces several situa-
tons in which precedent guide Other such situations
certain to develop.
The past except in the most general way, is guide.
Countries which have chung past precedents have gone
under
We need every ounce of mental resiency we can
to guide through shoals that loom up direct
ly ahead
For instance: The United States has officially declared
that will tolerate transfer of New World soil from
Old World country to another. That not II
goes back 100 years But echnques may be desirable
in enforcing it.
The United States does not covet for its sake any

What to do?
When colony's home government is destroyed
function that becomes automatically an
independent country The French possessions the New
World small and defenseess. They could maintain
such independent status by their strength.
But to whose interest it that they become ndepend
ent rather than fall into the hands of European conquer
ors? To that of all the 81 American republics So why
should all of those American countries join guaran-
teeng this new-found independence? 1t true that the
major share in defending such countries would probably
fall to the United States. But that why all
should not share to the extent that they Dr. Oswald
Aranha of Brazil has already suggested such final
answer should emergency develop.
Nothing quite like this has been done. Yet is it
better than annexation, which would stir again in
South American breasts dsrust of THE Colossus of the
North?
The situation of France itself is uncertain at this mo-

and decide in advance that they will resouey face their
