Editor The Times: Prime Min
ister Churchill in his warning TO
Japan boosted of the Atlantic
charter drawn up by him and
President Roosevelt as a British
United States pledge to destroy
Nazi tyranny. Who wonder
gave our president the right to
draw up a charter with any ma
ton? II congress gave him this
power. then congress stands con-
victed and should be impeached.
President Roosevelt in pledging
the u. S. to destroy Nazi tyranny
declared war and our constitu-
ton only gives congress that
power.
In 1912 the British invaded
the U. S. Today, as in the last
world war, the British have
again invaded Washington, not
with red coats but with some
1000 agents and employees so
said Sen. Wheeler. This is
strange situation. Since 1887,
congress submitted TO letting
the president pack the supreme
court and now neither congress
nor the supreme court has any
regard for the constitution. The
people have no government in
Washington any more. l do not
see any necessity in paying SUI
preme court judges $40, 900 an
nually TO guard something and
then fan TO do it.
A man named Milligan op-
posed the civil war. He was
arrested, tried, convicted and
sentenced TO death for his opin-
ions, but he fought his way
through TO the supreme court.
