CAPITOL. Olympia - Gov. Ar
thur p. Lsnglies Friday filed a
lo-point war program of laws with
the house Of representatives. de-
signed to bring Washington into
fun cooperation with the war
effort.
The bills were turned over to
the house rules committee and
were introduced at once. They are
model bills drafted with the CO.
operation of the National Council
of State Governments, nom
political organization, and with
the approval Of the army.
COMPLETE POWER
II the 10 measures are approved
they will give Langlie more COM
plete power over the lives and oe-
equations of Washington residents
than any governor ever has WELD
ed. They provide checks and bal
ances to see that the power is
properly used. All will expire
when the war is over.
For the past two years the state
has had to adopt regulations of
questionable legality. overlook yio-
lstions and adopt makeshift rules
to meet unforeseen problems the
war brought on. Langlie explained.
MANY SUBTERFUGES
Some Of these included disarm-
ing japanese and other aliens, seiz-
ing explosives, setting up protee-
tive areas, banning fires in GER
tain areas and curbing night clam
diggers. Because Of the lack of
existing law. the governor said he
had 10 resort to many subterfuges
to meet the pressing war needs.
His new program. designed TO
put law enough into the statute
books to meet such future prob
lens. would:
Permit the governor to sns-
pend or modify existing laws.

than a mere system of government. Whether democracy is a good bus iness for us it not the important thing, but whether we as citizens of our respective countries are fit for democracy.
 "I would assert that the object of Q government that claims the name and title of a moral government must be the development of the personnel of its citizenry. Democ- racy is subject to very grave danger. The greatest threat is distortion of political power as manifest in those who give promises in exchange for support through votes. but who cannot always be relied upon and therefore offer counterfeit coin in payment.
 "What is the answer to that greatest danger2 Character on the side Of the leader and training and citizenship on the side of all which will enable the general body of state to be ready so that the distinction between the genuine and the coun. terfeit can be made"

Lord Halifax Selects
 Democracy As Theme
British Ambassador Stresses Character in Address to
 Law Students of Catholic University

Washington. D. C., April 22 - (SpeciaD - Discussing Democracy as Related to the Present and Fu- ture World Order" Lord Halifax. the. British Ambassador to the Uni- ted States, in addressing the April social meeting of the School of Law of the Catholic University of Amer lea. attributed the idea O democ- racy to the Greeks and the destruc- tion of free government to the Nazis.
 Following the ambassadors talk, a reception was held with the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Patrick J. Mccormick. acting rector of the University, and the faculty of the Law School join. ing the distinguished guest in the receiving line.
 Working Knowledge
 Declaring that the Nad terror has extinguished the democratic form of government in many coun- tries where before it seemed quite secure. Lord Halifax said: 'If dem- ocracy is to work. there must be in all constituents a great sense of shared responsibility. The whole thing rests on balanced coim- promise. You cannot push either the claims of the state So far as t0 repress the freedom of the individu- al nor can you allow individual freedom to lead you into license. However, the ultimate purpose Oi the whole affair Is the development of order personality and for that one Of the principal instruments which democracy must always usf its education-education not in the sense Of endeavOring ais. ays to fll those who are dealing with it tc pass examinations or to Dc living encyclopedia, but first and safesl and last. education which vii thoroughly equip men and w0mer with some working knowledge ol their relationship to the world ol mystery in which they live, ana education which will develop thai thing which may be called charac. ter.
