On the Record

The rejection by most of the States
of a Federal ballot for soldiers is
symptom of the inadequacy of our
political system to modern necessities.

From a Friend Overseas

To the Editor of The Star:
would like to offer these few words in
praise of your paper.
Before I joined the Corps, during the
peaceful days. l used to think of The
Star as only a small addition to the
comforts of home. I sort of took it for
granted. 1 suppose there were thou
sands like me then, reading the 'front.'
page news first, comics next and then
the sports pages, with caricatures by
Bergman, and on Sundays the funnies
came first
Yesterday I read your Sunday Star
the first time in more than a year. 1t
wasn't the latest copy, but it was won-
derful. Just knowing that it came from
my own home town. my own home!
read every page, even those 1 hadn't
read in II years of home service.
l know you must receive many letters
like mine, but I wanted to tell you how
much your paper meant to me-
With these words, I'll close, wishing
you continued success in the future, as
you have had in the past: It's a damn
good paper

Wants Constitution Preserved.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Presidents action on the soldier
vote bill (Which, If not vetoed. soon will
become law under the Today nonaction
rule) will do more than determine the
question OF whether more soldiers can
vote under this bill than under the
act OF 1912 1t will help preserve the
Constitution.
Ihe Dill now awaiting presidential
action provides, among other stipula-
lions, that the Governor of each State
snail certify (by July 15) that the laws
OF MS State authorize the use of the
federal ballot. The President has asked
the Governor OF each State to advise
MN whether they do or can be made to
conform to the provisions of the
new law
Ine Constitution of the United States
OF America (Which has outlasted all
other democratic forms of government
ana which the great Gladstone has de-
scrloed as the most remarkable work
OF modern times produced by the
human mind In its application to po-
Itlcal affairs) is founded upon three
distinct, coordinate branches of gov
ernment: Congress to enact the laws:
an Executive (the President) to enforce
them; a Supreme Court to interpret
them
The great danger, as experience has
shown, is the encroachment Willingly
or unWittingly by one department upon
another.
Certainly, it was not the intent of
the trainers of this great instrument
(the Federal Constitution that it
ShOuI6 he left IN tbo Co,,orror, &c xo
States to determine whether the laws
OF their States are in harmony or con-
f1ict with Federal law or the Constitu-
ton.
While everything else is being shot
to pieces and the outlook for the gen.
erations to succeed us is gloomy, indeed,
may we not at least leave to our chill
dren intact foundation on which to
rebuild the framework of the greatest
Government on earth-the United States
OF America? WILBUR H CLOSE.

N APP CAMP AICN |
FOR POLITICAL
ACfi0N-DRIYE.

Tne Clio Political Action Conven-
ton for Wayne County. held April
% and % showed "a strong trend
toward independent political action.
More than 500 delegates represent
ing more than 100000 members par
ticipated. The delegates clearly
demonstrated they wanted indepen-
dent action. The faction which had
campaigned for and during the con-
vention for ticket with the slogan,
'No Third Party in 1914" was over
Whelmingly defeated for every post
on the important executive board Of
the CIO Political Action Commit
tee. Several officers and members
OF NICE were elected TO that body.
President r. j. Thomas of the UAW-
Go spoke at length. indicating dis
satisfaction with the performance Of
both old parties. He branded the
Republican party as reactionary and
disloyal and described the Demo-
cratic rarty as chaotic He made
friendly references 10 the MCF.
Thomas served warning Oh the
Democratic party they must adopt
a more progressive program II they
wish labor support. He warned the
Democrats they would gain little II
they received labor support merely
because labor had no other place
10 60" MCF is taking care of that
We shall give all voters a place TO
GO il they want - vote for a rssl
program.
Resolutions called for scrapping
the Little Steel Formula and a
guaranteed annual wage.
Probably the best indication OF
the sentiment Of the convention was
the vote on an amendment 10 mo-
ton made by MCF's publicity di-
rector. Tucker p Smith When the
favorite demand Of the ClO.- for an
annual wage was introduced. Smith
amended the resolution 10 provide
that the ClO endorse only those
candidates ard parties that pledge
sup ort for the annual wage In,
spite Of the fact that the brass hats
and leaders az both csucuscs IN the
convention vigorously opposed the
amendment from the platform and
tiled 10 proven; delegates from dis
cussing il tonly Smith succeeding IN
getting the floor 10 speak for his
amendment the motion lost only
by a small margin.
Delegates who voted AGAINST the
amendment said they did so be-
cause they deemed Il Impractical
to expect candidates OF either Of the
old parties 10 commit themselves 10
such a basic proposi,ion-evcn the
progressive Democrats Curlously.
those who voted for the amendment
did so for the very same reason.
They favored placing candidates "on
the spot"
Which again proves that Il Is high
time that the Clio be aroused from
the timid and defestist attitude
which admits defeat Of its program
even before they endorse a candi-
date. The MCF offers not only
labor but ali the little fellows"
their only political hope. Don't
waste votes on parties that won't
even promise what we want.
