and know of no reason why our
government should not. persistently
and relentleSsly say as much. -
1t is a poor rule which does not
restrain all the United Nations alike
and in equal measure; or which, by
the same token, does not permit as
great a-eaHdef in Washington as is
enjoyed by Moscow.
on AUG. IA, 1871, we promul-
- gated the so-called Atlantic
Charter" There is plain language in
its first three points which the sig
natories unreservedly subscribed:
'l-Their countries seek no
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, territorial or other
wise.
"2-They desire to see no terri
tOrial changes that do not accord
with the freely expressed wishes of
the peoples concerned.
''3-They respect the rights of all
peoples to choose the form of gov
eminent under which they will live:
and they wish to see sovereign rights
and self-gOvernment restored to
those who have been forcibly de-
priyed of them"
T GO on with the record. Now
L comes 'lend-lease.' Why. did we
extend billions Of dollars of critical
and indispensable "lend-lease' aid to
Russia? To help US win OUR war.
For that purpose, ! do not hesi-
tate to say that it has been worth all
it cost. But Our war" is something
more than the military defeat Of
Hitler and Hirohito. That would be
only TEMPORARY VICTORY.
No one need grope in doubt upon
this score. 1t is written in our lend
lease agreements.
For eXample-and it is. very
pertinent eXampie-it is written in
our standard master "lend-lease"
agreement with Russia 1t was
signed on June II, 1912. He who
rims may read.
WE ARE extending "MUTUAL

faith he has in the Constitution.
MIR. ROOSEVELT has never con-
wi sidered himself bound by the
Constitution.
He has spoken of it as an out
NODDED document belonging to the
horse and buggy" age.
He has often assumed and eXer
cised powers in CONFLICT with it,
and even in VIOLATION of it
according to subsequent findings of
the Supreme Court Of the United
States
But it is the contrasting view of
Gov. Dewey that it is the Constitu-
ton which GUARANTEES our
American principles, and that 1t is
only through faithful adherence to
the Constitution that our practicable
policies of liberty and equality can
be actually productive of freedom
and equal rights.
GOV. DEWEY has taken his strong
VI stand against racial and religious
discrimination in politics because he
knows it is one of the basic principles
of our freedom, and he knows that If
we depart in one particular from our
basic principles of freedom we will
soon find that we have jeopardlzed
our EVERY RIGHT AND EVERY
LIBERTY -
His election as president would
provide national assurance against
racial distinction religious discrimin
alton and class antagonism.
an assurance should be the
guiding star of our democracy, the
invariable rule and practice of our
representatives in office, and of our
whole people-fer only so can we
have a happy and peaceful people,
secure in their liberties.

er the firm had refused fatty to
give the six union locals involved

Durham's strike proposition, &C

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21- R -
President Roosevelt was said by
his supporters today to have picked
George Washington's birthday to
do to the new $2,315, 900, 900 tax bill
what the first President did to the
cherry tree.
The prompt Republican reaction
was a tentative decision of the
minority's steering committee to
resist the action-to unite for over
riding the Presidential veto prom
Used for Tuesday. However, Minori-
ty Leader Martin, of Massachu-
sets, said the exact line of action
would have to await Mr.. Roose-
velt's detailed objections.

something besides political argu-
ments,'' said Martin.
Rep. Knutson of Minnesota, rank
ing Republican on the Ways and
Means Committee, saw no need of
waiting. .......-. 49,.
I'VE will override" he said.
There is only one issue. That is
whether the President shall usurp
the Congressional power to levy
taxes"
Some Capitol Hill sources indicat-
ed that Chairman Doughton Cd
N. c. of the Ways and Means
Committee might take an active
part in the campaign to override.
It was Speaker Rayburn Cd
Tex.) who said the President would
let the axe fall. in a special mes
sage to Congress tomorrow. Ray
burn predicted Mr.. Roosevelt will
be sustained.
This probably would mean there
would be no new revenue legisla-
ton in 1914.
The veto will be the second in
week. The Presidents rejection of
the anti-food subsidy bill was sus-
tanned in the House with Is votes
to spare. go -
Mr.. Roosevelt in a blunt, veto
said that legislation would
break the line against wartime in
flation. The tense situation between
the White House and Capitol Hill
brought charges from Republicans
and anti-administration democrats
that the President is running for
a fourth term on an "anti-Congress
platform.
! The tax bill embodies only about
one fifth of the $40, 500, 000,0 600 in
new revenue requested by the adj
ministration. Mr.. Roosevelt in his
State of the Union message last
month said the measure docs not
begin to meet the test of realism
by a government at war.
