HOUSE VOTE DEMANDS
PART IN TREATY MAKING

Action of the House of Representa-
tives, by an overwhelming vote, sees the
start of move for an entire change in
the machinery handling treaties between
the United States and other nations.
By vote of 293 to 88 the lower house
brought to elimination agitation started
some time ago requiring ratification by
both houses of congress of all pacts.
But it remains for the senate to concur
before a constitutional amendment can
be submitted to the states for approval.
And close observers maintain that the
senate is not minded to share that pre-
rogative entrusted to it by the basic law
of the land.
Two arguments marked the course of
the resolution in the house. One pointed
to the claim that members of the lower
house are ''closer TO the people" and by
that token know more clearly the wishes
and the reactions of the public, and the
other that the house acually has the last
say on treaties under the present pro-
cedure in that it must originate the funds
necessary to carry out treaties
Throughout the debate stress was laid
on treaty ratification by less than a two
thirds majority of the entire senate. And
this point was the basis for some of the
OppOSlIlOI 10 Tie mouse f6SOluJlOIl. OIlQ6r
the house move all treaties would be rati-
fled by "a majority of the total member
ship of both houses" And this, of course
means "of those present" Opponents
held that this would permit approval of
treaties by majority of a quorum.
Among the dissenters to the house reso-
luton was Representative John Phillips
of the 22nd district He believes that
instead of majority there should be
60 per cent vote before ratification is
possible. This, he believes would elimi-
nate the pull of politics and emotion"
in voting.
Supporting this view, Phillips pointed
to the recent ratification of the Colorado
river water treaty with Mexico. While
in that instance there was siZeable ma
iority over the necessary two-thirds, still
only sc out of sc voted. Here, he con-
tended, emotion rather than understand
ing prompted the vote, recalling that the
treaty was in debate Immediately prior
to the diplomatic parley in Mexico City
and close to the assembling of the peace
parley in San Francisco. With both
houses voting and with debate in both
houses, it is his belief that treaties would
receive more attention and strictly on
their merits.
The whole question becomes of extreme
interest in the face of treaties now coming
up affecting this country and tie world
together.

HARD WORK LIES AHEAD
FOR UNCIO DELEGATES

AT first blush it would appear that
the peace meeting at San Francisco has
lost it's momentum. Three of the big
powers leaders have left and gone home
Russia, Britain and France are not
represented by the leaders who were
there for the opening. Of the big powers,
only the United States chief is left
Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius,
Jr He is ably assisted by Senator Van
denberg and others.
But it must not be taken that the struc-
ture has started to fall to pieces. Far
from it. The pattern has been mapped
out and capable minds are left to round
up the job. There are hard days and
nights ahead for those left with the final
task.
No one believes that the objective will
not be accomplished.

two pints Of vital digestive juice to
help digest your food. If Nature fails,
your food may remain undigested-
leaving you headachy and irritable.
Therefore, you must increase the flow
of this digestive juice. Carriers Little

LA GUARDIA TO RETIRE
(San Diego Union)

New York's Little Flower Mayor
Fiorello La Guardia, says he is through
with politics and will not run for fourth
term. He is reported as slated for job
as "czar' of national air transportation
at salary approximately the same as
that of the president of the United
States.
The colorful and popular head of the
nations biggest city declares that under
our form of government chief eXecu-
tives- should not be elected time after
tima," as there is a tendency for admin
istrations to become stale and satisfied.
While not conceding that his recent tilt
with the mobilization administration over
the midnight curfew was factor in his
decision to retire, the mayor quotes the
late Al Smith to the effect that 81 can
run on laundry ticket and beat those
political buns" s"-enemies he has three
times defeated. He declares that while
he can beat any collection of political
parties, he cant beat "a combination Of
political parties, the state legislature and
the state courts"
Mayor La Guardia's following has not
been limited by party linas he has sue
ceeded in pleasing widely divergent ele-
ments and has been particularly strong
with the independent voters. He has
given New York probably as good ad-
ministration as it ever enjoyed, and
served his three terms without a sugges-
tion of scandal. His successor will have
a good-sized pair of political shoes to fill.

Now Mrs. Lane saves all fat

Truman's Tax Views
Backed by Doughfon,
Opposed by George
By the Associated Press.

L
President Truman's fiat opposition
to tax reductions until Japan is de-
feated, today was greeted by a di-
vided opinion between top congress
slonal tax managers
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee prompt
ly supported the President. Senator
George, Democrat. of Georgia in
sisted on downward adjustment
based on all the factors. and not on
consideration of the end of the war
alone"
Mr.. Truman told his news confer
ence yesterday he wanted it dis
ttnctly understood there can be no
reduction in taxes until the war is
over. There are IS 900 900 individual
bondholders who must be protected, ;,
he said, adding that the only way to-
protect them is by taxation
Mr., Doughton said Il agree with
the President" and asserted that.
with the huge debt and high cost of
the war in the Pacific, the people
should respond patriotically to the
situation. Mr.. Doughton conferred
with the President yesterday after
noon.
Senator George said there should
be reduction as soon as possible,
adding that otherwise there is a
danger of an economic nosedive
when the war with Japan ends" He
conceded that there can be no dras-
tic cuts, and that taxes probably will
be high for long time.
Mr.. Truman apparently did not
oppose a pending program to adjust
business tax laws to make $5700,-
100000 quickly available to business
during reconversion.
This program does not call for any
reduction in tax rates. 1t would i'm
prove the cash position of business
chiefly through accelerating postwar
refunds and cashing of excess profits
tax bonds. 1t also would exempt |
many small corporations from the
excess profits tax, by raising the ex-
emption from $4,000 to 10000.
