he went after the monasteries.
(The Church by then had consid
erably too much power, with the
result that the common man was
coming to look upon it much as
ho now looks upon Big Business,
but Henry's personal grievance
seems to have been that it
frowned upon his advanced Holly
wood ideas of marriage.)
THE right to speak at Marble
Arch corner is by royal grant,
and the only limitations are that
you must not defame the royal
family, advocate treason, incite
to violence or take up a collec
tion. The background of Tower Hill
forum is somewhat different. The
merchants of the City of London
(Hyde Park is in the City of
Westminister) were always in a
row with the king. As the finale
to one of the bitterer of these
rows, they forbade him to enter
the City of London save upon the
express invitation of the mayor
and the council. (To this day,
tradition being what It is here,
the king, whose residence! is In
Westminister, enters the City of
London only by invitation, these
Invitations, of course, bring
social affairs of the first magni
tude.) Having thus put the king in
his place, the good burghers
turned around and forbade those
who felt the call to get up on a
soap box to speak ill of the king
or the royal family on Tower
Hill leaving it distinctly under
stood that if the king were to be
told off it must be done with the
proper official trimmings by the
Lord Mayur and the Council.
All of this, of course, was
many, many centuries ago, but
It is interestingly typical of the
attitude of the British toward
their king. They love him when
he's good, but they want It un
derstood , that he can be told
what's what. When Charles II
cot unruly on this point, they
cut off his head.
Other than speaking evil of
the royal family or inciting to
treason or violence, Tower Hill
Is a free forum. Hyde Park,
however, the favorite.
THERE were long centuries
when if you had something in
your system that wouldn't let
you sleep you got up on a stool,
did whatever was necessary to
collect a crowd, and got It out
by word of mouth - there being
then no other way. With the
progress of the mechanical revo
lution, including the invention of
the rotary press, you now write
a letter to the papers to the
Times if what is irking you is in
Hie higher realms of business or
statecraft, and to the penny eve
ning press if you have a lesser
mind.
But in its day Hyde Park was
an immensely significant sym
bol of that grim determination
to SPEAK HIS MIND when
things aren't going right that
has made the Anglo-Saxon such
a power for democracy through
out the world. Its tradition is a
fine tradition.
TODAY the Hyde Park speak
ers are largely craikpots -but
they are crackpots of a most
peculiar type. Watching them
somehow they and the crowds
who listen arc fascinating, nd
you come back again and again
ynn come to the conclusion Hint
they are exhibitionists.
With a Tew exceptions, they
are battered specimens who. one

REPRESENTATIVE
By Charles V. Stanton
Congressman Harris Ellsworth has declared that it will
be a pleasure to serve in a session of, Congress in which
Congress will be responsible for the legislative function of
government. We can fully understand and share his
pleasure. . We believe the people of this country in general
will be pleased and relieved when and if such condition is
fully realized, , .
But we rather imagine stormy times lie ahead in achiev
ing the goal of true representative government. Too many
of our congressmen have gained their seats through sur
render of individuality. Too many went to Congress simply
because of a pledge to support the Rooseveltian regime.
Too many have been leaning heavily upon the executive arm
of government and it will be difficult for them to stand
erect upon their own two feet. Some of these "rubber
stamps," in attempting to escape from having the mantle
of responsibility placed upon their own weak shoulders,
doubtless will favor continuation of government by execu
tive decree. A clash between rugged individualists and
weak satellites in Congress is inevitable. One group will
insist that Congress recover its surrendered powers. The
other, having trained in obsequious service to executive
bureaucracy, doubtless will try to shirk responsibility by
favoring continuance of executive control.
We rather imagine, however, that those members who
secured election on a promise of servility will soon become
political orphans. Used as tools by a power-hungry admin
istration, they are now faced by a Chief Executive who has
evidenced a purpose of returning constitutional authority to
the three governmental departments. Apparently it is not
the President's policy to write the ticket for satellite con
gressmen. Politically trained in the U. S. Senate, Mr.
Truman evidences respect for the authority laid down for
Congress by the Constitution. He apparently intends that
(Congress shall resume its responsibilities.
Powers ordinarily vested in Congress were released to
the executive branch of government for the period of the
war emergency, This was done on the theory that greater
efficiency would result. But, instead, we have had the
utmost confusion and inefficiency.
Peculiarly, a large section of our population has failed
to place responsibility where it belonged. Bureaucratic
propagandists blandly charged Congress with accountability
for inefficiency of domestic administration, while blithely
ignoring policies laid down by Congress and acting in direct
contravention to congressiqnal authorization and, occas
ionally, iil absolute violation of rules laid down in legisla
tive acts.
An outstanding exnmplo is the War Labor board. The
WLB is exclusively a creation of the executive department.
It was not authorized by Congress and even contended it
was not aiWerable to Congress. The majority of all strikes
and labor difficulties occurring in tho country during the
war peric-d were directed at the War Labor board. The
WLB was responsible for the Montgomery Ward company
seizure. Continuous controversy has surrounded that
agency. Congress took the rap from public opinion for many
of the acts of tho WLB. The Labor press has been par
ticularly critical. Yet this board was not created by Con
gress, but was entirely and completely a branch of the
executive department. The same is true of numerous other
executive bureaus and agencies established under the cloak
of war emergency.
The forthcoming session of Congress should see repre
sentative government restored. The executive department
should be shorn of the emergency powers granted for the
duration. President Truman's acts to date indicate he will
cooperate in achievement of that purpose.
When members of Congress are forced to accept full
responsibility for their acts, we will have definite assurance
that the will of the people eventually will be obeyed. De
mocracy will be restored in a country which has been giving
it only lip service while practicing many of the evils of po
litical faiths with which we were at war.
favored forum) and laying it off
to an audience gives them some
thing that is lacking in their
starved lives delusions of gran
deur, probably.
Religion is a favorite subject,
but not evangelistic religion.
They are totally uninterested in
bringing people down to the
mourner's bench. They run,
rather to dogma. With all this
political furore, there has been
no leftish or radical or, for that
matter, any other kind of intel
ligent political speaking. Much
of the stuff is the purest drivel,
and after about five minutes of
It they call for questions which
is where the crowd comes in.
The questions asked are as
silly as the subjects the speakers
deal with. For example: "How do
they get sausages out of a pig
without breaking the skin?" The
answer, given with an expression
of condescending disdain; "Why,
with jet propulsion, of course!"
Whereupon the crowd howls with
glee at the discomfiture of the
questioner.
The speakers arc obviously pro
fessionals and in order to get a
crowd they have to develop such
tricks of repartee. But they are
forbidden to take up a collection
and the taboo holds rigidly. No
coins are tossed. There Is NO
money incentive. It is some Inner
urge that drives them to do It.
As already stated, they are
strictly TYPES.

In all probability it wouldn't go
here but for the TRADITION.
But it is one of the great free
shows of London. Thousands
flock here every night, strolling
from group to group and taking
it in.
It is probably significant that
the questioners fall into the
same general types as the speak
ers. It seems obvious that Hyde
Park gives to a certain type of
Londoner something that he
craves. Some momentary, thrill
ing sense of being somebody.

acres in the very heart of one
of the world's most congested
cities, with its strolling thou

games. And its couples. Here is

N. P. Ordered to Rehire
Ousted Service Man
SEATTLE, Aug. 18. (AP)
The Northern Pacific railway was
ordered yesterday by Judge Leavy
to rehire a discnargeu service
man who had been on inactive
status and working at the Puget
Sound navy yard since 1943.
The railway said it had no ob
jection to rehiring the veteran,
Raymond Tipper, but refused to
do so at the rcouest of union of
ficials. Samuel Bassett, represent
ing the International Association
of Machinists, said his union's
members felt their seniority
rights would be prejudiced if Tip
per were taken back.
The question was whether the
90-day period allowed for service
men to apply for former jobs
begins when they arc transferred
to the enlisted reserve or on the
date of discharge.

Type "0" Blood
Donated by Nine
From Rosebura
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 19
Nine O-type donors from Rose
burg donated blood Saturday at
the Red Cross center, while 51
would-be donors had to stay home
because they were not the O
type, required for the exclusive
taking of whole blood. Plasma
operations were closed down at
the end of the war.
For weeks 60 donors had been
planning to make . the 200-mile
trip by bus from Roseburg, regu
larly made each month by don
ors, according to Mrs. Violet
Hannan, executive secretary of
the Red Cross chapter in Doug
las county.
In the group, also accompanied
by Franklyn Voyt, Red Cross
field director on furlough from
services to the armed forces in
Europe, were Mrs. Veralee Cun
ningham, Mrs. Edna Scofield,
Mrs. G. W. Memson, Mrs. Dallia
Phipps, Mrs. Nora Stephens,
Mrs. Gertrude Kelly, Mrs. Jo
sephine Parker, Mrs. G. W. Holm
and Mrs. May Green. Mrs. Cun
ningham gave her eighth pint for
the gallon club.
The local center has a small
quota to fill each day of O don
ors for whole blood, as sufficient
supplies of plasma are on hand
for all army and navy needs.
Trips of the mobile unit to neigh
boring localities were discon
tinued last week, as It was
equipped to take donations for
plasma only.
Continue Saving Waste
Paper, Housewives Urged
PORTLAND, Aug. 18. (API
Oregon housewives were urged
today to continue stacking up
waste paper, draining used
grease into containers instead
of the sink, and carefully flatten
ing out tin cans.
The state salvage committee
pointed out that tin is still a
critically short metal, and fats
and oils still scarce.
"We hope the need for volun
teer activities In salvaging these
materials will terminate in the
near future," the War Production
board advised the committee,
"but for the present their efforts
are deltnitety needed.
