In the light of what the president is trying to get congress to do, the constitution, whoch all have vowed to “preser ve, protect, and defend” might well be consulted. Article I, Section 4: “The time?, places and manner of holding elections for senators and repre sentatives shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature there of; but the congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing senators.” That is all of Section 4. It stat es definitely that the method of choosing senator« is to be deter mined by the states. The 17th amendment has some effect on this «section by saying that senators shall be elected by the people thereof (of each state) with the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the legislatures. Article II, Section I: “ The ex ecutive powe»- shall be vested in a president of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years, and, together with the vice-presi dent chosen for the same term, be elected as follows: “Each state shall appoint in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of elector», equal to the whole num ber of senators and representa tives to which the state may be entitled in c o n g ress;............ ” To anvone who believes in the constitution that removes the Green-Lucas soldier’s vote ... bill , from consideration. However, like willfull children we have gotten out of the habit, those past eleven years, of paying much attention to any set of’ rules we don’t like at the moment The bill by now has done the thing it was probably conceived to do: take the mind o f the Am erican people and the .congress from the OPA and its troublesome iniquities, make congress and any one else who had read the consti tution look unpatriotic, boost the stock of our perpetual president with soldiers of this war and erase the stigma of poor treat ment of the soldiers of the last w ar. k GOVERNMENT SUPPORTING Kelly’s Column (Continued from P age One) n«r same Jamv token, vervv*,, term. And by the gome big shot Republicans will be all out for Mr. Roosevelt and a fourth term. The politicos don’t think ex-Secretary of War Har- ry Woodring’s move to start a “stop Roosevelt” campaign among the Democrats will get anywhere, The former Kansas governor is not popular enough with any group to successfully put over «uch a deal. A couple of GO.P. senators were all set to turn loose a blast concerning the $25, 000 a year salary the Democrats are going to pay their brand new national chairman, Robert E. Hannagen, until it was called to their attention that the G.O.F. paid John D. M. -Hamilton ' the same amount when he was chair- m an.

COMPARISONS ARE ODIOUS— BUT NOT TO US Although quotas were changed for this bond drive it doesn’t seem to have made much* differ ence in the comparative results. Wasco county bond aalemen complained in September that Sherman county’s quota wa« too email although the total quota was $80 per capita for each coun ty being $137,200 for Sherman county and $1,054,700 for Wasco county. The E bond quota was $42 for Sherman and ’ $30 for Waeco. Both counties made the quota in September. For the Fourth War Bond cam paign the Wasco county total quota was reduced to $813,000 or $62 per capita, whereas Sherman county’s quota was raised to $142,- 100 or $83 per capita The Wasco E bond quota was raised to $31.- 49 and that of Sherman county to $52J l .

C L A K G eneral C hairm an American Economic , Foundation As debated by i Henry Noble Hall Feier«« B r itith an d A m erican N ew tp a p erm a n , Authoritjr on In tern a tio n a l Affair». MB. HALL OPENS: Imperialism is the greatest civilizing force the world has ever knojFli. At least 4/5ths ol the human race can neither read nor write and are utterly in capable of governing themselves. They range from the savage Bhlla and Santals, Kadirs and Irulas of In dia, the aboriginal bushmen of Aus tralia, the cannibals of the South Pacific, the Pigmies of Central Africa, the low Mongolian forma of the Great Desert up to the educated ¡Hindus, the colored people of the West Indies, the Arabs of North Africa and the Levant, the French tlndo-Chinese and other native races (that have acquired a thin veneer of democracy at F. (niburgHV'Paris bud 'other universities. How are they to be gradually fitted for self-govern ment and to take their place along side the highly civilized people» of the United States, England, France, Poland and other Western nations which, for a thousand years and more, have slowly, generation by generation, fitted themselves for Democracy, for Government of the People, by the People and for the People? Only by Imperialism—which as far as the United States and Great Britain are concerned—ia synony mous with Altruism, can this world be made better for the vast majority of mankind. MB. \ FISCHEB CHALLENGES: Imperialism is Altruism! The pur pose of empires it to exploit colonies, if Imperialism did not, possession would have no sense. Official data shows industrial establishments in India employed a total of 1,940,477— fn a country of 400 million inhabi tants! India is held back to feed Brit ish home industries with raw ma terials, and British policy is to dis courage establishment of colonial in dustries which might compete with home industries. Is it “Altruism” that Indian^ life expectancy is 27 years, in England 60; that 45% of the children born die before the age of 5; that only 3500 students study medicine in a country scourged by disease, malnutrition, and pestilence? MB. HALL BEPLIES: Altruism sure! Possession can be Justified only if it is to the advantage of the gov erned. The U. S. spent 2 billion dol lars and 45 years to bring democracy to the Filipinos. India ia a headache, but would be far worse off were it not for British kule. Surely it is our duty to help our backward and be nighted brethren, the “lesser breeds •without the law.” That duty will not have been fully discharged so long as there remains, anywnere on God’s Earth, a single savage, the untutored tenant of neglected space. Alone Im perialism can bring truth, justice, honor and the Four Freedoms to mankind. L ob is Author o f forthcom ing booh “ E m p ire ” IntemaÜonaUr knoten irriter and Ucttwer. MB. FISCHEB OPENS: Imperial-1 ism retards progress and thereby < gravely injures civilization. Empires are war-makers and slump-maker». It ia bad for the world that 3/4tha of the human race should liva like animals; that 2 billion humans eat, wear and enjoy little shelter or cul tural necessities. Thia humanity con stitutes an economic desert whose, production and consumption is shame-, fully low. Empires — children of chance and conquest, built on the: might of one nation, the weakness of their coloniea—are not built on; rig h t What right has England to rule India?—Japan to rule Manchu ria or Burma?—Italy to rule Abya- sinia? Nona! Empires are obsolete myistones around the neck» of em pires and colonies. The British argue that religious and caste differences bar the way to complete freedom for India. Yet the history of British im -’ perialixm and British laws, deeds and statutes points toward a deliber ate policy to divide India. An im perial government can divide a col ony indefinitely. Dtotetoa then be comes a« excuse for dependence. The end of imperialism w ill accelerate progress. It w ill not be easy, la 1931 Churchill »aid. * . . the loaa of India would be final and fatal to ua . . . would reduce us to a minor pow-J er . . That is why India cannot' be free to progress! MB. HALL CHALLENGES: Of course it ia bad for the world that, 2 billion humans should live like animals; eat, wear and enjoy little, shelter or “cultural necessities.” That is how my ancestors lived 2,000 years ago. They painted their bodies blue and roamed naked in the woods of Britain. It was the Roman»—those great Imperialist*—wrho brought us civilization, opened our porta, planned our town», built the very roads we use today. Judge Imperialism by re sults. One hundred years ago there were not 2,000 white men in New Zealand, which has been a self-gov erning and sovereign dominion of, the British Commonwealth aince 1931. ; MR. F I8C H JB BEPLIES: Mr.'} H all’s ancestors removed paint from) their bodies, put shoes on their feet, clothes on their backs, roofs over their heads, automobiles on their roads through exploitation of empire slaves. Prime Minister Jan Christian Smuts Just said. . Britain is economical-' ly poor as against the vast resources of the Soviet Union and the U. S. . . • ( Should wa not cease as Great Britain to be an island? . . . SheuM we not work with the small democracies In Western Europe? . . . Surely their place is with thia member of the trinity . . . their future ia with Gre< t! Britain and the next world-wide British system.” Is this Imperialism, Mr. Hall, or “Altruism”?
