PRESIDENT
OK CONSTITUTION
It may be of interest to those
arbo would uphold the constitution
to know what that document has
to say about the manner of elect
ing senators, representatives and
president«. 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

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.-

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.

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

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.
