Circulation Manager Stanley Michael DEAAOCRACY SHALL WIN Almost in the form of an organized na tional campaign came two blows in 1 his coun try against the hated totalitarian governments ami their intolerances and persecutions. On Friday the co'mmissioner of investi rations, William 1. flerlandx, issued ten subpoenas in cluding one for Fritz Kuhn, leader of the German-American bund", and for .investigation of three allied organizations. Almost simulta neous with this announcement came President Roosevelt's bold declaration that the United States will not be passive and silent about persecution of religion in lands where democ racy has been snuffed out. In this type of peaceful coercion will the president find his greatest popular support. To the people of America, the freedom and privileges of this land are too far a cry from the medieval institutions of Europe which arc again springing up. for them to indifferently accept such uncivilized activities. However, the seeming futility in meddling in European affairs has not dampened any of their enthu siasm for stamping out the infectious move ments in large American cities. Just as a concerted, and even seemingly unconnected, campaign wiped out the gang sters ami underworld activities in this coun try, so shall a similar movement save at least the democracy which has characterized this country since its revolutions 150 years ago. It wasn't charges of murder, or even of mild criminal activities, which eliminated the pub lic enemies. It was merely the combination of federal police and a federal income tax. Just as greedy criminals falsified income tax statements and found themselves behind the same steel bars as murderers, so will for eign instigators of hatred and un-American intolerances misappropriate funds and find themselves pounding government rocks into federal cement. Altho loyal protectors of America's democratic principles of free speech and assembly may hate all the doctrines of nazism and fascism, they will not deny the rights of those people to meet and preach. Hut let those people overstep the thin line of honest and dishonest appropriation of funds, ami those protectors of the constitution will be transferred into protectors of the peo ple. Then will Mussolini and Hitler become cognizant of the full vengeance of red blooded Americans and their determination to make this land forever safe for freedom and democracy.

"Sponsorship of the New York appearance is still uncertain," John M. Rosborough, director and founder of the choir, said yester day. "The invitation is not only one to the choir, but also to the state. The acceptance of this invi tation must come from both the choir, as the organization to whom it is addressed, and from the peo ple of the state for whom it is in tended. The repertoire of the choir is now ready. The choir, acclaimed by New York critics as one of America's foremost choral organizations, would leave Lincoln June 6. It has sung in New York twice during the Christmas season in recent years, appearing in the New York Carnegie Music hall, in the chapel of the steamer Normandie, in Lily Pons' home, and before President Roosevelt and his family at a Christmas party in the white house.

Behind vorld events Ber Finkle SESQUICENTENNIAL The first Congress of the United States called to meet under the terms of the Constitution was scheduled for March 4, 1789, in New York City. Eighty-one dele gates had been elected by the people, but for some 27 days both houses lacked a quorum and the Senate failed to find a quorum for 33 days after the opening of the session. Saturday was the 150th anniver sary of that first meeting of the Congress. In commemoration of that event a joint session of both houses, with the president, his cabinet, the chief justice and as sociate justices of the supreme court, the diplomatic corps, high ranking officers of the military and naval services as special guests, was held in the house of representative chambers in Wash ington, D. C. While 150 years is not so long as time is reckoned in eternity, it is the current life span of one of the greatest nations on earth. A land with abundant natural re sources, governed under demo cratic principles by and for p. capable and willing citizenry, can scarce be called aught but great in the light of what we today sometimes regard as civilization. The United States today occupies a position of unique and pivotal importance in world affairs Its peoples, its tenets of government are heralded widely and much en vied. From a nation of 3 million peo ple we have grown to a population of almost 130 million. The landed area of the nation has trebled. Our economic, social and political interests are far-flung and touch the lives of many races and many creeds. Yet we are today as rela tively happy, content, and secure, as were our predecessors of 150 years ago. During this formative period of American history, for most stu dents feel we are now entering upon an era of stratification and one in which complete laissez-faire becomes even more difficult than it has been, some 1,642 .ien and women have served as governors of their respective states. There have been 32 presidents of the United States. There have been 70 associate justices and 11 chief justices of the supreme court. Senator Barkley, democratic floor leader for the majority party, in a speech before the joint me morial session, said that it was the supreme court not the senate which should be called the most "exclusive club" in American his tory. He pointed out that two of the chief justices served a total of 63 years on the bench or during nearly half of that period of legal history following the Constitution. The present incumbent, Charles Evans Hughes, has served longer than four of his predecessors and may well outserve all of them. Recent years have seen great political controversies waged over the personnel and conservative or liberal character of the court, yet it still stands as the greatest sin- gle safeguard for all things Amer-1, ican and as a bulwark against leg islation undertaken in haste. By a study of the personnel of the court, of its memorable decisions, we can all best understand how America, and virtually America alone, has preserved the concepts of liberty, of freedom, and the principles of general constitu tional dmocracy.
