WHO SHALL DECREE DEATH?
A generation ago our fathers, in the stink
ing trenches of France, discovered a strange
thing they didn't hate the Huns in the dug
outs across the way, it wasn't against those
poor, tired devils that they had a vengeance
to wreak. Instead, they discovered, it was the
men higher up, the governments, the ones they
couldn't touch, that they were after. Then
what good were they doing, lying there in the
mud, with rifles in their hands to shoot at
humans whom they didn't want to kill? '
There is in this nation today a man who
realizes that fact, a man who is working with
heart and soul to see that the same thing will
not happen again. Before congress is the Lud
low amendment by which it is proposed that
the people of the nation, not their legislators,
shall make the decision for America's entrance
into a war in foreign lands.
By this amendment to the constitution,
Representative Ludlow would give to the
people who fight, pay, and suffer the right
to select whether they are willing to fight,
pay, and suffer. The United States constitu
tion at present reserves for the representa
tives of its citizens the power to decide upon
war. But it does not reserve for these repre
sentatives the powers to make the policies
which will lead ultimately into or away from
war.
In the hands of the executive and history
has shown and is showing it to he the hands
of one man lies the forming of America's
foreign policy. And there lies the strength to
so involve our foreign relations and so arouse
our legislators as to make the path to war the
only path to take. Not such an easy task
would it he to induce the one hundred millions
who will do the dying and the suffering to
conclude that there is only the one path left.
Impossible would it be to subject the peoples
of an entire nation to half the intense propa
ganda and influence with which each of the
531 members of congress is deluged concern
ing matters, insignificant when compared with
the hell of a war.
The proposed referendum would not inter
fere in any way with the active defense of our
own borders. It would simply transfer the
igniting force of America's war machine to be
used in foreign conflicts. In practice it would
mean a delay in deciding upon action.
But where is there a finer place' for delay
than in the business of starting a war? Per
haps in this extra time, hot heads can cool,
strained conditions can relax, other methods
can appear to accomplish desired ends. Per
haps in this extra time, the futility, and
utter impossibility of accomplishing the pur
poses for which lives and resources are about
to be spent can become apparent.
As one by one we have seen the ideals for
which our families fought and sacrificed in the
last war swept away in surges of violence, we
realize the worthlessness of their efforts. The
peoples of Europe were saved not for democ
racy, but for communism, fascism and nazism,
for intolerance, starvation, and massacre. Mil
lions are homeless, millions are tortured, mil
lions live in constant fear. These are not the
results for which the American people gave
their lives and loves.
Our democracy, the first in the world, was
established to give peace and freedom to the
people of our land. What can he more demo
cratic, how can we more faithfully guarantee
that peace and freedom, than to make the peo
ple themselves the protectors t

Miss Thompson's actions were,
we feel, in exceptionally bad taste,
and the goodness of her motives Is
no tenable excuse. Miss Thomp
son's actions were akin to those
commonly attributed to Bpoiled
children.
Being by nature Indolent, this
writer did not consult Miss Emily
Post or any other of the recog
nized authorities on social graces
and social conduct prior to the
writing of this article, but quite
probably Miss Post's "Mrs. Old
family" would severely condemn
and criticize those actions of
which Mr. Lewis was so "ex
tremely proud."
Democracies, if they are to con
tinue to bear that name, must not
only preach but practice toler
ance. While we concur in the be
lief that the purposes and activ
ities of the Bund are inimical to
the American system of govern
ment, the guaranties afforded
under the constitution to all peo
ples must be preserved to all peo
ples, in spite of their possible dis
avowal of democracy. The actions
of such persons as Miss Thompson
constitute as deadly and grave a
menace to the traditional concepts
of democracy as is the pro-nazi
German-American Bund.
For the benefit of Miss Thomp
son, and others who would deny
the Bund the right to meet, the
right to hear espousal of their
principles or opinions, we suggest
a perusal of the constitution.
Freedom of speech is limited, but
only by common decency and by
common courtesy.

The soap, not you,
causes dirty rings
around the bathtub
If you think that the ring ap
pearing on the inside of the bath
tub after the weekly dip is due to
dirt, you are mistaken, for the
ring is due to the soap and water
you use rather than the dirt you
wash off.
Contrary to popular belief the
ring around the tub is not caused
by dirt. According to Prof. H. G.
Deming, of the chemistry depart
ment, the ring Is caused by a pre
cipitate of calcium, magnesium,
and soap which settles on the in
side of the tub.
The newer soaps being developed
are designed to eliminate this dis
tasteful aftermath of bathing.
These new soaps form soluble
magnesium and calcium salts
which flow down the drain with
the dirty water instead of clinging
to the Inside of the tub.
