X.', ..X On the eve of the a new congress, the enty-fiftthere is Hullabaloo great hullabaloo and Clamor and clamor about social and economic legislation and particularly conabout the alleged necessity for stitutional amendments giving conwith these gress more power to deal of the noise emanproblems. Much ates from minorities, highly organidiffized pressure groups, and it is cult, therefore, to tell exactly what the attitude of the country, as a whole, may be. There are those both in congress and out who contend that the overwhelming vote for President Rooseconstituted a manvelts date for immediate action on a numdifber of these highly delicate and ficult questions. There are others whose contention is that the great vote given President Roosevelt was, in fact, a tribute to his personal popularity and that it was in no way connected with the various problems that are now before the country in individual capacity. Whatever the answer to these contending forces, the fact remains that we are due to hear something of them on the floors of the house and senate in the next few months. One of the things about which we are hearing many, many words at the moment is a proposal for an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting child labor. It is the argument that such an amendment should be annexed to the Constitution and that it should give congress additional authority to enact legislation setting forth the details of this new type of prohibition. Yet, while all of this raving and raging is going on, how many people are there who are aware of the fact that a constitutional amendment doing this very thing has been pending before the states for a little more than twelve years? How many people are there who recall that this amendment has been ratified by states? Whatever their twenty-fou- r recollection is, it is a fact and it remains a fact that to all intents and purposes, enough states have refused to ratify the amendment to kill it off. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, being alive to what he considers the meaning of the recent huge vote for President Roosevelt, has attempted to revive the fight for ratification of that child labor amendment above mentioned. He has written to the heads of the various state and local groups urging them to work for fa vorable action on the amendment in the states that have heretofore rejected it. Washington ooening of This brings up a new legal ques-t- i n. Stated succinctly, the question is whether a state New Legal legislature that once reiected Question has to a proposition amend the Constitution can reverse itself and approve the resolution after having once killed it. Mr. Green contends that this is possible. The American Bar association takes a contrary view. So, we are confronted with a problem within a problem and one that is likely to be distorted and twisted and misrepresented by those interests that have sought for a long time to make the Constitution appear outmoded. To become attached to the Constitution, an amendment must be ratified under the terms of the Constitution itself, by three-fourtof the states. That is thirty-siSince twelve more states must ratify, there is likely to be a hard drive to gain some cf the remaining states and to bring about reversal of positions already taken. It nearly always happens in drives that there is much loose mouthings and many unwarranted and unjustified statements. It probably will be so in this instance and the country must be on guard to sift the truth from the propaganda and must be prepared to make up Its mind whether it desires to place in the Constitution a hard and fast rule that no child under eighteen years of age may be allowed to work gala x. fully. For the sake of the record, here with is the language of the proposed amendment that is now pending: The congress 6hall have power to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age. The power of the sev aral states is unimpaired by this article except that the operation of state laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to give effect to legislation enacted by the con gross. From these words, it will be seen that an attempt is made to give Congress greater power over the rights of states to legislate for them silves. Such a ourport brings up in my mind the old question of wheth ?r a state or the federal government shall he supreme. There certainly are time:,, there are circumstances and th'te are conditions in which ; xtXxCXxXxxX. 5 XX t .pX Nv'XX? xX ."V- xX'XxXXx the federal government alone can deal with problems better than states can deal with them individually. But after all, conditions are not the same in any two states of the Union and it seems to me that the states ought to give careful thought But if she is married to a genuine gentleman, such as Gene Tun-ne- y is, or a gifted orchestra leader, such as Eddie Duch-in- , out she goes. The charming granddaughter of a poor Irish immigrant qualifies as an entry, which is as it should be, in any language. But when she takes for a husband the son of a poor Jewish immigrant, whose blemish is that hes a professional song writer and one of the greatest song is writers alive her name scratched off the sacred scroll. Yet whats an old family but a family that advertises that its old? And what is society except a lot of people who keep proclaiming that they are society until the rest of us believe them? to any proposition that takes away from them forever whatever rights are left to them under the Constitution. They ought to be free as far as they may be to handle their own problems on the basis of local requirements. The country cannot know definitely until President Roosevelt delivers his message to Social the new congress, dealing with the Welfare state of the Union, exactly what his position is going to social welfare be on the problems of the country. This is a general category and involves such social securthings as the ity legislation and legislation giving the federal government greater control over private business. The two phases go hand in hand and as far as I have been able to discover, it will be impossible to deal with one without in some manner dealing with the other. For example, the present social security statutes have a direct effect upon business through their taxation provisions. While basically they afe designed to protect against the sufferings of unemployment and the destitution of the aged who are without resources, it can be readily seen that somebody must pay the bill. The Roosevelt administrations theory is that private employers, meaning business as a whole, shall be the logical source from which to draw the financial protection that is conceived to be necessary. But in this theory there is involved very definitely the right of the federal government to enter into the fields that are now occupied or may be occupied by the states. It is largely a taxing proposition that the federal government must use if it is going to reach those classes able to pay. But the Constitution, federal laws and traditional practices of our people have built up certain lines of demarcation between federal and state rights. The questidn therefore becomes simply one that requires determination by the people whether they are going to allow the federal government to encroach further upon the fields that hitherto have been reserved for the states. We hear mucfi.talk about a revival of NRA; a revival of it on a basis that will make it constitutional and one with provisions that will reach greater percentage of business than was reached by the original NRA. Organized labor seems to be in favor of this proposition and na turally will exert considerable pow' er in congress, but some lawyers among the representatives and senators tell me that they do not see how the purpose can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment. On the basis of all of the information and opinion that I have been able to gather, my guess would be that before this session of congress is over something tangible in the way of a new constitutional amendment will be offered. It would seem, on the basis of the present trends, that it will be possible for the different schools of thought on this subject to get together only upon a constitutional resolution. My guess is, further, that it is utterly impossible for all of the groups and blocs to reach an understanding on legislation along these lines. Few of them are willing to compromise and without the attitude of compromise on legislation, highly controversial nothing except stalemates results, S.me observers even now hold the belief that it will be impossible for any agreement to be reached within congress on any of these social welfare propositions simply because the range of views as to what Is good for the country is so wide that there will be no surrender on the part of any majority group and unless concessions are made, as I said above, it is entirely possible that the first session of the seventy-fiftcongress will be a do nothing h session.

I think it could be said without equivocation that the business intersts have been the target for political demagoguery in the last few years to a greater extent than ever in history.
