PARIS PRESS 0.K.S HERRIOT'S STAND Communist Organs Only Op-| pose Geneva Expression of French Premier. BY CONSTANTINE BROW Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. September 6. By PARIS, The entire French press, except the Communist Premi Herriof The Nationalist pa- pers especially congratulated the premier on having finally taken the wise initiative, speaking not only for France’s security, but also for that of all those smaller European states in- terested in maintaining the status Quo of the new European frontiers. Some non-political newspapers sym- pathize with Herriot, whom they be- lieve disillusioned. The Journee In- dustrielle writes: “Herriot dreamed of being the art for the revival of an entente between Britain and France in London, and was willing to pay a heavy price for the realization of his dream. We never believed it pos sible. Now he is compelled to regain freedom of action by readjusting his ideals to practical methods, adopting specifically the French peace policy. The result may be a break between his party and the British Labor party. When he comes back he probably will have trouble with the majority of his followers, which might lend to his resignation.” Other papers representing the view of the French bourgeoisie late Herriot for his unwillingne barter Fran sceurity for idea The cond International assured him “that all honest men in the republic will approve and follow his move.” by O News o) U.

MOTHERS GREET FLYERS. New York City Patrick, LOS ANGELES, Calif,, September 6 —Mothers of two of the globe~tour- ing American flyers last night used the radio in an attempt to Speak a few words of welcome and maternal affection to their sons who today re- turned to the United States. Standing_ at the transmitter of KHJ, the Los Angeles Times radio- casting station, Mrs. Josper Smith, mother of the flight commander, Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, spoke into the ether: i “I am glad to be abfe to welcome you, Lowell. back to the United States tonight, and to _tell you that I am proud of you, because 1 am an American and because I am your mother.” She was followed by Mrs. Roberta Chase Harding, mother of Lieut. John Harding, who assured her son that her heart was “overflowing with pride that you have played well so fine a part in your country's achieve- ment and history. The mothers hoped that their sons might be near receiving sets, but asked that their messages be relayed on to them in event the “boys them- selves” did not hear them. DENIES PRESS CHARGES. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily New: COPENHAGEN, September 6.—The Danish vessel Gertrud Rask, with the American flyer, Schulze, on board, has returned here. Lieut. Schulzn was_in charge of the attempts to establish supply depots at Angmasa- lik, Greenland, for the American world flyers In an interview Schulze declared that there was no sense in the attacks of some Ameri- can newspapers directed against the Danish government and Greenlandish companies, charging that they had delayed the trip of the American aviators. Both had done whatever they could to aid, he said. The Gertrud Rask was dispatched to Greenland two weeks before she was due to sail, to please the Amer- icans, although experts knew it would be difficult to get through the ice at that time. Schultz added that he had given up the laying out of supply depots because the ship ar- rived too late at' Angmaghalik, and that when he saw the waters about that harbor he was perfectly aware airplanes could not land there. He then wired Reykjavik telling the fiyers to take the route via Frede- riksdal. “There is no reason for any at- tack on the ‘Danish authorities,” he concluded. “They have given us all kinds of support and treated us ex- tremely weil both in Denmark and Greenland.” (Copyright, 1924, by Chicago Daily News Co.) FLIGHT END UNDECIDED. By the Associated Press. MEREPOINT, Me., September 8.— ‘Whether the world flyers continue their world-girdling trip to Seattle or end it where they began at St Clover Field, Santa Monica, Calif., will depend upon Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the Air Service. Lieut. Smith, flight commander, gave this as his answer today to a ques- tion whether the world fyers felt that it would be a severe task on the planes to make the extension pro- posed in order to save time for the record of completing the world cir- cuit.

He was retired from his com- mand and was seeking to leave th country when he was captured and held for five years in imprisonment Tradition has it that he was released through the joint efforts of Wash- ington and Napoleon. “He had a deep appreciation of this action, but alw s refused to support the Napoleonic regime. After Water- loo he insisted that Napoleon must abdicate an that the nation must guarantee his life and liberty. When the Bourbons were resto he de- nounced usurpations in the name of rovalty, as he had formerly denounced usurpations in the name of liberty s a corsequence he was charged with treason. He defied the assembly to try him on such a charge. ‘During the whole of a life devoted entirely to liberty T have constantly been attacked by the enemies of that cause; he ‘declared. ‘I demand a public inquiry within the walls of this chamber and in the face of this na- tion.' As his enemies dared not meet the challenge, he was acquitted. “After a few years of private re- tirement he emerged to ray a visit to this country, 100 years ago. Con- gress bestowed upon him citizenship and treasure and he was received | everywhere with reverence and ac- claim. When the revolution of July occurred in 1830 he once more became commander of the National Guard, where his influgnce saved his people from horrible excesses. Again there was an effort to establish a republic and make him president. But he thought a constitutional monarchy best adapted to the needs of his na- tion. So he refused this most ap- pealing of all honors and returned to his country home. His long career was ended. Ded “He repre geous dedic freedom, sonal heavy ted to Liberty. ents a noble and coura- ation to the service of He never sought for per- aggrandizement, but under temptation remained loyal to the great cause. He possessed a character that will abide with us through the generations. He loved his fellowmen, and believed in the ultimate triumph of self-government. But he did not consider France had reached a point where representa- tive democracy would be a success. He was practical. Like Washington, he refused a crown. But while he helieved Washington performed a great service in accepting the presi- dency of America, he belicved he had performed an equally great serv. ice in rejecting the presiden France. He approved the estah ment of our Republican institation: | and hoped they would one day be model for the government of his own country. He recognized the value of native institutions. So, while he was loyal to freedom, was likewise loyal to the crown. In moderation, in the gradual evolution of govern- ment and society, he perceived the strongest defen<e against both re- action and revolution, and the great- est hope for permanent progress. “We have come here today to honor the memory of Lafayette, because long ago heé came to this country as a private citizen at his own expense and joined us in fizhting for the maintenance and extension of our in- stitutions. It was not so much to ac- quire new right to maintain old rights :hat the men of that day put their fortune to the hazard of war They were resisting usurpations; they were combating unlawful tyrannies. No doubt they wanted to be Ameri- cans, but they wanted most of all to be free. They believed in individual liberty, safeguarded by constitutional guarantees. This principle to them was dearer than life itself. What they fought to preserve and extend, we ought to be ready to fight to maln- tain. “Very little danger exists of.an open and avowed assault upon the princi- ple of individual freedom. It is more likely to be in peril indirectly, per- haps with the avowed Intention of protecting it or enlarging it. Out of a long experlence with many tyran- nies abroad and a weak and ineffi- cient government at home, the Con- stitution of the United States was adopted and ratified. The people who largely contributed to the early set- tlement of America came to escape the impositions of despotic Kings. Many of the early inhabitants were separatists from the Established Church. They fled under the threat of the English King, that he would make them conform or harry them out of the land. Their descendants fought the Revolutionary War in or- der that they might escape the im- nositions of a despotic Parliament. Opposed Tyranny. “This lesson was firmly in the minds of those who made the American Con- stitution. They proposed to adopt in- stitutions under which the people should be supreme, and the govern- ment should derive its just powers from the consent of the governed. They were determined to be a sover- eign people under a government hav- ing such powers as they from time to time should confer upon it by a written constitution. They did not propose to be under the tyranny of either the executive or the legislature. “They Knew, however, that self- government is still government, and that the authority of the Constitution and the law js still authority. They knew that a government without power is a contradiction in terms. In order that their President and their Con- gress might not surpass the -bounds of the authority granted to them by the Constitution which the people had made, and So infringe upon the liberties of the people, they establish- ed a third independent department of the Government, with the power to interpret and declare the Constitution and the law, the inferior courts and the Supreme Court of the United States. No President, however power- ful, and no majority of the Congress, however large, can take from any individual. no matter how humble, that freedom and those rights which are guaranteed to him by the Con- stitution. The Supreme Court has final authority to determine all ques- tions arising under the Constitution and laws of the United States. “That power and that authority has to reside somewhere in every govern- ment. Originally it lay with the King. After limitations began to be placed upon him, it was conferred upon the parliamentary body. One of the great contributions which America made to the science of government was the establishment of an independent Jjudiciary department under which this authority resides in the Supreme Court. That tribunal has been made as independent and impartial as human nature could devise. This action was taken with the sole pur- pose of protecting the freedom of the individual, of guarding his earnings, his home, his life.

If the Con- stitution of the United States be tyranny; if the rule that no one shall be convicted of crime save by a jury of his peers; that no orders of nobility shall be granted; that slavery shall not be permitted to exist in any State or Territory; that no one shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; if these and many other provisions made by the people be tyranny, then the Supreme Court when it makes he COOLIDGE APPEALS TO ALL UPHOLD IDEALS Supreme Court Guardians of Individual Rights—Hits House Partisanship. in accordance with of our fundamental law is Otherwise it is exercising the power of government for the preservation of liberty.

But the legislature is not judicial.

Whether we like this practice or not, there is no use denying that it exists. With a dominant Executive and a subservient legislature, the opportunity would be very inviting to aggrandizement and very dangerous to liberty. That way leads toward imperialism “Some people do not seem to derstand fully the purpose of our constitutional restraints. They are not for protecting the majority, either in or out of the Congress. They ean protect themselves with their votes. We have adopted a written Constitu- tion in order that the minority, even down to the most Insignificant indi- vidual, might have their rights p tected. So long as our Constitution re- mains in force, no majority, no mat- ter how large, can deprive the indi- vidual of the right of life, liberty or property, or prohibit the free exer- cise of religion or the freedom of pecch or of the press. If the authority now vested in the Su- | preme Court were transferred to | the Congress, any majority, no mat- |ter what their motive, could vote away any of these most precious rights. Majorities are notoriously irresponsible. After irreparable dam- age had been done the only remedy that the people would have would be the privilege of trying to defeat such a majority at the next election.

A very broad twi- lizht zone exists in which it is diffi- cult to distinguish where State right ends and Federal right begins. De- prived of the. privilege of its day in court, each State would be compelled to submit to the exactions of the Con- ETess oF resort to resistance by force. On the other hand, the lagislatures of States, and sometimes the people, through the inftiative and referen- dum, may pass laws which are very injurious to the minority residents of that State, by attempting to tak: away the privilezes which they hold under the Federal Constitution. Ex- cept for the courts, such a minority would have no remedy for wrong done them. Their ultimate refuge is the Supreme Court of the United States. “At a time when all the world is geeking for the adjudication of differ- ences between nations, not by war, but by reason, the suggestion that we should limit the jurisdiction of our domestic courts is reactionary in the highest degree. It would cast aside the progress of generations to begin again the contest for su- premacy between executive and legis- lature. Whichever side has won in that struggle, the people have always lost. “Our Constitution has raised cer- tain barriers against too hast change. I believe such provision wise. I doubt if there has been any that has ever really been sired by the people, which they have not been able to secure. Stability of government is a very im- portant asset. If amendment be made easy, both revolution and re- action, as well as orderly progress, also become easy. The Nation has lost little, but has gained much, through the necessity of due delibera- tion. The pressing need of the present day is not to change our constitutional rights, but to observe our constitutional rights. “A deliberate and determined effort is being made to break down the guarantees of our fundamental law. It has for its purpose the confisca- tion of property and the destruction of liberty. At the present time the chief obstacle to this effort is the Supreme Court of the United States. In this contest there is but one place for a real American to stand. That is on the side of ordered liberty under constitutional government. This is not the struggle of the rich and powerful. They will be able to sur- vive. It is the struggle of the com- mon run of people. Unless we can maintain our institutions of liberty unimpalred, they will see their sav- ings swept away, their homes devas- tated, and their children perish from want and hunger. plies TUrges Defense of Court. “The time to stop those who would loosen and weaken the fabric of our government is before they begin. The time for Americans to range themselves firmly, squarely and un- compromisingly ~_behind American ideals is now. The great body of our people have an abiding faith in their own country. The time has come when they should supplement that faith with action. The question is whether America will allow itself to be degraded into a communistic and socialistic state, or whether it will remain American. Those who want to continue to enjoy the high estate of American citizenship will resist all attempts to encroach upon their liberties by encroaching upon the power of the courts. “The Constitution of the United States has for its almost sole purpose the pro- tection of the freedom of the people. We must combat every- attempt to break down or to make it,easy, under the pre- tendefl guise of legal procedure, to throw open the way to reaction or revo- lution. To adopt any other course is to put in jeopardy the sacred right to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of hap- piness. “Lafayette was always an interested student of our affairs.

There is no real independence save only as we secure it through the law of service “The course of our country in re- cent years has been an example of these principles. We have avoided entanglements by reserving to our own decision when and how we should help. We have not failed to help. We have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to foreign char- ities. We have given freely of our counsel to the settlement of difficul- ies in Latin America and the adjust- ment of war problems in Europe. We are still pursuing that course. Tt has been a practical course, and it has secured practical results. One of these most important results is'found in the disarmament treaties, which have saved our own country to date about $300,000,000, and likewise re- lieved other nations. Another impor- tant result has been the adoption of the Dawes plan for the settlement of reparations. The cffect these will have in averting war and promoting peace cannot possibly be overesti- mated. They stand out as great monuments, truly directing the course of men along the way to more civili- zation, more enlightenment and more righteousness. They appear to me properly to mark the end of the old order, and the beginning of a new era. We hope they are the end of aggressive war and the beginning of permanent peace. Lafayette's Fight Successful. “Great changes have come over the world since Lafayette first came here desirous of aiding the cause of free- dom. His efforts in behalf of an American republic have been alto- gether successful. In no other coun- try in the world was economic oppor- tunity for the people ever so great as it is here. In no other country was it ever possible in a like degree to secure equality and justice for all Just as he was passing off the stage, the British adopted their reform measures, giving them practically representative government. His own France has long since been welcomed into the family of republics. Many others have taken a like course. The cause of freedom has been triumph- ant. We believe it to be, likewise, the cause of peace. “But peace must have other guar- antees than constitutions and cove- nants. Laws and treaties may help, but peace and war are attitudes of mind. American citizens, with the full sympathy of our Government, have been attempting with apparent success to restore stricken Europe. We have acted in the name of world peace and of humanity. Always the obstacles to be encountered have been distrust, suspicion and hatred. The great effort has been to allay and remove these sentiments. I belleve that America can assist the world in this direction by her example. We have never forgotten the service done us by Lafayette, but we have long ago ceased to bear an enmity toward Great Britain by reascn of two wars that were fought out between us. We want Europe to compose its dif- ficulties and liquidate its hatreds. Would it not be well if we set the example and liquidate some of our own? The war is over.
