Thus spoke our Walter, with typical Johnsonian modesty, as he emerged in street clothes from the dressing room a few minutes after the end of his first world series game and joined his pretty wife and attractive mother in his new limousine, presented him before the game by Washington fns. “It war & hard game to lose— but 1 did my best. The Giants. played a great game. They had to, to Leat our team. The boys gave me wonderful support and it's too bad we had to lose,” continued Barney, as bhe stood besi the shining car, nearly mobbed by cheering fans who wished to shake that famous right hand or by women and boys who begged for signature’ on programs, scraps of paper or what-not. 1 have no Mother Is Proud. “Walter pitched a great game, didn't he?” asked his mother ot a Star reporter as she sat in the back of the machine while her son tried to comply with a few of the requests made of him. “I'm ter- ribly sorry he lost. | wanted so much to him win that game But he did wonderfully well, 1 think, don’t you?

Walter's wife, sitting in the right-hand front seat of the new car, echoed the words spoken by her mother-in-law. Before the game started she had told a Star reporter to tell the Washington public that whether her nusbind won or lost, they could rest as- sured that he had put everything he had into the game in fulfill- ment of the supreme ambition of his life. And his mother at the same time had pointed out that one of the teams had to win, and she hoped that Walter's wouldn't be the one to lose. Women Philosophical. The two women were just as philosophical after the game, and just as proud of “their Walter,” as they had been at the outset. They waited smilingly and pa- tiently while the Nationals' star hurler penned several signatures. As Walter started to get in the driver’s seat of the limousine he remembered that his other car was being left behind. and when a friend volunteered to drive the old car home for him, Barney said: “Take it and keep it all evening, if you want to. I'm going to stick with this for quite a while.” With that the “Big Train” moved stowly off through the yelling throng. his face wreathed in siniles. us though he were a school- I boy trying out a new coaster wagon. | And the spontaneous shout that heralded his leaving was the fans' testimonial of affection for an extraordinary ball player and kentleman who bad been given a supreme chance to show what he could do in a world championship fight and had covered himselt with glory in the losing of it.

Our pecple are de- voted to the interests of ‘peace We propose to perform our obligations under our treaties and under inte national law. We have had a grati- fying leadership in promoting peace- ful settlements. ,Our policy h» | established an abiding pea i { hemisphere. But the peop!c of this | country would never toler: - sub- mission to any power of powers of the determination of any of our domestic questions. If we are to co-operate, we must be per- mitted to co-operate without the sae- rifice of our right to determine our own policies.” At another point and in answer to Democratic attacks for failure to par- ticipate in international conferences, Mr. Hughes said: | " “We believe in ferences, refer- rms the Mr the gen. anged international con- ut conferences are directed and when we participate to the extent that we c¢an ke good our obligations according to cur system of government and in accordance with the dominant senti- ment of our people. The form and extent of our participation are gov- ! erned by these principle: Demand Not Clear. The Democratic attack seemed to ! have special reference to the League of Nations and its committees, Mr. | Hughes said, adding that if the de- | mand were that the United States should join the league and thus fully participate, “that would be an un- ;(lerrlan(lablt‘ demand.” i | " “But it ie precisely the position which the Democratic party has refused to | take,” he continued. “It has declined, to make the question of joi g the league an issue in this campaign.” Not having Joined the league, Mr. Hughes continued, he failed to see how the United States could “‘assume to act” | as a member of that body and incur the | obligations of members. . | “What do our Democratic opponents | propose? the Secretary said. “After { years of discussion, the test came in the | Democratic convention. There was an | acute controversy over the resolutions | on foreign relations and the resulting plank in the platform, adopted after a | bitter debate, must be deemed to state the position of the Democratic party. It has been indorsed by the Democratic | candidate. “When we examine these proposals we find them to be rhetorical and vague in their general statements and wholly impracticable in their conclusion After reading the eection of the | Democratic platform proposing an ad- | visory referendum election on joining the league, Mr. Hughes continued: Calls Proposal Absurd. “Probably a more futile and unsound | vention of a great political party. * * * This is the proposal which the former Democratic Secretary of War aptly characterized in the convention itself as ‘a fanciful, illegal, unconstitutional, revolutionary referendum.. 1 need nol pay further attention to this absurd proposal than to use his words.” Mr. Hughes guoted at some length from the speech against the leaguc referendum clause made by Newton during the platform fight. But aside from its merits, he added, its adoption was “highly significant another Y rily linked with | endeavors, | D.

The first effect of the independent movement in case of success would be “no election at all” Mr. Hughes declared. adding: The third party begins by threat- ening us with confusion and panic.” The second effect would be to * up the organization of Congress.” he continued. and added: “Whatever difficulties other coun- tries may h with nume'rous | parties and coalitior it is plain that our system breaks down when ch divisive endeavors even threat- |en to prevent us from electing President.” The third | ticket proposal | nation-wide initiative and refer- | endum, Mr. Hughes said, "is a plan | of those who mistake agitatlon for progress.” What was really needed. e added, was to improve and | strengthen representative govern- | ment. “not to dilute it.” | Deplore Attack on Constitution. | But Mr. Hughes declared. “the most | serious and dangerous aim of the ! third party” to be its the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court in the interprétation of the Constitu- | tion.” This was far more than a | mere assault upon the court, he con- tinued, adding: “It is an assault upon the States. * + *+ When this Government was founded the smaller States feared the control of the larger States. What was possible then is even more pos- sible now with the great concentra- tion of population: The framers of the Constitution had | not deemed the protection afforded by the Senate, where every State stood on an equality, a sufficient pro- tection for the smaller States, Mr. Hughes argued. It therefore limited the powers of Congress specifically, he added, continuing: “Is Congress to have the power to override these limitations of its own autherity? Then these limitations might as well be abrogated. What use s a limitation which the one limited can disregard at will? The proposal of the third party would mean the enthronement of the Con- gress over the States. The Congress could pass any act it pleased curtail- ing or destroying the rights of the States. The safeguard of reserved power of the States the third party proposes to destroy. “If a majority in Cotigress has en- acted a measure, can it not re-enact it i it wishes? That power ta re- enact would be the power to destroy | the decisions of the Supreme Court |and to establish the supreme au- thority of Congress.

Every execu- tive act would by . this proposed amendment of the Constitution be- | come subject to the will of the Con- | Bress. The proposal destroys the con- stitutional guarantees of individual liberty. “The Constitution says that the | Congress shall make no law respect- ing an establishment of religion, or | prohibiting’ the free exercise thereof; {or abridging the freedom of speech, | or of the press: or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to | petition the Government for a re- dress of grievances.

One of the feminine fans was Mrs, Gladys Connolef of Hyattsville, who sat with her husband, the superin- tendent of the Triangle Motor Co., in this city, while her mother kept the couple’s 9-year-old daughter at home. Mr. and Mrs. Connolef declared they tried every way possible to get re- served seat tickets for today with- out result, so decided to make sure of a place in the bleachers. Mrs, Connolef is a consistent supporter of the Nationals, having attended 15 of the home games this season. “You bet I'm a fan” she told Star reporter last midnight.
