C, OCTOBER 28, Radio Address of Theodore W. Noyes, Chairman of the Citizens' Joint Committee on D. C. National Representation, Over Station WRC October 25. November the people of the United States, the citizens of the American States, choose their agents to perform the executive and legislative functions of the great representative Republic. American sovereignty is not the possession of one man, or of a little group of men, but is distributed among the whole people. Every voting American is a sovereign in his own right, and on election day he exercises this sovereignty as he deposits his vote in the ballot box, To all full-fledged Americans November 6 will be a day of national inspiration and patriotic pride. To the un-Americanized Americans of Washington the day will be one of humiliation and mourning. The Americans of the Disirict of Columbia alone in continental America are denied the opportunity to exercise the sovereignty which belongs to them as Americans. November 6th as Day of Mourning. Arrangements have been made by the Voteless Dis- trict League of Women Voters and by the Citizens' Joint Committee on National Representation for the District to bring this state of affairs graphically to national attention on election day. It is planned to remind Washingfonians that they alone among the Americans of the continental United States are deprived of the right to say who shall be the next President and Vice President <f the United States. November 6th is to stress the pitiable fact that 152 years after the Declaration of Indevendence national taxation without representation preails. Urging Voluntary Non-Voters to Vote; Making Com- pulsory Non-Voters of Washingtonians. All thoughtful voting Americans unite with patri- otic enthusiasm in the Nation-wide campaign to search out recreant non-voters and to make them vote. ‘The habitual stay-at-homes on election day are pulled and pushed by persuasion and lashed and driven by denunciation. *“Arouse yourselves from shameful lethargy!” the Nation demands. “Awake to a sense of patriotic duty!” *“Abandon this ugly pose of seem- ing contempt for your country and its Government, which slurs them and debases you!" ‘The 55,000 Washingtonians who can, if they will, vote in the States are not neglected in this campaign. But with striking inconsistency the quarter million Washingtonlans of voting age who have no technical voting residence in any State are not merely not urged to vote, but are barred from voting. Voting Americans thus condemn savagely potential voters who fail to vote. Then through inaction and neglect of duty they commit a like offense in effect by preventing from voting the quarter million men and women of voting age in the District who are without voting residence elsewhere, In essence the offense is the same: (1) to keep from the national ballot box those who are in equity entitled and eager to vote, and (2), possessing the right, to refrain from using it. ‘We frantically urge the fifty-five thousand to-vote; we close and lock the ballot box against the quarter million who plead to be Americanized. President Coolidge has rightly denounced the volin- tary and chronic stay-at-homes as abdicating their sovereignty. Do not those who refuse to restore to the Washingtonians the sovereignty of which they - have been deprived offend as distinctly as those who thus abdicate? Will They Play the Dog-in-the-Manger Act? ‘Then, too, the muititude of voluntary non-voters should not add to their negative offense of falling to exercise a basic American right the positive offense of denying that right to a quarter million Americans who wish to exercise it. ‘They do not exercise this right themselves. Will they help to prevent by force of inertia the quarter million potential voters of the District from enjoying this coveted right and power? Will they play the dog-in-the-manger act? Will they imitate those Scribes and: Pharisees, scathingly denounced by the Savior, who go not into the Kingdom of Heaven themselves and do not suffer those who would enter to go in? ' Unjust and Injurious Inconsistencies. But today’s inconsistency in denouncing one set of men and women for failing to vote and at the same time preventing another group from voting springs nat- urally from a gross basic inconsistency between Ameri- can practice in the District of Columbia and American fundamental principles. Search the world's records for striking examples of unjust and injurious inconsistency. Not one can be found which compares in grossness and intensity with the inconsistency of Americans of the Nation in with- holding vital American rights and powers from the Americans of the District of Columbia. The half-million Americans of the District consti- tute the only community in all the expanse of the continental and contiguous United States—populous, intelligent, public-spirited, patriotic, of adequate re- sources—which is denied representation in the National Government. And in all of the greater world-girdling United States—{rom Alaska to the Philippines, from Hawali to Porto Rico, in Oriental as well as Occidental America —there is no other adequately developed community than the District in respect to which Congress has not the power to grant national representation, Not only has the Union of States not Americanized the District, but it has not (we are told) so worded the Constitution as to empower Congress, in its discre- E LECTION DAY is close at hand. On the 6th of tion, to Americanize this marooned and politically alien . community. s Our National Slogan. Our national slogan proudly proclaims that repre- sentation and participation in his own National Govern- ment constitute a distinctive, basic right of the Ameri- can citizen—in a Government of the people by the peo- ple for the people—in a Governmént which roots its jus, tice in consent of the governed—in a representative Government which inseparably couples taxation and arms-bearing as a soldier with representation. So far as the half-million Americans of the District are concerned, the American Government js not a Government of all the people by all the people. It is a Government of ail the people by a part of the people. The half-million District residents are among the peo- ple who are governed, but not among the people who govern. The half-million Americans of the District do not give their consent to their National Government through elected representatives, in accordance with American principles, like all other Americans of the continental and contiguous United States. In respect to the half-million residents of the Dis- trict, representation is divorced frem taxation and sol- dier service. They are compelled to bear all the na- tional burdens of citizens of a Stat: in national taxes, in subjection to national laws and as national soldiers sent to war. But they are inconsistently denied the corresponding rights and privileges which in genuine representative government are with national obliga- tions inseparably wedded. Imposing National Burdens; Denying National Rights. We say with our lips that since the half-million Americans of the District pay national taxes, obey national laws and go to war in the Nation’s defense, they are entitled, on American principles, to be repre- sented in the National Government, which taxes them, :)hlch makes all laws for them and which sends them war. Then, by inconsistent acts and inaction, we stultify and falsify these basic American principles. ‘The Americans of the District bear all national burdens, but are denied vital national rights. In relation to national laws, the sole function of the District residents is to obsy. They take no part in making the laws which they must obey. In relation to national taxes, their sole function is to pay. Though they contributed in national taxes in 1927 more than 25 of the States, they have nothing to say, like other taxpayers, concerning the amount and kind of taxes they shall pay and how the tax money shall be spent. In relation to national war, their sole function is to fight in obedience to command. Though they sent more soldiers and sailors to the Great War than seven of the States, they have no voice like other Americans in the councils which determine war or peace. They have no representation in the Government which re- quires them to fight, to bleed, and, perhaps, to die. In representation in the legislative branch and by the executive branch of the National Government, they are on the seme footing as aliens, Before the judicial branch of the National Govern- ment they are, the United States Supreme Court says, less than aliens in the right to sue and be sued. Coddling the Filipino; Slurring the Washingtonian. While we thus obstruct in every conceivable way the Americanization of our own flesh and blood in the very heart of the Republic, we expedite with reckless haste the progress, on the lines of American representative government or of zd brown or yellow skinn>d residents of “sppurtenant” territory of the United States, like the Filipinos. Some of our political leaders have pictured the Fili- pino's political status, which is far superior to our own, as political slavery. While weeping bitter t-ars over the alleged political wrongs of the discordant Malay tribss who inhabit the Philippine Islands. will they not take the first easy practical step to right the grosser political wrongs of tha de-Am-ricanized half-million residents of the District, one of the most intelligent, public-spirited, loyal and intenscly American communi- ties in the Republic? Americanizing Aliens, But Not Washingtonians. By Americanization schools and otherwise, we Americanize the immigrant aliens who flock here as to a haven of refuge, yet inconsistently neglect the Ameri- canization of these half-million residents of an integral part of the original United States. We spend millions to teach our immigrant aliens to understand, appreciate and highly valu: Americen principles. standards and ideals. Shall we, by our acts or through inaction and neglect, teach the Washing- tonian, through the precedents we establish, to depre- ciate and to despise these pringiples? Fighting to Free Everybody in the World But Ourselves, It was proclaimed that we went into the Great War to make the whole world safe for democracy and for the liberation of its peoples, It was declared that we fought for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government, Surely, the Washingtonians who went to war 2 response to their country’s call did not shad their blood or lay down their lives to secure representative government for everybody else in 2ll the world except themselves. Fighting to make the world safe for democracy, America would not deny and betray the principles of democracy at home, If the purpose of the war was to substitute democ- racy for autocracy everywhere, let us mak> a begin- ning by substituting democraey for autocracy in the National Government of the Nation's City. We did not go to war to establish representative government in all the world, only to spit upon, mock and crucify the principle of representative government in the Capital of our great, self-governing Republic. ‘Why Worry About Non-Huriful Inconsistencies? But, says some one: “Why worry about verbal, non- burtful inconsistencies? Who cares nowadays about abstract principles and ideals? Why clamor for par- ticipation in American sovereignty, when, it secured, it may not add a dollar to one's purse?” One asked of old: “For what is a man profited if he shall gain th: whole world and lose his own soul?” The modern query is: “What is a man profited if he gain his political soul, but lose & nickel or a dime?” ‘The suggestion is not tenable that the inconsistoncy between treatment of Americans of the District and American principles and ideals does no injury. This inconsistency is vitally hurtful not only to its victims of the District, but to the Nation which in- flicts it. It brands the Washingtonian who assents to the suggestion that he is better off without this right and power as hopelessly unfit to exercise it. It tends to debase the complacent, assenting Washingtonian to the level of the scriptural swine before whom pearls are foolishly cast. 1t not only subbtitutes shame for honor, but it robs the Washingtonian of a genuine, concrete, substantial power—that of participating, man-fashion, in the coun- cils of the world's greatest Nation. Power and Prestige From National Representation. Possession of this power has given the small States prestige and influence in the national councils, Lack of it paralyzes the District in its fight for financial equity, for example, and exposes its humiliating impo- tency in other battles for justice. How much greater strength for every good end would Washington possess if it had, like Wyoming (a less populous community), a Warren to represent it and fight for it? Or like Idaho, a Borah? Or like Utah, a Smoot or a King? Or like Delaware, a Bay- ard; Or like New Hampshire, a Moses or a Keyes? Or like Vermont, a Greene or a Dale? Or of the past, & Saulsbury, a Gallinger or an Edmunds? Many of these men made notable records of service, first in the House and later in the Senate. ‘Their names are merely samples taken from a list of legislators in both houses of Congress, of potent in- fluence, valuable both to State and Nation, which States, as small as, or smaller than, the District have supplied and are now supplying. And yet some men suggest that the power which comes from such representation is negligible, worthless and not to be desired. District's Quarter-Million of Compulsory Non-Voters. In 1920 there were more than 250,000 compulsory non-voters in the District. This number is today large- ly increased. Does not even this quarter-million of potential voters constitute a factor of political strength on election day? This District quarter-million exceeds the total votes actually cast in the presidential election of 1924 in each of 22 States of the Union. It exceeds the total vote actually cast in neighboring . Virginia, in 1924, by the Democrats, Republicans and _Progressives combined (223,535). Virginia has 12 elec- toral votes. N It exceeds the combined wm vote cast by all parties in the 1924 election in Delaware, South Caro- lina,. Wyoming and Nevada (248,437). These 4 States have 18 electoral votes. Do not the District’s quarter-million of potential voters, steadily increasing, indicate a political strength worthy of consideration by the politicians? After suffering all reasonable, carefully calculated reductions, the potential voters of the District consti- tute a great army for whose favor the worldly-wise, far-seeing politicians will some day compete with sin- cere display of sympathetic, helpful consideration, in- stead of slurringly and contemptuously imputing to the community incurable political unfitness and to the Nation impotence to cure this evil. An Emasculated, Defective, Impotent American, The possession of full American citizenship gives greater honor and power than that conferred by ancient Roman citizenship. “I am an American” is to be an announcement involving greater reasonable pride than the proclamation of old, “I am a Roman.” Does the American suffer no loss who must modify his proclama- tion by saying: “I am politically an emasculated, defective, delin- quent, impotent American. I am barred, like the con- vict, from participation in the National Government which governs me, taxes me, makes laws for me, and sends me to war. Am I to be mocked when I demand this right and honor and power of other Amerigans by the reply that I suffer no real loss from this debasing deprivation?” Vital Injury to Nation. How can the Nation itself escape unhurt from the consequences of maintaining ‘the evil and injury- working paradox of non-representative un-American Government of the National Capital territory under exclusive national control? This inconsistency encourages anti-American bol- shevism and radicalism. It vindicates that slurring appraisement of the dignity and value of American citizenship and of American principles and ideals in which anti-American bolshevism and radical Com- munism are rooted, the present-day deadly menace to the fine, strong spirit of American nationality, It disables Uncle Sam in fighting this unpatriotic indifference or contempt, of which the non- voting evil Is a symptom. Uncle Sam appeals to the patriotism of recreant non-voting Americans; he denounces and threatens them. But how can Uncle Sam appeal to or denounce or threaten with any effectiveness, when he himself, at the seat of Government, sets the example of contemptuous slurring of the basic principles of rep- esentative Government? How can he lash the stay-at-home potential voter when he himself arbitrarily bars from the possibility of participating in their National Government a com- munity of half a million Americans, with over three hundred thousand residents of voting age, who con- stitute one of the most Intelligent, conservative and progressive communities in the Republic, and who are urgently petitioning for the right, privilege and power of participating on American principles in their own National Government? Should not the Nation insist, in accordance with the spirit of the times and In its own vital interest, that there shall no longer exist at the very heart of the body politic this foul abscess of non-Americanism, with its threat of blood-poisoning? A constitutional amendment is now pending which enables Congress to cure this evil condition. Will not cvery red-blooded American who hears me tonight petition and demand that this remedy be quickly ap- plied? Will not the people of the United States respond so vigorously to the District’s appeal that long before the next presidential election this unjust and hurtful dis- ependent self- govommng of the | crimination shall be ramoved? & “HUMILIATION DAY’ SCHOOL AID ASKED Teachnrs Urged to Interest Children in National Rep- resentation Plea. Public school teachers of Washington were urged at yesterday's luncheon of the Wachington Teac] Union at th> Y. W. C. A, to interest the school children of the District of Columbia in the National Capital’s “Day of Humilia- tion” on election day, November 6. Spesking in his capacity as chairman of the special committee in charge of organized by the joint. commiitee on national representation, Frederic Wil- liam Wile said to the teachers: “Unless the youth of the District of Columbia, now in jour educational | charge, are to grow up in the same humiliating and disgraceful political | plight to which their elders are sub- jected, the Congress and the people of the United States must accede to the Washingtonian's demand to be Ameri- canized.

Our movement is non-par- | tison and non-political. It knows- { neither creed nor color. It strives only toward persuading the country at large some day to give disfranchised Wash- | ington a" square deal. Two Slogans Adopted. “We have edopted two popular slogans for use on election day. They tell the whole story. They read: ‘Let Washingion Vote for - President’ and | ‘Give ~Washington National ~Repre- sentation.’ The slogans have heen put on stickers for automobile windshields. We should like you to aid us to dis- tribute them and to interest {he school | children in doing so. If it be within | the bounds of vour privileges to extend it your help will be greatly appreciated and, in my judgment, be of far-reach- ing effect.” Mr. Wile also told the Teachers' Unicn that the American Legion, De- partment of the District of Columbia, the funior and senior high schools of the District of Columbia on the sub- ject of “The Citizen's Duty to Vote.” | Th speaker expressed the view that [ while training their thoughts in the direction of the obligation to exercise the American citizen, it would not be inaporopriate to ask Washington school children also to meditate over the polit- ical disabilities under which their par- ents now so unjustly suffer Huge Motor Bont Beady With the intention of crossing the Atlantic in 60 hours or less, a French inventor has completed his “glider” boat.
