Working People of Country Urged to Call on Congress to Support Measure. Millions of _enfranchised citizens throughout the United States again last $ | night were petitioned to lend their ac- tive support to the movement to grant to the half-million voteless residents of the District of Columbia the right to a' voice in their Government when Wil-| liam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Justice Wen- | dell P. §tafford of the District Supreme Court told of Washington's plight in ad- dresses broadcast from WRC over a coast-to-coast network of the National Broadcasting Co. stations. Speaking in another of the series ar- ranged by the Citizens’ Joint Committee | on National Representation for Wash- ington, President Green urged the work- ing people of the country to call upon members of Congress to lend their su, port to resolutions now pending in Con- gress providing for & constitutional amendment which would enable resi- dents of the National Capital to have representation fn Congress and to vote in presidential elections, Violation of Principles. Justice Stafford, who followed the Labor Federation head in the series, declared that the withholding of repre sentation from the residents of the Dis- trict was so clearly a violation of the spirit of American principles that the burden of proof in the matter rested with objectors to the movement to show that Washingtonians should mot be granted these American rights. The present voteless condition in Washing- rted, “is a repudiation of American principles not tolerated elst He emphasized the fact thi the representation plan would not di turb the present control which Con- gress has, and should have, over the National Capital. President Green in opening declared that the deprivation of representation to nearly a half-million’ citizens here simply because they happen to reside in the National Capital, to be contra- dictory to the spirit of 'American in- stitutions, and added: “This condition will not continue when the citizens of the United States become aroused, when a sense of jus- tice pervades the Nation so that a crystallized public opinion will be cen- g&e&sun the Congress of the United Increase in Population, Mr. Green spake, in part, as follows: “The seriousness of the question may be fully appreciated when we consider the fact it the City of Washington has grown from a small town of about 9,000 in 1800 to a population approxi- mating 500,000. The District of Columbia is thus increased. In like proportions there has been an increase in wealth, in home ownership, in the imposition of taxation and in the great responsibilities which come to such a growing city and community. “If there were any justification in the early days for the denial of the right of the people who resided in the District of Columbia to vote the reasons therefore have long been removed and the righteousness of the demand of the residents of the District has increased. “Perhaps those who dwell in the cities, towns and agricultural districts jof the Nation can better understand this unjust state of affairs which pre- vails in the District of Columbia by drawing an imaginative parallel or com- parison. Suppose, in the large cities in the different States, voters were de- prived, by act of Congress, of the right to vote, in municipal, State or Nlt.ls\l elections. What would happen? Wé¥d the people thus deprived of the right to vote meekly submit and willingly be governed by others in all matters affecting taxation, administration and representation? Would those affected by the enactment of such ation rémain inactive or complacent? It is safe to assume that no such condition would long be tolerated. Smarting under a keen sense of injustice, the people would protest and no doubt the Congress would heed such would quickly apply a remedy. Through contemplation of the existence of such an undemocratic condition the sover- eign citizens of our great country may appreciate the state of mind prevailing among all those who dwell in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Cannot Express Choice. “They are denied the right to vote. They are denied the right of representa- tion in the legislative bodies of our Gov- ernment. They cannot go to the polls, as others do, on election day and express their choice of candidates for the ex- ecutive offices and legislative offices of the Government. “There is no doubt in the minds of any fair-minded persons of ularly those who understand the broad, tolerant, fais attitude of the resident voters in all the States that if this ques- tion, the right of the potential voters in the District of Columbia to vote, were submitted to a referendum vote of the people of the United States for final decision it would be adopted by an overwhelming majority. The problem 15 to bring about this e: of an almost unanimous opinion of our country's citizenship upon a question so vital to all those who reside in the Dis- trict of Columbia. “The working people of the United States, as represented by the American Federation of Labor, took an advanced position upon this question. In 1891 a convention of the American Federa- tion of Labor declared in favor of self- government for the District of Colum- bia. This cross section of American life has consistently supported this dec- laration. “We believe in equal rights for all— political as well as personal—and the American Federation of Labor will esteem it a privilege to continue its advocacy of this great principle until the Congress of the United States re- sponds to what is clearly the decisive majority of public opinion. “There are thousands of working men and women employed in the District of Columbia who are forced to obey the laws enacted by those who do not rep- resent them and who are compelled to {meet all the requirements of citizenship A VERY rich, high-grade product, erpecially recommended by phy- sicians to persons requiring & milk o, Sxcentionally mourishing qualities.

Their personal interests are here, their property values are here and | they are called upon to pay all taxes levied by the civic authorities and by the Congress of the United States. Remedy Has Been Proposed. “A remedy for this indefensible and undemocratic state of affairs has been proposed to the Congress of the United States. “A constitutional amendment which provides that the residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia shall be entitled to elect Representatives to Congress and shall be accorded the right to vote for presidential electors upon the same basis as the different States of the Union has been offered for considera- tion and action. This amendment, if adopted by Congress, will be submitted to the different States for ratification. This is & most reasonable proposal. No demand is made upon Congress for the right to vote for municipal officers or for the exercise of the right of self- government in the administration of the affairs of the City of Washington. The people are quite willing to allow the exercise of this power to remain in the hands of Congress, as provided for originally in the Constitution of the United States. In this way the interests of the Federal Government will be fully protected against local control or hin- -ance, “The potential voters of the District of Columbia are sincerely and actively interested in securing for themselves the right to vote. They are not indif- ferent, but they are so thoroughly aroused that lhe{ will continue to ap- peal to their fellow citizens through- out the land until they are made po- litically equal with them. “The Central Labor Union of Wash- ington, representing more than 60,000 workers, is intensely interested and in their behalf I appeal to the working people and their friends throughout the United States to actively interest themselves to help their fellow-workers here and to demand that they be given the right to vote. Most effective work can be done in behalf of this great movement if you will call upon the members of Congress who represent you to give force to your wish that the con- stitutional amendment providing for the enfranchisement of the citizenry of the District of Columbia be adopted.” Justice Stafford Speaks. Justice Stafford spoke, in part, as fol- lows: he right to be represented is gen- erally recognized as a political right belonging to other citizens of the United States. Of course, it cannot be said to be a legal right unless it is recognized by law. If the right is not be recognized in the case of citizens of the United States residing here, those who would withhold the right are in all fairness bound to show cause why it should be withheld. There is nothing in the letter of the Constitution that forbids it and certainly nothing in the ;l.::l“:é of that broad and humane docu- “Nobody pretends that the citizens of the United States residing here are dif- ferent in any respect from those resid- ing in other parts of the country unless it be in the bare facts that they do reside in the District. The proposition then must be that if a citizen resides in the District of Columbia he ought to lose all right to be represented either in the electoral college or in Congress. Now on the face of it that strikes one as a rather remarkable proposition. “What harm would come from allow- ing them to vote here although they do happen to reside here? It has never been seriously contended that the na- tional tranquility would be disturbed it citizens residing here should be per- mitted to drop their ballots into a box in the District of Columbia. It is not suggested that riots would follow or that blood would flow, nor that the President or Congress might be overawed by the fact that citizens here were quietly ex- ercising the same right exercised by other citizens elsewhere. At present there are over a half million citizens of the United States residing here. If they should be accorded representation in the House of Representatives in pro- portion to their numbers, they might, let us suppose, have two members of the House, Would the power which those two members might wield endanger in any degree the complete control of the District by Congress? Of course not. They would constitute only an insignifi- cant_fraction of the whole number of the House. They would have no more power than any other two of the 435 members. They might indeed be expect- ed to know rather more about the Dis- trict and its needs than members from other localities; but it will hardly be contended that that fact would con- stitute an objection. Even if both should be members of the committee on the District of Columbia; could anything but good result therefrom? Could.they control the committee or the Congress? District Is Not a State. “Regarding representation in the Sen- ate, objections might be raised that would deservé at the hands of Con- gress more careful consideration. I for one would not favor the allowing of two Senators to the population re- siding here, because to do so would be to put the District on a parity with a State so far as national legislation is concerned. The States as States ere represented in the Senate. The Dis- trict of Columbia is not a State, and, in my judgment, ought not to be made a State. The proposition is not to make it a State in any sense. If it were made a State it would naturally have the power to legislate for itself in all such matters as those in which a State leg- islates for itself. That is an entirely different proposition from the one now put forward. What I contend for is the right of representation, especially in the House of Representatives, and I have never been able to see any sub- stantial objection to the recognition of this right. “It is not difficult, however, to point out positive advantages that might be expected from the grant. The country as a whole should be benefited by hav- ing in the- body that must lcgislate for the District members from that District. That is the theory of repre- sentative government, is it not? It is not only right that those who are leg- islated for should have some voice in choosing their legislators, but it has always been thought by Americens to be expedient as well as right. “There is another good that would be gained, and one which as it seems to me is more important still. By recognizing the body of people residing here as entitled to representation like other citizens we should remove a re- roach to American institutions which existed for too many years. It is a blot on the escutcheon. It is a denial of the American creed in the very heart of America. It is impossible to justify it. It is = repudiation of American principles not tolerated else- where. If it does exist elsewhere, it exists as a plain violation of constitu- tional right, which no doubt will disap- pear in the course of time. But for the District of Columbia there is no ground for hope unless Congress shall be given the explicit and unquestionable power to recognize this right in your fellow citizens residing here. Ask People to Consider. “What we are asking of you now is that you consider the proposal in all fairness, and if you favor it that you let that fact be known by your repre- sentatives in the National Senate and House. Some objectors to the proposal seem to think that this is an effort to ])ut into the hands of the people who ive in Washington the power to con- trol the city as other cities are con- trolled by their inhabitants. That is not the proposal at all. The affairs of the District would still be as much under the control of Congress as they are now.

By the Assoclated Press. Ratification of the Kellogg treaty for | the renunciation of war by Japan, the | last of the 15 original signatory nations, | is expected in American Government | circles probably within the next few | days. The approval of the treaty by the Japanese government, which will bring into being the pact renouncing war as a national Follcy by the vast majority of the world nations, has reached its final stages, advices reaching the State Department relate. Premier Tanaka has submitted the pact to the emperor, who has turned it over to the privy council for examination under the directions of the Japanese constitution in the case of treaties. The privy council, it is believed, by State Department officials, is certain to grant its approval, although it 1s expected to add an interpretation to the pact making clear that the treaty- making power vested in the emperor is not affected by the treaty. If the Japrnese government does ap- prove the treaty, it will not go into full effect, however, until its ratification is deposited in the archives of the United | States Government, as is prescribed in the pact itself. President Hoover upon that action will issue a proclamation | that the 15 original signatory nations | have deposited their instruments of | ratification and Secretary Stimson will | dispatch to each of the other 14 slg»i natories and to the other adhering na-| tions a certified copy of every instru- | ment of ratification or adherence. Since the treaty was signed in Paris on August 27, 1928, the United States and the other original signatory na- tions except Japan have ratified it and 48 other nations have either deposited their adherence or signified their ap- proval or_intention of adherenc Congress, representing the people of the whole United States, but that Con- gress ought to include in its member- ship representatives from the body of people here, just as it includes repre- sentatives of similar bodies of people re- siding elsewhere. That, as I uncerstai-d it, is the length and breadth of the pro- posal, and of that proposal I am heartily in favor, “I do not dwell upon the fact that those residing here have exactly the same stake that you have in the na- tional well-being; I do not dwell upon the great property interests held by them, nor upon the patriotism they have always shown by free-hearted con- tributions to national causes, nor on the great sacrifices they have made of their young manhood and womanhood In time of war; because the right to be represented does not depend upon these things, but ought to be a right con- ceded to all citizens within reasonable “qualifications by virtue of their citizen- ship alone. “Every citizen of the country, no matter where he lives, ought to be able to take that noble pledge of allegiance to our flag with a whole heart and with no rankling sense of injustice. I ask you to note carefully the words of that familiar pledge, especially the last: ‘T pledge alleglance to the flag of the United States, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation indivisible. with Liberty and Justice for all."” raw Will Rogers Sa.ys: BELIEVE GURAGAD - RAIDS ARE ENDED Precautions Taken to Prevent | Recurrence of Outbreak in Dutch Colony.
