B—20 A A SUITRAISES ANGIENT QUESTION Meaning of “General Wel- fare” May Be Discussed Before High Court. By the Associated Press. The A. A. A’s trial will bring before the Supreme Court this Fall a ques- tion that has remained unsettled for nearly 160 years: What did the writers of the Con- stitution mean by “the general wel- fare?” Government lawyers have been dig- ging into the debates of the men who wrote the Constitution, into old court cases, and into American history to find support for a possible argument that the Government can legally levy processing taxes on the manufacture of agricultural products because of its power to tax “for the general wel- fare.” The lawyers acknowledge that this question probably will play a role mn the Hoosac Mills case, testing the constitutionality of the A. A. A, and again in the Moor case, involving the Bankhead cotton -control act. What arguments the Government will make in these cases has not yet been de- cided, but the “general welfare clause” is an important part of the plans discussed. Old-Time Argument. The question may carry the court back to an old argument between the followers of President Madison and edherents of Alexander Hamilton. The Constitution gave Congress the power “to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and the general welfare * * *” Madison said this “spending power” | could be used only in connection with other powers specifically granted to | Congress by the Constitution, but Hamilton and his followers contended, | attorneys say, that power to collect | money for “the general welfare” car- ried with it power to spend the money, unhampered by the specific limita- | tions on Congress’ law-making power | in the Constitution. Discussed by Marshall. In one decision Chief Justice John Marshall discussed the “general wel- fare clause.” But that decision has been cited by both sides in the argu- ment. Henry St. George Tucker, argu- ing the case of Massachusetts vs. Meilon, said Marshall stood for a | “limited” interpretation of ‘“general | welfare,” to include spending only for those things specifically given to Con- gress to control. A solicitor general of the Nation argued that Marshall was on the side of a “liberal” interpretation, giving | Congress authority to collect money for any public purpose helpful to the | whole Nation. e ETHIOPIAN TROUBLE ANALYZED BY BROWN Writer Tells Young Men’s Forum | at Y. M. C. A. Dangers to World Peace. An analysis of causes underlying the Italian-Ethiopian conflict was given last night by Constantine | Brown, foreign news writer of The Star, in an address before the Young Men’s Forum at the Central Y. M. C. A. Brown discussed the Italian and Ethiopian viewpoints in the bitter African clash and cited grave impli- cations of the situation which are a disturbing factor to world peace. ‘The lecture was the first of a series | arranged by the Young Men's Chris- tian Association in its forum program for the Winter. Brown was intro- duced by Dr. J. Orin Powers of the faculty of George Washington Uni- versity, chairman of the Forum Com- mittee of the Central Y. M. C. A. Following the address there was a question-and-answer forum for gen- eral discussion of the subject by the audience. The Young Men’s Forum will meet again next Thursday to Thear a talk by Elwood Street, director of public welfare, on “Personality.” The lectures are open to the public. Smoke Is Fatal.

THE BACTERIAL COUNT OF YOUR MOUTH IS THE Selassie Tattoo Is Unpopular, So Artist Says War Is Trivial By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, Otcober 25.—This Ethiopian affair may be needling & lot of people, but, according to Char- lie Wagner, tattolst extraordinary, it hasn't a chance of leaving an indeli- ble design on the hide of history. “Nobody's interested in it,” he an- nounced sadly from his little shop in the Bowery. “Look, I got a picture of that Ethiopian King and one of Musso- lini, but nobody wants them tattooed on them. They all say it's a fad that can't last and what's the use of hav- ing something tattooed on you that people won't understand 25 years from now?” Wagner wagged his head dracularly as the mutter of the “L” drowned out the sputter of the electric tattooing needle which he claims he invented some 20 years ago. His shop is the mecea of tattooists and tattooed who have known him in the 4% years he has been in business and always seek him out when they want any remod- eling of their skin murals. “Now, you take the Dionne quin- tuplets,” sald Charlie. “There’s an event in history that will last. Why, I bet I've tattooted more Dionne quin- EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, tuplets on people in the last year than I have anchors and bleeding hearts. The ladies especially—how they go for those quintuplet de- signs.” As proof he pointed to his current ‘customer, an ambitious young man who aspires to be a carnival exhibit. “There,” he said, “see—on his neck —see all their cute little heads in that heart design?” They were there, but a trifle dwarfed by the battleship sail- ing across the young man’s chest and the “Pharaoh’s horses” galloping across his stomach. “I can always tell when anything Is important and will last,” explained Charlie, “because people only want tattooed on them the things they are really interested in. “Mother, sweethearts, the U. 8.
