Making sport of the senators who are opposing the rape of the Supreme Court by one of the President’s secretaries is best characterized as “cheap”. Referring to the progress of the Court bill as “one down and four to go”, sounds like the irrespon- sible utterance of a man who was out the greater part of the night before and who drank not wisely but too well. If you think government ownership is desirable for public utilities, have a look at the costly operation of the post of- fice depiartivent aitiwhen the government during the World War took over the rail- roads TR wate Sie Pew of them that when they were turned back afte¥ fhe war were almogt hors de. con- course, and haven't yet quite recovered. The Japanese appear to have a war technique of their own. They obtain their objectives and conquests by the simple process of assimilation with little fighting and never a declaration of war. The strangest part of the picture is that other nations lock supinely on without a —— of protest. turning and China is striking back. haps Russia is the backbone, At last, however, the worm is! H Per- THE WAY TO PEACE OVER HERE ! In 1922, if we have the date right, the leading powers of the world, interested in affairs of the Far East, signed a treaty in} Washington, pledging themselves to a} “hands-off China” policy. One of the nations, as the bright boys of the class will recall, was Japan. z In the early thirties however, Japan | chopped off four Chinese provinces to set | up the puppet State, Manchukuo. In so | doing, Japan violated her treaty promise | j and killed thousands of Chinese. | At“the present time Japan ap-| | parently bent upon chopping off additional \ provinces, in violation of her treaty} promise, and will kill many more Chinese | in the process. The Chinese for many years looked to the western nations for succor but today realize that the fate of China rests upon ' the fighting strength of the Chinese and that Japan can act in China without re- gard for treaty promises of the opinion of the rest of the world. It is somewhat pathetic to hear that is stand” that she will disapprove. t ne (Sev ance of other provinces from # what?’ Merely that while Britain “disap proves, the Japanese wild as they pl : in stealing Chinese soil, ypless, the, Chin; government proves strongrengugh to 8 the plunder. The United States, of course, ‘is keep- ing her nose out of the Far East, because, for all our interest in the fate of China’s millions of people, this country has insuf- ficient direct interests to justify inviting war, whichis probably what would be our reward if we had much to say to the Japs. | We, too, “disapprove” the course of the Japanese. Now, the siffering ‘of the Chinese will not be. without some gain if it assists some pacifists in this country to realize what would happen to us if we fail to maintain a navy able to defend this coun- try from attack. Neither Japan, Italy or Great Britain has given Japan to “under- You and Your Nation’s Affairs By GUS. The Wagner law has not been de- clared constitutional. The Supreme Court passes only on the constitu- tional principles involved in a specific case. A number of principles in the Wagner law were not con- sidered in the cases brought before the Court. A num- ber of things with reference to the rights of employers un-' der this law are. It is well to’ remember in these hectic days that an employer is an American citizen, and therefore has all the rights that be- long to any other American citizen. Our constitution recognizes no class distinctions. No American citizen can claim any right that he does not con- cede to every other. American citizen. A bargain is simply a contract. A mtract.is an agreement, and an ment means harmony o1 opin- u..Compulsion cannot have any The #to bargain collectively js that the employes of p have a right to select certain representatives from their number to negotiate with the em- ployer with reference to their wages and working conditions: Collective bargaining is simply a method of negotiating for a contract. It does not in any se change the essential na- ture of a contract. The right to bargain collectively means that the representatives of the employes may submit to the employer any terms they please with reference Rights — If You Can Get Them W. DYER | Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt SE to cctajlog tinal: But the employer is under no compulsion to accept the terms submitted. He is free to accept or reject anything submitted just as the representatives of the employes are free to accept or reject any offer made them by the employer. A compact brought about by com- pelling one of the parties against his will and against his economic inter- est to submit to the compact is not a contract, but an act of robbery. It is taking from him property rights by force. This is not permitted under the Constitution. The-right of employes to choose their method of negotiating contracts does not and cannot deprive the em- ployer of his constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of press. Certainly he has the right to discuss the nature of any organization or movement of his employes that may affect the success of the business in which they are engaged. To .ak> the position that those who carry the re- sponsibility of directing a business should be restrained from expressing their opinions on the effects of an activity or movement on the success of their business is not only antag- onistic to every proper concepti American freedom, but is absurt the extreme.

In fact, if the opportunity offered they are not, in our opinion above a joint operation destined to take into its cope the two Americas and furnish colo- nial empires for the attackers. We do‘not mean to become an alarm- ist but in view of what has happened in Manchuria, Ethiopia and North China, the ; peace of any hemisphere depends upon the existence of a power able and ready to de- | fend its territory from all forms of aggres- sion. So far asewe are concerned, the United States should, if necessary, under- write the safety of the Western Hemis- phere, and the only. way that we know of to do this is to make it unsafe for enemy warships or airplanes to fly across the oceans for offensive purposes.
