The new constitution, bearing date September 17, 1787, provided that it should ge inte effect upon the “ratification of the conventions of nine states,” which was, of course, a violation of the terms of the ‘“‘per- petual union” set up by the Articles of Con- federation. Nevertheless, the Constitution wae eventually ratified by all the states, eithough Rhode Island did not do so until it Was apparent that the new governmént would be carried out without her. There wis also great dissatisfaction in at least five In beginning the Constitution of the Ubited States, the delegates declared that, “We, the People of the United States,” but the form of government adopted was based almost entirely upon the representative theory and there was no provision whatever for popular elections. In fact, the framers of our organic law were rather particular in their effort to avoid giving power to the people enmasse. We cali attention to the framing of etr Constitution because the delegates to the United Nations Conference, which re- cently concluded its work in San Francisco, Whewlse begin the Charter of the United Nations with the phrase, “We, the Peoples of the United Nations,” although, at pre- ent, the charter makes no provisions to im- plement the assumption that it sets up an organization based upon popular decisions. The interesting inference is that the charter may, like the Constitution, be’ pro- gvessively interpreted and construed as a basis for the assertion of popular rights throughout the world. If the world organization follows the course of development witnessed in the United States, after the adoption of the Con- stitution, there is the distinct possibility, in ® century or two, that the charter may de- velop into a constitution of a world govern- ment that will gradually become stronger and stronger. This means, inevitably, that if the world organization works successfully, there will come into being, very gradually, & strong central government and that the nations, like the American states, will grad- wally lose much of their sovereignty and | geverning powers. eet as Sees Little troubles are big to little minds. ees , The man who says he wants to be fair is not always trying to be fair.

Typhoon, as many adult Key Westers know, is only another word for hurricane, with not as much difference between them as there is between a hurricane in this vi- cinity and a hurricane in South America. Cyclonic winds in the vortex of our hurricanes sweep counter-clockwise, but in South America, or, to put it more correctly, south of the equator, the movement is clock- wise. Newspaper stories, a few days ago, in. speaking about Admiral Halsey’s fleet that was caught in a typhoon, said that warning was not received in time for the ships to get out of the path of the storm. But that could not have been the case, because, a good many years ago an auth- erity on typhoons said: “Knowledge of the laws of typhoons is now sufficient to justify cautious pre- dictions of their paths and the issuance of storm warnings to navigators.” The writer explained further that ty- phoons usually originate east of the longi- tude of Guam and nearer the equator than Manila and move toward the west or north- west but gradually curve so that they pass northard or northeastward along the coasts of China and Japan, Ships in the Key West area are given warnings about hurricanes from two or three days to a week about the path the center probably will follow, and typhoons can bé charted in the same manner. The one that struck Admiral Halsey’s fleet is said to have changed its course, something that frequently happens in the case of hurri- AP Newsfeatures sg RIO DE JANEIRO.—American Army and Navy influence in Brazil has done much to swing: imporant the country toward American| influence which Portugal has ac- rather than French cutlure. cepted. a English has taken the place of} Now that France has been emphasized in high © turning to-Brazil, The Comedie rather than Montmar-|Fracaise flew the Atlantic.
