WAR, REPORT

Former Federal Legal Aid Outlines Position at Public Institute.

BY ROBERT W. HORTON i Times Special Writer | UNIVERSITY, V¥, July 7.—The United States appears almost certain to be involved in the next great war, according to opinions

brought to the University of Virginia’s Institute of Public Affairs

ay. ; Dr. Frederick R. Coudert, former - special assistant United States Attorney General and legal adviser to the British Embassy, took the position that the United States has done “all we can at the present time, by statute, to avoid some’ of the controversies engendered during the last war. “To go further would be quite useJess,” he said. “It is unthinkable that the United States would abandon all commerce and all transactions abroad, however legal or proper, during a war. While belligerent operations exist ‘'upon the high seas, there is always the possibility that the American flag might suffer injustice. The idea of a foolproof neutrality is the merest illusion.”

Stresses Emotional Phase

Mr. Coudert emphasized the emotional inspiration behind a declaration of war. “If public opinion is sufficiently passive,” he said, “all participation in war may be averted. This, however, reckons without the main factor. The high spirit of the American people once aroused, patriotism . once incited, supposed American rights once violated, then the neutrality state of mind may be completely changed. If so, the consequences are unforseeable. Nothing that can be done at the present time can preclude such possibilities.” ; P. H. W. Almy, British lawyer and author, told the round table conference on neutrality that he agreed with President Wilson's prediction that “there will be no neutrals in the next war.” He discussed sympathetically the United States’ historic policy of isolation. ; “Circumstances,” he said, “drove you to the policy which has become traditional with you. You were in very truth a new world, as remote from Europe as the earth is from Mars. Neither did the rest of the world trouble itself very much about you. I sometimes think that it was Europe that isolated America rather than America that isolated Europe. You were, in European eyes, not so much a nation as a dump heap.”

Holds Isolation Impossible

As economic progress became apparent, he said, “Great Britain in particular saw in you not merely an ally, but a milk cow,” but “when it attempted to exploit some kind of political claim upon you it met with the greatest rebuff in its history.” Mr. Almy declared that it is no longer political or economically possible for the United States to remain isolated.

By United Presse 3 TOPEKA, Kas., July 7.— Text of Gov. Alfred M. Landon’s message to a special session of the Kansas Legis-

lature follows: LR “To the Legislature of the state of Kansas. i “The primary purpose for calling this special session of the Legislature is that such action be taken as may be necessary to enable this state to provide for what we generally call social security. . “Under Section 4 of Article 7 of the Constitution of this state the obligation is placed upon the respective counties of the state to provide for persons who by reason of age, infirmity or other misforture may have claims upon the sympathy and aid of society. “I am advised by the Attorney General of the state and ‘a large majority of the judiciary committee of the legislative council that under the Constitution of our state the Legislature can not pass valid laws under which the state itself may take a proper part in this public obligation. They advise me that in order to do so our state Constitution must be amended. The reason for a special session at tis time to consider the question of constitutional amendment is obvious. Such. amendment can énly be submitted at a general election and the notice must be published : at least three months before such election.

Amendment to Be Presented

“Proposed amendments will be presented to you, which, if submitted by you and adopted by the peo-

‘ple of this state, will enable the

Legislature to pass laws providing for the necessary social security. I trust that a proper amendment, or amendments, will be submitted by you to the people of this state at the November election and it will receive the approval of the electorate. “Such amendment should not, in my judgment, contain the details of a plan which may finally be adopted by this state. It should merely be a grant of power. The methods of administration have no part in the Constitution of the state, but should be left t6' the wisdom and the sound judgment of the Legislature. This is the procedure followed in the original drafting of our Constitution and the subsequent amendments. My confidence in the legislators of this state assures me that if this power is entrusted to them it will be exercised in a wise, sound and just manner to the end that the obligation of the state to its less fortunate may be fulfilled and the rights of all our people justly protected. “In considering proposed amend-

ments, I desire to call attention to the fact that the platform of the Republican Party adopted at its national convention provides for a plan of social security different from the social security act adopted by Congress. I do not deem this a fitting time to enter into a discussion of the’ relative” mérits of the présent act and the proposals set out In the Republican platform. Any proposed amendment to the Constitution ‘should merely grant to the Legislature of this state the power to enact laws to enable this state to join in any such final ‘act for this

Architect Working on Plans

“The state architect is working on plans and specifications for these proposed new buildings. Such plans will not be completed early enough

for the construction of buildings to proceed during the winter months, even if this Legislature should _Jnake the necessary apropriations. For this reason I am not suggesting that appropriations be made now for this purpose. Inasmuch as the early construction of these buildings is necessary I shall endeavor to see that the present tax levy for the current year is broad enough to include this construction. In the budget which will be ‘submitted to the next Legislature by the executive department a recommendation will be made that these buildings be ¢onstructed at once. : “The Legislature will convene in regular session next January. : If it shall decide to make appropriations for these buildings the funds will then be immediately available for the purpose. “I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the members of this Legislature for the many courtesies shown me, and the spirit of -co-operation manifested in the consideration of constructive legislation.
