n't See Letting Everyone Vote but Mate Calls It Peace Policy

Women Wouldn't Do the Fighting, Says Dick, but Mildred Says They’d Help Keep the Nation Out of Trouble.

(Another Story, Page 21)

By BERTRAM BENEDICT Copyright, 1938, by Editorial Research Reports

‘Mildred and Dick Conover agreed about almost everything involving personal tastes—friends, books, movies, furniture, food, religion, radio programs; and disagreed about almost all the social and economic problems of the day. Now it was the popular Ludlow referendum before a declaration of war —soon to be considered by the House of Representatives—

about which they were arguing. “The members of Congress who decide for or against a war, they don’t have to do the fighting,” Mildred was complaining. “What difference does it make to them if the young men like you get killed, and the young wives and mothers like me get widowed? Let the people decide who've got to do the fighting.” “Well, you put it up to a referendum, and most of those who'd do the voting wouldn't do the fighting, either,” countered her husband. “Here's the World Almanac—Ilet’s see what it says about the ages of the population. Wait a minute: Here we are. Let's say the fighting will be done by the men between 18 and 45. Well, they make up only—let’s see, now—only about 30 per cent of the whole population over 21. “Think of all the women who could vote, Millie. They wouldn't do any of the fighting. Think of all the older people, both men and women, who'd never even go to the camps, but would help decide whether the younger men went. The lame, the halt, the blind, they'd vote but not fight. On the other hand, think of those who'd fight but couldn't vote—because they weren't 21 yet, or were transients, or didn’t own property, or couldn't pay the poll tax, or had once committed a felony, or were Negroes in the South, or what have you?” “I don't care, Dick. I'd rather have it that way than leave it to those 531 men down at Washington. They play around too much with the well-to-do—the lunch clubs, and the country club set, and the traveling salesmen in the Pullman cars, and all the different pressure groups. They haven't any idea what the rank and file of the voters are thinking. Take the last election. If you'd listened to all the upper-class people, vou'd have thought everybody wanted Governor Landon. When the farmers and the workers were heard from all Governor Landon got was Maine and Vermont.” “But we're a representative form of government, not a town meeting.” “Well, I noticed when it came to ratifying ghe Repeal Amendment, we let the people vote directly,” Mrs. Conover pointed out. “We didn’t leave that to the state legislatures in their wisdom. There were two states for the ratifying convention—one for Prohibition, one for Repeal. The people voted accordingly. And you can’t say war is any less im=

portant than liquor.”

Hard to Keep Out Bribery In Vote, Conover Admits

“But Repeal was something the people had years and years to think about,” Conover argued. “The things which cause war, they come up suddenly. You can’t expect the people to be reasonable about them. The members of Congress are in a better position to weigh the facts, pro nd con.” 4 “Well, I've heard you admit, yourself, that if Congress had known before we entered the last war what it knew after the war was over, we'd never have gone in.” “But look, Millie: There's not really one cause of war; it's just one thing after another. Take the sinking of the Lusitania. You have a referendum; the people vote against war. Germany goes on and sinks more ships; you have another referendum. Every time something new happens, another vote. You just tempt the other fellow to wipe up the floor with us. He's bound to watch his step better when he knows the President and Congress can always take action.”

Ludlow Resolution Facts

It provides that a popular referendum must sanction war before a vote of Congress for war becomes effective, except in case of invasion. It needs the assent of two-thirds of each house of Congress and of three-fourths of the state legislatures, because it amends the Constitution. It is opposed by the Roosevelt Administration. It was advocated by the Democratic platform of 1924, as part of an international program. It has no counterpart in any foreign system of government. However, during the World War Australia left conscription to a referendum, which was untavorable, It comes soon before the House of Representatives by dint of a petition signed by a majority of the House members. Among the signers were 60 per cent of the Republicans and 46 per cent of

the Democrats in the House.

“Well, Dick, it might be the other way ‘round, too. If Wilson had known in 1917 he and Congress couldn't get war without a popular vote, he might have kept munitions off American ships, and American citizens off foreign ships carrying munitions, instead of fixing the policy all by himself.” “But how would you keep bribery out?” the male wanted to know, “Why, it would be worth billions of dollars to a country to have us vote for peace with them! Or for war against their enemy. Votes could be sold for a hundred dollars apiece, maybe more. Some poor devil hadn't had a square meal for a month, I wouldn't blame him at all for selling his vote at that price.” “You're shifting your ground, Dick. First you were against the theory of the referendum. Now you say it would be too hard to work out right.” “I'm against it both because the theory's wrong and also because it wouldn't work out right. Remember that taxi-driver who took us over to the Phillipses that night it was too icy to drive our car? He was beefing because he had to work 12 hours a day to make maybe $3 or $4. ‘What this country needs is another little war,’ he said. ‘I made 12 bucks a day in the last one, working in a shipyard.’” “Well, that guy'd vote for war, any war, against anybody,” Conover

Hostess Sunday

Mrs. James L. Wagner is to entertain Sunday with a tea in honor of Mrs. Walter E. Treanor, who will leave shortly to make her home in Chicago . Mrs. Saul Bernat and Mrs. Lenore Frederickson are to preside at the tea table. The hostess is to be assisted in the dining room by Miss Dorothy Woods, Miss Adrienne Schmidel and Mrs. W. N. Fleming. A musical program is to be presented by Miss Charlotte Reeves, Miss Frances Wishard and Mrs. Robert Reiner. : Glass Used as Trim The latest interior decorating news says that glass is being used lavishly for a trim around windows

and fireplaces and to frame doors,

went on. “So would a lot of the unemployed. Why, they'd jump at the chance of getting good food, lodging and clothing and 30 berries a month to boot. So would all the fellows whose lives are dull and drab and unexciting. And all the rich gents with stock in steel mills and munitions plants, they'd turn on the heat for war, too. Believe me, Millie, the best way to get us into a war would be to leave it to a referendum of everybody.” “There aren't as many men like that as there are women who hate all war, any war, against anybody,” dogmatized Mrs. Conover.

Easier to Arouse Hate in Women, Conover Tells His Wife

“In the last war it was easier to stir up the women to hate the Gere mans than it was to stir up the men,” asserted her husband. “And if you had a popular vote there'd be plenty hatred-stirring, believe me. The people who wanted war they'd organize a hate campaign that would make mincemeat of anybody and everybody who stood in the way. Their propaganda would fool the people a darn sight quicker'n it would fool Congress.” “Dick, the common people aren't any easier to fool than the better educated. Look how Lord Bryce, and all the college professors, and the clergymen fell for the lies about the Belgian atrocities. War isn't something you think about. It's something you feel about. And when the people feel, they click better than Congress when it thinks. “Anyhow, we didn’t elect Congress to vote for or against war,” Mildred went on. Look at the dimwit who represents this district in the House now. I wouldn't take his opinion ona dog-fight, but I voted for him because he was a Democrat and said he'd support the New Deal. You admitted the other candidate was terrible, but you voted for him because hie was a Republican and said he'd oppose the New Deal. Why should the man who went to Washington under those circumstances dee cide for vou and me when it comes to peace or war?” “Well, there's one consolation: You can't get this referendum withe out amending the Constitution,” Conover pointed out. “Even if twoe thirds of Congress vote for it, it still has to get by three-fourths of the states. And I bet you anything you want they’ll kill it if Congress doesn’t. If they don’t—well, I'd hate to be on an American gunboat in China the day after it's declared adopted.” “The day after it's declared adopted, every American gunboat will be on its way out of China,” retorted Mildred Conover, and after that her husband refused to argue with her any further.
