LUDLOW TELLS HOW WAR VOTE WAS DEFEATED

Quotes Farley’s Account of Phone Calls to Halt Amendment.

Times Special | WASHINGTON, May 19. — How Jim Farley called enough Congressmen on the phone to checkmate consideration of a war referendum amendment in the House last ses- | sion was told to a Senate Judiciary | Subcommittee yesterday by Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind). The Indianapolis Congressman, who pioneered in pressing in the referendum idea, also has sent letters to all members of the House asking them to sign the discharge petition which would bring his amendment proposal to the House floor for action. Last session he obtained the 218 signatures required and it took the combined effort of President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Hull, Speaker Bankhead and the Administration leadership to checkmate it. How effectively the plan to prevent its consideration was carried out by Postmaster General Farley, in his role of Democratic national committee chairman, Rep. Ludlow proved today by citing to the Senators on the Subcommittee a passage from the Farley autobiography.

Quotes From Article |

“Let me tell you what happened | n that day, not in my own language but in the language of a more facile and entertaining writer, James A. Farley, Postmaster General and chairman of the Democratic National Committee,” Rep. Ludlow said. ‘I quote from Mr. Farley's article on Page 134 of the American magazine of November, 1938, as follows: “ ‘Time and again, when Congress has been about to vote on an important measure, I have appealed personally to members of the Sen- | ate and House to vote as the Ad- | ministration wanted them to vote. For instance, in the spring of 1938 a resolution in the House of Representatives provided, in effect, that the United States could not go to war outside its own territorial limits unless the Federal Government was first authorized to do so by a national referendum of the people. The resolution had many strong points. it was a difficult time in the Im of national affairs. Spends Day on Phone ‘I spent an entire day on the elephone asking Democratic members of the House of Representa-| ives to vote against bringing up the | ar referendum resolution. Many them had already voted to disharge the resolution from committee, the first move in its passage. | Some members frankly said they ere unable to go along with the | Administration. thers said they | ould stand by the Administration and vote in the negative. This apneal by telephone had an influence | in blocking consideration of the resolution.’ As to the truth of the last sentence of Mr. Farley's article, I, being the defeated party, can bear eloauent testimony. As already stated, 218 members of the House, a ma- | jority, had signed the discharge petition Sapport Pledged

“Many other members who are opposed to signing petitions had told me that when the resolution came up in the House they would and the combined support was so great that I am convinced that if the House had been free to vote without outside pressure, the Constitutional amendment would have been adopted and sent on its way toward ratification “The best evidence of Mr. Farley's extreme dilligence and effec- | tive work for the antireferendum cause is the fact that on a showdown the proposal received only 188 votes while 209 members voted | against it and our side lost by the | narrow margin of 21 votes.” | Adoption of the amendment | would keep the United States out | of any foreign war for at least 100 years, Rep. Ludlow predicted.
