THE MAN' FOR WAR HOUSING What the war-housing committees have ac complished Is chlelly their own education In the elements of the problem They have begun to learn th.H, neither general business ability nor expel ience In commercial contracting, ar chitecture or town planning can furnish sat Isfactory qualifications for the task. This Is something we bhall all have to learn before vve have won the war. We shall have to learn that tho tintl consideration of all Is the national need for Mich housing as will tnko cate of all the workers our war Indus, tries can use and keep them contented and elllclent. At tho head of our housing service, thetefore, vve need, not u man with tho technical experience of the businesses ami professions connected with building, Init a man capable of organizing the social and In dustrial data by which the need for housing may be measured. Such a man as Mr. Henry Ilruere. for example, would be ex cellently qualified for tho tank. AV'lth tlio work to be elone determined, It would become practicable to mobilize professional and busl ness talent for Its execution. We lack none of tha elements out of which to build a tplen did system of housing that would help us to win the war and to ease up the dlmcultleji of reconstruction, We have only to put these 1 elements togeincr unuer a man with the weight of Industrial statecraft.

WEAKENED CONSTITUTION Th" THIS aniendiueiit (putting prohibition h Atho Constitution) shall bo adopted It will bring about a state of things which U la several respects absolutely unptecedentcd. It will be the first Instance of a deliberate Ira posing upon the people of one State of the will of other Stales In a matter affecting th oidlnary dally life of the people of the State! It will bc tho flist Instnncu of ptohlbltlon it" need for Iho population of tiny great city ff' ' tho world: but what I hero wish particularly to dliicl attention to Is that It will dfcrft piohlbltloii in a manner essentially different from that v.h'ch has obtained even In the ' Ktiilcs and parts of States In which prohibi tion has existed. I do not ,efer to any clr- . lumst.itices concerning the effectiveness of Itl enforcement: what -1 have In mind Is tin character of the decieo Itself Iho way li vvhl. h it la rlv.t.d down. Tliete is no sub stantial analogy between un enactment put Into a Slate Coiisiltu'Jon and ono that h nnd.) pan of tho Constitution of the Unite States. In neatly a'l of our States tho Con stitution can ho change .1 hy a process thit is not much more formidable than tho passim of an oidlnary law: In none Is the process comparable In dllllculty to that of atnendicr' the Constitution of the IJnlted States. If the people or any State desire to icpeal or modify the act by which they Inserted prohibition into their State Constitution that desire has only to be made clearly manifest In order tO', bo'ju ompllshed. Hut once Imbed such a pro vision lu the Constitution of tho United States nnd It will not only be Impossible for the people of a single State to repeal or In any way modify It, but It will bo next to' Im possible for the neople of tho United States to do so. 1 l'laalTy, apatt from all eiueitlons of self government for tins States, nnd nil questions,, of personal liberty for the Individual, the hiEcrtlon of the prohibition amendment Into the Constitution of the United States would t ronttltuto a deplorable degradation of Hf character. To Introduce Into It th, decision nf a special question like that of the if control of drink, however strong tho wave of't public feeling that may seem to he behln',1 that decision, Is to lower the level andi weaken tho authority of the whole Instrus J ment. Tho Constitution has often been crltl-, elked as being too difficult of amendment! the V criticism will gain Infinitely In force If In-sV stead of being, ns Jt now Is, simply an InstrU-te1 ment for sateRU-xrung tho fundamo'itam o go eminent In n Cedcral republic, the Cn' stltutlon Is to become a recourse, for tho who. having at any given time gained the fa or of the people for some alluring prop" ganda, seelc to nmtlgamnte'thtlr special pro!-, eel with the enduring structure of tho great liittrunient which embodies the organic 1 of the tuition.
