CONSTITUTION OF U.S.A.
PEOPLE'S VOICE ON AMENDMENTS
WASHINGTON, February 1.
Replying to reports that President Roosevelt intends to submit to Congress a statute embodying alterations to the Constitution, Mrs. W. E. Borah, in a radio speech, demanded that the Administration appeal directly to the people. Strong central powers were needed to carry out the programme instead of tampering with the courts or by some other method. Mrs. Borah urged the Government to submit a constitutional amendment and let the people decide. She asserted that only the people had a right to settle a dispute between the judicial and legislative executive branches of the Government.
