The small check that I enclose (would that I could add indefinite figures to it) is only to give me the privilege of being numbered among the many well-wishers of Cornell." The January issue of The Cornell Laiυ Quarterly contains an article entitled " I s There an Eighteenth Amendment?" by Justin DuPratt White '90, a Trustee of the Universtiy and senior partner of the firm of White & Case of New York City. This article has already been widely commented upon, and it is interesting to note that articles on the same subject appeared in the Harvard and Michigan Law Beviews shortly after the publication of Mr.' White's article. Mr. White passes over all other objections to the validity of the Prohibition Amendment and places his attack squarely on the ground that an amendment of such a character as theone under consideration could be valid only if ratified on behalf of the people of all of theStates. This attack has nothing to do witlj. prohibition itself. Mr. White contends for the principle that nothing may be the subject of an amendment which is of a class that could lead to the destruction of either the United States or the States. As has been stated by the Supreme Court of the United States, " T h e Constitution in all of its parts looks to an indestructible nation composed of indestructible States."

A vital question is, may so much of the police power as is necessary to prohibition legislation be transferred from the States to the Federal Government by constitutional amendment, or may it be transferred by each State to the Federal Government only by the consent of the people of that State? and it will be regrettable if the broader problem is cast into the shade bythe feelings which have been engendered on the one side and the other by the fight for nation-wide prohibition.

Most governments may be substantially destroyed as separate sovereignties. Mr. White carefully analyzes the first seventeen amendments and finds no difficulty in any of them except the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, andFifteenth. As to those he asserts that their sole reason for being was to confirm the freedom of the African race in this country. This object he thinks was merely in line with the theory of our Eepublican institutions., as incorporated in the Federal Constitution, and that those three amendments, therefore, are merely in the nature of an affirmance of that Constitution andnot a departure from thetheory of government established by it. Furthermore, he suggests that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments merely put into the form '' Because. Russia,3' he asked, ί' with the worst government in the world, has become a political madhouse, is that any reason why America, with the best Government in the world, should do likewise f If the Bolsheviki are ruling Russia by force and murder, let America,' now as heretofore, govern herself by free discussion and enlightened public opinion and the deliberate vote of the majority. Ourlaws must of course be enforced, and sedition rigorously put down.

Printed by The Ithacan Entered as Second Class Matter at Ithaca, N.Y. Ithaca, N. Y., February 5,, 1920 A VALUABLE DIVIDEND The Endowment Fund Campaign would be well worth all it costs, both to the givers and to the University, on grounds of sentiment alone. "When a man invests his money in an enterprise, he is apt to watch it, and to become more interested in it. Cornell represents a great investment which is sure to pay certain, if intangible, dividends. And these general dividends of increased intelligence, it has been demonstrated, will in turn produce the tangible dividends of better ways of living, labor-saving machinery, the saving of life and the diminution of disease, and a hundred other benefits to humanity. And the givers will be better for their giving. But the campaign is a necessity on business grounds alone. I t is not merely that by education we hope to obtain the benefit noted above; the great fear is setting down upon us that from a lack of educational facilities the world may lapse into ignorance, a state in which erime, superstition, war,- and pestilence freely breed. Tϊiis is no idle fancy. Today hundreds of thousands of teacherships are vacant all over America because the former incumbents could not live on their wretched salaries. Of the teachers who have stuck to their posts, many are incompetent, and unless conditions change the future is likely to see incompetency and inefficiency increase rather than diminish. Cornell forms no exception in this matter. Some men are leaving to go into business. Others are going into business here on part time. Others are writing pot-boilers. The only remedy is more funds for the adequate remuneration of the teaching staff, who will be more than glad to give themselves unreservedly to the work of education if and as soon as they are enabled to do so by a proper salary. When salaries are wjiat they should be, Cornell will once more become an intellectual center in the best and fullest sense. The men are still here, we believe, and more will be forthcoming from our best undergraduates. As we have remarked on a former occasion, the world has lately seen what ignorance. marshaled by a kaiser can do in the world. Is it not time for an exhibition of what education under the leadership of an enlightened and energetic group of scholars can do for humanity 1 Let us then buckle down with a will and put the ball over speedily. Give thai what you have left may be more secure and may more certainly yield you its rightful values. A JOB FOR COLLEGE MEN It appears that the war .is not yet over. Germany has been defeated from a military point of view, it is true, but has not yet in her own mind been convicted of sin. Her heart is as black as ever. She still dreams of world -domination. As Dr. Maurice Bgan says, "Russia will recover from its recent chaotic condition and by that time the Germans hope to have made the old Muscovite empire into a Teutonic province. If they succeed in doing that they will have realized just one-half of their dream of world-domination.}' The world will no more tolerate the commercial tyranny of unregenerate Germany than it would have tolerated the autocratic rule of Potsdam. And the Germans must be made to realize this. How shall it be done? By counter- propaganda. Here is the task of the intellectual element of the Allied countries. The university men of these countries should organize for this work and their Governments should provide plenty of funds for the purpose, charging it up to insurance. Team-work will count. The most insidious foe of the world to-day is radicalism and all that goes with it. Radicalism, for example, is eating the heart out of Russia and Czechoslovakia, and presently these countries will fall an easy prey to German rapacity. The propaganda work that is needed, then, must take two forms: First, an exposure of the utter hollowness, folly, and immorality of the radical program; secondly, a clear statement of the principles of fair play which the Allies propose to enforce throughout the world, both as to the development of the weaker nations and as to trade and commerce. The honest trader demands only a fair field. He must have it. There is a great deal more that must be done; this is only a starter. The Central Powers are spiritually bankrupt. Through the effective dissemination of the right sort of literature they must be spiritually regenerated. Obviously we mean 'this is no narrow sense. What we do mean may perhaps be best expressed by saying that they must be brought to see that the square deal is the only way. Here is work cut out for our college and university men for years to come. It is the supreme need of to-day. The Allied countries are admittedly imperfect, as the events of the last few months would force anyone to admit. But they have not lost or abandoned their ideals. And the Russian and the Bolshevist must be led—or driven—to recognize the potency of those ideals. LAWYERS NEEDED The U. S. Civil Service Commission announces a competitive examination On March 3-4 for examiner for the Interstate Commerce Commission at a salary of $3,000 to $5,000 a year, the amount depending on the qualifications of the appointee. Appointees will be employed principally in the hearing of cases involving the rates and practices of common carriers subject to the Interstate Commerce Act and preparing reports therein. Applicants must be at least high school graduates, have been admitted to the bar, and have had two years' experience in legal CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS 223 work, or have had three years7 experience as a member of a public service commission or in some other responsible legal or traffic position. Applicants should at once apply for Form 1312, stating the title of the examination desired, to the Civil Service Commission, "Washington, D. C.
