The all-day session featured panel discussions on the themes "Labor Relations, Under the Taft-Hartley Act," the "Cost of Living--Cause and Cure," and "One World or None." Biddle.

who served as American judge at the Allied War Crime Tribunal, lauded the Truman trine and the European Recovery Program on the grounds the help they will bring in reconstructing war-weakened countries "will tend to weaken existing governments." "With the world today in the gnp of a Russian threat, a balance of power must be built up," he said. "The KRP," he continued, "is an attempt to balance in an economic way the power built up in Central Europe by Russia." He urged sweeping constitutional changes in the functional structure of our government to fit it for its new role in the world. Some of the suggestions were abolition of the filibuster and the two-thirds Senate ratification of treaties, which he said "breeds jealousy on the part of the House of and scheduling Congressional elections every four years to coincide with the Presidential balloting "This," he pointed out, "would bring about a House of Representatives which will reflect national thinking."

He urged a constitutional text of the secondary boycott ban contained to the Taft-Hartley Law Smith blamed "newly guaranteed rights to employers" for the slowdown in new labor union organization. "Riese provisions, he pointed out, have resulted to victory for new union groups to fewer than 50 percent of recent collective bargaining elections conducted under the new laws "The Civil rights of union members are being jeopardized by the act," he declared.

Proposed Plans You have been reading of proposed plans for having Congress appropriate money for colleges, or for students directly, in the form of scholarships. This would certainjy ents were more thrifty. During recent years, relatively few parents and still fewer of their children have been saving for the future, choosing rather to enjoy luxuries.

At a time, when in order to guarantee to deserving children college education far more will have to be saved than in pre-war days, there appears to be relatively less thrift practiced in the average home. Let me entreat young parents to discipline themselves and their children now in thrift, not only to ensure the child the best possible education but for a still better reason, to build moral character in him.
