LUDLOW RESOLUTION
KILLED BY HOUSE
Washington, Jan. 10 After
condemnation by President
Koosevelt, the proposed war re
ferendum amendment to the con
stitution was shelved by the
members of the house who vot
ed against floor consideration of
the proposal today.
An announcement from Speak-!
Bankhead said the vote j
er
sgainst the referendum was 209
-to 188.
The measure was defeated a
short time after Speaker Bank
head had read a letter from the
President condemning the
amendment offered by Repre
sentative Ludlow (D-Ind.).
Ludlow's resolution would
Tiave authorized a constitutional
amendment, which three-fourths
of the states would have to ap
prove, calling for approval by
the people in a national election
before the United States could
declare war.
Before the vote, President
Hoosevelt and House leaders ap
pealed for defeat of the pro
posal. A...,r.
Such an action would "cripple
my President" in his conduct
of our foreign relations was the
"warning of the President.
The letter also indicated that
it would encourage other nations
"to believe that they could vio
late American rights with im
punity." Written in response to a re
quest from the speaker for the
President's views, the letter was
read shortly before House mem
bers were scheduled to vote on
a motion to call up a war refer
endum amendment for consid-
. eration.

Pans, Jan. 10. Manufactur

The name of the American
company, the amount paid for
manufacturing rights, and the
type of motor were not revealed,
due to Defense Minister Edou
ard Daladier's policy of keeping
formation pertaining to mili
ary equipment a secret.

GRAHAM FAVORS
REFERENDUM IN
THREAT OF WAR
President Of University
Endorses Plan For
National Vote
In a recent statement made
public through the National
Committee for the War Refer
endum, President Frank P.
Graham has endorsed the Lud
low resolution for a referendum
on all wars to be fought on for
eign soil.
This proposal is before the
House of Representatives and
strong pressure has been
brought' upon the legislators by
various peace lobbyists.
Statement
Graham's statement read:
"I favor the Ludlow referen
dum. The people who, on behalf
of their country, suffer the ago
nies of a war, pay the bills, and
do the fighting, should have the
opportunity to declare directly
whether the country should stay
at peace or go to war.
"The proposed modifications
approved by proponents amply
protect the nation against dis
advantage. Congress will not
only have power to declare war
in case of invasion but will also
have the power as suggested to
declare war in case any military
expedition gets under way
against the United States. The
example of such a popular ref
erendum on war will challenge

probation, Magill said.
It is not the policy of the

the trial.

tions in a nation-wide peace
demonstration.
In a letter to all members,
Hunter stated, "The increasing
tendency of the nations of the
world is to resort to war in
spite of all efforts for peace.
But the fact that the world is
drifting toward the rim of
abyss makes it all the more im
perative that we stiffen our re
sistance and increase our ef
forts to a more definite stand."

the committee:

System"
May Act Friday
By Chaeles Barrett
Willis Harrison, University
senior, last night placed before
the student council a letter
showing the probability of 100
per cent profit in the distribu
tion of senior commencement
invitations.
Harrison stated that, as there
has been no audit of invitation
transactions, his figures could
not be proved. However, he re
quested that the matter be given
an investigation by an "honest
student government."
Bob Magill, president of the
council, said last night that the
council "probably would take ac
tion at their meeting next Fri
day." At that time, he said, the
probability of graft would be
considered and discussion of pre
cautions would be held.
The material for Harrison's
charge was formed while he was
in the employ of an engraving
company. "I discovered there is
quite a gap in a company's
wholesale prices and what the
students pay for invitations,"
the letter read.
"There was no other alterna
tive than to believe that the
margin of profit went into the
pockets of those who purchased
