serve the activities that are strictly
and fairly educational and informa
tional. There is need for the govern
ment to possess the means of giving
the people the facts and it is not de
sirable for the people to have to de
pend upon a small group of press
and radio news agencies for infor
mation about their government.
We really see no reason wily the
C'or.gress cannot make some provis
ion for the fair and impartial presen
tation and distribution of salient
fa-ts in connection with government
al policies. The idea behind such a
service should not be to persuade,
but to inform, and the net result
should be to give to the public the
facts upon which intelligent opinions
can be formulated.
To 1'ropone 4-Year House Term
To Avoid Legislative Deadlock
Senator Carl A. Hatch, of New
Mpvico nl. ins to introduce a consti
tutional amendment which will set
the terms of members of the House
of Representatives at four years
each, instead of two, and thus open
the way for House members to be
elected when the President is elect
ed, insuring, to some degree, that the
House and the President would be
long to the same political party.
The purpose of the amendment is
to avoid situations like those result
ing from midterm elections when, as
now, the complexion of Congress is
changed.
In 19 1 8, when the House went Re
publican, President Wilson ' lost con
trol and there was something of a
legislative deadlock. The same thing
happened in 19.'10, when the Demo
crats captured the House and Presi
dent Hoover, was left without com
plete legislative support as the i-jr-omic
crisis developed.
There is much to be said for the
proposal of Senator Hatch but there
is, nevertheless, something to be said
in opposition. The entire theory of
the American Government is based
upon a system of checks and balances.
One of these instruments is the dif
ference in the election of members
to the Houst and to the Senate.
One-Sided IWsarmament Will
Senator Elbert D. Thomas, of I'tah.
chairman of the Senate Military Af
fairs Committee, warns that one-sided
disarmament will fail in the fu
ture, as in the past, to produce either
peace or security.
