Glenn. former United States Senator front Illinois, was guest speaker at the bimont.hly meeting of Wilmette League for Diefense of Con- stitutional Government, lheld Mondav evening in the Stolp school auditor- ium. W. L. Harding. former govrer- nor of Iowa, had been announced as speaker, but a serious lieart attack conflned him in a hospital at Craw- fordsville. Ind., where lie is now in a a critical. condition. Mr. Glennt verv generously consented to fill the en- gagement for Mr. Harding. In his address Mr. Glenn reviewed the events leading up to the adoption of the constitution, saying that it was flot a peace-time. prosperity in- strument, but rather a. depression measure, conceived in adversity and intended to prtct the liberties of the people from a centralized, bureau- cratic government. In language that brouglit rouund af- ter round of applause from liii audi- ence, lie discussed the present trends in government, tlie increasing rule of btireaucrats, the placing of more and more power in the hands of the execu- tive, and warned that a continuance of iat policy would inevitably result in a curtailment of individual freedomn and seriously threaten individual ip- itiative, if, indeed,,.it does not totally destroy Anierican i principles 'of free, government. In vigorous fashion lie assailed the contradictory policies of the New Deal, sliowing that they impede eco- nomic recovery and tend to prolong unemploymient. Especially caustic were lis references to the attitude of the national administration toward alien radicals who are continually stirring up strife in1 labor circles and seeking to overthrow the Americani republican, formi of go'vernment in or- der to substitute a formi of govern-ý ment entirely foreigu to American ideas. and ideals.- "It doesn't mhake mudli difference. to you and IV" the s peaker said, "whether' thé president is a democrat or a republica'gn, so long as lis administration, governs accord- ing to the. constitution." Th'le meeting drew a . 1. rge- and enthusiastic crowd. The next meeting of the league will lie on Oct:ber 15. when; another nationally knlown speaker will be presented. Mrs. LodWillis, 326.
