He is an experienced broker of many years standing and expects to : specialize in Deerfleld Mr. Mitchell wishes it. to u‘ known that he does not have any partners in his real estate business, also that he is still privileged to offer for sale a number of lots in McGuire & . Orr‘s "Briarwoods," which can be delivered at present day low prices, ‘They comprise his own selection of the choicest availâ€" mble building sites in Deerfleld‘s outstanding subdivision. $3 A. J.

Mitchell of Deerâ€" field was the only broker and it is interesting to note that before the sale could be consummated it was pecessary to get some seven indiâ€" vidual owners of a subdivided five acre tract, including a bank receivâ€" er, to agree upon an unofficial diâ€" vision of delinquent special assessâ€" ments and to pay them up in full. It is perhaps not generally known that delinquent special assessments eannot be reâ€"spread and the only way to a clear title is to make payâ€" ment in full.

C., Jan. 15â€"Withâ€" out question the most important matter to come before Congress this week was the Ludlow . Resolution proposing an amendment to the Conâ€" stitution. It has raised one of the gravest and most controversial isâ€" sues of our day. ‘The Resoluion in effect provided that "except in the event of an inâ€" vasion of the United States or its territorial possessions and attack upon its citizens therein, the authorâ€" ity of Congress to déclare war shall not become éffective until confirmed by ‘a majority of votes cast in a nationâ€"wide referendum." In other words, by the terms of the Resoluâ€" tion the President and the Congress would be precluded from officially entering into a foreign conflict withâ€" out the explicit consent of the peoâ€" \ ple themselves. Illinois Representative in Congress the rapid advance in means of transâ€" portation and communication, the American mind emphasizes the philâ€" osophy of George Washington enunâ€" ciated in his farewell address when he warned against foreign intrigues and "entangling alliances." Traditionally the American people are nonâ€"militaristic. We do not have the "grandeur" of Rome or Prussia and the victories of a Napoleon to glorify and perhaps emluate. And traditionally the American people are isolationists. While a world inâ€" terd ter r.“'!m Moreover, for many years since the World War the American peoâ€" ple have seen and heard statements to the effect that our entrance into of Wall Street and armament manuâ€" facturers. Rightly or wrongly, that thought is held by many of our peoâ€" ple and they are, therefore, determâ€" ined that it will not occur again. There are many who sincerely beâ€" lieve the Ludlow Resolution is the solution, that it will afford us proâ€" tection against such occurrences. that conflict was at the instigation Unless we understang this psyâ€" chological and social forces we canâ€" not expect to understand and appreâ€" ciate the extensive interest shown by the people in the Ludlow War Resolution. That a substantial numâ€" ber of our citizens believe the measâ€" ure should at least be considered is clearly and unquestionably evidenced by the fact that the motion to deâ€" bute it on the floor of he House was defeated by the close vote of 188â€"209, There is no clearer indication of the people‘s interest in the proposal \ than the closeness of that vote, parâ€" ticularly when one considers the fact that the motion to debate the quesâ€" tion was strongly opposed by the administration leaders,. ~Even the Speaker of the House took the floor against it. Many objections have been raised to the Ludlow Resolution, and one cannot fail to recognize the practical difficulties which would result from its adoption in the form presented. It has been contended that the plan would destroy our effectiveness in RALPH E.

It is perfectly possible that the enactment of the resolution would . invite unfriendly powers to establish military and naval bases within striking distance of our shores and we would, under the terms of the measure, be able to do nothing about it except wait until we are actually invaded or bombardâ€" ed from:the air. Congressman Ludâ€" low saw the merit in this particular objection and indicated that he would offer an amendment to his resolution to meet it. No doubt if the Ludlow War Resoâ€" lution had been fully debated and had come to a vote it would have been defeated, and in all probability it would have been defeated by a larger margin than the "motion to consider." Only ten minutes debate on each side was allowed on the moâ€" tion. * But regardless of the merits of Th tur0l0dic .., " M eeercos 2 est of our people in it, I cannot but believe it should at least have been fully debated on the floor. Only by an open and frank discussion of such questions can our people learn the true facts. To believe otherwise is to lack faith in our democratic proâ€" cesses and to deny a substantial number of our citizens of the right to present their case to Congress and to the country.
