To Hold ‘Annual Open House Friday, Apr. 12 Deerfield School Board Meets Monday THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1940 will be held on Monâ€" year Washington, D.C., March 30â€"The focus of the debate in the United States Senate on the bill to extend the Reciprocal Trade Agreement program has been on constitutional questions rather than on the actual terms of the trade agreements made by the President and the State Deâ€" partment. The question at issue has thus far been, not whether the Presâ€" ident and the Secretary of State have abused the power delegated under the terms of the Act, but whether Congress has the right unâ€" der the Constitution to delegate the power in the first instance. Senator Key Pittman, (D), of Nevada, chairman of the Senate Foreign. Relations committee, ofâ€" fered an amendment to the bill to provide that no foreignâ€"trade agreeâ€" ment shall take effect until it has been ratified by twoâ€"thirds of the Senate. The fact that this amendâ€" ment is being sponsored by the chairman of the committee which handles treaties and legislation reâ€" lating to foreign governments has enhanced its prospects of adoption by the Senate. At this writing it is reported that the proposed amendâ€" ment will be adopted or rejected by the close margin of 3 or 4 votes. The verbal fight is being waged to ‘corrnl these few uncommitted Senâ€" ators. Senator Pittman points to two specific provisions of the Constituâ€" tion. Section 2 of Article 2 proâ€" vides: ‘"The President shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided twoâ€"thirds of the Senators present concur." And in Article 6 it is further provided that â€""All treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land." By Ralph E. Church Representative, 10th Congressional District When the roll is called, it may be that Vice President John Garner will have to cast the deciding vote. Such a development will emphasize the position he takes on the issue and is certain to give rise to politiâ€" cal repercussions. The Vice Presiâ€" dent is one of the main candidates for the Democratic Presidentigl nomination. Pointing to these two provisions of the Constitution, the chairman of the Foreign Relations committee contends that the President does not require any authority from Conâ€" gress to make treaties. The Conâ€" stitution gives him that authority, and so there is no question of the delegation of power on that point. But Senator Pittman goes on to say that it is not within the power of Congress to attempt to repeal a proâ€" vision of the Constitution which provides that the Senate must ratify the treaties made by the President before they become effective. I do not believe there is any doubt as to the merit of that argument. Certainly, Congress has not the power to repeal a provision of the Constitution that requires Senate ratification before any treaty can become ‘"the supreme law of the land." But the question arises as to whether the "trade agreements" are to be classed as "treaties." On that question, it seems to me, the whole argument on the amendment proposed by the Senator from Neâ€" vada, Mr. Pittman, must turn. Senator Pittman immediately seized Senator Vanderberg‘s contriâ€" bution to the argument by emphasizâ€" ing the fact that it is not possible to repeal a treaty except by another treaty. If, therefore, a trade agreeâ€" ment incorporates a provision for the repeal of a treaty, ratified by the Senate, then it would appear that the trade agreement is to be classed as a treaty and should be At that point Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, (R), of Michigan, rose to assist the Senator from Nevada in his argument. He read to the Senate one sentence from Article II of the trade agreement with Columâ€" bia, made on May 20, 1936. It was as follows: "As long as the presâ€" ent agreement remains in effect it shall supersede any provisions of the Treaty of Peace, Amity, Naviâ€" gation and Commerce between the United States and the Republic of New Granada, signed at Bogota, The Senate has spent practically an entire week discussing this phase of the Trade Agreement program.

The choice for this occasion is "Fresh Fields," by Ivor Novello, a rollicking comedy which will tempt even the most digâ€" nified members of the audience to take a discreet roll in the aisle. The plot treats of what happens when a crude family of Australians bring their young, awkward daughâ€" ter to England to be presented at court. They are taken under the wing of an extremely aristocratic English family, and the comedy sitâ€" uation developing from the clash beâ€" tween these two totally different groups can well be imagined.
