Ireland Writes Itself a Constitution
What it is hoped will be the final solution to the great Irish-British problem was reached a few days ago when President Eamon de Valera gave to the Irish Free State the text of his long-awaited new constitution.
For centuries, this struggle has been intermittently carried on punctuated by oppression on the one hand, revolution and bloodshed on the other. It has been the subject of numerous books and moving pictures, for in its movements are to be seen the drama and suffering of a nation.
The new constitution provides for a ceremonial head to be known as President of Eire, who will be no more symbolic or decorative figure, but will exercise an executive authority akin to that of the President of the United States. Valera has made provision for the creation of a Council of State, which will be similar to the British Privy Council, to aid and advise the president, and for the return to a bicameral government. In its entire sixty-three articles there is not a single reference to King George VI or the British Commonwealth of Nations.
Recognition of Ireland as a Catholic nation is especially emphasized in the article guaranteeing religious freedom. No divorce will be permitted, nor will persons who have obtained divorces in other countries be permitted to marry in Eire while the other party of the dissolved marriage is living.
During the next few months the Dail will debate this draft, and by the middle of June it will be submitted to the people. If it is accepted by a majority vote, it will be enacted 180 days after its acceptance and Eire, in the terms of its constitution, will be a "sovereign, independent, and democratic state."
Concerning the New Neutrality
With the expiration May 1 of the neutrality law, the legislative powers of the United States passed a successor which went into effect the moment the former one died.
Among the important features of the new piece, which was rushed to President Roosevelt to sign, is the "cash and carry" clause, which gives the president discretionary powers, during the next two years, to prohibit shipment of any good to warring nations until title to them has been transferred to the purchasers. Thus, if foreign countries want to purchase products from the United States—which aren't embargoed — that country will send its own boats over for the product and pay cash for the goods. In this manner credit will not be extended to the belligerent countries, who may later repudiate such debts.
Other features of the bill are the prohibiting of Americans traveling on belligerent ships and the forbidding of the arming of American vessels trading with belligerents. Such a rule will prevent the re-occurence of the Lusatania disaster. Also the legislation makes permanent the present temporary laying embargoes on munitions exports to belligerents and prohibiting loans to them. By setting up a board to deal with munitions manufacturers, the government will know to what countriesmunitions are being sent, from what sources come the munitions manufacturers' profits, and it will give Uncle Sam a check on the details of the munitions business.
And while the legislation may not keep us out of war, but at least it is a worthy attempt to do so.
Such a law as this has been in the offing since 1955. Congress has been discussing this matter for three years, and during each one has made neutrality laws of short duration. However, this legislation of 1937 is undoubtedly the most important piece to date. The legislators have given more discretionary power to Roosevelt than has ever been given him before, and the bill is truly a victory for him.
And May It Put An End to Lynching
When the Gavagan anti-lynching bill passed the house of representatives observers held little hope that it would pass the senate barrier which in previous years has defeated similar bills.
It has been the practice of the Southern bloc to carry on long filibusters against the anti-lynching advocates. At present, with the

court issue at hand, an imminent filibuster has met with the approval of those opposing the court changes. Thus the anti-lynch law becomes in the eyes of the Senate not a means of solving a serious problem and source of racial irritation but merely a convenient device for manipulating legislation.
5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries.
b. Addition to the stacks of the library.
Americans who look fearfully abreast at spine-curing horrors can no longer ignore a situation at home which is equally terroristic and brutally unheeded by any law enforcement. Only the impersonal, thorough-going swat cut by Federal men can possibly eradicate the Southern practice of lynching.
The public demanded action upon the kid-napping menace, and it is action that must be taken against lynching, not the piffling, side-stepping filibuster technique with which the Gavagan bill will be killed in the senate.
Campus Opinion
From a Bloated Plutocrat Editor Daily Konsan:
Mr. Jennings should be commended for his proposal for the working students in the Union building next year. Yes, but by whom? We know your plan is working with us and you are cutting students in the Union building? As we interpret the proposal, it is planned for the purpose of cutting students in the Union building; are there other sources here on the campus and in the Union building where you might apply your economies. Mr. Jennings. We suggest you carry your plan with you to the university where you certainly increase business at the cafeteria. Then go further still by including all students who are working for the state and University. Why discriminate against them? Because they are working in the Union building? Over 75 per cent of the students working here now eat in the cafeteria—the other 25 per cent must eat there also. At a price. Nice going.
Which all boils down to this: we think it's a dirty gg. Just because students work for their board at school, but they also do homework and do likewise. That’s swell. Therefore we must remind you of your pet remark about students here on the campus. You are all blotted plutocrats. Yes, at $2 per month. You are not
