‘ I“; to Public
«3311301290111 Comm. Jan. 22.—
R..E. L. Saner, of Dallas. Tex-
.’ Ii. President of the American Bar
flociation and also Chairman of its
dnmlttco on American Citizenship.
dflivered a notable address here yes-
. “(day before the meeting of the
‘Ofinnecticut State Bar Association.
President Saner's subject was "The
Hwyer and the State." He made a
ong plea. for activity in civic du-
ties on the part of members of the
Der. He spoke in part as follows:
.“Public duty in this country is. of
fiurse, inherent for every citizen.
and it is peculiarly incumbent on
the lawyer. It is his very business
a“ see that the law is observed and
enforced. We are proud to pro—
élaim the slogan formulated first in
the Constitution of Massachusetts
seven years prior to the adoption of
our Federal Constitution.'that this
it "A Government of Laws and not
of Men." We want our liberties
preserved only through liberty un-
der the law. This was the para-
mount idea. of the founders of our
Government. These men stood for
liberty under the law.
The People and the Law.
“They had tossed long upon a
,wintry sea; their minds were full of
images derived from their voyage;
they knew that the will of the peo-
ple alone is but a. gale smiting s.
rudderiess and sailless ship. and
hurling it. a. mass of wreck, upon the
rocks. But the will of the people.
subject to law, is the same gale fill-
: the trim canvas of a ship that
inds the helm. bearing it over
yawning and awful abysses of ocean
safely to port. And it is the plain
duty of the American lawyer in this
day and time to sound this note of
liberty ursler the law in the ears of
our citizens and to keep it sound-
ing. The inscription memoriallzing
the immortal three hundred who fell
at Thermopylao bears the words.
“They lie here obedient to their
Laws." Great crises arise from
time to time in America that fur-
nish other Thermopylaes. when our
lawyers must stand at the Pass and
fight "obedient to their laws.’
"I urge upon lawyers as a class
that they are failing in their politi-
cal duties when they allow others
to assume leadership in lines where
the lawyer is peculiarly fitted to
lead. Time was when the lawyer
was generally recognized as a. civic
leader in his particular community
or state. Ills very profession quali-
fies him to inform the public regard.
ing the principles of our government
and the application of those princi.
pics to present-day problems. We
must today as never before in our
history make sure for ourselves and
for all of our citizens that we cling
to the fundamentals. to the princi-
ples and the practices which tho
enabled us to build so successfully.
and thus avoid the errors which
tend to impair our vigor and becloud
our future.
5 “We must let the public know. for
example, that so~called pure democ-
racy in America is utterly impractic~
able and that attempts to attain this
condition have not only been is-
mentable failures. but are contrary
to the genius of our representative
Jot-m of government. We must
make the people realise that while
we must stand irrevocably for the
preservation of our Bill of Rights.
the people as a whole must show
themselves worthy of individual lib-
erty: that freedom of speech. for
example, is for those who know the
speech of freedom; that when peo-
ple lull: about our needing a new
Constitution we should rather coun-
sel- them not to do anything rash
until we rbally thoroughly try out
,the old one; and in view of the
threatening advance of Federal Pat-
mslism and Bureaucracy. that the
proper Constitutional functioning of
the Federal and State government is
no less a vital issue today than it

. ii War.

[FORD COMPANY
. SEES INCREASE
. IN CAR DEMAND
Starts_ “Buy Now”
Calflpalgn— M a n y
Failed to Get Cars
Last Year
Important among other indications
that the New Year will see a vastly
increased demand for automobiles is
the "Buy Now" campaign which has
just been launched by the Ford Mo-
tor Company.
Particular significance may be at-
tached to this. coming as it does. at
the very start of the year. for no
company in the industry is better
situated to sense future conditions
in the motor car field nor keep more
closely in touch With the temper of
the motor buying public.
Through its great dealer organi¥
nation, approximately 10.000. the
company is able to obtain accurate
reports coverirl all parts of the
country. That the outlook indicates
a greater demand than over during
the coming year -seems apparent in
the action of inaugurating a “Buy
New" campaign.
A year_ ago a shortage was seen
and the public advisedobut the de-
mand which developed during the
spring and early summer months
exceeded all expectations with the
result that production failed to meet
it and more than 350.000
were disappointed in not being able
to get Ford cars. Practically all
through the year it was necessary
to maintain a constantly increasing
production scheiule to keep up more
closely with t e demand. Even
with that deliveries were extremely
slow '
In view of the company's experi-
ence last year the “Buy Now” cam~
paigu Just starting comes as a warné
ing suggestion to the car buyer and
reflects a. condition which presages
an even. greater car shortage during
the coming spring and summer.
There has been an unusual de-
mand for Ford cars and trucks-so
far this winter. In some cases deal-
ers already are compelled to desig-
pate later delivery dates on. certain
types of cars. '
In this connection an interesting
feature is the already noticeable in?
crease in enrollments under the
Ford Weekly Purchase Plan. More
than 200.000 have enrolled. for ev-
erywhere. throughout the country
people are more and‘moré the
“plan as a sure means of amusing
ear delivery at the time desired and
as a. result there has been a notice-
able growth in the number of enroll-
ments particularly duglng the last
:few months.

H. North. The plans will not only
include modern store fronts but
there are to lm many changes in
the hotel which will improve not
only the apearance of the building
but of the business center as well.
One or the most notable of the
changes which Mr. Goodwin has
under consideration will be an ex-
cupied by the Copyright Clothing
company. where. there is at pres-
ent a. hall leading into the hotel. It
is planned to break through the par—
feet from
conrpany store, giving both stores
frontage of very nearly equal width.
Just as soon as Mr. Goodwin has
said,
tire attention. Although his
are‘ns yl-t of a. tentative nature, it
is his intention to remove the town:
for many years a familiar sight to
thousands.
The interior of the hotel will be
entirely renovated, but to what ox-
nounce at this time.
