WASHINGTON AND
SMALL BUSINESS
By C. WILSON HARDER
A 79% majority of the na-
tion's independent business pro-
prietors, voting through the Na-
tional Federation of Indepen-
dent Business, favor the meas-
ure introduced by Rep. Bruce
Alger of Texas which amends
the U.S. Constitution to pro-
vide no treaty or international
a g reement
shall affect
the rights of
U. S. citizens
unless a p-
proved by the
Senate.
• * •
It is well to
consider the
background
leading to
this proposal. C. W. Harder
In the Constitution there is a
proviso that any foreign treaty
over rides any national, state,
or local law which may in con-
flict with the terms of the
treaty. Of course, as originally
written, all treaties and agree-
ments had to be ratified by the
Senate. Until the end of World
War II, this constitutional pre-
vision did not mean mnch, as
all foreign treaties were ap-
proved by the Senate, and all
were entered into with the best
interests of Americans upper-
most.

But formation of the United
Nations changed all this. While
to the public at large, UN was
sold as a forum for all nations
to discuss openly their differ-
ences and seek a peaceful solu-
tion, the ‘'one worlders” really
expanded the scope of the or-
ganization. Actually UN is
working toward all peoples con-
trolled by one big world gov-
ernment.
• * •
Largely due to dissensions
within the UN, the full impact
of this control has not been
manifest. But there are divi-
of individual life, such as the
International Labor Organiza-
tion, the FOA to control the
world’s food supply, and
UNESCO set up to prescribe
what school children in all na-
tions are to be taught.
• 00
In these various divisions the
people of the United States are
represented by functionaries of
the State Dept., and due to
machinations behind the
scenes, they do have the auth-
ority to commit the people to
many courses without the con-
sent of the Congress.
* * *
Further complicating the sit-
uation is UN admission with
foil voting powers of the msny
new nations in Africa and else-
where with no previous back-
ground showing they are ma-
ture enough to vote in a world
body. Thus, msny things could
happen to destroy the rights of
the American citizen.
* * *
As an obviously extreme ex-
ample, the new African nations
could conceivably get the UN to
vote that all traffic police in all
the world must speak Swahili.
This would mean that every
U.S. town would have to make
sure its traffic officers spoke
this African dialect.
• * *
Of course, the threat could
be removed by disbanding the
UN and starting n new world
organisation with its scope con-
fined to the activities for which
the majority ef Americans
thought the UN was set up for
in the first place. Bnt tiifa could
result In no organisation pro-
viding for free discussion. It
is much better to keep nations
talking together. Thus passage
of the measure proposed by
Bep. Alger would protect
American citizens from present
constant hazard of losing liber-
ty on decisions of a coalition of
sions within the UN which are _______
