' Court Blunder

Roosevelt Has Only
Self to Blame for
*. Boomerang.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
THE Supreme Court of the United
States is safe from political
sabotage. The tribunal which
the whole civilized world has
learned to revere stands unharmed
after live months of the most violent
attack that ever was visited upon it
In the 150 years of its existence.
It is a victory for public opinion.
^ It is a victory also for the statesman
ship of indepen
dent Democrats
who led the fight,
risking political
reprisals from the
Roosevelt admin
( Utration, and for
n e Republican
group which had
the good sense not
topermit the
Issue to become
political or par
tisan.

was the most
damaging defeat that President Roose
velt has suffered in his public career.
It was, moreover, an entirely unneces
sary and uncalled for blow to his
prestige, because it was inflicted only
by himself.
As the record is closed on a most
dramatic chapter in the President’s
% experiences with Congress, the ques
-tion will be asked again and again
why Mr. Roosevelt took the risk he did
and where his political judgment,
hitherto extolled, happened to be when
he failed to take advantage of oppor
tunity after opportunity to avoid a
crushing defeat.
Sentiment Quickly Apparent
On February 5 when the Presi
dent took his own party leadership
and the whole Nation by surprise with
his message bitterly attacking the
Supreme Court and proposing that it
be packed with six additional justices
most everybody hereabouts recognized
that a mistake had been made. I looked
up the dispatch which I wrote for
February 8 and find this comment:
“Had President Roosevelt laid in
advance before leaders of both houses
•" of Congress his proposal to increase
the size of the Supreme Court, most
of them would have advised against it.
Now, torn between political loyalty
and convictions, those leaders find it
embarrassing to oppose the measure.
It is an example of a lack of that co
operation with the members of one's
party in the legislative branch of the
Government which might have avoided
perhaps the m06t colossal blunder of
the Roosevelt regime. Indeed, unless
the proposal Is withdrawn, It may start
the movement that will break up the
Democratic party and produce em
barrassment for the rest of the Presi
dent's second term.”
i no ioregomg was a renecuon oi
the feeling and sentiment on Capitol
Hill within 48 hour* after the court
plan was launched. Mr. Roosevelt
may have been doubtful about con
gressional sentiment that day but in
the weeks that followed he could never
have been in doubt. It turns out that
even his intimate friends and support
ers like Gov. Lehman told him long
ago he was on the wrong track. Vice
President Gamer told him. Senator
Robinson unquestionably reported ac
curately the sentiment among mem
bers of the Democratic party. Cer
tainly close friends like Senators
O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Wheeler
of Montana didn't mince words, and
it is reported that Chairman Sum
ners of the House Judiciary Commit
tee and Speaker Bankhead, too, spoke
, out frankly to the President.
How Was Opinion Reached?
But Mr. Roosevelt wouldn’t budge.
Why? Is it possible that he set up
his own Judgment as better than the
opinion of all the veterans in Con
gress, believing that the “yes men”
in his cabinet and the ambitious lesser
► lights in official circles knew more
about it than the others? Or did Mr.
Roosevelt, fresh from the applause of
South American capitals and with the
cheers of huge demonstrations on the
streets of the big cities during the last
campaign still ringing in his ears,
imagine that he was a better judge
of public opinion than anybody else
in the country?
There were dozens of opportunities
for real compromise, for graceful re
treat, even for the attainment of the
larger objectives. But Mr. Roosevelt
stubbornly refused them all. Thus
at any time within the last live months
both houses of Congress would have
■ voted by a two-thirds vote a consti
tutional amendment compelling re
tirement of Supreme Court Justices at
75 years of age. It might possibly have
even approved of a 6-3 vote being re
quired for holding unconstitutional
an act of Congress or of the State
Legislatures, though this proposal
would have been much more contro
versial.
niunaer i>oi or urainary Kind.
In other words, the big objective of
dealing with the alleged tenacity of
justices of advanced age would have
been reached by proposals to amend
the Constitution. But the President
was deaf to all auch pleas. The blun
» der is not of the ordinary kind. It is
not easily repaired. The President’s
prestige has not only been impaired
but grave doubts have arisen as to
the true purposes of Mr. Roosevelt
with respect to other legislation which
plainly seeks to centralize more power
In Washington and a great deal more
in the hands of the Chief Executive.
The proposed reorganization of
Federal executive departments, which
in the main is a splendid thing will
now be subjected to more scrutiny
than before and it is doubtful whether
the scheme to ruin the quasi-judicial
commissions will ever get through or
the plan to eliminate the severe audit
of expenses which the Comptroller
General has heretofore exercised on
behalf of Cqpgress.
The pendulum will continue to
swing away from the President un
less he recognizes that the country
is not as radical or aa sympathetic to
reckless legislative proposals from
the “brain trust" as he has been.
Congress is anxious to adjourn. The
wages and hours bill is probably dead
for the session and so also are va
rious other schemes and plans, some
of which had some worth-while points
in them, but which must now be lost
in the legislative jam because a Pres
ident of the United States thought
one-man government was as appli
cable in America as it seems to be
abroad.
The greatest result of the fight is
the effect on Congress itself. The
rubber stamp has been taken from
the backs of a large majority of the
members. There Is, indeed, a new
majority in the Senate and perhaps
also In the House. Per the country
rose to the occasion and {old Con
gress that to tamper with the Supreme
Court was to break down constitu
tional government and on that issue
there could be no compromise. The
citizens who gave of their time and
energy to the battie will for the most
part go unheralded and unsung, but
they have the satisfaction of know
ing that they helped on the 150th an
niversary of the Constitution to save
that Instrument from the worst ex
ample of attempted usurpation of
power that has been recorded In the
whole history of the American Re
public.

What’s Back of It All
Garner Agreed to Broach 11-Man Court Plan With
Associates for Circuits.
BY H. It. BAUKHAGE.
HEN Vice President Garner took off his coat and went to work at
his repair Job on the administration’s senatorial machinery, he
made it plain that he wasn't signing up for an all-Sumraer job.
The first thing he did was to state his views privately to
the effect that. If he had his way. he’d close up shop and let everybody
go home and tell the folks how prosperous they had become under the
New Deal.
He agreed, however, after an intimate conference with administration
leaders, to attempt one chore first.
It was to try to push through a plan which he had suggested
and which the administration liked anyway, according to those who
are in a position to speak with assurance on the administration’s
preferences. But, for a very delicate reason, it had not been feasible
to insist on this particular proposal while Senator Robinson was alive.
The plan, it can be authoritatively stated, was a bill the Vice Presi
dent felt might be jammed through
the Senate with immediate ad
journment thereafter (or at least
a recess) as the price.
It would create an 11-man
court, an associate justice for each
of the 10 judicial circuits, with the
Chief Justice over all.
A constitutional amendment
would then be offered setting the
retirement age of the Justices at 70.
* * * *
This is the point that worried Mr. Robinson's friends:
It was considered probable that an effort would be made to provide
that all appointments to the supreme bench thereafter be regional. The
candidate would have to come from the geographical area within the
circuit made vacant. That would have eliminated Senator Robinson.
Associate Justice Butler presides over the eighth circuit, which includes
not only his native State of Minnesota but Arkansas as well.
State Department Representative Leo Sturgeon, now in Alaska with
the Bureau of Fisheries expedition, Is about ready to pick a bone with the
Japanese. A fish bone.
Mr. Sturgeon has just made a flight over Japanese fishing boats
licensed for crabbing in Alaskan waters. The report of what he saw
hasn't reached Washington, but If it supports th«v evidence taken by some
of his co-workers in a previous flight it may force the Japanese to switch
from their salmon diet and take to eating some of their official statements.
Alaskans have contended for a long time that Japanese were
by way of ruining their salmon industry. The Navy was interested
in reports that the Japanese "fishermen" were doing some surveying
in American waters.
The State Department asked Tokio about the salmon as long as three
years ago, .and Tokio said there couldn’t be any salmon fishing because no
salmon fishing licenses had been Issued.
The Alaskans persisted, said there ought to be a law. Two were drawn
up which keep Japanese sal non fishers out of most of the Bering Sea.
But the court fight has held up action on them: and, besides, the State De
partment wanted to await Mr. Sturgeon's reports.
Meanwhile, the department is getting some Interesting information
from other sources.
Since Americans have consistently been refused permission to board
Japanese boats in Alaskan waters, five “men of integrity" decided to take to
the air. What they saw in a half hour's survey of the Japanese boats, and
the pictures they are sending to Washington, may be the basis for a Job
for the diplomats as well as legislators.
It was estimated by the fliers that some 20,000 salmon were piled on
the decks of four Japanese ships.
Then came an even more disturbing message.
An official not connected with
the Bureau of Fisheries expedition
reports passing 26 “fishing boats."
the floating cannery type as well as
large trawlers 100 feet long such as
are used in the North Sea and the
type which was used as mine
layers during the World War. Other
trawlers were spreading a mile
wide trawl which scoops the ocean
floor not only of flsh but of flsh
food as well.
There is a hint which he who runs may read in the records of the •
Congressional Library.
By noon on the day the Robinson funeral train returned, from
Little Rock and the conciliators were busy at their job on the court
bill, 32 calls for a certain book had been made.
The tome contained the platform on which Senator Wheeler (leader
of the opponents) ran for Vice President In the presidential campaign of the
elder La Follette.
One plank provided for an amendment to the Constitution which
would give Congress similar powers over a Supreme Court decision which
it has over a presidential veto.

Back to Horse Trading
Hull Abandons Policy Based on Everlasting "Sanctity
of Treaties,” Writer Says.
BY JAY FRANKLIN.
SECRETARY OF STATE HULL'S
statement on the latest devel
opment, in the informal state
of war which has existed be
tween Japan and China for the last
five and a half years deserves to be
studied carefully in Berlin, Rome,
Moscow, Paris and London, as well as
in the Far East.
In this Important state paper he
removes the United States from the
locked ranks of the "haves" and aban
dons the tedious legalism of a foreign
policy based on the everlasting "sanc
tity of treaties.” Here is the key para
graph:
"Upholding the principle of the
sanctity of treaties, we believe in modi
fication of provisions of treaties, when
need therefor arises, by orderly pro
cesses carried out in a spirit of mutual
helpfulness and accommodation.”
Back to horse-trading and away
from that dismal "Stimson doctrine”
which strait-jacketed us never to rec
ognize international changes brought
about by force! Back to common
sense and away from our picayune
effort to preserve by paper alone "the
terrtorlal and administrative entity
of China"—and other fictions.
Diplomatic Chapter Ends.
Thus ends a truly dreadful chapter
in American diplomacy. At the time
of the "Battle of Concessions" in
China, toward the turn of the cen
tury, John Hay advanced the theory
of the open door in deference to Brit
ish wishes. We took part in sup
pressing the Boxer Rebellion and
Theodore Roosevelt made us a silent
partner in the Anglo-Japancse alli
ance which encouraged Japan to de
feat Russia in 1904-5.
The result was 35 years of futile
effort to save China, the sick man
of Asia, much as England had tried
to save Turkey, the sick man of
Europe. Both policies were matters
of convenience rather than principle,
and in the case of China it was re
markable that our program worked
to the greater advantage of British
trade, while all the world knows what
happened to our oil interests when
the British finally cracked the O. to
man Empire.
After the World War another prob
lem confronted us—the desire of
France and England, victors of the
peace conference, to make us under
write the status quo of the treaty
of Versailles. The Senate refused to
take us into the League of Nations
and Secretary Kellogg diluted Bri
and's proposal for a special peace pact
between France and America into
the general pact for the outlawry of
war.
Japan Launched Offemive.
Then came 1931, when England
abandoned the gold standard and
Japan launched her great offensive
in Asia. The nln?-power treaty of
1922, by which our •'interest*” in the
Pacific and Far East were codified,
the League of Nations covenant, and
the Kellogg-Brland pact popped like
firecrackers. Hoover's Secretary of
State, Mr. Henry Stimson, an emi
nent New York attorney, scampered
dutifully out to the end of the legal
limb and tried to halt Japan in the
name of the sanctity of treaties.
We were left holding the bag. The
League powers lacked the will or abil
ity to restrain Japan. The nine-power
treaty (in the name,bf which we had
limited our Navy) was a broken reed.
The Kellogg-Briand peace pact lacked
even milk teeth, and our State De
partment was reduced to the stuffed
shirt statement that we would "never”
recognize such unlawful changes.
The world changed Just the same.
Italy took Ethiopia in the face of the
League of Nations and the entire
British Empire.
Filibustering Spanish Raid.
The great Italo-Oerman filibuster
ing raid in Spain was launched in the
Summer of 1936. Japan continued to
follow the footsteps of the Tartar con
querors of Eastern Asia. It began to
look as though the world would soon
be dotted with unholy facta which we
alone refused to recognize.
This position was dangerous as
well as silly. It was silly because
every one knew that we would not
light to coerce the "have-nots” who
weA snapping up unconsidered trifles
and because our own predatory past
contained episodes as outragesous as
any in recent history. It was dan
gerous because it gave Anglo-French
diplomacy an American back-log In
the event of a victors’ war to punish
Germany for being German and Mus
solini for being Mediterranean.
Now we are beginning to crawl out
of the pit we so self-righteously dug
for others and into which we so in
glorlously tumbled ourselves. For if
we admit that the "sanctity of trea
ties” is subject to modification of
their terms in the light of new cir
cumstances, we can complete our
peaceful evacuation of the Far East
snd resign from the dwindling Vic
tors’ Club which has tried to halt
the history of Europe.

CULBERTSON FLAYS
AMERICAN PACIFISM
Georgetown TJ. Professor and For
mer Envoy Say* Our Policy
Is Selfish.
By th» Associated Preas.
ORONO, Me.. July 23 —W. S. Cul
bertson, Georgetown University pro
fessor and former Ambassador to Chile,
I charged yesterday American pacifism
often was selfish and “unwilling to
do anything for anybody's peace ex
cept our own.”
Declaring "we live in a world or
ganised for war,” Culbertson, in a
speech prepared for the University
of Maine Institute of World Affairs,
said America did not reveal a con
structive approach to the peace prob
lem.
“We run from responsibility,” he
asserted. "Our peace movement is
usually negative; it is supported by
the keep-us-out-of-war sentiment; it
is grounded in the belief that we can
live at peace in a world at war, and
in the conceit that we are a more
peaceful people than other peoples
who lack our geographical advantage.”
Culbertson said preferential tariffs,
such as those In force among nations
of the British commonwealth, ‘ can't
be justified either as sound commer
cial policy or as good international
politics.”
He indorsed Secretary Hull’s trade
agreements program.
Regarding trade agreements, Cul
bertson said ‘‘we need not have fewer
professions of good neighborliness;
such sentiments are useful • • But
we need more Insistence upon our
rights—Insistence that discrimina
tions be removed and that we have a
more equitable share of world trade.”

This Changing World
New State to Provide Home for Exiled Intellectuals
Seen Necessary.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
ANEW state will have to be formed In the near future for Intellec
tual* who have been expelled from countries ruled by dictators.
These people, until a few years ago held in high esteem
by their fellow countrymen and showered with honors by their
respective governments, are now undesirable unless they devote their
minds exclusively to serving the war purposes of their new masters.
Many German and Italian Intellectuals are exiles at the present
moment, earning precarious livings. They are tolerated in foreign lands
particularly because of the pity
they Inspire and partly because
they eerve the propaganda pur
poses of their hosts.
The majority are not practical
men, they used to be provided In
comes by their respective countries
which enabled them to work pa
tiently in their laboratories or
studies. They are lost when they
have to do menial work to keep
soul and body together.
They are a problem to most countries. Of course, men like
Einstein, Emil Ludwig and Thomas Mann are received with open
arms everywhere. But scientists and writers less widely known who
used to make important contributions to human progress are out of
luck.
The only solution being considered at this moment is to gather them
together in some Island with a good climate and place them under the
Jurisdiction of the League of Nations.'
There, some slight contribution from democratic states and nature
would help feed them and they would be able to lead quiet and leisurely
lives far away from the saber rattling In Europe which disturbs their
peace of mind.
If many more advisers and counselor* are appointed, the State
Department soon will become, like the Mexican Army of old, all generals
and no soldiers.
Besides the undersecretary and the usual secretaries, provided
by law to help the Secretary of State, the administration has in
augurated the system of appointing counselors and advisers. Former
Assistant Secretary R. Walton Moore was made counselor of the
department with vague and indefinite duties. This job has been
revived as a consolation prise for the former acting secretary because
he was not appointed Undersecretary of State at he had hoped.
Then, although the State Department was reorganized, throwing all
Independent divisions dealing with various parts of Europe into one
European division. It was thought necessary to appoint James Dunn,
formerly head of that section, as adviser to the Secretary of State on
European affairs. The European division will have a very capable chief,
Plerrepont Moffet. But Mr. Dunn will top him as adviser to Secretary
Hull. In the old days the chiefs of the various European divisions were
considered sufficiently able to advise the Secretary of State on the
problems of their various province*. It is In the cards that some more
advisers and counselors will be appointed before long. In fact. If this
policy la pushed to Its logical end there will be so many advisers that
nobody will know who la what and why.
* * * *
The neutrality act, with all its
implications and complications, will
need some real specialist to advise
the State Department about what
is neutrality and what Is not.
For the time being there are
few men In this country who can
grasp the implication of that im
portant bill. The future adviser will
have to have some Einsteln-like
qualifications, but It Is believed
such a person can be found. „
Then it will be necessary to appoint somebody to deal with contraband
and arms and ammunitions. Joseph Green Is in charge of that depart
ment but it might become necessary to put a more ponderous person in
that division to advise the State Department as to whv ostrich feathers
can be considered war Implements. Green will report to the adviser who
in turn will report to Counselor Moore, who in turn will report to the
Secretary of 8tate, who in turn will advise the President as to why Mr
Green, the adviser, the counselor and be himself think that such and
such a material Is a war Implement.

the first time Grant has made the
Davis Cup team and his elimination
is a hard luck story which will Just
about put flags
at half mast in
Atlanta, his homa

In the Inter

Pate to count

* ■ er—the first time
Frankie Parker. this has hap
pened in a major
American sport event. The sizzling
little blond Southerner, who play, in
shorts and looks like a prep school
lad. is a game fighter, and officials,
gallery and public are generous and
understanding. Now 27, he whammed
his way up to the higher plateaus of
tennis in 10 years after winning his
first Southern championship.
Considering the smooth going of
Frankie Parker, it seems that Dame
Fortune Just didn't have enough luclc
left over to dish any to Bitsy. Parker
was Frank Andzez Pajkowskl, a skinnv,
undernourished Polish boy, shagging
tennis balls in Milwaukee for $2 a
week. He had a nickel to spend and
turned in the rest to his widowed
mother, supporting five children.
Mercer Beasley, coach of the Mil
waukee Town Club, started teaching
him and uncorked his geyser of genius.
At 14 he was national boy champion.
Beasley virtually adopted him and
sent him to LawTenceville, en route to
Princeton. The lad developed such an
appetite for study that It Interfered
with his tennis, but. at 17. he was na
tional clay court champion.
He is not yet 21 and is eagerly In
terested in continuing his education,
but his mentor thought he should have
a chance to grab top laurels in tennis—
which he promptly did. He is today
the most spectacular of the young
giar.t killers. Among tennis authori
ties he provides a text for “the end
of the Tilden slam-bang era and the
start of the new era of strategy.” He
beat Grant at New Orleans January
2 of thi* year when he won the Sugar
Bowl championship.
Uncle Sam has been branching out
a lot in the last few years, but here's
one golden opportunity • which ha
probably will pass up. Geoffrey La
Mesurier Mander. Member of Parlia
ment and the best 55-vear-old squash
player In Britain, thinks a nice way
out of the Palestine rukus would be
for the United States to take over the
Palestine mandate.
The fact that Mr. Mander has no
ill -Intent and really has nothing
against us has been proved by his
friendly attitude toward this country
in the past. In 1933 he stood up in
Parliament and insisted that Britain
pay all of its war debt to the U. S. A.
in one lump sum. Including interest.
He is a man of many talents, in ad
dition to squash and politics. He Is
a skilled and daring aviator, a master
of arts from Cambridge, a lawyer and
a successful business man. chairman of
Mander Bros., Wolverhampton. II
some of his proposals have seemed a
bit quixotic, he has been an earnest
advocate of friendly and close rela
tions between Britain and America,
and it would seem that any gesture
of friendliness anywhere should rate
a hand these days.
