I have reported to you likewise how President Roosevelt, him self, had hinted, If he has not said frankly, that the Constitution Aught to be amepded so that some of the pol icies for which he and his New Deal stand could be made operative. I have called attention as well to an ap parent assurance that there will be a political campaign-battle next year on these questions. Now, because of developments with in the past few weeks, I propose to discuss another phase of these attacks on the Constitution and their concealed purpose. Frankly, I cannot avoid the conclusion that many of the criticisms of our Constitution have as their main objective the clipping of wings of tlje Supreme court of the United States. I am convinced that many of the demanda for amendment of the Constitution to permit broader latitude by congress^nre nothing more nor less than a disguised move to take awjjy some of the independence which the court has and which, in my opinion. It oughf-iriways to possess. Further, I have no doubt that these “borings from within” represent the activities of . those Individuals of whom there are thousands who are not in sympatl^y with our form of government. So, if I am to serve my purpose as your ob server In Washington, I would fall short of my duty were I not to say that In the election of the next con gress lies the answer whether we will retain, our Constifhtlon and our tradi tions as a republic or whether we will lapse Into some form of state social-. Ism or of a proletarian government akin to that of Russia. • • • ' :—• It was back In 1004 that the late Chief Justice Edward Douglas White— a former United Supreme states senator from ' Court the Democratic £outh and a farmer Confederate soldier—felt it necessary to make a public observation about the work of our highest legal tribunal. At tljat time fhere were certain at tacks ami criticisms being heard, none of a direct nature, to Ihe general ef fect that the Supreme court followed the majority opinion of the nation’s population. There were likewise veiled remarks that the Supreme court at tempted to usurp power which was not Its own. Strangely, present-day crit icism and attacks have had much the same flavor. To those of t^iat day, Chief Justice White said: No Instance is afforded from the frhiudation of the government where an nK which was within a power con ferred, w^is declared to be repugnant to the ComKitution because It appeared to the judicial mind that the partic ular assertion of constitutional power was either unwise or unjust.” I have heard, and ndNjoubt you have heard, assertions by untntqking people to the effect that since theNwirt has held some New Deal laws unconstitu tional, It was simply old-fashioned, out dated, or as Mr. Roosevelt said, its de cisions were taking us back to the "horse and buggy days." Of course, anyone who has observed the Supreme court; anyone who has studied Its pre cepts and examples; anyone who has considered the soundness of its logic and philosophy, cannot help reaching a conclusion that the Supreme court Is not now add. never has been an agency of govemYnenV that Is susceptible to the effects of rabble rousing or is In fluenced by suddenly developed waves of public opinion. Tt has consistently adhered to the principle of interpret ing laws and administering Justice without regard for the effect of its de cisions upon the political plans or aspirations of Individuals or groups. I do not believe that a drive to limit the power of the Supreme court or use it hr any other way than as the Con stitution's drafters Intended will be suc cessful. Many people with^vhom 1 have come In Contact, however, anticipate a drive of serious import It may he that they wish to see it or It may be that they believe our Constitution Is not suf ficiently flexible and that we can hard ly change the Constitution without changing* the power of the Supreme court. However that may be, It does appear that the time has arrived for those who would be Americans and who would have America last as a Re^ public to be on their guard and to know before ^hey vote for members of the house and senate whether those members are going to support and de^ fend the Constitution, the Supreme Cojirt and the thtogs-for- which the Constitution add court stand In our na tional life. It is a non-partisan ques tion; It is a non-partisan Issue, and I think it Is of as much Importance as any question before the American peo ple today. All of this Is highly Important be cause of pending cases In the Supreme court I need only recall to you that there are'before the court Jor adjudica tion cases Involving the validity of the CHILDREN'S FEAR Sometime* a child will develop a phobia or fear indirectly. A case in point was that of a child who feared rabbits, with which If had played for years, after being startled during »uch play by the beating of a gong. Another case was that of a boy who grew to manhood v^th an Intense fear of confined spaces because, when very' young, he had been frightened by a dog in a narrow^ passage.—Col lier’s Weekly. How Calotabs Help Nature To Throw Off a Bad Cold v Millions have found in C&lotaba a most valuable aid In the treatment of colds. They take one or two tab lets the first night and repeat the third or fifth night If needed. How do Calotabs heh> Nature throw off a cold? First, Calotabs is one of the most thorough and de pendable of all intestinal eliminants. thus cleansing the intestinal tract of the germ-laden mucus and toxlnes. Second, Calotabs are diuretic to tbo kidneys., promoting the elimination of cold poisons from the system. Thus Calotabs serve the double purpose of a purgative and diuretic, both of which are needed in the treatment of colds. Calotabs are quite- economical; only twenty-five cents for the family package, ten cents for the trial package. (Adv.)

I think It is gen erally agreed that' the-court will hold some of these legislative policies to be unconstitutional. Certainly, legal opin ion Is thoroughly divided and some of the lawyers must be right In'their guesses as to the court’s decrees. In that event, there will be disappoint ments. Those officials who have spon sored the various programs and proj ects that are now come Into question will suffer because their pride will be hurt. The next step, a result that al ways obtains, ■ the disappointed ones- will^ attempt to find a goat on whom they can lay the blame. The goat un doubtedly ~vvill pe the Supreme court but the general reverence held for the court will not periq|t open attacks upon It.. Instead, these disappointed ones will seek to accomplish their purpose in another way, namely, by changes In the Constitution that will curb the power of the court. It will not be the first time that this has been done or tlkat drives against the court have taken place. Proposals to change the pqwer of the court by constitutional amend- menl orot her wise occurred in 1823, 182G, 1808, In the 1890’s and again In 1023. Fortunately, congress rejected those proposals in every instance. It is to be hoped that congress will do It again. Now, we have a total of four pro posals In congress designed to accom plish changes In the power of the court. Probably the most important of these Is thai by Senator Norris of Nebraska who advocates a constitu tional change that would give the Su preme court exclusive pow-er* to pass upon constitutional questions of law, and to pass on those questions within six months after enactment of the legislation In question. On the surface, this would Appear to be a meritorious proposition but I have found. In discussing It with men equipped to analyze the" proposal,* It contains some elements*~bf grave dan ger. If such a provision were opera tive at the present time, for instance, it would be easy : fbr some of the brain trust to make It impossible for the court ever to have an opportunity to declare the act constitutional or un constitutional. The course that wn* pointed out to me was this: I5y the expedient of allowing a new law to be Inoperative through non-enforcement for a period of six months, Its terms could never be brought Into question. If the administrative official did not seek to enforce the law* and bring vio lators to the bar of the court within the, six-month period the law would go on the statute books until repealed by congress. 1 • • • Senator Norris likewise has argued that the Supreme court should nevef . , he allowed to declare Norris an ac t unconstitu- Argument tlonal unless two- thirds of the nine justices were in agreement In that re gard. He has bitterly opposed rulings of the court which were decided on a five to four basis; so it seems the Ne braska senator may have a beautiful theonN^that could easily go off at a tangent Tehen applied to humans. Most of rhe other proposals now in congress wllfN^et nowhere in con gressional cgnsldNation and. therefore, reference to them vMR be omitted. It remains as a possibilitSshowever, tha,t the next election could tfnbg in enough rabble-rousing demagoguesXto put through resolutions proposing that the Constitution be amended. Of collide, those resolutions from congress havt to be adopted by the 48 states but It has always been the case that If pro posed amendments to th^ Constitution are checked in congress v the' major bat tle has been won.

Certainly, they will be disappointed but whether this disappointment will Tesult In a concerted movement by them to amend the Constitution to per mit operation fit present AA.\ policies is a question only time can answer. There is this much that can be said, however, and It has no relation to politics: I believe they will regret It If they seek to open up- the Consti tution to amendments. If they do succeed, they will then find that all of the other Interests In this^ country will be clamoring for changes and the result probably be a, muddy mess.
