COURT AMENDMENTS
As the court reform proposal continues to hold the
country- as the leading subject of controversy and inter
est, amendments enter the picture in abundance. There
appears to be scores of them, but five now are holding
the spotlight in the reverberations emanating from the
national capital. These include:
(1) An amendmena by Senator O'Mahoney of Wy
oming, providing that no law of Congress shali be held
unconstitutional by an inferior court and requiring a
two-thirds vote of the Supreme Court so to invalidate
an act.
(2) The Wheeler-Bone amendment providing that
any act declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
might be re-enacted by a two-thirds vote of each house
such vote to be take li crffcSXLjS eeneral election in which
members of Congress are chosen. ' ~
(3) An amendment by Senator Norris providing
for a limit of nine years on the tenure of justices of the
Supreme Court and judges of all inferior courts.
(4) A proposal by Senator Burke allowing volun
tary retirement of justices and judges at the age of 70
years and compulsory retirement at the age of 75.
(5) An amendment by Senator Ellender specifying
compulsory retirement for members of all Federal
courts at the age of 70 years.
Despite the outlay of amendments, however, the
President’s original plan appears to be holding the com
manding position. Turner Catledge. writing from Wash
ington for the New York Times, interprets the current
situation in this way:
“Unless and until there is some more definite agree
ment on an amendment to be pursued, the proposals
now pending, both as related to restricting the court
and redefining the powers of Congress must take second
place to the President’s own plan. Regardless of all the
opposition that it has evoked—and it is considerable—
the President's plan of legislative action to remake the
court stands as the one with the largest following. This
is due primarily, of course- to the weight given it by the
President’s own sponsorship, but the fact remains that
it cannot be overthrown by any amending proposal
which has no more followers than any one of those whi
ch has been discussed to date.
It is apparent, however, that the administration
leaders regard the pending amendments as offering the
best weapon for those who would change or stop the
President s plan. As a consequence, a considerable part
of the testimony which they are presenting before the
Senate Judiciary Committee has been devoted to the
probable trials and tribulations of amendments submit
ted at this time.”
FACTORS IN UNREST
—
The world today is spending more than $11,000,000,
000 a year for armaments. Perhaps the actual total for
the year 1937 will run considerably more than this. ..In
addition, all major powers are trying to build up sur
plus stocks of vital war materials, such as copper, cot
ton tin and manganese, to insure an adequate supply in
the event of war. All this places an unprecedented

burden on the peoples of the world, reducing their stan
dard of living as more and more wealth is diverted to
amassing the instruments of destruction..
In itself, this is a long step backward toward bar
barism. It also brings nearer the major war which un
doubtedly will produce barbarism, on a vast scale. But
the effect is far worse because this surge of rearmament
comes just at a time when the peoples are demanding
betterment of their conditions of life.
The productive resources of the nations are not great
enough to provide both. Either they will be used more
largely for armaments, or they will be used for social
reconstruction, such as housing programs, social insur
ance. education and public health. A few fortunate
countries, like Sweden and Denmark are staying out of
the armaments race. It is these countries that are meet
ing most successfully the challenge of a social problem
created by long economic depression.
Some great powers already have cut social insur
ance and welfare projuects materially, in order to fin
ance rearmament. Others will come to it shortly. All
are engaged in a dangerous policy of inflation or credit
expansion, trying to carry both burdens. The most
spectacular case is Germany- where inflation of credit
has reached a dangerous point. France has narrowly
averted this—at the expense of welfare programs. Great
Britain and the United States are able to survive a lit
tle longer, but are already being forced to choose be
tween smaller armament, reduced standards of living,
and dangerous inflation of credit. Soviet Russia long
since sacrificed a large measure of well-being for its
people in order to prepare for war on a grandiose scale.
This is the supreme tragedy of our time, proceeding
relentlessly and gaining its greatest momentum just as
genuine world-wide recovery was within sight. Worse,
there are few’ signs that the world’s statemen will be
able to set in motion remedial policies such as armament
limitation, collective security, or reduction of trade bar
riers. This is not as spectacular a sort of gloom as wre
were treated to in Europe for a time, when any incident
might have started another war. But it is more dis
couraging in other ways, because even though man
made, the forces at work seem so far beyond conscious
human control.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

MR. MERCHANT:
Do you know that enough business is going
out of town every month to support at least one
more store here, even larger than any doing busi
ness here todav.
Every mail brings in direct mail advertising
that is taking YOUR Business away from YOUR

by telling the public what you have to offer.
t
And the best way to tell them is through the
adverising columns of THE NUGGET.
