CONCERNING THE SUPREME COURT
As details of national issues gradually filter through
it becomes increasingly clear to us who live on the
fringe of things in far off Northwestern Alaska, that
the mythical cloak of inviolability and the legend of im
perviousness to criticism built up of late years around
the Supreme Court, are gradually being dissipated by
the light of unprecidented publicity directed at the Su
preme Court during the past few months.
Every real American, irrespective of political inclin
ation, realizes that the Supreme Court as an institution
of American democratic government must be protected
and perpetuated as our highest tribunal of Justice.
Out of all the tumult and the shouting no criticism
can be found directed at the Supreme Court as an in
stitution of government.
The founding fathers when they left us the priceless
heritage of the American constitution, though they
were perhaps guided in its writing by Devine Provi
dence, nevertheless left us a human document.
The personnel of the Supreme Court since its incep
tion has consisted of mortal men, lawyers it is true, but
after all just highly educated human beings, subject to
the same idiocyncrasies and foibles that beset the ordin
ary man History has recorded many great and able
members of this Court who had the ability to rise above
and transcend the ordinary weaknesses of the flesh, but
it also records the fact that from time to time it con
tained members who were plainly actuated in their
decisions by bias and prejudice.
If there is one court in the land where judicial de
cisions should be free from bias and prejudice, and as
President Roosevelt so aptly puts it: “free from the Jus
tices personal economic predelictions,” it should be our
Supreme Court. Yet we find men on the present Su
preme ourt like Mr. Justice McReynolds, appointed to
the Court by President Wilson in 1914.
Justice McReynolds read a newspaper while Justice
Brandeis went through the solemn ceremony of becom
ing a member of this dignified body. For 12 long years
thereafter Justice McReynolds never once addressed
Justice Brandeis by word of mouth although they labor
ed side by side performing the duties of the Court.
As a classic example ol intollerance this has rarely
been equalled. It has never been definitely established
whether this petty act of snubbing was due to the fact
that Justice Brandeis was a Jew, or because Justice
Brandeis was the great liberal jurist of his day.
It hardly seems possible that a man of this nature
could be tempermentally fitted to render decisions
free from personal bias and prejudice. It is rather sig
nificant that Justice McRevnolds’ batting average is
1000 per cent. He is the only member of the Supreme
Court who has voted against every single New Deal
measure that has come before that Court.
The ire and fire of President Roosevelt is not being
directed against the Supreme Court as an institution of
government, but in part against certain members of the
Court who appear to be incapable of rendering deci
sions that are not based on personal economic predic
tions. The Constitution says very clearly—"The Am
erican form of government is a government of law and

British Count
On U* S- Cash
At Coronation
LONDON, (AP) — American
visitors are listed as the probable
heaviest contributors from a sin
gle nation to the pockets of Great
Britain's tradesmen and hotel
keepers in revised estimates now
made by shipping companies of
the hosts expected here for the
coronation celebrations.
Most of the money will pour in
from the dominions and the Un
ited States. Little cash propor
tionately is expected from contin
ental Europe, Russia or Asia,
where currency restrictions bar
travel.
100,000 Americans Expected
Shipping companies are estimat
ing that with accomodations on
every big liner leaving for Eur
ope sold out until July, at least
100,000 Americans will visit Eng
land during the coronation per
iod between May 1 and July 1.
The coronation itself takes place
on May 12.
It is estimated that 90,000 visi
tors will come to London from
the British dominions and 5000
from British colonies. A scatter
ing of visitors from other places
is expected to swell the total
number of visitors to around 210,
-000. These visitors are expected
to drop about $90,000,000 in Eng
land.
This figure represents what ac
tually goes into the pockets of
traders. It does not include tran
sportation expenditure.
It is believed that the average
visitor from the dominions or col
onies will spend $500 here, mak
ing the total estimated dominion
contribution $45,000,000.
American visitors, it is figured,
on the other hand may slip off
to the continent sooner than visi
tors from the dominions and there
fore may drop only around $375
per person, so that the total Am
erican donation will be $37,500.
000 plus travel costs.
Few Irish Expected
No Spaniards and few Balkan
ites are likely to come to tlje
coronation in numbers and very
few Irish are likely to cross the
Irish sea in view of President
Eamon de Valera’s attitude to
ward the British crown.
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler per
mits Germans to take only ten
marks ($4) out of the country, so
that balks the German conting
ent. Premier Mussolini is not
likely to encourage Italian travel
to England and the Russians have
not yet become a touring nation.
The French possibly will come
to England in larger numbers
than any other continental nation
als. But they are thrifty and will
not throw their money around
like visitors from the United Sta
tes and the dominions are ex
pected to do.
Transportation and shipping
I
’ .gents have estimated the coron
ation rush and money contribu
tions at something like the fol
lowing table;
One hundred thousand Ameri
cans at $375 per person, $37,500.
000 ; 30,000 Canadians at $500 per
person, $15,000,000; 25,000 Aus
tralians at $500 per person. $12,
500,000; 15.000 Indians at $500 per
person, $7,500,000; 10,000 South
Africans at $500 per person. $5,
000,000; 10,000 New Zealanders at
$500 per person, $5,000,000; 1,000
Scandinavians at $500 per person,
$500,000,000; 10,000 French at
$250 per person, $2,500,000; 1,000
Greeks, Egyptians, and eastern
and central Europeans at $500
per person, $500,000 ; 2000 Belg
ians at $250 per person, $500,000:
and five thousand colonia;s at
$500 per persons, $2,500,000: mak
ing a grand total of 210,000 visi
tors, $89,500,000.
The steamship passage bill f"r
all empire visitors was estimated
at $28,750,000 in addition to the
above amount.
