F. T. O’Connor, fomptroller of the currency, has been interested in Bismarck’s fight to obtain enlargement of Fort Lincoln comes as encouraging news to citizens interested in this development. His advocacy of our cause easily may mean the difference between success and failure. Ordinarily the job of presenting the causes of local constituencies falls-to senators and con- gressmen, They draw $10,000 “and perqui- sites” a year for doing just that. Presumably they would be panting to render service to so large a portion of North Dakota’s citizenry as is interested in Fort Lincoln. But the pressure of the times seems to have Wrecking NRA .. .

Perhaps the requests coming to them from various parts of the state are so numerous that they feel swamped. If so, they probably can be forgiven. Greater men have found the going tough in such cir- cumstances, Besides, this business of helping their con- stituents to obtain such things as federal ap-| merste! propriations for.local improvements is hardly | to ai their forte. Senator Nye used to be fairly good at it but since his major occupation now seems to be that of leading a pack of newspaper re- porters hard on the heels of the panting muni- tions manufacturers he has more: interesting things to do. Senator Frazier, constitutionally opposed to military arts, has found it hard to interest himself in the job of increasing the number of soldiers in his home state, while Congressmen Lemke and Burdick have found the task of revising the currency and getting the printing presses started much harder than it appeared to be at a distance and that task is taking all of their time. They are not the men to be diverted from their cause by the incidental matters which come up for a congressman’s attention. Hence, to put it baldly, if we were to get action on the Fort Lincoln improvement proj- ect it was necessary to seek aid from other sources, Mr. O’Connor was the logical choice if he could be interested, and his affection for his old home state was such that his sympathies were| think about war as they join aroused.

Two years were required to determine validity of the NRA system and it may take as long for a decision on any substitute set-up. Intrastate commerce may be controlled by congress only when it has @ “direct” effect on interstate com- merce, the court says—and leaves it to congress to guess where “indirect” leaves off and “direct” begins. eee FASCISM FEAR UPPERMOST Averaging over 70 years, the justices have been brought up on the old-fashioned political-economic sys- tem. Even so conspicuous a liberal as Justice Brandeis is noted for violent opposition to concentration of po- litical and economic power. To establish either Fascism or Communism—éo runs the private reasoning of the justices—you must first break down parliamentary authority and local and state autonomy. That autonomy is a bulwark against either. NRA was too huge a dose to swallow. Read the Humphries decision to see how there again the court unanimously acted to curb “usurpation” of executive power tending toward dictatorship—and even the Frazier- Lemke decision, curbing extension of the federal power Property. All of which is the most authoritative backstage explanation as to why the court reverted to its more reactionary décisions instead of pressing on from lib- eral decisions which had given New Dealers hope. Some liberals will answer that in curbing federal social-economic legislation it cuts off the hands with which powerful forces and trends now making for Fascism might be throttled. eee LEFT IN BLIND ALLEY MOVED BY “OPPRESSION” The court could have been more helpful if it had liked. But it felt too many NRA principles were evil, one is told. It had heard many stories of oppression of “little fellows.” Certain eaglets came home to roost—notably the NRA practice of letting dominant sections of in- dustries write their own code tickets. “Would it be seriously contended that Congress could delegate its legislative authority to trade or industrial associations or groups so as to empower them to enact the laws they deem to be wise and beneficent for the rehabilitation and expansion of their trades or indus- tries?” the court asked, as if to dismiss the idea as absurd.

These proposed plans would have limited greatly the power of code authorities and even might have prevented them from collecting code assessments which amounted to some $41,000,000 last year, NRA, under this procedure, believed it could have car- ried out enforcement at a cost of around $5,000,000, Even though this program now cannot be followed, some NRA offi- cials think it may be possible to sal- vage enough to lay the groundwork for future endeavor.
