ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NATIONAL ISOLATION DANGEROUS. ‘The United States is probably big enough and strong enough to withstand the attack of any group upon the shores of its forty-eight States. In spite of the cries of the jingoists we doubt if there is a combination of military strength in the world today that could successfylly = invade and subdue the people of this country However, there is more to be said on the subject of national defense. Today, our people are strug- gling to set their economic house in order and one of the important questions is whether we shall re- tire within a nationalistic shell of self-sufficiency, with stringent regulations, or take a part in the life of the world about us, share its trade and reap the benefit. Many contend that only through this latter course will it be possible to maintain and broaden that favorite of orators, “the American standard of living.” Cotton and wheat producers know what the outside world can do to the prices they get for their farm products. The suffering of the agricultural group in this country for more than a decade can be attributed, largely to the absence of foreig markets for their products. Once we go into a sel contained economy that market will be gone and, more than likely, the rest of the world, seeing no cpportunity for cooperative efforts with us, will get together among themselves, with the inevitable result that the United States will be isolated. This may be the best thing that can to the people of the United Siates. Again, not be. Time will tell, but in our own the people of the greatest nation in the world can- not successfully emulate the example of the ancient Chinese and live apart and aloof ifrom O 08 MG MR 5 P The Supreme Court. happen it may cpinion the rast (New York Times.)" Despite the futile bickeing in the Senate over the Supreme Court’s gold decision, the attitude of both Government and general public indicates that the court’s authority and prestige have been inforced. In these days when pretty nearly every time-honored political conception or institution has been challenged, this is a noteworthy result. It was foreshadowed when the nature of the decision was unknown. Not only did the public’s attitude take for granted absolute acquiescence in the judgment, but Congress and the Administration, although dis- cussing means of mitigating possible awkward cons quences of a hostile ruling, never so much as inti- mated either indifference or defiance. Even as regards the feeling, often entertained, that “five-to- four decision” as unfortunate, it must be remembered that, though the court divided over the question what precise legal situation would be created by overruling the act of 1933, it was unanimous in deciding that the law, %o far as concerned the Government's own cbligations, was outright repudia- tion and that, in passing such a law, Congress overstepped its constitutional powers. It is a matter of the highest importance that' in rendering a decision of this Importance, at a time “of mental, financial and ' political unsettiment, the court’s position in our ernmental system re- | should have been actually strengthened. Instances; have occurred in our history when the rendering of | a decision, unpalatable to the Executive or to leg-| islative majorities, has caused open collision be-| tween those branches of government - and - the| judicial. There have been -more rare occasions | when, through stress of circumstances, even public confidencs in certain important rulings of the court| was shaken. The celebrated-Dred Scott decision, at the climax of the slavery contest in 1857, was in that ecategory. On more than one other occasion the public manifested toward the court’s procedure an impatience which sometimes approached popular | \disrespect. This visibly followed the court’s reyersal |of attitude on the Legal Tender cases in the Seven- | |ties and the similar change, within two months, of the court's majority of 1895 on the constitutionality | of the income tax. | | President Jefferson, whose high poitical qualitles were sometimes tarnished by his partisan rancor Iplaced in the way of some decisions a series of |deliberate oostructions. The remark ascribed to President Jackson, that “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it,” may be only political tradition, but there is no doubt that on occasion Jackson, through his personal unwillings | ness to carry out the court’s decisions, made fufilé| certain of its judgments which did not fit in with his plans. Not less unpleasant was the deliberate undertaking by an excited and infatuated Congress- | ional majority, in the Reconstruction days, to cripple | the court’s machinery and authority. | Such impairment of public esteem as these oc- | currences may have caused was, however, neve: | permanent. The people’s confidence in the Supreme Court as an institution of our Government was too| strong to be destroyed. It has visibly grown with| time. Throughout the court's checkered histo thinking Americans have, consciously or uncon-| sciously, adopted ex-President Madison's judgment | that supremacy of Constitution and law, without a supremacy in both ‘“exposition and execution of them, would be as muc ah mockery as a scabbard| put into the hands of a soldier without a sword | in it.” Theodore Roosevelt paid public tribute to “the immense part played by the Supreme Court | in clarifying “the great policies through and by means of which the country has moved on to her| present position.” Webster, as far back as 1830, expressed the judgment in which subsequent gen- erations have concurred: There are in the Constitution .grants of powers to Congress and restrictions on those ‘ powers. = Some authority must, therefore, i naturally exist, having the ultimate juris- diction to fix and ascertain the interpre- tation of these grants, restrictions and pr hibitions. To whom lies the last appeal? This, sir, the Constitution itself decides also, by declaring that “the judicial ower shall extend to all cases arising under the Con- stitution and laws of the United States.” They are, in truth, the keystone of the arch. These two provisions cover the whole ground. Cur First Congress, Webster continued, provided for the United States the necessary machinery for th2 high judiciary. *“It then, sir, became a nment and, but for this would in all have been now among things which ab- | Restraint of Japan.
