Yet this two- year period has seen the emergence of a new Supreme . Court, precominatingly liberal, and, in the light of recer sions, almost certain to sustain the New De: contested issues. There are now only two confirmed conservatives on the supreme bench, Justices Butler and Mc- Reynolds. Of the present liberal wing of four judges, three were appointed by President Roosevelt—Black, and Frankfurter.

President Roosevelt hac ibmitted his plan to enlarge the court and to/| reorganize the whole Federal Judiciary. The “nine old men” were being sharply attacked and as vigor- ously defended. Their individual personalities and ristics were much in the public mind. it is doubtful if the average citizen could Toda Reed or will likewise be a liberal. changes, together with the established :lism of Justice Stone, a Coolidge appointee, will| »finite liberal majority to confront the next and Congress, whatever their political com- | succes These licer plexicn.

Should it be his lot to name only one 1 ition to filling the Brandeis vacancy, ceevelt will have appointed more members of than any of his predecessors except Presi- hington, Jefferson and Taft s have shaped themselves, the bitter court { 1937 might appear to have been needless. a student of national affairs contends— i with good basis of authority—that the I “altack” upon the court was instrumental in 2 its point of view upon social issues. Another accepts as valid the adage that the “Cupreme Court follows the election returns,” was t many Should there be as impressive a popular : other direction, the Court's trend might it there should not develop any pack” a Supreme Court deemed (oo liberal ent the Roosevelt impress upon the Court The relatively youthful President may be expected to be least 20 years to come. However, there ntee that a jurist, or any other individual, liberal today, may be of the same mind (,‘n!l.&llll‘l' Justice McReynolds President Wilson in 1914 he had trust buster.” Yet today he is considered most conservative die-hard; its only mem- ly. not present at the Court’s memorial to the la Justice Cardozo, and not join- month’s tribute in which his seven col- even Republicans to eaders ; and lasting d by riking indorsement of the Administration at thej by those who know that there is no color line in art. It is ironic as well as outrageous that in the capital of her own country she is Jim Crowed, and by an or- ganization which pays lip service to liberty. The belated explanation by a D.A.R. officer that the hall had been engaged for April 9, the date sought by Miss Anderson, is hardly convincing, for the com- mittee arranging Miss Anderson’s appearance reports that she was also refused the hall for April 8 or April 10. The evidence supports the comment of Miss An- derson’s manager that the Daughters, by this incident, substantiate the charge, often repeated, that “they have not yet begun to understand the true meaning f American democracy. Tunisia (Philadelphia Record) One of the grim practical jokes that Chancellor Bismarck played on Europe comes to a point with the Franco-Italian clash over Tunisia. It was Bismarck’s bright idea to encourage the French to take Tunisia in order to make France forget Alsace-Lorraine, embrofl itself in African colonial expansion and, also, to make enemies of France and Tualy. After France somewhat reluctantly acted on Bis- marck's suggestion and occupied Tunisia in 1881, Italy rushed into Germany’s arms for protection against French “encirclement.” Since then, Tunisia has been tossed about in diplomatic circles like a hot potato. The Germans told Ttaly in 1890 that Tunisia wasn't worth fighting | for and in 1914 France tried to give Tunisia to Italy as a bribe for Italy’s entry into the World War on the side of France. But Italy wasn’t having any, then. It was virtuously holding out for a larger bribe— domination of the Adriatic and expansion northward. As late as 1935, Mussolini was cheerfully signing tory. That was part of the price for the agreement | giving Italy a free hand in Ethiopia. But now that Ethiopia is in the bag, Tunisia suddenly looms up again. And as usual, the demand for Tunisia doubt- | less masks some other maneuver. The Remarkable Thing —_— | (Cincinnati Enquirer) The decision of the Supreme Court denouncing | portant one, but not remarkable. Supreme Court to override the National Labor Rela- tions Board on the point. The Supreme Court decision, in other words, sat squarely with the belief of most citizens of the nation —these who viewed the matter from the standpoint | of ordinary common sense as well as those able to regard the situation in its legalistic aspects. The “sit- down” strike tactics long since had been outlawed at the bar of public opinion, The Supreme Court decision is at variance with the National Labor Relations Board precisely to the extent that the board ran counter to law and com- mon sense The legitimate, orderly progress of organized labor is not harmed by the Supreme Court decision in the Fansteel case. Labor is much better off rid of gang- ster tactics. A survey reveals that the average American house- wife washes an acre of dirty dishes, scrubs five miles of floors, and washes three miles of clothes every year. What gets them, though, is that five millionth time the doorbell rings. Reports that Hitler is .osing ground probably do not worry der fuehrer since he is gaining plenty of territory.
