A ANSOFNEN DEAL MDLOIGLNKED Berle, at Town Hall, Says| Maldistribution of Wealth Regognized. The administration’s practical agreement in aim with Huey Long on the necessity of distribution ufi wealth was admitted last night by A. A. Berle, charter member of the| brain trust, during & Town Hall meet- ing at the Shorehem Hotel. The young lawyer denounced Sena- | tor Long's methods and his demo- gogic appeal, howevery while he com- | pared the “Kingfish's” platform to conclusions reached by Gov. Eccles of the Federal Reserve Board and the Brookings Institute on the pres- i ent maldistribution of national in-| come. “Huey Long has laid out the first opposition program of the last two | years,” he said. “A good deal that | he says 1s scientifically true. Integrity Is Keynote. “The only forcc which can upset | the Constitution is stupidity or dis- | honesty. If there is inherent integ- rity in result, the Constitution will| stand up. That is precisely the issue raised in Senator Long's program. | “‘One may agree with that program, but if the alternatives are a Long or & Roosevelt, there can be no choice.” | The discourse by Berle, special R. F. C. counsel and an authority on | corporation law, ran deep into a maze of dialectics as he and a panel headed by Senator Hastings, Republican of Delaware and former Representative | James Beck of Pennsylvania debated the constitutional extent of Federal | control Jver commerce. Beck, noted constitutional inter- preter and a steadfast conservative, assailed the administration’s “humpty- dumpty” view of the Constitution “which makes that document the supreme joke of our politics.” Raps Lack of Restraint. “It seems to me we are living under & double standard of morality in this country in respect to the Constitu- tion,” declared the slight-framed Re- publican, who refused to run last Fall for re-election to Congress because he felt “the administration was tearipg the Constitution from its pedestal.” “Congress has today no more sense of restraint of the Constitution than the German Reichstag. The actual administration of the Government is | to treat the Constitution as mean- ingless. “I know a prominent administra- tion official who has often said, ‘Damn the Constitution.’” Mr. Berle said the “Constitution is in considerable danger,” but added: | | is adoption.” The speaker laid emphasis on the great necessity for honesty in gov- ernmental administration as he said: “No constitution will survive a cor- | rupt administration. “The Constitution must be adapt- able to conditions. There is more danger from a rigid construction of the Constitution aiming to protect individual groups than there is from flexibility. “The tide is likely to turn to the left in the long run. The economics of capitalism can no longer stand up under analysis. For corporations know only one law—self-preservation, which develops a force beyond the power of the individual to cope with.” DR.
