A-2 % THE EVENING WLSON'S DEFENSE OF STATESGED N. R. A. Decision Recalls} Constitution Support Against Expediency. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Out of the many thousands of laws | passed by Congress since the founda- | tion of the Republic less than 60 have | been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. | Much of the comment on the de- | cision of a week ago now being made by various New Dealers, who are chagrined at the way their plans have been frustrated, proceeds from the notion that the Supreme Court has What’s What Behind News In Capital Makeshift Substitute Laws Planned for New Deal Reform. BY PAUL MALLON. HE course of reformation of the New Deal is now fixed. No definite announcement is being made because President Roosevelt does not wish to tie his hands to it in public just yet. Detalls remain to be ironed out. Free- dom of action must be maintained. But his mind, his purpose and his have been personally determined. been constantly nullifying the will of Congress and that the court some- | how passed on the merits of the New | Deal itself. | Nothing of the kind ix to be found | in the unanimous opinion of the | court, which summed up the whole | N. R. A. controversy in a brief para- | graph toward the end of the decision: | “It is not the province of the court to consider the economic advantages or disadvantages of such & centralized system. It is sufficient to say that the Federal Constitution does not pro- vide for it.” Wilson's Opinion. What President Roosevelt said at his conference last Friday with the press about returning to “horse and | buggy” days might give the impression | that the court introduced & novel | idea. Actually the point at issue has been discussed hundreds of times by constitutional authorities and the best | exposition of it was written by Wood- row Wilson, a Democrat, & liberal, a | defender of human rights and one of the keenest students of the Constitu- tion who ever sat in the White House. | He wrote: | “The Constitution was not meant to | hold the Government back to the time of horses and wagons, the time | when postboys carried every com- munication that passed from mer- chant to merchant, when trade had few long routes within the Nation and | did not venture in bulk beyond | neighborhood transactions | “The United States have clearly | from generation to generation been | taking on more and more of the| characteristics of & community: more | and more have their economic in- | terests come to seem common inter- | ests: and the courts have rightly en- | deavored to make the Constitution a suitable instrument of the nnuoml‘ life. extending to the things that are | now common the rules that it estab- | lished for similar things that were common at the beginning. Temptation to Oversiep. “The real difficulty has been to draw | the line where this process of ex- pansion and adaptation ceases to be legitimate and becomes a mere act of | will on the part of the Government, served by the courts. The temptation | to overstep the proper boundaries has been particularly great, in interpreting the meaning of the words ‘commerce among the several States.’ | “Manifestly, in & commercial na- tion, almost every item of life di- rectly or indirectly affects commerce, and our commerce is almost all of it on the grand scale. There is a vast| deal of buying and selling, of course, | within the ‘boundaries of each State, | but even the buying and selling which | s done within a single State consti- -tutes in our day but a part of that| great movement of merchandise along | lines of railway and water course | which runs without limit and with- | out regard to political jurisdiction. | “State commerce seems almost im- | possible to distinguish from inter- | state commerce. It has all come to | seem part of what Congress may un- questionably regulate, though the makers of the Constitution may never have dreamed of anything like it and the tremendous interests which it affects. Which part of the complex thing may Congress regulate? Saw Regulatory Limits. “Clearly, any part of the actual movement of merchandise and per- sons from State to State. May it also regulate the conditions under which the merchandise is produced | which is presently to become the sub- ject matter of interstate commerce? May it regulate tbe conditions of Jabor in fleld and factory? Clearly not. I should say: and I should think that any thoughtful lawyer who felt himself ai liberty to be frank would agree with me. | “For that would be to destroy all lines of division between the field of State legisiation and the field of Ped- eral legislation. Back of the condi- tions of labor in the field and in the | factory lie all the intimate matters | of morals and of domestic and busi- ness relationships which have always been recognized as the undisputed field of State law. and these condi- tions that lie back of labor may easily | be shown to have their part in de- termining the character and efficiency of commerce between the States. | ‘If the Federal power does not end | Court merely gave the Constitution | with the regulation of the actual | movement of trade, it ends nowhere, | and the line between State and Fed- eral jurisdiction is obliterated. Nation's Conscience Guide. | “Bur. this is not universally seen or mdmitted. It is, therefore, one of the things upon which the conscience of the Nation must take test of itself. to see if it still retains that spirit of constitutional understanding which is the only ultimate prop and support of constitutional government.” After pointing out thai one of the principal reasons for “radical sugges- tions of change” in our Federal system | is the Joss of confidence in State | Legislatures, he urges that more | thought and energy be devoted to im- | proving State governments. He adds: “It would be fatal to our political vitality really to strip the States of their powers and transfer them to the Pederal Government. It cannot be too often repeated that it has been the privilege of separate development se- cured to the several regions of the country by the Constitution, and not the privilege of separate development only, but also, that other more fun- damental privilege that lies back of it, the privilege of independent. local opinion and individual conviction, which has given speed, facility, vigor and certainty to the processes of our economic and political growth. “To buy temporary ease and con- venience for the performance of a | few great tasks of the hour at the ex- pense of that would be to pay too great a price and to cheat all gener- ations for the sake of one.” These lines might have been writ- ten last week, for they coincide in spirtt and In substance with the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court. His writings indicate clearly that were he living today, Woodrow Wilson would oppose any constitu- tional amendment to extend Federal power over the States. (Copyright. 1935.)

Its legal ap- proach will be through s Federal statute to protect any State from goods produced in other States under | labor standards below its own. legal principle already has been ap- proved by the Supreme Court in pro- hibition cases. The same basic idea is embodied in the Hawes-Cooper act covering convict-made goods. This means that the Stales would be encouraged fo make their own N. R. A. laws and that the Government would assume the power of enforcing them For instance, the New York State Legislature would be asked to fix maximum working hours and mini- | mum wages. Any goods would be barred from that State unless pro- duced under standards identical or better than those of New York. The | effect would be to cause all States to adopt identical minimum wage-maxi- mum hour provisions. It would require weeks. if not months, to obtain such State action.! Business to Follow Own Will. No New Dealer is very proud of these two ideas. They have been | accepted because there is nothing | else to do immediately. It is recog- nized on the inside that the voluntary { associations will only pretend to be effective. They will merely provide some semblance of order in the re- organization of business after the collapse of the N. R. A centralized authority, each business | will naturally do as it sees fit. Also | the proposed State minimum wage- | maximum hour set-up is a long way from being adopted. In two or three years, it might provide a feasible | substitute for the New Deal re-| form method, if energetically pushed | through Congress and through the State legislatures. Amendment Is Only Hope. ‘What all this heads up to is a drive by the New Deal to amend the in- terstate commerce clause of the Con- stitution. This is the only way in which the New Deal can be saved. The foremost men among the New Dealers now confess it privately. What has happened in the past week is that the President has dis- covered that the Supreme Court has given him an issue. It knocked the legal props out from under his whole show. He had built nearly all of it on the ground that the Federal Government has the power to regulate anything aflecting inter- state commerce. The court said that interstate commerce regula- tion applies only to goods actually in transit: that is, actual interstate commerce, not theoretical inter- state commerce. This bundled the whole question of | 2 New Deal into one composite issue. It swept aside all the formidable natural objections to some phases of | | the New Desal issue. It implied the This | ! diplomats must pay American income | taxes There was quick reaction from the Secretary Hull | protested to Secretary Morgenthau, | Letters were exchanged and confer- { ences held. Pinally Morgenthau agreed to delay enforcement until Hull had time to get Congress to change the law. This session Hull took the question up with Chairman McReynolds, Demo- crat, of Tennessee, of the House For- Afiairs Committee. McReynolds’ com- mittee, however, has no jurisdiction over taxes, so he had to refer the matter to the House Ways and Means | Committee. U. S. Would Lese Money. A bill was drafted and introdiced by Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina, of that committee. In his stidy of the situation Doughton has found this: Under the present system an Amer- ican consul in London with an incorae of $8.000 & year pays $248 to the United States Treasury. If. however, the reciprocity exemption were aban- doned, he would have to pay the British rate, which would amount 0 $1.19531. Great Britain would get $1,195.31 and the United States would lose $248 Since the United States has more diplomatic and consular agents sta- tioned around the world than foreign nations have sent to the United States, and since the average salary of the American is higher than that | of the others. the actuaries calculate | the final result would be a financial loss to the United States.
