A—14 SIATES DEFENDED AGAINST CONGREDS Decision by Supreme Court - Repeals U. S. lavasion of Rights. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The Supreme Court of the United States this week has rendered by unanimous vote a decision, which, while attracting much less attention than the Schechter case, may pos- sibly some day attain almost -equal | importance in resisting the power u{\ Congress to encroach on the rights ol‘ the States. The court proclaimed that a corpo- ration created by a State was gov- erned by the laws of that State and that only under certain circumstances epumerated and specified by the Fed- eral Constitution itself could the Fed- eral authority be exerted. This principle may conceivably mean that the Guffey act is uncon- stitutional, that the public utility hold- ing company act is unconstitutional and that the O'Mahoney bill, spon- sored by the American Federation of Labor, to compel corporations to take out a Federal charter or license and | submit themselves to Federal regula- tion as to management and operations may also be declared invalid if it is ever passed by Congress. State’s Assent Necessary. Briefly, the Supreme Court ruled that a State corporation cannot be dissolved or its powers taken from it by an act of Congress unless the State which creates the corporation assents to the chang>. This could mean that the coal companies incor- porated under State law would hardly be compelled to accept Federal juris- | diction unless they were already sub- Ject to the interstate commerce clause | of the Constitution, and this, of course, | is not true of coal’ mining companies, even though their product is destined for interstate commerce. Likewise, the Supreme Court's de- cision may be read to mean that a public utility holding company char- tered, for instance, under the laws| The 100th anniversary exhibit at Carnegie Institution, opening to- morrow, will have as_its main attraction the 60-inch lens to be placed The exhibit marks the 100th anniversary Dr. Walter S.

French Are Optimistic. Although the French joined in the Securities and Exchange Commission | 8eneral opposition to rejection of the and then sabotaged. But these holding companies can certainly be covered | under Federal authority solely Ior‘ purposes of preventing the improper sale of their sgeurities or the fraud- ulent presentation of their securities in interstate commerce because the husiness of transmitting securities to | and from across State lines is dis- tinctly an interstate commerce trans- sction. It is on the attempt, however, to| tnterferefin the management of hold- Japanese demands, a spokesman for the French delegation said the out- look was not regarded as black. “From our point of view.” said the spokesman, ‘“nothing very serious happened today.” Observers took the remark as indi- | cating that the question of a common | upper limit, which involves Japanese parity with Great Britain and the United States, had not necessarily been completely discarded. The French were understood to be- ing companies or to force the dis-|lieve that granting of naval equality solution of assets segregated in holding companies that the rule of the court announced this week may come into play. It might be inferred from the text of the opinion that the several States, having created corporations and made laws to govern the con- ditions under which investors put their funds in those holding com- panies, have a right to object to the| encroachment by a which undertakes to destroy or modify | the value of those holdings by an edit of destruction such as the| “death sentence” contains. May Require Federal Charters. Similarly with respect to Federal charters for business, Congress might wish, for certain interstate commerce reasons, that are in accord with con- stitutional precedent, to require char- ters to be taken out in Washington, but this in no way could operate constitutionally so as to affect man- agement or impose burdens that relate to the operations of the corporations themselves. Justice Cardozo was careful to point out that, in the present case, the court was not concerned with the scope of power “to regulate transac- tions affecting interstate and foreign commerce” or any other delegated power, because, as each case arose, the court would be under the necessity of deciding whether the exercise of these specified powers in any way transcended the States’ rights clause | of the Constitution, tenth amendment. But, earlier in the same opinion, Mr. Cardozo made it clear, neverthe- less, that compulsory conversion of a Btate corporation into a Federal cor- poration was such a transgression of States’ the section in question enacted by Congress were upheld when State laws are inconsistent with its proe visions, then the power would extend “even to moneyed corporations gen- erally and even to other corporations if Congress chooses to convert them into creatures of the Federal Govern- ment.” Again he stated the problem thus: “The critical question is whether along with such a power (that is, Federal authority to create building and loan associations) there goes the power also to put an end to cor- porations created by the States and turn them into different corporations created by the Nation.” He answered the question in the negative. Destruction Necessity Denied. known as the rights. He declared that if | with the United States and Britain to Japan would mean Japanese domi- nation ‘of the Orient, unfavorable to Indo-China, Annam, a protectorate in the East French Indo-China, and other Prench interests as well as American and British in the Far East. Today's sessions of the conference, seeking a new agreement to replace | the expiring Washington and London | Federal bodmevsl limitations treaties, were held | behind locked doors. Best informed sources, however, dis- closed that the American and British | government and administration.” spokesmen, recognizing that the Japa- | | tion of the existing limitations sys- nese made a straightforward presen- | tation of their case, were making an | equally frank rebuttal. These replies rejected the Japanese stand on a total tonnage basis ° low as possible” for the three greates sea powers, and called for continua- tem on the ratio of five for the United States and Britain to three for Japan. | The French and Itallan attitudes became complicated, since both oppose | orously ratio percentages and have t participated thus far in the gen- | | with which said church is historically | ginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mary- conferees declares “the articles of re- ligion ;shall be those historically held in common by the three uniting churches,” Rituals to Be Harmonized. Regulations, rituals and other ac- tivities of the churches would be “har- monized and combined” by a uniting conference to be called later. Election of bishops as the principal presiding and administrative officers would 'e one of the most important functions of the jurisdictional confer~ ences. “The general conference,” the plan set out, “shall be composed of not less than 600 nor more than 800 delegates, one-half of whom shall be ministers and one-half lay members, to be elect- ed by the annual conferences.” The uniting conference would be composed of 900 delegates, “of whom 400 shall be from the Methodist Epis- copal Church, 400 from the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and 100 from the Methodist Prétestant Church.” ‘Woud Be Called in Year, ‘This conference would be called by the bishops; “within 12 months after the final approval and adoption of this plan of union by the three churches.” Among important functions of the latter conference would be the “unifi- cation, co-ordination and correlation of connectional missionary, educa- tional and benevolent boards and so- cieties of the three churches,” and to plan “the control and safeguarding of all funds and otheér property interests of the three churches and the interests of those persons and causes for which these funds were established.” The Joint Commission ot Metho- dist Union also recommended that “financial support of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church be con- tinued by those jurisdictional divisions related.” | Pennsylvania will have the largest | membership in the new church—469,- | $39.
