That was | made abundantly clear by the de- | eisions announced cn Monday. Amendment Alternative. “Of course, too, there is the alterna- tive of constitutional amendment. ‘There is no reason to believe that what the Nation really, persistently and predonderantly wants cannot be obtained by this means, within a rea- sonable time. Amendment is a seri- ous matter; it unsettles some things | ing law, but upon the White House added: “It proposes to create a court whose eyes are fixed, not upon the Constitu- tion and upon the whole body of exist- and the ruling majority. She mld} the committee she believed a consti- | tutional amendment to meet the prob- lems of the times in a constitutional | way is unavoidable and would be necessary no matter who might be | appointed to the court “if they are | honest men.” ! ‘While Miss Thompson was testifying, two administration Senators charged in the Senate that power over funda- mental economic and social legislation now rests “‘upon the vacillating judg- ment and human frailty of a single Supreme Court judge.” | “Power of a Mussolini.” | Senator Minton of Indiana, a de- fender of the Roosevelt court legisla- tion, the Schwellenbach of Washing- | ton, friendly but uncommitted, told the [ Senate the court’s reversal on the | issue of minimum wage laws thoved} Associate Justice Roberts to hold too much power. Schwellenbach called it the “power of a Mussolini.” | In addition, Minton asserted Chief | Justice Hughes had “not forgotten the many lessons he learned so well in | the arena of politics.” The !ndllmnl said that Hughes had transmitted a letter to the Senate Judiciary Com- that are settled, and strikes across an intricate and complicated set-up of business, industrial and personal life. | But with care, successful amendment | can be achieved. | “The projected plan regarding the | eourt 1s objectionable for vitally im- | portant reasons. It would certnlnlyi impair the prestige and the independ- | ence of the judiciary and partially | prevent the accomplishment of the very sound purpose for which it was provided. No matter how wise and disinterested President Roosevelt might be in appointing additional members of the court, and regardless of the fact that some immediate advantage might be obtained, the present bill, 1f enacted into law, sets an example and offers a means of future manipulation of the bench with most serious con- sequences of evil.” Birthright Endangered. Dean Bates, under whom Chairman Ashurst of the committee studied law, concluded: = “For an immediate possible gain in forwarding general welfare measures, thtere is a high degree of probability that we would sell our national birth- right of a governmental structure which has been exceptionally, if not indeed uniquely, effective in main- taining genuine freedom of discussion, free enterprise, and the other im- portant civil and political rights. “The courts have made a priceless eontribution to the attainment of these results. While the judiciary have now and then been subjected to attacks, taking a long view of our history, it will be seen that the American people have had great confidence in the in- tegrity and the wisdom of their judges. Therefore, the present hue and cry which has broken out over the country would be incomprehensible to one who did not know how quickly and effer- vescently the American people will turn temporarily against an institu- | tion which, on the whole, they have | trusted and even revered. “The Supreme Court, like all other branches of our Government has made mistakes. But can any one seriously | maintain that those mistakes are more | numerous and less explainable than the mistakes made by any other de- partments of Government?” Before today’s hearing, Senator ‘Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, de- clared the measure could not get more than 35 votes in the Senate today. Expressing the belief the court’s re- versal on minimum wage legislation had strengthened the opposition to the bill, Senator Wheeler, a leader of the opposition forces, declared: “The latest claim of supporters of the bill is 51 Senate votes, I hear, but the proposed addition of six justices | to the Supreme Court could not get | more than 35 votes in the Senate to- day.” i Wheeler said Monday's court de- cisions demonstrated the need for! ‘VA | nent yachtsman of New York.
