THE EVENING Open Hearing on Black Urged Senate Responsibility in Court Appointments Cited. RY DAVID LAWRENCE. EMANDS are coming from differant parts of the coun- try for open hearings on'the question of whether Senator Riaek of Alabama should be confirmed 84 Asgociate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Telegrams are being received by va- rous Senators stating that a grave responsibility rests on the United Btates Senate | snd that it must not allow consid- erations of per- sonal or political § friendship to de- eide whether a man has proper qualifications to & #it on the highest . eourt of the land. R e 3 ponsibility of the Senate, of course, in the ap- pointing power is equal to that of the President ’ David La 5 and, while the T Cemstitution says the Chief Executive | may make nominations. such nomi- nations are valueless unless the other halt of the appointing power, namely the Senate, gives its consent. safeguard was provided by the found- ing fathers in order that the people at all times might have a check on their agents in government. It is es- pecially important in the naming of Justices to the Supreme Court, be- eause two branches of the Govern- ment—the one checking the other- are salled on to pass judgment on who shall eonstitute the personnel of the third braneh of the Government—the dicial I this were not the case any Presi- dent of the United States could fill up the Supreme Court bench with prejudiced persons who would not see equally the interesis of all the people, the minority as well as the majority, Megro as well as white man, poor im- migrant as well as blue-stocking prince of privilege. Catholic and Protestant, tha Jew and gentile, and every race and eread and class of the people. Supreme Gourt's Status. In a sense the Supreme Court is thae trustee of the liberties of all the people. Upon the nine men on the beneh is bestowed the final aeeing to it that no irresponaible ma- Jority in Congress, and no headstrong President of the United States, or no sombination of both, should be able ta put through legislation which takes trom a single citizen, for instance, the weht to worship God in his own wav or from the press the Tight to speak freely of the interests of the people. | Before Charles Evans Hughes was eonfirmed ax Chief Justice in 1930. his record was subjected by a Senate Com- mittee to the most severe scrutiny, notwithstanding the fact he had served from 1908 to 1916 with distinction as an associate justice. Also in the case of louis D. Brandeis, nominated by President Wilson in 1916, were held in which members from the bar of Massachusetts and other States asked to b heard in order to present their reasons pro and con in connec- tion with the confirmation. Still another and more conspiciious iflustration of committee deliberation ia that in which John J. Parker fig- wred. He was At the time. and still is, & member of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and was nominated in 1930 by President Hoover to be asso- eiate justice of the Supreme Court, and was rejected by the Senate after extensive hearings by the Judiciary Oommittee of the Senate. The nomi- nation finally was withdrawn and that of Owen J. Roberts substituted. Personal Ties Strong. It would be incredible if, after five months in which distinguished Demo- eratic a3 well as Republican Senators have insisted that a great principle is st stake in the proposal “to pack” the Supreme Court, that they should now &t quietlv back and acquiesce in the ~packing” just because & member of the Senate happens to be the nominee, Personal ties of the Senate are strong and it has often been referred io as en exclusive club, with certain cour- tesien from one Senator 1o another. Pt these customs. after all, are of no nonsequence in comparison with the big question which President Roose- velt himself has raised when he an- nounced in his message to the public, beginning on February 5, that he was dizsatisfied with the decisions of the Supreme Court and intended to ap- | point judges who would conform to his | own views of how the Constitution should be interpreied. Mr. Black has been urging the pass- age of the court “packing” bill and | has denounced the present Supreme €ourt in no mild language or uncer- | tain terms. He has even threatened She eourts. Omn one occasion, when it | was reported that ‘a Federal court | might rule against him and his com- | mittee for anooping into something Jike 12.000 private telegrams, he stated | publicly that he might jntroduce a | measure taking away from the lower courta the power to issue injunctions. It was an open use of potential Jegis- Jative power to intimidate the Federal | eourts in a concrete case. All ‘these things, together with the echies of Senator Black's conduct in eonnection with the unlawful seizure o the 12000 private telegrams, re ‘proper subjects of inquiry for the Sen- ate Judiciary Committee. Experience as Lawyer. Likewise, it becomes pertineni #o know what experience Senator Black has had as a lawyer, because after all eaonstitutional questions and matters eoncerning Federal legislation form enlv & amall part of the voluminous $asks of the Supreme Court. To decide the delicate questions of | equity and procedure in the lawsuits between citizens, the Nation is entitled #0 men of the highest qualifications ot the bar. At the present writing it would seem as if there were enough votes to eonfirm Mr. Black, but there iz a de- termined group in the Senate reflect- ing a Nation-wide sentiment which desires 50 get on paper officially a | record of Mr. Black's qualifications, | background and experience, together with an explanation through commit- #es questioning of some of his public | sote which have a bearing on whether | he ¥ of the right temperament to ait fudieially and impartially on the high- ost bench in the land.

What’s Back of It All Canada’s Aid to U. S. Tax Sleuths Held Reason Behind Income Levy Treaty. AY. H. R. BAUKHAGF. HEN the Senate ratified a treaty wjth Canada which took up anly four inches in the €ongressionai Record. most of the Benators, it they read the text at all,«idn’t get half the atory. It was written in invisible ink between the lines of'the covenant, and the secrets it containe are buried deep in the code mecncu of the internal revenue sleuths. The treaty was a sort of good-neighkbor gesture, a recinrocal agree- ment reducing, from 10 to § per cent, certain income taxes on Canadiane the United States in line in its treatment of Canadians with that which in this country, and Americans in Canada. Actually, the agreement brings Canada has for some time been according Americans. But all this is on the surface. What is not on the surface is & quid .pro quo that means many dollars to the United States Treasury and likewise the downfall of American tax dodgers hiding out their income in Canada In other words, Canada is help- ing us stuff a tax Joophole that we never could have plugged alone. Tt doesn’t. go into the official records, but Canadian police fre- quently get aboard an American Coast Guard cutter which is con- veniently around when the Dominion hax ronstabulary duty to be done. American operators likewise have been known to ride on the Canadian police boats, while border patrols do quite a little reciprocal sleuthing with- out trading extradition papers. But never before have Canadian officials gone as far as they are going today in giving aid and comfort to the Treasury sleuths. Private ledgers, records and accounts have been opened under the Canadian law. These documents may or may not have interested Canadian officials. But that isn't the pomt. The evidence is left convenient to | members of that American orgonization which so nimbly plucked Al | Capone from the lap of lurury and dropped him in the lap of Alcatraz. It was as a gesture of gratitude for Canada’s co-operation that Senator Pat Harrison, chairman of the Finance Committee, nurged his colleagues to approve the income tar pact with our northern neighbor, * ok ok It might be added that the pact was signed by counsellor of the State Department (then assistant secretary) R. Walton Moore, while Secretary Hull was attending the Buenos Aires Peace Conference in December. The No. 1 treaty-maker never said so officially, but it is whispered that he was none too pleased over his subordinate’s achievement. Perhaps what disturbed Secretary Hull was the fact that the other good neighbors to the South weren't getting an even break. According to the law, the income taxes of aliens in our midst are 10 per cent unless lowered by & treaty with & “contiguous nation.” Or, perhaps Secretary Hull felt that Canada, in some other re- specis, showed 100 many British preferences THEYRE WELL | WOULDNT 2o RUNIN WORRY ABOUT IT. *ox ok X Toward the back of a 33-page document which makes up the riv- ers and harbors bills ix an item overlooked by the public. This provision calls for pre- liminary examinations and surveys to be made of the “channel to and near Jefferson Islands, Chesapeake Bav, Maryland, with a view to their establishment as an aid to navigation and the establishment of a harbor of refuge.” No official comment has been obtained from the board of direc- tors. of which Senator Key Pittman is chairman, but it has been #uggested that. at the recent Jejferson Island party. there may have been difficulty encountered in navigation. But who needs the refuge? - o x There's & scandal among the bleating herds of the Southwest, where the Navajos watch their flocks (or let the squaws do it), according to Sheepman Andrew Bates who blew in from points west to talk to the office of Indian Affairs this week. He’s just made a visit to the Southwest after an absence of 35 vears, and he's worried. He's afraid the noble Red man hasn't been as particular about the social habits of his woolly passessions as he should. He savs that there has been cross-breeding and he's afraid the wool isn't what it used to be. And what, he asks, would we do for Navajo rugs if the famous Navajo sheep started pulling short wool over the weavers' sves? At the Indian Affairs office, they aren't worried. They have super- vised some cross-bresding of the Navajos’ famous sheep. But thiz has been done. according to them, to strengthen and lengthen the wool that goes into thos# attractive rugs that decorate your Summer cottages.

If there is any widespread assumption that Senator Black's relation to Mr. Roosevelt 15 that of rubber stamp, hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee are called for, if only for the purpose of doing justice to Senator Black. In appoint- | ing Senator Black, Mr. Roosevelt, in effect, reaches out to the furthermost | fringe of the radicals and says to them and to the country: “I embrace you: here I stand with you.” Politieally, for the future Mr. Roose- velt's appoiniment of Senator Black means that the President. with respect to the campaign year of 1940, will try to dominate the Democratic National Convention in the interest of nomi- nating a radical for President, an equivalent of Senator Black Mr Roosevelt's challenge and defiance 1s as loud as a dvnamite explosion.
