DO found in the objections OF those Who opposing
II is inherently weak because II Is substantial and
permanent The purpose Is good, tho design is well
intended but the effort is without positive and as
sured strength. simply because II is OF tnat character
that we may appropriately call II a policy. II is
OF the matters that belong 10 the realm OF well defined
and positive law, and not TO administrative policy,
and hence II Is lnat the opponents OF the policy mud
so much comfort ana encouragement in the repeated
declaration that there ID no warrant OF for such
rules and regulations"
