SUBVERTING THE CONSTITU.
TON.

In his recent speech at James
town, Judge Parker perfomed a
great public service by analyzing
the fundamental policy Of the
Roosevelt regime. He quoted from
the text of the Presidents s Har-
risburg speech the words: "We
| need, through executive action,
through legislative action and
through judicial Interpretation and
construction OF law, to increase
the power of the Federal Govern
ment. III we fail thus to increase
it we show cur impotence. I"
Judge Parker's principal objection
to this revolutionary, not TO say
reasonable policy, was in substance
that it is brazen, unequivocal
proposal to substitute for the Con-

cessive expansions of the commerce
t,lause of the Constitution, might
cover almost every incident OF
productive and creative energy.
Not by a constitution amendment
but through the concerted action

Of the Executive, the Legislative
and the Judicial departments of the
Federal Government. That it was,
