U.S.. Officers TACKLE
QUEER Legal PROBLEM
Will Disobey-Law Requiring Them to
Lock Barn Door After Steed
Is Stolen.

Department of Justice officers are
wrestling with one of the most remark
able legislative deliverances IN the MS
tory Of Congress. This is in connection
with the purpose OF Solicitor Geherai
John W. Davis to file a petition Tor
writ of certiorari to review the recent
decision Of the Customs Court IN the
Ger cent discount clause Of the last tarln
act This decision, IL il stands. VIII re-
ouire~ the government to repay 10 ih-
porters about SO 900 900 held to have oeen
Illegally collected. The Solicitor General
II is understood. will file the petition
asking for the writ on June II II ~ t az
be made ready by that time. ms Is etie
last day on which the petition may De
filed in the present term
The queer thing about the case Is trat
the mandate of the Customs Court mas
not been issued, and that according 10
law such action as MI Davis conlem-
plates must be taken at any tune "itnin
sixty days after the msnoate issues.
This, II would seem. is equivalent 10
nroviso that relief shall not be sought
until II is too late or to quote the Ia
mflfar saying. Lock the barn door after
the steed is stolen"
In taking this step, the Solicitor Cen
eral is going to ignore the strange word
ing of the statute, apparently. He will
not wait upon tne HldIludtc- rely "s uPoh
the highest court to take the view that
Congress could not have meant to enact
such law 1t is a case where the let
ter killeth but the spirit giveth life" the
Solicitor General believes.
Happily, Uncle Sam had demonstrated
more than once that he is a -aw unto
himself on occasion. In the present COM
plication nobody believes that the dis
bursting officers Of the Treasury will obey
the mandate of the Customs Court, even
II one issues. In that case the importers
would get their relief apparently in their
effort to compel obedience to the man
date only through.a writ of mandamus.
To obtain that takes time. But the gov
eminent officers do not believe they will
be put to the necessity of disobeyins
mandate OF the Customs Court.
