TRADE WORRIES
IRELAND
Br International News servlce


DUBLIN. Jan. 1-Public opin-
ion in Ireland is becoming increas-
ingly anxious about the long and
continual decline in the country's
exports and the increasing balance
of imports over exports.
The recent publication of official
statistics show that for the first
eight months of the present year
an adverse balance of over $70,-
600 900 in the Free State trade, as
against $60,O00,OOO for the CORE
spending period of 1924.
The value of the exports of cat
tie, sheep, pigs, and poultry has
fallen in the eight months period
from O,O0O 900 to 100000 and
the drop in the value of these i'm
ports account for about four-fifths
of the Free States total decrease
of exports during that period.
Export Of eggs and fish show
some increase, but bacon and butt
ter have dropped considerably. Elk
ports to Britain dropped by nearly
$25, 900 900, but exports to other
countries increased little.
The Free State farmers have be-
gun 70 take a serious outlook on
this matter, and strong representa-
tions to the government are being
contemplated. They propose that
an import duty of cents a pound
should be put on all imported hams,
bacon and lard, and that the reve-
nue. from this import should be dis
tributed as grants for the erection
Of piggeries and bacon factories.
3 1t is probable that much will be
heard of this matter during the
present session of the Dali.

1.-THE death OF some of our most tai
ented jurists has been attributed to
this location of the courtroom, and
1t would be but common justice In
congress to provide better accommo-
! dations for its sittings"
Finally, In 1859, 1t was proposed
that the old senate chamber be used
adjoining Office rooms. The sugges-
tion was severely criticized, one sena-
tor remarkipg, Now | would like to
know what use there can be for four
teen rooms for the Supreme court
The proposal carried, however.
The old chamber, now the court
room, Is indeed historic. There, on
May IL, 1916. the senate passed "An
act providing for the prosecution Of
the existing war between the United
States and the Republic of Mexico"
There, on March Z, 1850, Webster rose
and began, "Mr. President, | wish to
speak today, not as a Massachusetts
man, nor as northern man, but as
an American. / speak today
for the preservation of the Union"
One of the most dramatic scenes
witnessed in the chamber occurreA
when Representative Brooks of South
Carolina approached Charles Sumner
of Massachusetts. as the latter was
seated at his desk after the days pro-
ceedings. Referring to an address de-
livered by Sumner on slavery, Brooks
said, you have libeled my state and
/ feel it to be my duty to punish you
for it,
with a heavy cane. One who testi-
fed at the resulting inquiry re-
marked, 1.-THE same ticks ON an ordi-
nary skull would have smashed right
through" Sumner apparently had no
ordinary SKULL and he survived to
take prominent part in the bitter
battles of reconstruction.
The visitor to the courtroom today
notices nine busts of the former chief
justices ranged about the wall. One
is of John Marshall, of whom 1t is
said that his briIliance was only ex-
ceeded by his acknowledgement he
often took his place on the bench
with burrs sticking to his clothes, that
he pitched quoits and went to market
with basket on one arm.
In everything except adequate sur
roundings the Supreme court has been
enlarged. The number of justices has
risen from six to nine. The salary has
increased from $4,000 for the chief
justice and $500 for the associate
justices to $4,000 and S14,5OO. respec-
lively The lumber Of cases has risen
tremendously. In the early days the
court frequently adjourned for lack
Of business and for many years there
was very limited number Of cases,
while at the beginning of the October
1929 term there were 1909 cases on
the docket.

an almost unnoticed doorway. Over
1t is a shield of the United States.
Inside this doorway is the court
room of the United States Supreme
court. 1t is much like any other
courtroom. Behind the long bench In
the fore part of the room sit the JUS
tees in comfortable leather chairs,
with the chief justice in the middle.
In front of the bench are places tor
counsel. Toward the rear Is serni-
circle of seats for visitors. The rooms
capacity is scarcely $50 persons.
Facing the courtroom. on the oppo-
site side of the corridor, are two
rooms occupied by the clerk of the
court and his aids. Here are found
the names of those admitted to prac-
tice before this tribunal. Next to
these rooms, on the north, Is the rob
Ing room, lined with portraits, includ-
ing several of John Marshall. Here
the justices go to don their robes be-
fore filing into the courtroom, in the
order of their appointment. behind
the chief justice.
Below in the basement is con-
fereIce room, where the justices
gather to discuss cases. Because of
lack Of other space, some 10000 vol
umes are crowded into this room.
Across the hall is the library of the
court.
The present facilities are utterly
inadequate. There is not even enough
room for each justice to have a pri-
vate office. Justice Sutherland and
Justice Sanford have a room at the
capitol and Justice Stone has one In
the senate office building, but the
other members of the court maintain
their Offices at their private resi-
dences
The Supreme court first met in New
York city in February, 1890. No bust
ness appeared and nothing happened
for considerable time other than
the admission of a few counselors.
After two terms in New York city,
the government having been trans
ferred to Philadelphia, the court also
met there.

sight. That room in the capitol was

found in the annals of Congress- of
January 81 1901, sandwiched between
items relating to the erection of

The court moved about to various
quarters in the capitol, for most Of

bonds of an intensely historic past,
has been outgrown.
Throughout America the small-town
courthouse is generally the show place
of the community but in Washington
the visitor has difficult time in To-
eating the nations courtroom. And
when it is found it proves not only
physically unattractive but also in
adequate for the purpose it must
serve.
This situation will be changed II the
next congress sees fit to provide an
appropriation for Bfw temple of jus
tice of which the nasian esn be proud.
The proposed site abss ssHsB across the
plaza east OF the capiseA ensEiy visible
through towering trees from the halls
of congress. This site at present is
occupied by an apartment building
and the "Old Capitol" structure, now
headquarters of the National Wom-
ans party.
On this historic spot 1t is proposed
to erect a building which will be ade-
quate for the needs and in harmony
with the dignity of the United States
Supreme court. The late Henry Ba-
con had drawn the plans for the new
structure before his death early in
1924. Bacon's masterpiece is the Lin
coin memorial. After finishing it he
declared there was only one more
work he would like to do-a building
fer the Supreme Court of the United
States
In addition to the courtroom the
new building will provide ample
space for the private offices of the JUS
tees, facilities for the various court
assistants, adequate library space,
and more suitable accommodation for
the reception of counsel who come to
appear before this high tribunal.
Where is the Supreme court housed
now? Walking north along the capt.
toll corridor from the house of repre-
sentatives, one first comes to a pas
sageway guarded by two busts, one
of James r. Mann and the other of
Champ Clark, former speaker OF the
house. A few feet farther is Statuary
hall, filed with it's statues of Ameri-
cans who have been deemed worthy
Of such honor. Next is the rotunda
under whose magnificent dome you
find guides prociaiming the merits of
the large paintings portraying the bap-
tism of Pocahontas and the surrender
of CORVALLIS at Yorktown. On
