ROOSEVELT ASKED FOR UN.
LIMITED POWER

President Roosevelt has, to some ex-
tent, startled the nation in asking for
certain governmental power This al
most unlimited power was voted to
the president by our national congress.
This is unprecedented in the time of
peace. Of course, it is generally con-
coded that the public has sanctioned
these great emergency movements by
the president, to the extent, that even
those in Congress who desired to object
the transfer for Capitalization of such
power to the president, they have
needed. The first move by the presi-
dent was request for power to close
the banks of the country After this
power was granted there has been
continuously certain powers granted to
the president in order that the coun-
try might be helped in this great cris-
is.
A friend remarked a few days ago,
that the president has power to do
time, and if he did not have it he
could get it. However, we wish to call
our readers attention to the fact that
few days ago thousands of citizens,
according to reports, made prepare
ton to march to Washington to petit
ton our president of the nation to do
ha
Of Scottsboro Alabama, however this
happens to be power that the presi-
dent did not have and could not get.
We will probably have to wait until
large number of whites are incarcera-
ted, such as the nine Scottsboro boys,
and then, there may be a possibility
as well as probability of such power
being granted the president of the
United States to help some poor in
nocent Negro. We are of the opinion
that the president can get power to do
whatever he desires. He has at least
gotten it thus far, but, because of Ger
tain States rights granted the states Of
the union, the Scottsboro case is one
that lies wholly within the jurisdiction
OF the state of Alabma
1t seems as if the president can get
emergency power to do anything that
he desires except to see to it that black
men get justice. Let us hope that
president Roosevelt is really sincere
in all of his action; let us hope that he
has the interest of humanity at heart;
let US hope that he is not sentimental;
let us hope that there is no race pre-
JUDGE even in his Inconsistencies;
let us hope that Mr.. Roosevelt will in
the end prove himself to be Am a
mong men. Mr.. Roosevelt, you have got
A big chance to prove your interest in
mankind in the Scottsboro case.

to down Is cent.
Aside from the uncertainty con-
corning President Roosevelt's posi-

was added to the grain situation
yesterday when an announcement
from Washington said that the gov
eminent proposed a processing tax

ditional funds for relief. Liverpool

Liquidation discouraged holders of
corn yesterday and at The close
