Judge Held Basic

The Journal says it is a fair in
ference that the Supreme Court
of the United States will hold to
the same views with Justice Cox,
who is quoted as follows:
"In the law it Is recognized
that necessity cOnfers many
rights and privileges that with
out the necessity might not be
conferred. Self-preServation is
the first law, and this principle
in some degree at least, seems
to extend to governments.
There is another maxim that
the safety of the people is the
supreme law and all these
must be considered in dealing
with emergencies. All laws, in
Guiding the Constitution, should
be read in emergencies in the
light of the law of necessity"
Congress declared the fact Of a
national emergency and passed
the recovery act to deal with it.
and it seems to be generally held
that no judge is likely to go be.

tional legislative authority for q
