hand with the legislation that was nee
essary. Congress had no choice. 1t
voted the emergency banking bill
through in record time. That legisla-
ton would have taken years otherwise
to have been enacted. But congress
was scared!
Next came the authority for reor-
ganization of the government. 1t was
put through quickly because every
body in congress wanted to save
money and balance the budget. Also,
most members of congress saw nice
sideroad which they could travel and
avoid meeting face to face with the
question of reducing the payment to
veterans. They did not fancy cutting
government salaries, either. So they
thought it was fine to "let Franklin do
it." He acted promptly and with neat
ness, saving probably more than four
hundred millions year in what he
believed to be unwarranted payments
to veterans and one-fourth as much
more in other ways.
It was in this legislation as well as
in the banking act that congress be-
gan to give away. it's control. The
statement can fairly be made that the
bulk of house and senate members had
no comprehension of what was done
by the banking act, but the same can
not be said of the reorganization act.
That was simple legislation. 1t said
in plain language that the President
could make about any changes in the
structure of the government which he
deemed advisable. He was to do it by
executive order and If congress had
not acted affirmatively in prescribed
time, the executive order stood as law.
To those unacQuainted with the pro-.
cedure, the reversal of practice may
not be so apparent. But after con-
gress had delegated that authority to
the President. it can stop his action
only by a two-thirds vote. That is
difficult to obtain except in an emer-
gency.
AoSumCy IOA al tAub
congress is dissatisfied with some
move made by the
Veto PoUer President in connec-
oe Cooo~e.. ton with reorgani-
cation and It passes
a resolution setting aside that par
ticular executive order. Mere passage
of the resolution does not make it the
law of the land, for there is yet the
signature of the President to be OBJ
tanned. If the President chose to veto
the resolution, the congress then to
make its will effective must repass
that resolution by a majority of two
thirds. It thus exercises veto power,
something hitherto unknown.
Now, as TO the banking act the Pres
ident was given broad discretionary
power to reconstruct the banking sys-
TEN. True, it was an emergency. a
crisis. But that legislation went so
far as to permit the Chief Executive
to take over and operate the federal
reserve banks. By that means, it is
not beyond stretch of Imagination
that he actually can control the com.
mercial banks of the country. The tie
up between the federal reserve banks
and the privately owned commercial
hanks is so close that control of the
one opens hundreds of avenues by
which the other may be reached.
Congress can withdraw that power
by repeating the legislation. 1t is

reversal of powers that are exercised
by congress and the Chief Executive.
Actually, in the period Of a little over
two months, or since Franklin d.
Roosevelt became President, congress
has abdicated much power in favor of
the President and the President, in
turn, has given to congress a veto
power which it never has had before.
It will be recalled that the Consti-

judicial branches of our government.

The circumstances of it all are so i'm
portant and the procedure so unique
that a review of the period probably
is necessary to set out the picture.
Further, there is no doubt in the
minds of many authorities and many
students of government that the things

and in ways of which we do not
dream. From the perspective of the
present, it is made to appear that
they could not have happened except
for the crisis through which the ma

remains as fact that congress has
turned over to President Roosevelt
authority which it may recall to itself

The Constitution Still Stands

We know some good people who have been very
greatly worried what seems to them the usrrpa-
ton of the powers of Congress by the President OF
the United States. They alarmed over the extent
of the power to manage the Nations affairs which
has been delegated to the President at his request
It seems to us that Mr.. Roosevelt stated the case
very plainly III his recent radio talk. He said: The
functions Of Congress is to decide what has to be done
and to select the appropriate agency to carry out It's
will That policy it has strictly adhered to- The only
thing that has been happening has been to designate
the President of the United States as the agency to
carry out certain Of the purposes OF Congress. 1hls
vas Constitutional and is Constitutional and it is III
keeping with the American tradition.
What frightens some people is the fear that Pre-
sdent Roosevelt may use the broad powers given to
him unWisey Others are worried because the system
of letting the President be the Executive i'll fact has
been more less abandoned in the past fifty years
Congress has gradually assumed executive functions,
insisting upon doting the is and crossing the is OF
every law so that the President not only had to do
precisely what Congress told him to do but to do it in
a precise prescribed way, whether that way proved
to be effective not No business organization in
the world could make if its head had to hire
and fire buy and SELL according to fixed rules which
might have been workable when they were laid down
but which needed to be changed from day to day.
AS to the wisdom Of President Roosevelt, we have
the opinion that he is the abest politician that has
been In the White House for long time. By that we
mean that he has his ear closer to the ground than
the people Of the Nation are doing and saying and
thinking. He is not we believe likely to do anything
which will not receive the support of most of the vot
ers Of America. He may send up 'trlal balloons by
letting the report get out that he is contemplating
this that the other course Of action but if strong
public sentiment is arrayed against the proposal he
viii be the first to abandon the idea In fact, Mr.
Roosevelt has already done just that in two
instances s*##
So we aren't worrying any about the Constitution
being violated It is pretty flexible document, after
all And no Constitution ought to be allowed to stand
in the way Of anything for the welfare upon
which there is general agreement.
