The supreme court Monday up
held fixing of prices as part Of
recovery legislation in an opin-
ion which swept aside as unten-
able many. of the arguments
levelled against this form of gov

Coming at the start Of a ses-

many recovery policies under the
scrutiny of the court, the opinion
was hailed by many as an as
surance of judicial support for
major new deal policies.
The court ruled that the fixing

corning the harbor improvements.
He deprecated reports that they

he said, could not navigate the

bors had to be made deep enough
to accommodate larger ships to
develop trade.
Delegates during the tense ses-
sion wanted to know why Japan
gave subsidies for airports in the
South Seas and why these ar
ports should not be open to AVA

asked why destroyers of all coun-
