against the MIRA. now are wonder

change can be accomplished in the
face of the obstacle of the Su-

Take the most important fun
damentals of the NRA-aboli-
ton of child labor. the minimum
wage. maximum hours, and the
right of collective bargaining. Most
of these already have been vetoed
individually by the Supreme
Court.
IN few civilized countries have
Il children been as ruthlessly ex-
plotted induStrially as in the
United States, and it was not I'M
til after 10 years of bitter struggle
that Congress, in 1916, passed
law abolishing child labor. The
vote was 50 TO II in the Senate
and 337 to 46 in the House.
Despite this overwhelming in
dorSement the Supreme Court
ruled il unconstitutional. And
when Congress. under the spur of
widespread Indignation. passed a
second law in 1919, the court again
tore it from the statute books.
Now, Is years later, the pro-
posed constitutional amendment
has not yet passed and child labor
was "urbed only by the now
stricken MIRA.
Or again. take the minimum
wage. Provision for such
wage-already adopted in most of
Europe-was passed by the Ore

On the strength of this stale

What few people realize is that
this right to pass upon legisla-
ton is something which the
Supreme Court arrogated to itself.
There is no word or sentence in
the Constitution which gives the
judiciary such authority.
XXTHAT the Founding Fathers
w dared not do, the Supreme
Court has consummated by steal
thy encroachment. 1t began in
1903. when Chief Justice Marshall,
an -Federalist, handed down
the opinion in the case of Mar
bury VS.. Madison that the court
had the right to void legislation
'repugnant to the Constitution"
So furious was the popular criti-
ciSm provoked by this decision
that not for 48 years did the court
again intrude upon legislative
process. Then came the bred Scott
decision and such an outburst of
animosity that a tenth seat was
created-though allowed to lapse
when feeling against the court
subsidized.
Strangely enough it was the
Civil War which followed plus
the Fourteenth Amendment,
passed to guarantee freedom to
the slaves, which has been set up
as the great bulwark by which the
Supreme Court protects the pres
ent competitive industrial system.
Such protection probably was
the last thing which Representa-
tive Thaddeus Stevens of Penn
sylvania, father of the amend
ment, wanted to do when he wrote
into the Constitution that no
state . shall abridge the priv
leges or immunities of citizens of
the United States: nor shall any
state deprive any person of life,
liberty or property without due
process of law"
It was the Fourteenth Amend
ment which the court used in its
famous Mugler VS.. Kansas decl-
sion, by which its nine aged JUS
tees set themselves up as arbiters
as 10 what laws were proper"
4 GAIN in 1890 in the case of
"A c.. NJ. & st. P. Railroad VS..
Minnesota. the court widened its
power and declared Minnesotas
attempt to regulate utilities I'M
constitutional. This caused Justice
Bradley. in a minority opinion, to
remark that the court was setting
itself up as final arbiter in the
regulation of fares and freightS
OF railroads and the charges Of
other public accommodations"
Thus the Supreme Court, Gre
ated by the Founding Fathers as
a tribunal of law. has spent its
later years in deciding whether

DUT AbySsinia has had more
Dtrouble with Italy than with
any other power. Back in 1885,
the italians began their colonial
imperialism by occupying Mass
woah.
The italian, French and British
occupations completely cut Abys-
sinia off from the sea. Today its
only access to it for trade and
travel is by means Of a railway 465
miles long built by the French
from Ads Abbaba, the AbysSinian
capital, to Djibuti in French
Somaliland on the Gulf of Alden.
BY a treaty, which the Abys-
sinians always asserted contained
a trick clause. italy assumed
protectorate over AbySsinia. IN
der King Benelik this led to an
uprising,
Italy sent a punitive force, which
was cut to pieces in the battle OF
Adowah in 1896 The Italians
pursued the war no further and
recognized Abysslnia's complete
independence But that bitter de-
feat always ranked in Italian
memories.
TN 1927 Italy sent the Duke of
Il the Abruzzi to Abyssinia and
a treaty was negotiated, which
was signed in 1928. 1t was agreed
that perpetual peace and friend
ship should exist between Italy
and Abyssinia.
They agreed to do nothing to
attack the independence of each
other. They, Furthermore, agreed
that all questions, not susceptible
of settlement by ordinary dlplo-
matte methods, should be ar
ranged by Cancellation and arbi-
tration and without recourse to
arms.

Mussolini contends Abyssinia, by
building up her armies and arma-
ments with foreign aid, has vio-
lated.
