NOW It's BdIOney for Gold

DUT, instead of saying that Uncle Sam was short
ID in the reach and couldn't pay, the majority
periodically took rhe rap and sought roundabout
way to the conclusion that he didn't have to pay at
least until he willing and better able. II is
wonder then that the majority judgment caused
so much confusion, considering that the majority
had the far difficult task of trying to write out
the damned spot. The minority. the other hand,
Justice McReynolds speaking. had only to point to
the damned spot and say, But it's still there"
And sure you are born, there the damned
spot is.
Certainly, in all the editorial and other criticism
which has been directed at Justice McReynOlds,
body has yet undertaken to refute what he found in
the bonds, the main objection being that he WASN'T
a good fellow But it no fault of his that the
defendant over-promsed and finally had to offer
settlement on the basis Of baloney for gold.
If it is just pals that wanted on the Supreme
Court bench, with disposition to give break to
good guy who is up against it but in there hustng
the best he to get along, there should also be
established official roster of the good guys who
are entitled to these breaks for the guidance of the
honorable court Under the existing scheme however,
the justices are supposed to call them exactly as
they see them and the minority certainly pre-
cisey what any one else may see who can establish
relations with bond long enough to read the text.

Nothing Has H0ppened

Y HE people on the gold side were bound to be in
il wrong sentimentally the moment they asked
for their gold There is disposition to regard the
man who wants his gold a greedy cruel being
with cold and scrawny fingers chuckling his
hoard by the light of a candle in miser's hut at
night.
The fact is however, that people who bought
gold bonds with their savings, people who bought
insurance out of their earnings in honest frugal
attempt to provide against their future find them
selves on the gold side in large numbers and now
find, also, that they can't collect what they were
promised by their government.
1t took courage to decide either way with dis

has given no indication of warm

But having cracked down on
labor by renewing the auto code

THE House Judiciary Commit
l. tee is quietly preparing to
launch a sweeping investigation
of a number of Federal judges.
On its confidential list of
scrutiny is at least one Justice of
the District of Columbia Supreme
Court.
The idea of an exhaustive in
quiry Of the Federal bench is not
new.
When Mayor Fiorello La Guar
dia retired from the House in
1888 he had spent several years
gathering evidence and testimony
against a number of jurists in
various parts of the country.
In addition, the Justice Depart
ment has made a number OF Sc
cret investigations of Federal
judges This data, reported to con-
sist of more than 10000 pages Of
written material, is now reposing
in the custody of the United
States Supreme Court.
Chairman Hatton w. Summers
of the House Judiciary Committee
has been urging a drastic reor-
ganization of the Federal judiciary
and is pressing the investigation
plan with the idea that it will aid
in obtaining the reform legisla-
ton he thinks necessary.

After Dorogobouje the army
continued its advance toward
Moscow; the Emperor with Muret,
Davout and Ney led the center,
with Poniatowski on the right,
and the army of Italy on the left

up the pursuit theoretically.

rigid. They carried crews of from
two to four. Every American who
crossed the channel between Eng
land and France, or the North
Sea to Holland, Denmark or even
to Bergen, surely recalls them on
the lookout for U-boats.
"THESE little dirigibles we're
L able to hover, drift with the
air currents and remain in the
air for many hours without re-
fueling. They could spot enemy
submarines beneath the surface
and give the alarm. That was
largely their function. To this ex-
tent they were indeed the eyes
of the navy and of the merchant
marine, too.
THE other type-the rigid yep
pelins-did not play vital role
in the war. True, they raided
London and other cities in Great
Britain and along the French
coast. But aside from the effect
at first, they became less and less
effective as defense against them
improved.
Toward the end of the war it
was virtually suicide for the Ger
mans to fly over London. One
raid over France ended in whole
sale disaster. Several crashed in
a single expedition. The weather
did it.
"Piecing these things together,
it seems to me there is a valuable
lesson. We might retrace our
steps little way and experiment
more intensively with the blimp
and improvements thereon. AS
we learn better how to maneuver
with these, we might go forward
to bigger things.

lighter than-air craft. That seems
to me to be lacking in spirit.
Suppose the mariners of 200 years
ago had abandoned the sea be-
cause the little ships they knew
at that time could not survive
the worst storms.
Maybe we have gone too fast.
Maybe we have attempted too
much. With all their skill, the
officers and men of the American
Navy, like their brothers abroad,
really know comparatively little
about dirigible handling. How
could they? You don't take a
man with just a little experience
in navigating a small yacht and
make him the skipper of a trans
Atlantic liner like the Queen
Mary. To be trusted with a job
like that, a seaman must have a

25, the Empress fete had been an
advent of quite exceptional bril-
liancy. A stormy day had ended
in a cloudless night, and the
Trianons had been the scene of a
splendid gala of music and dane
ing.
The organizers Of the fete had
made the most of their opportu-
mites; naturally picturesque, the
lakes and islands of the park had,
under their establishment, &C
quired an increment of beauty.
A play written by Alissan de
Chazet and entitled 1.-THE Gar
dener of Schonbrunn" had been
followed by ballet at the Trianon
Theater, in which the pick of the
artists of the Opera had taken
part. The gala had ended with
cantatas by Paer, and banquet.
Now all was changed. Alone,
the Empress wandered in the des-
olate avenue of the Trianon, seek

scorched by the blazing summer,

The rebuff on the World Court,
the weeks of wrangling in the
Appropriations Committee over
the work-relief bill, and the omin-
Gus threats against the Admin
istration's banking measure have
not only irritated the President.
but made him uneasy about the
entire congressional situation.
House leaders have warned him
that unless something was done
to curb the Senate there was
serious danger that the spirit OF
revolt would spread to the House.
But attractive as the suggestion
is. it has several drawbacks.
Chief among them is the fact
that RooSevelt's Senate advisers
are strongly against it. Wilson'S
tragic experience in trying TO
tame the chamber is still very
fresh in their minds.
Furthermore. as Senate leaders
have emphasized at the White
House. Democrats. not Republl
cans. are causing all the trouble.
So for the time being they are
counselling patience and soft
treading.

THERE is a lot more behind

Administration than appears on
the surface.
Actually the labor leaders are
not quite as miffed as they pre-
tend TO be.
There is more than a little be-
hind-the-SceneS evidence that they
are cannily exploiting the rift be-
tween them and the President in
the hope of obtaining legislative
concessions at this session OF
Congress.
The Dig thing desired by the A.

ner labor disputes bill.
