Ave were not able to get it in

Q-Who named the person to hold
the money in escrow?
"A friend of the boys advised us
that DR.. --, who had been &
surgeon in both his family and ours,

despairing over the belief that we
were not to realize our objective,
left the Jail and went home.

for its continuance. Economists and
political scientists may have criticized
this or that policy, but they have gen.
orally conceded the far-reaching gains
that may be realized In carrying for
ward the principles and purposes Of
cooperation, in the adjustment Of
producing and consuming power and
in the elimination Of unfair competi-
ton.
The last stronghold Of an irrecon-
cilable opposition appears to lie in
legalistic arguments over the powers
Of the Federal Government. Here
again public opinion is confused by
sound and fury emanating from the
bench and bar, instead Of light. When
judges and lawyers loudly proclaim
that the power of the Federal Govern
ment to regulate interstate commerce
does not authorize the regulation OF
manufacturing or mining or trade
within a State, they are not stating
the law. They are simply dodging the
law, and repudiating the express and
repeated rulings of the Supreme Court
of the United States.
Law Absolutely Settled.
The law has been absolutely settled
long ago that the Federal Government
can regulate trade and commerce
within State whenever that Is nee
essary for the protection and regula-
ton Of interstate commerce. The &C
tivities of organized labor IN mining
coal before interstate commerce began,
and in cutting stone after interstate
commerce had ended, have been held
subject to Federal control. Would any
one venture to argue that strike can
be prevented by the Federal Govern
ment, but that the conditions which
produce that strike canot be remedied.
Let the Supreme Court itself an
swer. I quote from recent opinion
(29l U. S., 293):
But we need not decide when in
terState commerce ends and that
which is intrastate commerce begins.
The control Of the handling, the sales
and the prices at the place of origin,
before the interstate journey begins,
or in the State of destination, where
the interstate movement ends, may
operate directly to restrain and mo-
nopoliZe commerce. Intrastate
acts will be enjoined wherever neces-
sary or appropriate for the protection
of interstate commerce against any
restraint denounced by the act"
The quibblers and evaders of the
law should not be allowed to confuse
opinion as to the power of the Fed
eral Government to restrain unfair
competition in business practices or
in labor conditions for the protection
of interstate commerce. There Is no
question of the power. There Is only
the question of how and where that
power should be most widely exercised.
That is a question that cannot be
answered by demagogic appeal to
prejudice or class interest, or by the
wiSe-cracking of national comedians.
1t cannot be answered by personal at
tackS In the language OF the bar room.
Progress Under N. r. A.
1t cannot be answered soundly by
emotional exhortations to protect the
liberty Of men to make money out OF
the sweat and sorrow of underpaid,
overworked men and women. 1t can
not be answered soundly by the
clamor of monopolists to be free from
governmental interference, or by the
wailing of sweatshop operators for the
same liberty.
1t can be answered soundly only by

a sober. sensible review of the great
progress made under the N. r. A., and
by gathering together the progressive
leadership of the Nation in a common
purpose to support the program of the
President, who has led the way out
Of the depression and has pointed out
where the road leads on to a lasting
recovery.
When men Of honest purpose and
genuine devotion to the public good
begin to close their ranks against the
pulling and hauling of the Old Guard
and the destroyers on either side Of
them, when they begin to pass the
word on down the line: Fall in be-
hind the President. Steady aheadi"
there will run through the Nation a
thrill of confidence that will restore
comfort and security to millions Of
troubled homes. May that day not be
long delayed.
