search. But when some of them start
ed to put up fight in AAA to keep
the consumers end up, they were
quickly purged from the administra-
ton. The program has been to give
as quick an impression as possible of
increased income to business, farmers
and labor, and if higher costs largely
nullified the rise for the latter two
groups to hush it up.
Whether the new Consumers Divi-
sion (headed by Walten H. Hamilton)
of the emasculated NRA will be hush
ed up also, remains to be seen. Any
sort Of consumers protection, even if
it goes no further than research, is
bound to jar the sensitive corns of
special business interests.
Organized labor is being circularized
by Hamilton with letters that point
out that higher wages don't mean much
if they are accompanied by increased
living costs. In contrast to the gem
Sldl pOHAlIo VI lHe dullllllSll dllOliy "
increase prices by curtailing produc-
ton, Hamilton declares that "the Con-
sumers Division is interested in a
greater abundance Of goods and low
er prices" AT the same time he as
serts that "cheapness must not be
sought at the expense of labor"
Labor, in fact, has an obvious in
terest in plentiful production and low
prices. With industry in the control
|of private profit-makers, however,
many unions have been led to endorse
the price-raising production curtail-
ments OF employers, for fear lest wages
will be cut if profits cannot be main
tanned.
Labor statemanship here confronts
a serious problem of reconcihng
such individual union policies with the
general workers interest in lower liv-
ing costs. It is particularly handicapp-
ed in this country by the lack of sin
gle party of the workers to unity la
boris interests in the political field, and
by the weakness of the consumers CO.
operative movement.
Montana labor news., 1935-12-19

The problem seems to call for a
scissors-lke approach, from two ap--
parently opposite directions at the same
time Insistence on increased wages for
workers and better prices for farmers,
coupled with just as vigorous insistence
on lower prices for consumers and no
curtailment Of production.
This would constitute a squeeze, if
not defenite cutting in, on certain
elements, it is true But instead of
the present squeeze on workers, farm
ers and the middle classes II caught
between low incomes and high living
costs ~ the squeeze would be on the
profit interests which are least nee
essary socially
Tariff concessions granted to Cana
da under the pact will have to be ex-
tended to other countries under most
favored nation treaties except for
Germany, which renounced her trade
treaty with the United States. But
trade with other countries in the pro-
ducts involved is not very extensive.
More important are the long-range
international implications. The Cana
dian Liberal party is tradtionally clos
er to the United States in its orienta-
ton than the strongly pro-British Con-
servatiyes. The speedy consummation
of the treaty with the United States
was a direct result of the election vic
tory Of the Liberals, who also stand for
lower tariffs in general
Momentarily, however, Britain is not
particularly worried by this closer
drawing together of Canada and the
United States. The Ottawa agreement
still maintains a preferential position
for British empire trade, and Anglo
American rivalries are for the time be-
ing overshadowed by a common con-
cern over Japanese aggression in the
Far East.

THE TRADE PACT
WITH CANADA

WASHINGTON-(FP)-The trade
pact with Canada has been made
party political issue, as in fact almost
anything else that happens will be,
from now on until elections. The De-
mocrats point with pride to it, while
the Republicans view it with alarm -
which also was to be expected
Lowering the tariffs, and thereby the
barriers to trade, between the United
States and Canada means more busin
ess for American manufacturers who
can find a northern market, and for
Canadian lumber and agricultural in
terests given some chance in the United
States. By the same token it means
less protection for budding manufac-
turing industries in Canada and for
certain lumber and agricultural inter-
ests in the United States.
The kicks from lumber and dairy
men and others particularly affected
were registered without delay, and
loudly re-echoed by Republican lead
ers. But other political observers, less
personally interested, were still inclin-
ed to think that the treaty is a smart
piece OF business; that general benefits
in increased trade will outweigh tenn
porary and limited disadvantages to
special interests and that politically the
administration will count it as feath-
er in its cap.
Lowering tariffs has a tendency to
lower prices for consumers and, with
elections coming on, the administration
is showing some concern about its re-
putation for priceraisng. Up until quite
recently the consumer has been one
of the New Deals forgotten men.
So-called consumers representatives
in the AAA and the NRA have been
allowed office space, stationery and the
opportunity for little harmless re-

Welfare Clauses Before The
Supreme Court

The brief defending the constitutionality of
the Agricultural Adjustment Act filed with the
United States Supreme Court by Attorney Gen
eral Cummings and eight other Government law
yers plants the Act squarely on the general well
fare clauses of the Federal Constitution This
action places the power of Congress to enact
legislation designed to benefit the masses defin-
tely before the Nations high judicial authority
and calls for positive and plain Interpretation.
The business and professional men who wrote
the Constitution in 1887 mentioned the general
welfare in two places. The Preamble reads
1--WE, the people of the United States in
der to form a more perfect Union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, PROMOTE THE
GENERAL WELFARE, and secure the bless
ings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,
do ordain and establish this Constitution for
the United States of America"
The second provision relative to the general
welfare is in paragraph of section g. regard
ing the powers of Congress, which reads:
81. The Congress shall have power:
ITO lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts,
defense and excises, to pay the debts and
PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE
AND GENERAL WELFARE of the United
States; but all duties, imposts, and excises shall
be uniform throughout the United States"
The Governments brief brings into the lime
light again the significant statement, frequently
made, that the Constitution is what the Supreme
Court justices say it is In view of the fact that
Supreme Court opinions are determined by a
majority vote, it would be more correct to say
that the Constitution is what came of the Sup
rene Court Justices say it is, for very rarely do
all of the members of the Court agree on the
rights Of the masses under our fundamental law.
This point is stressed in that portion of the
Government AAA brief which contends that the
Supreme Court should interpret broadly the gen
eral welfare clauses of the Constitution. "The
adoption at this late day of the narrower con
structon," the brief says, would result in grave
dislocations and would measurably retard the adj
vancement of public education the sciences and
social welfare"
The Importance which the Government places
on broad" Interpretation of the general well
fare clauses emphasizes what students of the
Constitution have long known though not fire.
quently expressed, namely, the rights of the peo-
pie under the Constitution are not determined
by the letter of the Constitution itself but by
the ideas which judges personally hold relative
to the great question of the fundamental rights
which the American people are entitled to en-
joy.
In the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the ques-
tion before the Supreme Court is legislation to
raise the economic condition of the farmers from

produced. We even get involved in
disputes internationally because of
some of our combines wanting selling
advantages. Consumer cooperation
is solution to this evil and should be
encouraged. The private profit mo-
tive should be replaced by the coop
erative motive of service"

Shortly after the initial call

steadied. The decline was due to
further easiness in Liverpool and
to growing belief in trading cir
