Friends and foes Of the New Deal
hail the decision of the United States
Supreme Court against the Govern
ment in the oil industry case as
timely guide post for Congress in con-
sidering further N. R. A. legislation.
There is certainly no decision,
saws the Milwaukee Journal, "as to
whether the industrial recovery act
itself is valid, delegating, as it does,
the power of creating codes and max
ing agreements to promote industrial
recovery and meet an emergency
What is indicated is that the law as
a whole, when the time comes, will
be tested by the standard of whether
the making of these codes was an ad-
ministrative function, properly dele
gated, or was, in fact, a legislative
function that Congress could not
delegate"
"The decision does not mean that
the court is ditching the New Deal, 3"
however, in the opinion Of the Buff
faIo Times, which feels that lit can
mean that the court is friend of the
New Deal, just as the traffic officer
who raises a warning hand is the pro-
tector of both the driver and of the
public" The Charleston Is. c. Eve
ming Post also holds that ''the ruling
does not promise anything like a
smashing Of the New Deal, nor will
such an effect come from any later
finding of the court on the issues which
will be presented as to various phases
of the New Deal" The Youngstown
Vindicator states that those who be-
lieve We cannot return to the unre-
strained individualism Of 1929 will look
to Congress during the remainder of
President RooSevelt's term to clarity
the purposes it sought to assert i'll the
N. I. R. A."
IF the N. R. A. is trying to accom-
plish worthwhile reforms in manner
prohibited by the Constitution" de-
clares the Morgantown wv. Va) Do
minion-News, the sooner that fact is
discovered the sooner can other-per-
missible-methods be found and en-
ployed."
Various newspapers interpret the
significance of the decision in its rela-
ton to the administration. "It should
deeply reaSsure all these earnest citi-
ZenS who have feared the New Deal
was shooting the good old Constitution
full of holes" says the Wall Street
Journal, while the San Jose (Calif)
Mercury Herald, observing that the
court was almost unanimous, con-
cludes that liberals and conservatives
stand together on the proposition
that the constitutional provisions sep
arating the powers of Government
shall be upheld" The Cincinnati
Times-Star observes that 'the stick
ing point is that in practice such a
grant to the White House as that in
N. I. r. A. bestows wide legislative
powers on any one of a number of
subordinates.
"The decision comes at an oppor-
tune moment" thinks the Nashville
Banner. Legislation Of a far-reach-
ing character, dealing with both the
legislative and executive departments,
is being fashioned and will be laid be-
fore Congress. 1t is clear that this
legislation should not only be eco
nomically and socially sound, but that
it should not be violative of the pro-
visions and spirit of the Nations Or
ganic law. The Supreme Court has

the Government and the people"
That the ruling was needed for
guidance is the Judgment Of the
Charleston CW. Va Daily Mail, the
Green Bay (Wis) Press Gazette, the
Gary 1nd) Tribune, the CO.
lumbus (Ohio) Dispatch, the Rock
Island Argus, the Providence Bulle-
tin, the Philadelphia Evening Bulle-
tin, the New York Sun, the Grand
Rapids Press and the Lincoln (Nebr)
State Journal. The Rockford Regis
ter-Republic ventures a guess that
the justices are of mind to check
completely the wholesale delegation
of legislative powers by Congress to
the President" and the Akron Bea-
con Journal suggests that the coun-
try may not have to wait for an act
of Congress to reform governmental
tyranny"
THE opinion of some New Dealers
that the act can be redrafted to recon-
cile this feature with the Constitu-
tion," ayers the Indianapolis News,
docs not seem to be sustained in the
ruling. The only means of circum-
venting it would seem to be legisla-
tive action on all the 5000 executive
orders issued under the N. l. r. A,
and that might raise equally peril
nent questions relating to the power
of Congress"
The maintenance of the checks and
balances of government is impressive
to the Muncie Evening Press. the Mil

Conviction that something now

More German Plebiscites?

WHAT might be called an epidemic
of plebiScitiS has broken out in vari-
GUS corners of Europe adjacent tn
Germany as the aftermath Of the
Reich's triumph in the Saar. That
the outbreak is not unwelcome in
Berlin IS evident from a statement
by DR.. Wilhelm F'rick, minister of
the interior and new power alongside
the Hitler throne. I'm these plebiscite
days." DR.. Frick says, 'our national
duty is to remember that beyond the
frontiers there are still many millions
of Germans, just as loyal as the
Saarlanders, but who. despite an al
legged victory of the right of self
determination at the end of the war,
without being asked, have been iso-
lated or placed under foreign rule"
The latest plebiscite talk concerns
the territory of Memel, s43 SQUARE
miles in area and with a population
Oh some 10000. Lying along the
Baltic and abutting the northern
border of East Prussia, it was de-
tached from Germany by the Treaty
OF Versailles and in 1924 was in
corporated by the League of Nations
IN Lithuania. Its German ponuIa-
latlon received a large degree of
political and financial autonomy and
In May, 1888, German Nazis can
tured control of the Memel munich
pal government at the local election.
since then there has been an in
cessant movement to reannex all of
Memel to the Reich. During the late
week end the Nazi-controlled Ger
man press launched an only thinlv
yelled campaign designed to regain
the territory by the same methods
that restored the Saar. The boast is
openly made that a plebiscite in Me-
mel would duplicate the result in the
Saar. Meantime passions are famed
by recrimtnatory allegations that both
the Lithuanians and the Germans
are concentrating military forces near
the disputed area.
Last week the world heard Of Dem

to recover Schleswig from the Danes

Similar agitation is rampant in Ger
man regions of Czechoslovakia. and
OF course, the longing to acquire
Austria endures, with revised sug-
gestions, following the Saar, that the
Austrians be given like opportunity
TO express themselves. Nazis in the
Free City Of Danzig, which they con-
trol locally, are also plebiscite-minded.
Having successfully abolished repa-
rations' nullif1ed the military clauses
OF the Versailles Treaty and retrieved
the saar. it is not surprising that
the Germans banker for new fields to
conquer by the plebiscite or some
other route. Until there is unequivo-

his program contemplates a whole

German territory within the Reich,
Europe is bound to remain in a state
of tense anxiety.

Announcement from Toxic that an
issue suddenly raised between Japan
and China in respect to a claim by
the former on behalf of Manchoukuo
to certain territory in Inner Mon
golia, otherwise now known as Jehol
and officially styled Chahar, has been
adjusted to the point of settlement by
diplomatic negotiations probably sig
nifies that there will be no hostilities
IN that region, as the first dispatches
indicated to be possible. A large force
OF mixed Japanese and Manchurian
troops are in the region occupying
territory that China claims to belong
to it, but which Japan regards as
part of Jehol, which now is part of
Manchoukuo. Should the diplomatic
negotiations succeed, there will be no
conflict. On the other hand, if they
fail of effect, strife may break out in
that region, with the possibility of
grave spread.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES L. rRacEwELL.

He must be ashamed Of his mind,
such as 1t Is, but properly pride him.
self upon the truth that 1t Is no less
than it Is. In this way even the least
intellectual person can get some real
solace in q very perplexing era.
To permit ones self to believe that
one does not like something or other
which undoubtedly has In 1t some
real appeal simply on the ground
that some other human being finds
good in 1t, is at once as silly and as
unintellectual q performance as one
may achieve.
Yet many persons who pride them
selves upon their brains humor them
selves in this luxury, because, first Of
all, they are playing their prejudice
for all 1t is worth.
1t Is well, then, to stop to regard
ones prejudices, to see If they are
based upon ones real dislikes or a
fancied one.
Thus many a dislike, so-called, is
discovered to be nothing but a dis
like for some other human being. And
what could be sillier than to permit
this disgusting person, whoever he
may be, to dictate ones likes and dis
likes?
That is really what one is doing
when he permits himself to be soured
upon some activity, whatever it may
be, just because 1t Is the favorite
recreation of another whom he may
not fancy.
It Is amazing to watch an intelli-
gent person look at something with
which he is not familiar.
Actually he sees nothing.
This comes about because he looks
at the exhibit as a whole, instead of
bit by bit, item by item.
1t is as If man were to 90 into a
private library, look at one case filed
with books, and go away proclaiming
that he has seen the library.
He had only looked at the outside
OF the books, as group. How could
he say that he had seen the library
of So-and-so?
1t Is impossible, then, for an intel
hgent person to proclaim his lack of
interest. because the chances are that
he simply has not looked at the mat
ter properly.
Until he does he is unfair to him.
self when he says he has no interest
in 1t. Yet here again many thousands
OF persons every day do themselves
wrong. They say. in the most off,
hand way, "Oh, I am not interested
in that" when the truth is that they
do not know whether they are or not.
He who believes in the supremacy
OF intelligence, therefore, will examine
his prejudiceS from these standpoints
In order to see whether they have any
brains behind them. If he decides
that they have, then he will stick to
them, but If he realizes that little if
any gray matter dictates them, he will
take certain steps toward righting
them as best he may, at least giving
them fair chance with himself.
In doing this, Of course, he will be
fair to his own nature. He will not
permit some one else to tell him, "Oh,
yes, you are interested" for this will
be as prejudiced, in another way, as
his former statement, II am not in
terested.''
1t must be pointed out that there is
nothing theoretical about this. 1t Is
eminently practicable, to be applied
in everyday life by all persons who
value getting the most out of life. Be
suspicious Of yourself when you say,
"Oh, I don't like that" or "Oh, I
have no interest in that" Do not let
prejudice hold you back from a good
thing.

case-of Manchoukuo as an empire,
with Henry Pu vi as Emperor, was a
bid for the allegiance Of the Inner
Mongols, who have accepted the new
regime with enthusiasm, for it is the
realization Of their dream Of a Mongol
dynasty.
The possibilities of future conflict
between the Inner Mongols and the
Outer Mongols, occupying the terri
tory north and west of Jehol, have
played an important part in the cal
culations respecting the ultimate re-
lations between Russia and Japan,
the latter as sponsor for the new state.
The Outer MongolS have been brought
within the field of Russian influence.
The Moscow government has catered
to their sense of tribal unity and hes
made them an apparently dependable
part Of the Asian Soviet real.n. Be-
tween the Inner and the Outer Mon
gols there are bitter differences, rooted
in questions of early dynasty, religious
practices and territorial rights. These
two bodies Of people have been ready
to fight one another for a long time,
have, in fact, engaged in raids and
frontier quarrels that have passed un-
noticed in the whirl of greater events
south of the Great Wall.
Japan regards the Inner Mongols
as valuable factors In any possible
conflict with Russia. The attempted
extension Of the Jehol territory is
perhaps part of the program of keep
ing the people of Chahar, or JehoI, or
Inner Mongolia, in right relations
with the new state of Manchoukuo.
Hence the importance that is attached
to this latest maneuver, now resolved
into a diplomatic question, but with
large force of mixed troops in the
field to act in case the territorial
questions are not settled satisfactorily.

"Driving While Drunk" "

planned it was not a general practice

Maj. Brown defends the practice by
saying his officers are experienced and
