We don't want real socialism;
that is, so long as we don't recog-
nize it, even though we have to take
it in overdoses, mixing it with what
little is left of capitalism
Now the Supreme Court says We
can not mix it, even though it be
disguised under many letters Of the
alphabet. Maybe they will bring
back the stage coach and oxcart
with wigs and powdered hair. We've
got on our socialistic bathing suit,
with our feet wet, but can not go
into the water, say the grandpas.

AS result of the decision of the
Supreme Court on NRA and the
Frazier-Lemke Acts, has the Su-
preme Court again acted uncon-
Stitutionally?
Wherein does the Constitution
of the United States grant au-
thority for the courts to nullify
the acts of Congress? ]
We, the people, in order to form
a more perfect union, by a major
ity vote, elect and delegate our
Representatives in Congress to
pass certain laws that establish
justice, insure domestic tranquil
lily, promote the general welfare,
etc, only to have them abrogated
by the Supreme or inferior courts.
AS long as we have such a body
exercising supreme power, little
can be gained by We, the people,
choosing between two political
parties. The Congress may unan-
imously pass and the President
sign a certain law, yet if some one
citizen in 12O,O0O,O00 contests that
law, five of the nine judges under
the present system and usurpation
of power could declare that law
unconstitutional and render it
null and void, which has the eff
feet, in one of those five-tofour
decisions, of allowing more power
to one appointed judge, than is
held by the Congress and the
President, or any and all Of your
elected Representatives.
The duties of the Supreme or
inferior courts are to interpret
the law, render judgment and in
flict penalties under the laws as
they are passed. If then 1--WE, the
people," do not approve of the law
we can ask its repeal Or elect such
Representatives as will change it
at the will of majority The
sooner we decide this for all the
courts, by amendment to the Con-
Stitution, if necessary, the quicker
we will progress along that road
to our more perfect union.

dun in 1882, decided that Hoover

THE REV. COERS JUST SEEKING
LIMELIGHT, READER SAYS
By Margaret o. Otto

By Margaret o. Otto
In criticising Father Coughlin,
the Rev. CoerS has sought but one
thing. He seeks to steal the lime
light created by the oratorical
priest. That is one way of getting
his name before the public, the
course I would advise against.
Whatever your motive, Mr.. Coers,
your talk is not even a pOp-gun. It's
only the backfre from bean
shooter.
I had always respected your point
of view; had always listened with
interest to your talks. You have
fallen from the ranks of the Just
and have taken sides with prejudice
Thus such silence would be golden.
Your stand on the Baker case
is wonderful. There are still few
who do read The Times.

MYSTERIOUS stories apparently have lost

are constantly in demand. One of the finest of
late thriers is Erie Stanley Gardeners The Case
OF the Counterfeit Eye" William Morrow. So
The hero Of Mr.. Gardeners mystery stories is
Perry Mason, briiiant-lawyer- detective who is
always working himself into the bad graces of
the police. In this story, Perry's client is a
crochety gentleman with an artificial eye One
OF his eyes, az bloodshot one (for use the morn
ing after the night before, has been stolen and
sure enough, it is found clutched in the hand of
a murdered man.
The eye is easily traced to Perrys client and
good old Doc Mason has his hands full. The en-
suing tactics of Mr.. Gardeners lawyer-Getective
are highly entertaining and exciting. Perry
Mason is undoubtedly one of the grandest story
book detectives of all time. If you haven't yet
met him, do it right away.

trolled the route of a May Day pa
rade today as jobleSS men and
women prepared to march on the
Loop in protest of statewide
closing of relief depotS.
Nearly 700 uniformed police were
called out to guard against dis
orders arising from crisis precipi-
tated when Federal Relief Admin
iStrator Harry L. Hopkins shut off
all FERA funds to the state.
Mr.. Hopkins order, which with
stood a direct appeal to President
Roosevelt by Gov. Henry Horner,
forced wholesale closingS of relief
stations supplying food to 100000
indigents.
The administrator based his dras-
tic action on the failure of the Illi-
nois Legislature to provide $780,
600 a month to supplement Fed
eral relief money on a 1-to-3 ratio.
The May Day marcherS, converg-
ing on the Loop from two sections
of the city, had official permission

Navy Commander, Visiting

of Japanese.

The japanese, when questioned
about Japan's seizure of Manchu-

the same situation as when the
United States annexed Mexican ter
ritory to form Texas, Commander
Morton WillcuttS, U. S. N, who is
visiting here with his brother, Har-

Commander Willcutts, one-time
inferno at City Hospital, arrived
here this week after three years
service with the American legation
in China. He leaves Saturday for
duty at the Naval Hospital in Wash
ington.
The naval physician was particu-
larly optimistic over China'S progress
under the new regime and new
life philosophy" which he char
acterized as a modern adaptation of
Confucius and Christianity.
China, as it becomes more mod
ernized. will become a great market
for United States products, particu-
larly automobiles, Commander
Willcutts said.
The danger of war in the Orient
is greatly exaggerated, particularly
since China is making gestures of
friendly relations with Japan, he
stated.
