hands Of q motley crew of ever shift
ing. itinerant advisers, whose move
ments resemble those Of people going
through q revolving door. Three years
ago the visionary plans Of these ANA
teur planners were forced upon the
country under the pretext of emer-
gency. And .hree years later there Is
still an emergency. There Is new
emergency every time the Supreme
Court reports to the people.
May Expect Farm Prosperity.
Recovery Of business began with
the collapse of the N. r. A. Now that
the A. A. A. has collapsed we may
expect prosperity in agriculture"
Judge Dawson told the diners that
they convinced him 1.-THE American
people cannot be bullied, boycotted or
bribed into exchanging their ordered
liberty under the Constitution Of the
United States for the more abundant
life planned economy and regimen
tation of Franklin D. Roosevelt and
the motley crew Of socialists, parlor
pinks and silly sentimentalists with
whom he has surrounded himself"
The Kentucky jurist laid directly
upon President Roosevelt the blame
for putting through series Of I'M
constitutional laws and for hurriedly
promulgating more than 500 codes for
business having the force and eject
of law, under which business was
regimented and regulated to an exten:
known in no country outside OF
Russia" Yet, he said, the President
is q lawyer. land We have the right to
assume that he was thoroughly
familiar with its (the Constitution's)
provisions and with the interpreta-
ton and meaning given to those pro-
visions by the Supreme Court OF the
United States"
President Knew Constitution.
He said 1.-The President knew that
the Constitution was intended specl-
fically to record the powers conferred
upon the Federal Government by its
creator. the people OF the United
States"
He knew" said Judge Dawson, "by
the terms of the instrument itself ana
from an unbroken line Of opinions OF
the Supreme Court that the only
powers possessed by the National Gov"
eminent are those expressly or I'M
pliedly conferred upon 1t by that
Constitution.
"He knew that those who framed
the Constitution had no intention OF
DESTROYING their respective State gov
ernments. or of surrendering any OF
the powers of the State governments
to the National Government, except
to the extent and in the manner SET
out in the Constitution itself. he
knew that there was conferred upon
the National Government no power
of control over the internal affairs
of the States; no power to regulate
the farm. the factory, the mill or the
mine. He knew that the National
Government has no power to take the
property Of any citizen, or group OF
citizens, whether under the guise OF
taxation or through condemnation for
the benefit OF any other citizen or
group of citizens"
Basic Principles Violated.
judge Dawson said that the Presi-
dent, in disregard of the oath to sup
port the Constitution, has demanded.
and a servile Congress has enacted
during the past three years, law after
law violating these fundamental prin-
ciples of the Federal Constitution"
Referring to the N. r. A., the jurist
said, ITO indulge the presumption
that the President had no doubts OF
the constitutionality Of this act Is to
impugn his intelligence" He said that
the administration delayed as long as
it could a judicial determination Of
this act.
"A President with q proper respect
of the Constitution would have &C
cepted the result; but not Mr.. Roose-
velt," continued Judge Dawson. "On
the heels of the opinion, in a setting
deliberately arranged 50 as to give the
widest publicity to his remarks, the
President INDUCED in an incorporate,
bitter denunciation OF the Supreme
Court for its courageous action in up
holding the Constitution against exec
utive and legislative usurpation, and
Notwithstanding this opinion. stated
that he was going forward with this
usurpation of power and violation
of private rights"
Judge Dawson listed the A. A. A.,
the Bankhead cotton control act, the
Kerr-Smith tobacco control act and
other New Deal laws as equally I'M
constitutional. He charged that the
President departed from the constitu-
tional practice of recommending leg
islation to Congress and has dashed
it into the passage of $4,000. 000, 900
bills, the Wagner labor law, the social
security law. the utilities control law
and the Guffey coal law. He charged
that the President has sought to
change Americas form Of government
in the laws he has forced through
Congress.
He charged, too. that the President
in his recent annual message to Con-
gress had sought law which would
deny to the citizens prompt access to
the courts for the purpose of secur-
ing protection against unconstitutional
laws.
