Eight members of the cabinet at
tended, and in the galleries sat Mrs.
Roosevelt, the wives of cabinet
members, diplomats and enough
other privileged persons to fill the
seats completely. Vice President
Garner and Speaker Byrns Jointly
presided over the session.
The Presidents message was
denounced by the American Lib
erty league as "the most dangerous
speech that ever came from a Presi-
dent" and by former President Her
bert Hoover as message of "'war

Senator Joseph I. Robinson, Dem
acratic leader, struck back at the
Presidents critics in a statement
declaring that if the President had
recited the Ten Commandments he
would have been accused of having
Interior motives. He repeated the
challenge of the President to his
critics to repeal New Deal legisla-
ton.

Neutrality and Bonus Due
for Speedy Action

TWO major issues that call for
quick consideration by congress
are neutrality and the veterans
bonus. The existing neutrality law
expires on February 20, and the
President and his advisers have de-
termined that new law shall be
passed which will give him broad
discretionary powers with regard
to shipments, loans and credits to
belligerents. There is in congress
a strong group, headed by Senators
Clark of Missouri, Vandenberg of
Michigan and Nye of North Dakota
and Representative Maury Maverick
of Texas, that demands extension
of the present mandatory neutral
ity law. Presumably the new meas
ure will be compromise.
Speedy passage of bonus pay
ment legislation is expected, for its
proponents are determined and Wig
orous. Officials of the American
Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars
and Disabled American Veterans
have just agreed on a bill which
will include these provisions:
Immediate full cash payment of
the adjusted service certificates.
Refund of interest paid on loans
on certificates.
Cancellation of interest accrued
and unpaid.
Provision that veterans who do
not desire to cash their certificates
| may draw interest upon the matur-
ity value thereof (less principal of
loan, if any, to be paid thereon
| from a date to be specified.
Provision for issuance of special
government obligations in lieu of
| adjusted service certificates to the
value of about a half billion dol
lars now held as security by the
United States life insurance re-
serves account.
The veterans organizations esti-
mated their united proposal would
entail cash expenditure of ap-
proximately $1,000, 100000, rather
than the $500, 900 generally ac-
cepted as the cost payment

quent and militant political speech
addressed to the people of the Unit
ed States, who by the millions were
listening in on their radios. Parti-
san opinion of his message is per-
haps worthless. Of course his sup
porters praised it highly and his
opponents were equally emphatic in
derogation.
Democrats and Republicans alike
commended the Presidents opening
paragraph in which he boldly con-
demned the aggression of Italy and
Japan, though without naming those
nations; and there, was little dis
sent from his assertion that the
United States must maintain it's
neutrality while seeking to ''discour-
age the use by belligerent nations
of any and all American products
calculated to facilitate the prosecu-
ton Of a war in quantities over
and above our normal exports to
them in time of peace"
The remainder of the message,
devoted to domestic affairs, was de-
voted chiefly to belligerently
worded defense of the New Deal
measures of the administration, an
attack on those who oppose them
and a spirited passage in which Mr..
Roosevelt defied and dared his crit
les to move for the repeal of those
measures instead of hiding their
dissent in cowardly cloak Of gen.
erality." In only two paragraphs
did the President dwell on ''the
state of the nation" In these he
said that after nearly three years
of the New Deal national income is
increasing, agriculture and indus
try are returning to full activity"
and 1--WE approach balance of the
national budget" That last state
ment was greeted with hooking
laughter from the Republican side
of the chamber, and though the
Democrats .cheered loudly, Mr..
Roosevelt himself smiled at his
| words.
One passage in the message was
interpreted by some as a threat
| to close the lower courts to suits
attacking the constitutionality of
| federal laws. The President told
congress that it's enactments re-
quire protection until final adjudi-
| cation by the highest tribunal" and
added that congress "has the right
and can find the means to protect
| it's own prerogatives."

The whole system of processing
taxes imposed to finance the pro-
gram was swept into discard.
Not only are the processing taxes
illegal but the court apparently de-
clared the farm benefit contracts
void and put up bars against any
attempt of the federal government
to regulate farm production by
whatever means.
Senators and representatives who
Immediately began planning legis-
lation to continue benefit payments
to farmers and to balance agricul-
tural output did not seem to grasp
the full significance of this part of
the decision. The court said fatty
that regulation of farm production
is not within the scope of the fed
eral government and Of it's powers
to accomplish this, nor can it pur-
chase adherence to a control scheme
by federal payments.
The decision destroyed not only
the original AAA but also, the
amended act of the last session Of
congress.
The dissenting opinion held that
the AAA was legitimate employ
ment of the power to tax for the
general welfare. 1t attacked the
theory that the preservation of our
institutions is the exclusive concern
of the Supreme court and suggested
that under the majority decision the
unemployment work relief act is un-
constitutional.
President Roosevelt, Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace and other adj
ministration leaders had no immedi-
ate comment on the decision to
make public, but the President
called Attorney General Cummings
and Mr.. Wallace into conference.
The administration and congress,
must do something to raise nearly
half a billion dollars which the gov
eminent has contracted to pay farm
ers and against which it now has
no income, since the processing i'm
post is outlawed. Disposition of
about $2OO,OOO,000 accumulated I'M
der court orders that impounded
processing tax collections must be
determined.
AAA Administrator Chester Davis
stopped all payments to farmers
until further notice." and the
Treasury department ordered all
collectors of internal revenue to de-
sist from further efforts to collect
processing taxes.
In his budget message President
Roosevelt included revenue from
processing taxes, so the Supreme
court decision had the effect of
throwing the 1887 budget still
further out of balance by something
like billion dollars.
