HALIFAX, August 22-Sharp criti-
cism Of New Deal legislation In the
United States was voiced before the
Canadian Bar Associations annual
meeting by w. B. Mitchell, former
United States Attorney General. He
declared many of the Roosevelt adj
ministration's laws, denied citizens
constitutional rights"
The former cabinet member de-
clared that during the past 81 years
the United States had been actually
governed by series Of void and un-
constitutional Federal statutes"
Mitchell said the New Dealers "ob-
viously realize the growing antipathy
OF Americans" to the abuses" and
he expressed fear that "if the present
administration continues in power, we
may expect resort to the filling Of
judicial vacancies with men COM
mitted to its views"
Government ofiicials who are ready
to impose their will through statutes
by doubtful validity by delaying and
impeding their judicial review, will
not hesitate to exercise the power of

The knobby and bellicose Col. Full
gencio Batista has the army; the
President has the constitution and
college degree. According to my in
formant Col. Batista recently lashed
Senior Gomez with most intemperate
invective and invited him to start
something whenever he got ready.
Daily news dispatches from Havana
report the increasing tensity between
the President and the chief OF staff
Of the army.
But" said my visitor, Gomez
comes as near having the backing of
the United States Government as it
possibly could have without the State
Department getting out Of bounds. He
also has the backing of United States
investors who have big stakes in Cuba.
Gomez is man of great culture and
splendid political education and Amer
lean business is behind him. Batista
is fiery nationalist, pretty much in
the picture of the modern dictator.
and with a strong hold on the army
and many Of the Cuban people. There
are the ingredients for trouble here.
unless we exercise some shrewd and
effective craftsmanship"
Col. Batista, feet inches tall,
weighing 180 pounds, grim. swarthy
and challenging, was cane-rustler,
barber, ditchdigger, brakeman, soldier
and stenographer. He is Of Cuban.
Chilena. Indian origin, with Mongo-
loid features and bulging muscles. His
father was a truck driver. He was
born in Banas, Oriente Province. in
1901. 1t was in September. 1888, when
Sergt. Batista ousted President Carlos
Manuel De Cespedes and took COM
mand OF the army. He had been
stenographer at staff headquarters.
He has never been out of Cuba. He
says he has no ambitions to become
q dictator. but will use his power to
compel the organization of a mod
ern, enlightened and disciplined state"
Now It's Five SextetS
Progress notes: We pulled out OF
the depression of the COS when the
Uncle Toms Cabin" companies
started putting on two Topseys and
doubled the bloodhound squad. To-
night. at New York,s great new open
air theater at Randalls Island, they
put on "Floradora" with not two. but
five seXtetS. That may mean that
our recovery will be two and one-half
times as fast. Roger Babsou might

Fortune Gallo, quasi official opera
impresario for New York States park
system, says it will be the biggest
event since Romes coliseum" In the
light of Mr.. Gallo's past deliveries on
schedule, this sounds less like Latin
hyperbole than it might otherwise.
Gallo" means rooster" in Italian.
He is the gamecock breed, promoting
low-price opera in America for 80
years-on Broadway and in lonely
whistling posts-and making it pay,
when everybody said 1t couldn't be
done.
