the famous Porto Rican tariff de-
cision in which the court ruled
that the Constitution did not fol-
low the flag to newly acquired de-
Tendencies.
1t is difficult for the busy man
TO take the time to read two long
opinions and, for that matter, to
read them several times in order
10 come at their true meaning.
Nevertheless it is important that
citizens should know precisely
what our high court has decided.
Here, briefly is the point. /.
THE court held that Congress
Il has the power to lay taxes ito
promote the general welfare of the
United States"
1t held further that Congress en-
Joys only such powers as are
granted to it by the states in the
Constitution, but that in taxing
and spending it might spend for
any purpose which is for the gen.
eral welfare of the nation even if
that purpose is not within the
powers granted in other parts OF
the Constitution
, But it then held that while it
might thus spend money it could
not annex condition to the ex-
penditure which would result in
giving it the right to regulate
some field of society over wEjcn
it had no special power That is,
Congress might tax and spend
\ money in aid of agriculture-al-
though there is no special grant of
power for that purpose.
1t could do this because this
might be held to be for the gen.
eral welfare. But it could not
spend this money by giving it to
farmers on condition that the
farmers submit to regulation by
the general government.
THE government has no power
J. to regulate agriculture. That
power belongs to the states. 1t can
not, therefore, induce farmers by
money payments to sign agree
ments to submit to Federal regula-
ton.
This would be purchasing the
power to regulate" which it did not
have from the Constitution. And
the court held that If it could do
this in the case of farmers, it could
also purchase the right to regulate
every kind of business, local or
otherwise, anywhere.
The government spends vast
sums in aid of education, health,
social order. Much of these spend
, ings in the past have been made on
conditions. What effect will this
have on all these practices? But it
is clear that it will be difficult for
the government to devise plan for
paying money to farmers which in
wolves no conditions. This is what
has wrecked the alternative plans.

FOOD STOCKS
REGAIN FAVOR
ON AAA RULING
Great Concentration
Demand Features
Trading.
BY ALBERT X. ETTLINGER
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-That the
Street engaged in a buying spree
in the biscuit, baking and other food
company stocks soon after the Su-
preme Court made public its deci-
sion multiplying the New Deals farm
policy is putting it mildly-not in
recent years has there been such
concentrated demand as has been
put in motion.
The companies which these stocks
represent are more susceptible to
slight changes in cost than most
others. With the additional burden
of the AAA taxes they found the
problem of maintaining earnings in
1885 serious one, despite the in
creased volume that resulted from
general acceleration of the business
pace.
Biscuit and bread bakers, for ex-
ample, which operate in highly
competitive fed, where price in
creases can not be made without
considerable diminishing of sales
were hardest hit in 1885, as earn
ings statements show.
Profits Due for Rise
Such concerns found it difficult to
pass along fully to consumers the
extra cost burden of AAA processing
charges. Now that the Supreme
Court has declared the levies m
constitutional, it is logical that
profits in 1886 will make much
more favorable comparison with
1885 and that securities will antici-
pate such betterment.
Floor professionals were active on
the selling side of mail order and
merchandising issues. These COM
panies depend to large extent on
farm purchasing power. Apparently
traders sold on the theory that now
that the Supreme Court had invali-
dated the whole Administration
agricultural program, the sales gains
registered last year might be re-
tarded, or perhaps a downward
trend might develop.
Followers OF utilities, those who
have been on the constructive side
of this sector for months, have taken
on new spirit.
Floor Traders Confused
Power stocks are doing we'll at the
moment, rejecting the belief that
the high court ruling on the IVA
will be another blow against New
Deal policies.
Motor shares reflected increased
bear selling and for this reason
probably enjoy an improved tech
nical position Chrysler to date has
borne the brunt of this pressure
Shorts in this stock, however, are
cautious, recalling costly lessons of
the past.
Floor traders, according to latest
reports, are confused, unwilling to
make heavy commitments on either
side. 1t seems that many feel the
market may undergo further adjust
ment, that it will be highly sensitive
until all important Supreme Court
rulings have been made.

TN THE peaceful silence Of the
French countryside, out where
i grass is growing where death
was in the making and restful Gene
teries recall Internal battleields, pop
pies and flags today are waving over
10000 American graves like gentle
beck flung forth in the wind by those
who have not failed "their rendezvous
with DEATH"
Although Memorial day, or. as they
used to call it, Decoration day, seems
to be particularly associated with
American soil, those grief-stricken par
ents, sorrowing comrades and friendly
compatriots who are mourning today
in the six American cemeteries in
France might forget that they were in
a foreign land when they see the piety
and devotion with which small chill
dren from the nearby villages scatter
wild flowers on the American tombs.
If the city jewellers are prone to for
get the dreadful days Of 10 years ago,
those who live in the invaded sections
where the decisive battles were fought
and won, the peasants of Thiaucourt
and Montfaucon. the citizens of Sedan
and st. Mihiel keep ever present in
their minds the seemingly miraculous
arrival of thousands upon thousands
of strangers from overseas who. like
brothers, were prepared to die be-
side the sons of France.
The story has been often told of how,
when hope had almost fled, when re-

The Purpose Of
Memorial Day
TT is well for all Americans to keep

TT is we'll for all Americans to keep
in mind the ideals which at it's COM
ception prompted the observance Of
Memorial day. To emphasize this spirit
in the many proclamations of state
governors and city mayors, the Memo

chant sentences set forth the main pur-
poses of this solemn and hallowed oc-
casion:
To visit not only the memorials and
final resting places of national heroes
but of their own departed relatives and
friends.
To take measures and memorialize-
permanently local historic sites and the
graves Of local celebrities in order that
their memory may be kept forever
green.

land as though it were their own. 1t
has been often told. But it is pious
duty to say it again every year, on
Memorial day.
Every American who visits the
numerous French shrines should be
grateful to the American Overseas
Memorial Day association for decorat-
ing each of the more than 10000
graves with poppy, wreath and
small French and American flags oD
each May 80. This reverential task is
performed by official American super
intendents.
About 10000 bodies were taken back
to the United States, on their rela-
tives' request, at the governments ex.
pense. There also are about 10 iso-
lated graves, the most celebrated of
these being that of Quentin Roosevelt,
President Theodore Roosevelt's son,
who was buried where his plane fell,
near Fere-en-Tardenois.
These isolated graves are usually
decorated by members of the Paris
posts Of the American Legion or by
local French citizens, frequently the
mayor of the locality concerned.
The general locations of the most
imposing memorials are enduring re-
