segregation of industry, as a sep
arate Self-governing entity, free OF
governmental domination, as the
only possible means of making the
imperative transition into dy-
manic functional economy, I'M
posed by an age of technology.
Under the Constitution, he be-
lieVes that government and indus
try may be sharply separated, with
the courts as mediator between
the two, and that thereupon we
will enter the "age of plenty"
from which we are now barred by
an economy suited only to the
"age of scarcity"
This has a familiar ring, OF
course, but Mr.. JavitS SWarmS over
the subject with such erudition,
statistics and cogent reasoning
that the underlying naivete OF
the thesis is for the moment for
gotten. Some current writer, I be-
lieve, remarked that hopeful nell
orists always were making mis-
takes in taking carnivorous for
herbiverouS teeth.
It seems to me, in reading this
spirited and certainly challenging
book, that Mr.. Javits forgetS the
carnivora entirely, as we all Craze

policing economic state.
STUDIES PROPOSAL
Mr.. Javits is a highly successful
corporation lawyer who has
learned the economic facts of life
in years of haunch-paunch-and-
jowl battling in the law courts.
He is widely known as an au-
thority on antitrust law, and trac-
ing the metes and bounds between
business and government has been
his speciality. He is no starry-eyed
reformer and no aloof academl-
clan, spinning goSsamer webs.
Right out Of the clang and tur-
MOL of the market place comes
this studied, documented proposal
to integrate all elements of bust
nesS-finanCe. management, en-
ployers, investors, employes-into
an Academy of Industry" which
would build THE Commonwealth

About 10 years ago one began
to hear of hardy souls making in
ter-city jumps by bus instead Of
by the more reliable, less hazard
GUS train. Even five or six years
ago one made excuses if he made
a longdistance jump by bus. Usu-
ally the real reason was that it
offered less strain on the budget
than any other means of trans
portation.
Today there isn't a main road,
large city or small hamlet that
isn't linked up by the bus web,
which comprises over a billion
miles of highway. And many OF
the millions that use the giant

Then, suddenly, the years are

And we are children standing at
Gods mighty knee
A scrubbed scrap of paper in our

With only some vague remarks

Will God, wonder, scorn those

Say they mean nothing-punlSh

Or will He see the pleading in
our foolish eyes.
And answer, gently-"Yes, dear

Poor Mans Court

The proposal of Judge Nathan Clayton that small
claims and Cancellation branch of the Municipal Court
be established has strong appeal to common
The objective sought by Judge CaytOn is to SIM
pIfy procedure in the handling of cases inUOLUing
less than fifty dollars and to glue the poor man a
chance to Avoid the fright with Which he UieUS
pLicGted legal procedure.
WITH THAT OBJECTIVE NOBODY CAN QUAR-
REL.
There isn't any doubt that the austerity and the
rigdity Of the socaed higher courts tend to terrify
the man without means whether he approaches them as
complainant seeking relief whether he is hailed be-
fore them as defendant
He knows nothing Of the procedure Is timid and
nervous and understands little Of what goes
Unable to retain competent lawyer he does not know
that provision has been made through the cooperation
of the legal fraternity by which he obtain necessary
advice.
BECAUSE OF THESE CONDITIONS WHEN THE
AMOUNT IS SMALL THE POOR MAN FREQUENTLY
EITHER FoRFEITs HIS CLAIMS OR FAILS TO
MAKE A GOOD DEFENSE IF HE HAS ONE.
In the branch of the Municipal Court envsioned by
Judge Clayton these difficulties would be overcome,
Papers could be filed without legal assistance through
their greater simpfication and when the on
for hearing the Judge would be able to reduce the tech
nicalities to minimum thus obviatng the necessity
of counsel
AS Judge Clayton says in submitting the plan:
"The purpose is to prOUide a friendly forum
Uhere the poor man can obtain justice With the
same degree of ease as the citizen with MEANS"
Other cities have had such courts in operation for
years and the results have been highly beneficial
SPEEDY AND SIMPLE JUSTICE HAS RESULTED
AND JUSTICE IS NOT JUSTICE TO THE POOR MAN
UNLESS 1T IS SPEEDY AND SIMPLE.
The branch could be established in the Municipal Court
by order Of the present judges and without any add
tional expense.
The people of the District of Columbia would like to
see the judges put it in operation.

Travel Progress

Do you remember way back
when travel was a rich mans
pleasure, a luxury to be planned
for long in advance, and enjoyed
by the select few? Then there
were but two means of tranSpor-
tation-the train and tn e
steamer. People who had crossed
the continent or had been to
Europe were looked upon with
awe and treated with respect.
But looking at the travel pic
ture today. we find the whole con-
tinent on the move. School chill
dren talk of their third or fourth
trip to Europe and crossing the
continent is but a jaunt to them.

that is where the second surprise

Because of the rumor afloat
that if the Democrats are returned
in power they will seek to take ad-
vantage of any deaths and retire
ments to pack the court in favor
of the New Deal, newspaper men
and other observers were impressed
by the apparent excellent health
of the jurists. .
No faltering signs of impairment
were visible. They looked more
than ever the embodiment OF
dignified, reserved intelligence.
And they handed down orders
in enough cases to convince any
one that they still have quite a
capacity for work.

ago. Appearing on the bookstanos

Court"
Mr.. Bates recounts that for the
first two years after the Court was
created not one case was presented
for them to decide upon.
Mr.. Bates also has some interest
ing comment to make on the origin
of the theory that the Court has
the power to decide upon the con-
stitutionality of the acts of Con-
gress. This little practice of the
Court, as you may remember, has
caused the New Deal no end OF
inconvenience.
At any rate you gather from Mr.
Bates that the practice is some
thing like Topsy. 1t "just groWed."
He puts. however. all blame for
