Two Foreign Policies
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times)
 Between the tentatively emerging foreign policy described by the President in his Chicago speech and the Neutrality Act which is already on the statute books there is fundamental conflict in philosophy. The essence of the policy MT Roosevelt stated it. is "a concerted effort" by the peaceloving nations
 in opposition to those violations of treaties and those ignorngs of humane instincts which today creat- ing state of international anarchy and instability from which there is escape through mere isolation or neutrality" The distinguishing characteristics of this policy CD it's explicit rejection of the theory that the United States hope to avoid the risks of war through mere isolation neutrality" (2 its equally explicit affirmation in favor of concerted action with other nations in defense of international law and order and (3) its corolary willingness to throw the influence of the United States against those violations of international law and order which create state of insecurity and instability.
 The philosophy of the Neutrality Act is precisely the of this For the Neutrality Act CD bases
 its hope of safeguarding the of the United States isolation which to be complete legislative ingenuity make it, (2) makes provision what ever for concerted action in defense of international law but 3) the contrary specifically requires that action taken under the terms of this legislation whether in the matter of embargoes on munitions embargoes other materials, restrictions the use of credit-shall apply even-handediy and without discrimination against the nations which violate international law and the nations which up- hold it, against the aggressors and their victims, against the creators of international anarchy and instability" and the countries whose security is jeo pardized by these conditions The two foreign policies deeply and fundamen- tally irreconcilable To be sure Senator Putnam. chairman of the Committee Foreign Relations finds it possible to endorse both of them and ce neutrality with unneutrality But this is tour de force. If the policy outlined in the Chicago speech is actually to become the policy of the United States there is proper place the statute books for the Neutrality Act The President must be pre- pared to face the formidable opposition which he will find in Congress any departure from the philosophy nf fhct 1aOic catin Hn mn hQ tn ease for concerted action" at the bar of public opinion. And he must undertake to convince nation long steeped in the unrealities of isolation that its safety, it's honor and the considerations of its frightened self-nterest all require it to accept larger share of the responsibilities which fall naturally to a great world Power

Congressional drives to restrict
the powers of the Supreme Court
had struck a snag today after a
dramatic radio defense of that
tribunal by Senator William E
Borah (RD OF Idaho.
He demanded the people be
given a right to vote on any
change in the form of govern.
ment.
Borah traced the long uphill
fight by the English-speaking race
for an independent and uncon.
trolled judiciary. which would
protect the individual in his
rights and liberties. He warned
Congress against attempting to
usurp power or to hamstring the
court without submitting the issue
to the people in the form of a
constitutional amendment.
Liberty's Bulwark
Speaking over nationwide
radio hookup, the Idahoan de-
Tended the nations highest tribu-
nal as the bulwark of liberty"
He urged a national poll on a
constitutional amendment giving
the Federal Government the right
to regulate industry, labor and
agriculture.
He said:
The Supreme Court in its
long history has erred. That it
will err again. 1 entertain no
doubt. That it has on some
occasions felt the effect of mad
party passions raging about it.
Is probably true.
But after all this is ad-
mitted. when its worth is meas
ured by the service it has rem
dered to the cause of human
liberty, to the advancement of
human happiness, and to the
maintenance of a Government
of law rather than Govern
ment of men, that 1t stands
among the foremost institutions
Of the world seems true.
1.-The Supreme Court, in num-
erouS instances, has thrown the
shield of the Constitution about
the rights of the citizen when
all other appeals for relief failed
him. When war, passion, politi-
cal zeal or selfish schemes have
carried men beyond reason or
justice, the court has interposed
to avert great wrongs.
'"The dominant, overshadow-
ing constitutional question, one
which will return again and
again, involves the distribution
of power between the State and
Federal governments. 1t was
this same question which divided
our people in a long and bitter
controversy and finally drenched
the nation in fraternal blood.
Will of People
"If the people desire that the
Federal Government shall have
control over their local affairs,
1t is for the people to say so.
If the people desire to leave the
Congress the unlimited discre-
ton as to the things for which
It shall appropriate money and
the things it shall do with the
money, it is for the taxpayers
to say So"
