Every student of history knows that
from the time of julius Caesar to that
of Hitler it was the amiable man, the
humanitarian, who arrayed class
against class.
Already Mr.. Roosevelt boasts of
having built up instruments of power
that would be dangerous in the hands
of an Executive ambitious to become a
despot. Let it be understood that if he
has built up such instruments of eXecu-
tive power that under any circumstan-
ces might endanger the liberty of a
free people it has not been done under
the authority of the Constitution.
A distinguished senator defending
this Supreme Court measure has re-
Gently said that if the President be Civ
en- powers that transcend constitu-
tional authority, they will be handed
back at the end of his term. Who, let
me ask, can speak for the President?
When will be the end of his term
Nobody seems to be in his confidence,
for it is said that this startling pro-
posal was not even submitted to his
cabinet for its approval. We have
never had President more impatient
of opposition and more relentless in
his demand to have his own way.
Congress is asked to extend these
instruments of power in the belief
that they will only be used for purposes
consistent with the public welfare. The
American people are not yet ready to
submit to the judgment of any one man
the determination as to what is best
for the public good. The Supreme
Court, impartial and independent of
both the Executive and Congress, is
the only defense of minority against
the tyranny of majorities. Our re-
ligion and our press, our lives and our
property and our democracy itself
under the reorganized court would be
at the mercy of any temporary wave
of passion and prejudice at the election
If this Congress be weak and servile
enough to submit now to the Presi
dents dictation, it will not only have
dishonored itself but will have broken
faith with the people and removed the
constitutional bulwark Of liberty and
democracy.

endure political judges willing to de-

are no more foul than those in the

FORMER JUDGE WARNS OF
PERT TO NATION IN PLAN

CThe Constitution belongs to the
people, and they alOne-nOt the Execu-
tive or COngress-have the right to
amend it. This is the position taken
by former Judge Albert A. DOub of the
Fourth Judicial Circuit of Maryland
in the following fOrceful letter protest
ing President ROOsevelt's proposal to
add six justices to the United States
Supreme COurt).
"HE recent message and measure of
the President, relating to the re-
a organization of the Supreme
Court, are amazing documents.
For one coordinate branch of the
government deliberately and officially
to pass judgment upon the distin-
guished members of another branch
and charge them with senility and par
tiality merely because they retain
their independence of intellect and
loyalty to the Constitution and refuse
to yield to the mandates of the Exec
utive and the clamor of demagogues
for a planned society can hardly be
characterized by any other term than
impertinence.
1t is true that the docility of the last
Congress, which reminded us of the
parliaments of Hitler and Mussolini,
when called together to approve their
official DEGREES, was discouraging to
lovers of democracy, and yet it is hard
to believe that an American President
could become so intoxicated with his
domination of Congress and the cleo
torate that he would attempt to de-
stroy the last vestige of the bill of
rights and liberty, under the Constitu-
ton.
Certainly the six young men to be
appointed and expected to dominate
the reorganized Supreme Court would
enter upon their duties with full con-
seriousness of what they must do in re-
turn for their appointments. If six
new judges were appointed, the num-
Der would be Is, of whom the President
thinks he would have a majority, but
as those over 70 years of age die or
retire by choice or in disgust, the num-
Der whould be reduced one by one until
the six New Dealers would be wholly
in the saddle. And so Mr.. Roosevelt
would have circumvented the wisdom
of the elder statesmen, whom all other
countries delight to honor, and in spite
of the Constitution we should have a
planned society, regulating the indi-
vidual lives of our people, muzzling
the press and the radio and laying its
hands on religion.
There is no defense of this fantastic
proposal, except the suggestion that
the President is an amiable man who
could not harbor a thought dangerous
to democracy. He wrote the platform
of 1882 and abandoned it after the cleo
ton and thereby substituted his will
for the will of the people. He wrote
the platform of 1886 and proposes now
to abandon it as far as the amendments
of the Constitution are concerned.

Bolitho Blame.
What he says in that note about
there being Il tough crowd behind
me is sheer nonsense. Just wild
statement of a man who was hall
off his head with worry. He didn't
know the first thing about me per
sonally as we had never even met
and, as ] didn't see him when he
came on board, | never set eyes
on the man in my life.
We had correspondent u lot i'll

me slip of paper which, he said,

it was the page that Stodart had

he had taken down the quota

New York stock market from the

CHAPTER III
Mr.. NICHOLAS STODARTS

NIX. NICHOLAS SlODAkl .
STATEMENT.
Mr.. Blame told me about a fort
night ago that his companies were
in very serious difficulties but
that his principal competitor, Mr.;
Carlton Rocksavage, had invited
him to a conference in the United
States. Mr.. Blame believed that
Mr.. RockSavage'S companies were
in almost as serious difficulties as
his own, owing to the price cut
ting war which had been going on
between them for Il considerable
time.
Mr.. Blame was the big man Of
the British soap combine and Mr..
Rocksavage the head Of the rival
group in America. Between them
thew could have had the virtual
control of the world soap market,
but they have been trying to
smash each other for months past
and neither has succeeded to date.
That cost both groups an immense
amount of money, and an ANAL
gamation between them would
have meant salvation to them
both. whereas, if they continued
their rivalry. it was quite certain
that one of them would go under.
Mr.. Blame accepted Mr.. Rock
savape's invitation and we sailed
for the United States in the Be
renparia. During the voyage Mr..
B,ane was very depressed. The
steady fall in the shares of his
companies caused him grave anxi-
ety and he told me repeatedly that
;f Argus Suds went below 45 he
would have very little chance of
milling off deal with Rocksav-
ace except upon ruinous terms
and that, if Argus Suds went be-
low 40, there would be no chance
Of his pulling off a deal at all, as
il would pay RockSavage better,
in that case, to let him 20 under.
The fact that the shares of the
Rocksavage companies We're also
falling, although in "a lesser de-
gree, did not appear to console
him.
Mr.. Blane's depression was so
great at times that | had grave
doubts as to his sanity. He seemed
to think that Rocksavage and his
associates would stop at nothing
to wreck him. He knew, of course
that his death would mean a COM
plete slump in the Blame interests
and, although he had never met
Mr.. Rocksavage, he apparently re.
garded him as a man who might
even 60 the length of engineering
his death in order to smash the
Blame companies.
He knew that his only hope of
pulling his companies through was

Mr.. Inosuke HayaShi came on

At 7:25 Mr.. Stodart arrived
and introduced himself as Bolitho
Blane's secretary. He said that
Blame wished to get some cables
off before changing and asked
that | would excuse him from put
ting in an appearance before din

| introduced Stodart to Mrs.

fered him a drink which he ac-
cepted. After u few moments
Stodart asked me if the type
sheets on the notice board in the
lounge contained the closing
n,.;cos IN the New York stock
macket and, on my telling HIM
that shat was so, he said that Mr.,
RIone was anxious to have the
latest information. He took down
some of the prices in his note
book. tore the leaf out and, as ne
had not finished his drink, asked
the lounge steward to take the
list down to Blane's cabin. .,
The steward came up again ana
said that the drawln" room oi

be could get no answer. -.

leaders acted in way which many
county seats have found successful when
they feared transfer of their official posi-
ton to some new center of population.
The county seats enlarged their court
houses-Annapolis had the State Legis-
lature authorize sl,o0o,0O0 bond issue
to erect an Office building there.
The idea was to move many of the
State offices back to Annapolis. Bslti-
more interests fighting the proposal filed
petition to force referendum on the
measure at next years State election.
Annapolis countered by carrying the
issue to the State Court Of Appeals, which
upheld the act and ruled that 1t is not
subject to referendum.
Throughout the controversy there has
been evidence of widespread sympathy
toward the effort to stem the tide of
officialdom flowing into Baltimore-to
keep the reins of Maryland's government
in the hands of the Colonial city where
Washington resigned his commission,
where so many Governors have resided
in the rambling executive mansion and
where our future admirals get their
training.
Washington knows how it feels when
some one suggests moving the seat of
the United States Government to the
geographical center of the Nation. 1t
would have hated to see Annapolis lose.
