The public finds it extremely
difficult to reconcile decisions of
the Court which deny that the
States have the right to exercise
certain powers and also deny that
the Federal Government has the
right to exercise the same powers.
This was emphasized when the
Court killed the New York State
Minimum Wage law for women
and children after giving the
deathblow to the Guffey Coal
Act, which attempted to exercise
a similar power on behalf of the
Federal Government. The Presi-
dent commented that the Court

Undoubtedly there is a consid-
cradle reverence for the Supreme
Court as an institution, and large
public support for the theory that
an impartial judiciary should hold
the scales of justice in passing
upon constitutional issues. This
has been enhanced by numerous
decisions of the Court asserting
and projecting the rights plainly
accorded individuals by the Con-
stitution. It has been weakened
by the belief in the popular mind
that the Court leans to the pro-
lection of wealth.

The lines are beginning to form
in the Senate for the fight which
will center around the, Presidents
proposal to appoint. under certain
conditions, up to six new justices
of the Supreme Court. In the
House, little chance exists for a
successful battle against the Presi-
dents proposal. but. in the SEN
ate, where foes of the suggestion
will concentrate their attack, it
is likely that the battle viii be
prolonged. Hearings before the
measure reaches the floor will con
sumo considerable time and GER
tain senators are sure to debate
the bill at great length.

The advent of the New Deal
found the Court overwhelmingly
conservative in thought and hos
tile in personal PHILOSOPHERS in re-
gard to political, social and eco
nome problems. AS the admin
istration proceeded with its pro-
gram. it aroused the opposition of
certain members who feared that
he American system of govern
ment would be hopelessIy imper-
lied unless the Court prevented
radical dpartures from the for
mer order of things. Consequent
ly, an impasse resulted which
could only be removed by the
death or resignation of enough
members to affect the opinions of
the Court, or by amendment to
the Constitution, or a legislative
proposal such as that submitted
by the President.

On the Presidents side of the
issue involved is the undisputed
approval of the people of this
country. Despite the decisions of
the Court, upsetting the NRA, the
AAA, the Rice Processing tax, the
Guffey Coal Act, the Municipal
Bankruptcy Act, and other legis-
iation, the President and his sup
porters won spectacular victories
at the polls. In fact, the triumph
of the New Dealers has been more
overwhelming in every successive
election. In view of these results,
the President assumes that the
legislative and executive dndoubt-
eddy represent the public opinion
and that desired legislation to
meet modern needs is being
thwarted solely by the fortuitous
circumstance which permits a
rankly conservative court to re-
main in office unaffected by pO-
litical decisions.

So much interest has been
aroused by the proposal of the
President that he be empowered
to appoint. until the total number
of justices reaches fifteen, one
new justice for each member
who has not rsigned within six
months of his SEVENTEEN birthday,
that the public is apt to overlook
the broad reorganization of the en-
tire Federal Court system which
has been urged to speed up and
make modern the function of the
courts. The President would add

doubtedly was surprise and
amazed many members of Con-
gress. Generally, Republicans and
anti-New Deal Democrats de.
nounced it and full-fledged New
Dealers gave it their support. Out
side comment aligned conserva-
tive businessmen against "pack-
ing" the Court. while Labor lead
ers announced their support. Re-
ports Indicated that a fringe of
those who have supported the
Presidents earlier Legislative pro-
gram inclines to desert him on the
crucial court issue.
Stressing the need for 'new

indfectly called attention to the
age of the present justices. Six
of them are past seventy and three
are over seventy-five. Here are

While the Presidents proposal
to change the number of justices
is not new, his position undoubt-
eddy, creates a crisis in the long
history of the court. Originally
in 1889 it had six members. The
number was reduced to five in
1901, up to seven in 1907 and to
nine in 1897. During the Civil
War, the number was ten because
a Confederate was not sitting.
Later the Court was reduced to
seven members and, under Grant,
moved again 20 nine, with the
Presidents accused of packing"
the Court in order to reverse the
four-to-three illegal tender" de-
cision.
