CONCERNING THE SUPREME COURT

As details of national issues gradually filter through it becomes increasingly clear to us who live on the fringe of things in far off Northwestern Alaska, that the mythical cloak of nviolabiity and the legend of inn perviousness criticism built up of late years around the Supreme Court are gradually being dssipated by the light of unprecedented publicity directed at the Su- preme Court during the past few months
 Every real American, irrespective of political incn- aon realizes that the Supreme Court institution of American democratic government must be protected and perpetuaed as our highest tribunal of Justice
 Out of all the tunult and the shouting criticism be found directed at the Supreme Court as an n- stitution of government
 The founding fathers when they left us the priceless heritage of the American constitution, though they were perhaps guided in its writing by Devine Provl- dence, nevertheless left us human document.
 The personnel of the Supreme Court since its incep ton has consisted of mortal men, lawyers it is true but after all just highly educated human beings, subject to the same docyncrasies and fobes that beset the orn ary man History has recorded many great and able members of this Court who had the ability to rise above and transcend the ordinary weaknesses of the flesh but it also records the fact that from time to time it tained members who were plainly actuated in their decisions by bias and prejudice.
 If there is court in the land where judicial de- csons should be free from bias and prejudice and President Roosevelt apty puts it. free from the Jus tices personal economic predelctons, it should be Supreme Court Yet we find men on the present Su- preme ourt like Mr. Justice McReynolds appointed to the Court by President Wilson in 1914.
 Justice McReynolds read newspaper while Justice Brandeis went through the solemn ceremony of becom ing member of this dgnifed body For l2 long years thereafter Justice McReynods never once addressed Justice Brandes by word of mouth although they labor ed side by side performing the duties of the Court
 As classic example of intolerance this has rarely been equalled It has been definitely established whether this petty act of snubbng due to the fact that Justice Brandeis was Jew, because Justice Brandeis was the great liberal jurist of his day.
 horrl1 tbo+o could be tempermentay fitted to render decisions free from personal bias and prejudice It is rather sig nifcant that Justice McReynods batting average is 1000 per cent He is the only member of the Supreme Court who has voted against every single New Deal measure that has come before that Court
 The ire and fire of President Roosevelt is not being directed against the Supreme Court as an institution of government but in part against certain members of the Court who appear to be incapable of rendering deci- slonS that are not based personal economic predc- tions The Constitution says very clearly-'The Am erican form of government is government of law and

Representative Rankin, Democrat

powerful financial interests seem to
have aligned themselves with certain

The apparent purpose, he said, is to

A leader of the public power bloc in
the House, Representative Rankin
went on the radio to denounce peace

aplets for the Christmas teatable.
After a roll call responded to
with memories of my First Christ
mas" the afternoon was turned
over to Mrs. I. B. Burns and Mrs.

program that was both enjoyable
and unusual and that was received
with appreciation by the club mem

asked to join I'm singing Joy to

The secretary of state, under it, can warn
American citizens that they travel in war zones

tions under a license system.
Debate will center mostly on proposals to
nut more mandatory features in the measure,
leaving less to executive discretion, and Tor
curb on exports other than munitions in time
of war.
The more vigorous proponents OF neutrality
will demand a quota system for such commodi-
ties as petroleum and copper, with exports to
a belligerent limited to what they averaged in a
specified period before the war began.
Thus the normal flow OF trade would be per-
mitted. but big export boom such as preceded

avoided.

There is little chance of legislation which
would permit him to declare an embargo against
one beligerent nation and not against It's enemy,
h,,t there is some chance that Roosevelt will
ask that embargo provisions be made to apply
to civil wars, such as the one in Spain.
