An English professor at Columbia

performance of English ballad opera.
In his study of ballad opera just

During the period from 1928 to 1850,
according to Prof. Gagey, scarcely .

Of Kitty-acting, dancing and singing

Mr.. Gagey also pointed out there

Pipe Dream Of Peace" which is
day-to-day account OF that confer
ence. From it one sees, to be sure,
that the disarmament hoped for
through that conference was a pipe
dream. But one also sees how close,
how tragically close, the nations came
to settlement. Just little more
elasticity here, just a little more COM
mon sense there and the thing might
have come of.
War Spending on Big Scale.
The wealth OF the world, its cur
rent and future income, Is being
pushed at this moment into the nav
OF war machines at a rate without
parallel in history. The armament
going on now is incomparably more
grandoise than that prior to 1914.
England, after IL years of govern
ment frugality and retrenchment, has
changed her whole policy at stroke.
The British know that posterity can
not, or will not, pay either for past
wars or for previous prepara tions for
wars. II a government pays for it's
arms program by deficit financing, it
is likely to create disastrous inf1a-
ton, and, therefore, the arms bills
must be paid, in large part, out of
current income.
That proposal affects us Immediate
ly. We are entangled in 1t, unless
we change our naval policy. For our
naval policy is to build to parity with
Britain.
Britain Sets U. S. Pace.
Our naval program is tied to
Britain's, and Britain's defense pro-
gram is tied up with that OF the rest
Of the world. The Italians have Just
built the two most powerful ships in
existence-the Littorio and the Vittorio
Veneto. They are 35000-ton battle
ships carrying nine 15-inch guns and
having speed Of 35 knots. The only
present British ship Of comparable
speed and fighting power is the old
Hood. So Britain must build to this
model, and we must build to Britain!
The Banker, usually reliable Lon
don publication, estimates that the
Germans have spent sl2,50000 900
in the last four years on arma-
ments, or s3.oO0,Oo0,OO0 a year-a
sum equal to half of the annual United
States budget. I publish these fig
ures with reservations; the informa-
tion is secret in Germany.
France is about to float an internal
loan of l0h billion francs for arms
Her financial situation is bad. She
is looking for money outside. If the
franc should collapse, it is ridiculous
say We would not be affected. We
are entangled with France and Eng
land in the tripratite currency agree
ment, and We accepted the entangle-
ment because after the world debacle
of 1880 that there is nc possible
escape. II France radically devalues
and England follows her, does any
one think that it will not affect us?
We didn't know how to clear our
selves in 1880 and W, don't know now.
Therefore, if any move is made to
halt this ruinous business, let us be
careful before we roundly denounce
it. Even faint hope Is better than
a horrible certainty.

Sideration. Mr.. Roosevelt announced
on the air this week that he frankly
accepted the implication that he
would pack the court" with men of
certain principles proclaimed by him.
He stated the requirements thus:
II will appoint justices who will not
undertake to override the judgment of
the Congress on legislative policy"
Meaning of Commitments.
What these commitments really
mean is that justices who accept nomi-
nations from President Roosevelt vir-
tually agree to give Congress a free
hand and never Ito override the judg-
ment of the Congress on legislative
policy"
What is Legislative policy? Not
justice now on the bencl. has ever
rendered an opinion conceding that
the Supreme Court was in any way
passing on legislative policy. But those
who have disagreed wit, the majority
opinions of the Court always set up
their claim about overriding "legisla-
tive policy just the same.
Obviously when the Supreme Court,
in given law suit, seeks to find out
whether the citizen in law suit is
being deprived of his rights by Con-
gress, it is necessary to examine the
facts and details of every piece of
legislation most exhaustively. And
when a decision is rendered adverse
to the legislation, the reason given Is
that nothing in the Constitution or in
constitutional precedents set hereto
fore by the Supreme Court warrants
an acceptance by the citizen of such
law as valid. The legislation is
