l mas enough ana even TOO mucn WitD
which to contend.
The simple fact of the matter is that
trade is fostered by table exchange
rate, not by an unstable one. except
for short period when exchange
PARTIES are rising. But even here the
Iexpansion is artificial and merely re-
fleets an effort to keep abreast of a
depreciating currency. A fiuctuating
monetary standard delays and ham,
pers business; it creates doubts, un-
certainties, risks, and delays. A sound
currency based upon unit of fixed
weight relieves doubts, removes many
uncertainties, reduces various risks,
and encourages business to proceed.
That type of uncertainty which
would grow out of lowering our for
eign exchange PARTIES would be par
| ticuIarly bad and severe because it
would point toward losses and invite
a liquidation. Considering all the
other torments heaped upon business
these days. move of this sort might
well precipitate a severe and a thor
oughly useless and unWise business
relapse.
AS a weapon to fight imitation that
particular device is not the proper one
to employ. Devaluation and imitation
Of currency are two distinctly diff
ferent things: similarly, lowering the
price of gold--that is, increasing the
weight of the gold dollars some
thing quite different from squeezing
Initiation out of a currency. A liquida-
ton ia business can be caused by sew
eral things which may have little OF
nothing to do with preceding infia-
ton of the currency; it may grow out
Of anything that reduces the prospects
for profits. Today there are many
forces at work in this country that
point in this direction. Among them
may be mentioned the labor situation,
the harassing of business by the gov
eminent. the threat of heavier taxa
ton, and the recently added Eccles
suggestion that the price of gold be
lowered.
The weapons for fighting imitation
lie in balancing the Federal budget
by cutting expenses, not by raising
taxes; in an independent Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System using its instruments of credit
control properly: and in government
encouragement Of business enterprise.
Our currency devaluation may
have been a bad and unnecessary
thing, as | think it was. Cutting Al
per cent off the gold standard is quite
like cutting Al per cent off ones leg.
One may recognize the mistake after
ward, but to attempt to correct it by
another piece of surgery is hardly
sensible. We have our 50 per cent
dollar and the unhappy consequences
which that particular device brought
US, but we should make the best of
the situation and not again run the
risks involved in having more surgery
performed by diagnosticians who can
not seem to see that the swelling lies
in another part of the economic body,
that it is due to an unbalanced budget,
and that totally unnecessary trouble
would be added to the many suffer-
ings being endured by the body eco
nomic and polite if a splicing opera
ton is now to be added to the unwiSe
amputation.

said that with the understanding they
had the approval Of the President, the
Platform Committee had declared that
'if the social and economic program
of the party could not be solved by
legislation within the Constitution,
We would seek such clarifying amend
ments as would assure the Legislatures
of the several States and to the Con-
greSS, each within its own jurisdiction,
the power to enact those laws"
An increase in the number of
justices of the Supreme Court had
been suggested before the convention
met" George said. We declared that
we would go back to the people who
alone have the power to make or
change the Constitution If we could
not carry out the program within
the letter and spirit of the Constitu-
ton.
During the memorable campaign
that followed no responsible voice was
raised in any quarter for the legisla-
tion which is now demanded Of the
Congress.

President has now demanded of the
National Legislature q subservient
judiciary"
Copeland asserted independence of
the judiciary has been an outstanding
characteristic of American democracy.
Thus far" he sail no major
political party has dared to go before
the people on an issue making the
courts subservient to the executive
power"
Black, on the other hand, asserted
five Supreme Court justices are pay
ing "only lip service to the Constitu-
ton" The court, he said, had blocked
the liberal" policies of the Roose-
velt administration, which had been
given mandate by voters of 46 States.
Persons who propose constitutional
amendment to restrict the courts
powers, he declared, are talking
''in bad faith" They would oppose
adoption Of such an amendment, he
said.

out that the 1896 Democratic plat

In that pledge to the people" he
said, there is no suggestion of the
easy solution of our difficulties

In rebuttal, Senator Black con-
cluded
The appointment of additional
judges couldn't make conditions any
worse for the masses Of the people
than they have been under the rule

be we won't have to appoint six

The Governors said they were unani-

other forms of employment to all needy

they said, should not be removed from
