Washington, May 24.-(AP)-The

ers against another depression, and
to provide for them in old age, emerg-
ed unscathed today from it's constitu-
tional test by the Supreme Court.
In epochal decisions, the tribunal
sustained provisions of the Federal
measure providing unemployment in
surance and old age pensions. In then
upheld State unemployment compen-
sation laws to supplement the Federal
act.
This major administration victory
gave it a clean sweep in it's litigation
before the high tribunal this term.
Promptly, some opponents predicted
that it meant defeat for President
Roosevelt's program to put new blood
on the court.
Administration support today, how
ever, refused to concede this point.
Justice Stone delivered the five-to-
four opinion upholding the Alabama
unemployment compensation act, 81
milar to those enacted by 43 other
states and by the District Of Colum-
bia. It was a test case of the legisla-
ton.
The provisions of the unemploy-
ment insurance sections of the Fed
eral act were upheld by five-to-four
VOTE and those granting old age PEN
sions by a seven-to-two ballot. Both
decisions were delivered by Justice
CardoZo.
Early this term the high tribunal
sustained by four-to-four vote 81
milar law enacted by New York. The
evenly divided vote was due to the
absence of Justice Stone, then i'll.
The four justices who dissented to
the Federal unemployment insurance
and the State unemployment compen-
sation decisions were Van Devanter,
McReynolds, Sutherland and Butler,
those generally described by the ad-
ministration as conservatives. JUS
tees CardoZo delivered the majority
opinion in the cases.
Only Justices McReynolds and But
Ter dissented to the old-age pension
rulings.
In his opinion, Justice Stone assert
ed that the Alabama law, ION it's face
and as applied to appelles, is subject
to no constitutional infirmity."
Approximately 27,8OO,OOO workers
and 100000 employers are taxed to
provide the old age benefits which
start in 1892, when the recipient be-

He came busting to the chateau

Abandonment of the cruise was an

no reason but there have been reports
the British government has refused to
allot warship for protection of the

rent for cruise that would take him
around the coast of Spain.

debt reached its peak of twenty-six
billion to reduce it by ten millions.
That reduction was more rapid than
had ever been known before in any
nation and it was made possible be-
cause Of the prosperity which we en-
joyed during those twelve years.
1t would seem, therefore, that we
must consider not only a slowing
down of individual debt making, but
sharp curtailment of national debt
making as well. If we do not, a
yawning cavern of unsounded
depths awaits us.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Roosevelt
sent instructions to the various
agencies of the government to save
ten per cent out of the operations for
the current fiscal year to help in
balancing the budget. There were
no ifs, nor ands, nor butts about
President Roosevelt's instructions.
The spending agencies were told
simply to lay aside that ten per
cent which, in the aggregate, would
amount to around four hundred mil
lion dollars. The President said
during speech at the great Colum-
bia river dam the other day that he
hoped to balance the budget in the
next fiscal year. Most other people
hope that the Presidents hope is
realized because Mr.. Roosevelt has
stated several times that the budget
will be balanced next year" and
some OF us are beginning to wonder
whether his budget balancing state
ments are not like the statements
which President Hoover made at
the beginning of the depression.

Der OF times that prosperity In
Just around the corner" q corner

eve the People"
And Our Constitution
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
i. Sentineis Of the Republic

I'VE THE PEOPLE Of the United
States, In order to form q more Fer
feet union. establish Justice, insure
domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defence, promote the general
Welfare. and secure the Blessings Of
Liberty TO ourselves and our POsterity,
do Ordain and establish this Constitu-
ton for the United States Of America"
That, as every one knows, Is the
Preamble Of our famous Constitution,
whose 150th anniversary America now
celebrates.
To world accustomed to rule by
kings or favored cEqueS, the American
Constitution must have seemed both
startling and impractical when signed
at Philadelphia's historic Independence
Hall. on September II. 1857.
But today we know It's worth. His-
tory, and the unprecedented deve;ap-
ment Of the United States In area, In
prestige, and I'm the progress Of all its
people, has demonstrated how effective
. form Of government was established
On that firm foundation.
Today it stands an object Of rever-
ence by all Americans; o model Of
freedom 70 the oppressed OF al nations.
At this time Of nation Wide cele-
bration, America pays tribute not to
the Constitution alone, but also to the
men who out Of their experience and
their aspirations for q free and happy
nation wrote that famous Charter Of
Liberty.
But such tribute, however sincere,
Is not enough. The strength and power
Of the Constitution depend ON the Cup
port Of every successive generation to
which It guarantees liberty and oppor-
tunity.
Only by that support have we re-
manned In the past, and can we remain
In the future, government Of the
people. by the people and for the people.
Only by that support can We the
People continue to rule.
That Is the message ana the spirit Of
the Constitution Day Celebration.

THE WRONG SPIRIT

this town is an exception to
the rule. It is easy to look
back and point out cam
paigns for improvements that
were badly needed that failed
because of this type of citi-
zen.
When a man realizes that
any progressive movement
for the good of the COM
munity as a whole benefits
him also as an individual,
then he is the sort of citizen
to have around. When he
valves aside the fact that
maybe such a movement will
bring a dollar or two more
to a neighbor, but goes right
ahead boosting and cooperat-
ing, he makes himself worth
something to his town and is
eventually rewarded in re-
turn, although that reward
may come to him in an in
direct way. No man ever
lost anything trying to make
his home town a better place
in which to live, and no man
ever gained anything by re-
fusing to cooperate in a civic
movement for fear the other
fellow would 'get something
out of it,"
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1937-10-14

There probably isn't a
town lin America wholly free
of that type of citizen who,
when asked to cooperate in
some sort of public move
ment, first asks himself what
some other fellow down the
street is going to get out of
it. He may not ask the
question openly, but always
there is a suspicion in his
mind that promoting any
movement for the good of
the community is first going
to work to the financial gain
of someone else. And if he
refuses to put his shoulder to
the wheel, nine times out Of
ten it is because he has the
idea that someone is going to
profit more from such move
ment than he will.
That sort of spirit has done
more than any other one
thing to handicap a town in
its efforts to advance. Call
it pure selfishness, or envy
of someone else in the com,
munity, or what you will,
the fact remains that one or
more citizens of this type are
to be found in every town.
And we are not positive that

YOUR SCHOOLS

When their children start
off to school in the morning
that seems to end interest in
them until they return home
with a vast number of
mothers. Somehow it has
never occurred to them to
take a few minutes off from
household duties some after
noon and drop in at the
school house just for a little
visit. They do not realize
that it holsters the morale of
the children to see their par
ents interested in school
work, and that it also re-
fleets a genuine interest in

the welfare and progress of
this all-important institution.
Teachers and pupils alike
will take more interest in
their work when they find,
through the personal visits
of parents, that interest is
being taken in them. It will
also serve the good purpose
OF revealing how well and
capably the children of school
age are being taken care of
by those in whose charge
they now spend a goodly por-
ton of their time. You may
be sure of a welcome, and
you will return home with a
deeper pride in your school.

Washingtop.-It may be, as I have
frequently been told, that the aver
age person-Mr.
Fe0eTot John @. Public
Reserve has very little in
terest IN the do
ings of the federal reserve system.
It may be true that the average
citizen accepts the federal reserve
banks as a thing apart and of little
or no concern to him because they
are so far removed and, further,
because they indulge in what the
demagogues used to call thigh f.
nance"
Whether my information is cor
rect and regardless of the public
concept of the federal reserve sys-
tenn, / am devoting some space this
week to discussion of certain de-
velopments in the federal reserve
banking structure in an attempt to
show the trend Of money conditions
in this country at the moment.
Lately, the federal reserve board
Of governors announced a revision
of its regulations governing dis
counts and advances by federal re-
serve banks. Now, it may be said
that these regulations affect only the
banks that are members of the re-
serve system. That is true but it
is not the whole truth because ev-
erything that the federal reserve
board of governors and the federal
he do "a
me and everyone else whether we
are little fellows and, therefore, un-
important individually, or whether
we are trustees of great sums of
money such as is the case with cor
poration presidents.
The board of governors, in the
revision of its regulations, has
made it possible-H not obligatory
for the reserve banks to take al
most any kind Of paper that IS an
evidence of debt. That is, the re-
serve banks are now empowered to
receive from the member banks
that paper upon which you and ]
borrow, any paper that shows that a
citizen owes the bank money, and
to give that bank money in ex-
change for the evidence Of that debt.
Everyone, of course, is familiar
with a note or a mortgage ON q
piece of real estate. Most people
understand about installment paper
which is simply a note providing
for payment of the amount due over
a period of months. But there are
many other kinds Of evidence of
debt that is in frequent use among
business men from the smallest
storekeeper in a rural village to the
greatest banker in the world. I'm
der the regulations now operative
in the federal reserve system there
seems to be almost no paper which
the local banker cannot send to the
federal reserve bank and receive
cash in exchange. OF course, that
obligation must be paid off some
time and the arrangement simply
permits the federal reserve banks
to carry the debt until its maturity.
AL of this obviously sounds as
though the federal reserve system
is at last to be helpful to us little
] fellows. That is true. 1t is going
to be helpful in increasing the num-
Der of us little fellows who get our
selves in debt. 1t is going to do
that because it makes getting into
debt easier.
! think no one should object to
the reserve board regulations in all
details. There must be credit given
where credit is needed; that is to
say when you prohibit borrowing
money you choke off eighty-fve per
cent of all of the business done in
the United States. Yet, credit is
dangerous. a double-edged sword

and must be handled with extreme
caution by the borrowers as well
as by the lenders. As we have seen
from the inglorious debacle Of 1929,
there can be too much credit ex-
tended, and when l say that, I refer
not only to loans by banks but the
sale Of goods, wares and merchan-
disc that enter into everyday life.
And, going bit further on that
line, there can be too much cred
it extended by the manufacturer
and jobber to retail merchandising
establishments just as easily as
there can be too much credit ex-
tended by the retail merchants to
you or to me. One can get into
debt over his head just as easily
by purchasing at retail or wholesale
as by buying more land than we can
afford to own or home larger than
we need.
So, a discussion of what the board
Of governors Of the federal reserve
system has done can lead In this
instance only to conclusion that

do not want to exaggerate pres
emit conditions or signs as see them.
This is no time to
O0nr Oer become excited.
Excited There are, how
ever, boundaries
beyond which we cannot 20 in the
matter of credit without facing an
other tailspin of the type of 1929.
That is the thing ! fear may result
from an accumulation Of federal
policies Of which the late action by
the federal reserve board is only
one.
It is perfectly human and natural
for each one Of us to aspire to better
things, to have more of this worlds
goods for our enjoyment and to
equip ourselves by way of greater
resources for the future. We win do
those things sometimes when we
ought not to do them simply be-
cause the instruments are available
and we do not stop to count the nj
innate cost To the extent, then, that
the federal reserve board probably
has made borrowing easier it has
tempted certain percentage OF cit
liens, or win tempt them in the
future.
The condition Of easier debt that is
now presented is, as I have said, on
ly one of many temptations and in
ducements for getting into debt that
has been offered by the Roosevelt
policies. II is unnecessary to re-
count here how many pieces of
legislation, how many executive and
administrative rules have been
made to permit citizens to use mon
ey that is not their own. They are
almost numberless. The result has
been, is, and will continue to be the
creation of a lot of debt that will
hang over us all for years to come.
The federal government itself has
taken the lead in getting into debt.
The latest Treasury statement shows
that the United States government
owes more than thirty-seven billion
dollars. That amounts to 1921 .63 for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. Compare that with
the national debt as of 1882 when it
stood at SIS, 500, OOO,0 900 or a debt of
$155.93 for every living person in
the United States.
