THE judicial branch" he said,
also is asked by the people to do
its part in making democracy sue
cessful. We do not ask the courts
to call nonresident powers into
being, but we have q right to ex-
pect that conceded powers or those
legitimately implied shall be made
effective instrumnts for tn common
good"
Observers differ In explaining
failure Of the supreme court to
hand down anti-New Deal decisions
since the election. Some say 1t is
because the court was impressed
by the popular political uprising In
behalf Of the president. 1t is more
logical, however, to believe the JUS
tees are awaiting return to the
bench Of Associate Justice Harlan
F. Stone, who Is Ill.
Chief among pending New Deal
cases Is challenge to constitution
atty Of the Wagner labor relations
act-labor's current guaranty Of
collective bargaining.
Cuse Faces Loss
New York, Jan. 7-(UP)
Cuse, the Jersey City exporter who
stirred congress into frenzied action
to tighten the nations neutrality
laws, faced heavy loss today on the
$2,770,o00 worth of aircraft, engines
and other supplies he planned to
ship TO the Spanish loyalist govern
ment.
Eight airplanes and miscellaneous
parts were all that Cuse was able
to ship before congress passed a
resolution to make further ship
ments unlawful. His cargo got away
safely aboard the Spanish steamer
Mar Cantabrico only after the coast
guard had permitted the vessel to
continue after hating 1t of Sandy
Hook.
President Roosevelt is expected to
sign the resolution Friday, making
it law. Cuse then will be forced
to find another purchaser for his
remaining stock, and q purchaser
with whom he can deal without vio-
lating the governments strict neu-
trality act.
Work at Top Speed
Stevedores worked at top speed
loading the Mar Cantabrico. In ad-
dition to Cuse's shipment, the yes
sci carried soup kitchens, clothing,
gas masks and other war defense
materials. Several cases Of aircraft
parts were left on the dock. Value
Of the cargo was estimated at
100000.
Customs inspectors delayed the
sailing for few minutes when they
insisted on examining cargo in the
iship's hold. They ordered the crew
to obliterate the inscription ~. s..
Army" which appeared on some Of
the cases. AS soon as the inspectors
went ashore, Capt. Jose Santa Maria
gave orders to sail.
Ordered to Halt
Making about II knots, the vessel
was off Sandy Hook when the coast
guard patrol ship 1cvarus ordered
her to halt. The coast guard acted
for U. S. marshals who had a writ
issued few minutes earlier by Fed
eral Judge Grover M. Moscowitz
against any property aboard the YES
sci consigned to Irdalecio Prieto,
loyalist air minister.
The writ was obtained by attor-
neys for Bert Acosta and Gordon K.
Berry, American flyers now return
ing from Spain, who claimed 1900
back pay and damages" No mate
rails consigned TO Pieto were found
-Cuse's shipment was consigned to
a corporation In Spain-and coast
guard officers could not prevent the
ship from proceeding.
The Mar Cantabrico was cleared
for Yer Cruz, Mexico, where she will
complete her cargo before sailing
for Spain.
