d Politician Speaks
From The Supreme Court

A tnorough-going study of Associate
Justice Hugo L. Blacks Ku KluX Klan
speech of last Friday night leaves us
Just about where we were before. Out
of the entire abominable situation comes
just one cheerful thought: that the AM
erican public should have been and prob
ably has been taught lesson. 1t should
be many years before any chief eXecu-
tive appoints and any congess confirms
an outright politician to the United States
Supreme court.
There will always remain question
whether Justice Black was brave man
in admitting former affiliatlon with the
Ku Klux Klan, or whether he was Just
on a spot and could not do anything else
There will be controversy over his state
ment that he has had nothing to do with
the Klan since before he became United
States senator. considering that Klan
show his attendance at one meeting, at
least. after he was elected. And biggest
of ALL there still remains the question:
why did Hugo Black join the Klan in
the first place? Political eXpediency,
perhaps. If So is there any place on
the Supreme Court for a man who would
swear fealty to a set of principles which
are entirely un-American, just for the
sake of a-few votes?
There will be lot of talk, undoubted-
ly, about these things In the end, they
will lead to no definite action. Justice
Black will remain on the Supreme Court,
now that he has been appointed and con-
firmed, until he dies, resigns or retires.
We might as we'll make up our minds to
that.
Realizing this, We might as well make
the best of a bad situation by taking to
heart the lesson-it teaches us. lie, that
a Supreme Court appointment should
not be made political tool. If the sane
tity of the constitution is to be placed in
hands of politicians, hat sanctity swill
cease to exist. When it does, we might
as well scrap the constitution and de-
pend upon the President and congress
to make and enforce all of our laws,
without let or hindrance.
A court that is nothing but rubber
stamp to mark OK" on legislation
that is put before it might as we'll not
exist. Any appointment tending toaere-
ate such a court is a bad one. 1t is up
to the public to realize this.

Bruce Cation Says:
- Americans Big Stake in Powerful Navy

put a nation on its muscle. Build
great fleet or a great army and
you will sooner or later go looking
for a chance to use it-so ran the
argument. But our own recent ex-
perience disapproves that. We have
one of the two mightiest navies on
earth-yet we have resolutely kept
our skirts clear of all ENHANCEMENT
in the Mediterranean, and have
followed, in China. precisely the
course We would have followed if
our fleet were small and weak.
And as we do this We have the
comfort of knowing that the war
cannot be brought to our own
shores. What happened to Nam
king and Madrid won't happen to
San Francisco or New York Not
until our navy is destroyed-an
there exists today no power that
could destroy it-can that be in
flicted on us.
Our old pre-War outlook which
held that strong ornaments were
somehow incompatible with peace
loving democracy, has had to
change. Democracy today is on
trial as never before. 1t has to be
strong enough to defend itself
against powers which would de-
stroy it.
Until this turbulent and uncer-
tain era passes, it is hard to see
how We can do anything else than
keep our fleet as strong as the
strongest and as ready as the read
lest.

WASHINGTON that the Supreme
Court might act in way or another to keep
Justice Hugo L. Black from its bench, although
not considered very strong one calls attention
TO the courts recent record on cases involving
civil and religious minority liberties such as
were threatened by the Ku KluX Klan.
One idea is that the court might consent to
hear a suit contesting Blacks right to sit, on
the ground that he in a Senate which voted
new emoluments for Supreme Court justices.
Another rumor is that the other justices might
decide that Black ineligible in case he were
found to have taken the Klan oath. assuming
that oath were found to pledge a taker to con-
tinued intolerance toward Jews, Catholics, Ne
groes and aliens
In case that isn't simply pipe-dream-and no
one is whispering that any justice actually
talked to him about 1.-THE position of justices
who have taken strong or weak positions as
to rights of Negroes Catholics or jews in certain
cases might be important factor
At its last term the court voted five to
four to invaldate the old Georgia "insurrection'
law under which Angelo Herndon young Negro
Communist leader had been sentenced to 20
years for distributig literature
Although in 1885 it had refused to review
an appeal technical grounds, this year
majorty-Chief Justice Hughes Justice Rob-
erts and the liberal trio of Brandeis Stone and
Cardozo-heard the same case and held the
Georgia law unconstitutional interference
with free speech and contrary to the due pro-
cess clause. Herndon's conviction, the majori-
ty said. was based on no evidence Of any clear
and present danger to the state.
In 1925 the court ruled against the Klan-
supported Oregon parochial school law which
struck at Roman Catholics by barring all pri-
vate schools. No state, the court said, had
power to standardize its children by forcing
them to take instruction from public teachers

Although the supreme bench had approved
refusal of the Democratic party in Texas to
allow Negroes TO vote in its primaries, it set
aside the convictions of two Scottsboro defend
ants in 1885 on the ground that Negroes had
been barred from the jury. Last year it una
nmously freed three Mississippi Negroes on the
ground that their concessions had been obtained
by torture.
These are only a few of the outstanding
recent cases. In previous years its record

The Reason for
Newspaper Week

1t sounds a bit conceited for us to
say that newspapermen know better
than anyone else the Importance of news
papers, but it is true. Yet that realiza-
tion is based on comparatively simple
set Of facts, apparent to anyone who
stops to- think This week, set aside by
Governor Merriam as Newspaper Week in
California, presents the opportunity for
such thought 9i
Did you ever stop to realize that the
newspaper is your only actual, depend
able link with the outside world?
If it were not for the newspapers and
news gathering organizations, you would
not know what was transpiring today in
New York, or even Los Angeles. You
would not know what happened this week
in Washington. You would not be able
to sit in your home and know the price
of steak at your store. You would not
even know what your neighbors across
town were doing.
1t is true you might tune IN on the
radio-but experience has been that you
would hear only minor part Of the
news, and most of the time only one
side of that This is not radios fault,
it is the fault of laws which give the fed
eral government control of radio, and
of circumstances which surround the
building of radio programs.

Even the most convinced pacifist

We seem ii have passed entirely
out of the era in which interna-

meant anything in particular. What
makes the present SO dark and the
future so discouraging is the fact
that the world has reverted to the

A nations only safeguard lies in
its own strength; and it is ex-
tremely comforting to see that
Americas strength is fully imple-

luckiest nations for a century and

own way.
But lucky nations are on the
spot nowadays. The nations which
have not been lucky have set out to
take the things which have been
denied them. In Ethiopia, in Spain
and in China We have had ample
opportunity to see just how deter
mined and ruthless this desire to
get a better share of the good
things of this earth can make
