The case of the Smith appoint
ment to second term on the labor
board may furnish a precedent of
far-reaching Importance. If a
coalition of conservatives on the
Democratic side and Republicans
should be formed to defeat Mr..
Smith, it will be strange corrobora-
ton of the much denounced theory
of President Roosevelt, who removed
a member of the Federal Trade
Commission, the late William E.
Humphrey, because, as the President
wrote frankly, the viewpoint of the
commissioner did not go along
with" the mind of the Chief Execu-
tive.
Mr.. Roosevelt's contention was re-
pudiated by a unanimous opinion of
the nine justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States and the
entire conservative group in Amer
lea applauded heartily. Will they
now reverse themselves when the
A. F. of L. or any other organization

nomination will raise and it will be

T. v. Smith Is Prize

philosophical, and also politically

From England, through the me-
dium of the widely circulated and
highly regarded Newsletter, pub
lished by Comdr. Stephen King Hall,
political commentator well-known in
this country, comes novel sugges-
ton for financing the migration Of
German refugees. His proposal is as
follows: Let the democratic and
civilized nations, led by the United
States of America and Great Britain
(there are q countries represented
on the Intergovernmental Refugees
Committee), create refugee postage
stamps of purchase price greater
than their postal value. For ex-
ample, in Great Britain the half
penny refugee stamp would cost
penny and the 1l2d. refugee stamp
would cost 3D. The difference be-
tween the postal value of these
stamps and their cost, to be paid
by each participating country into
a central fund to be administered by
the Intergovernmental Refugees
Committee I believe that by this
scheme a sum of 100000 would
be raised quite easily. One of its
great merits in my opinion is that
it would enable every single person
who feels a desire to take action. to
tax himself voluntarily by using the
refugee stamps, and thus show that
democratic and humanitarian prin-
ciples are not confined to words and
fine sayings
Recent visitors to Washington in
cluded a prominent San Francisco
lawyer who flew here on behalf of
clients who wish to facilitate the
escape of relatives from South Ger

partment that. although the total
German annual quota is

American consulate alone, in Stuff

tons for visas to this country. AS
an indication of the desperation of
German Jews, who long to reach the
United States, Washington woman
has received a letter from a total
stranger in Reich city, asking If
out of the goodness of her heart
she would not furnish one of the re-
quired affldavits permitting a refugee
to apply for an emigration permit
The letter writer said she had chosen
the Washington woman's name and
address at random from a telephone
directory which she ran across at
the local consulate.
