Virginia Example

THE Senators likewise had
L reason to believe that the
poor men" whom Mr.. R. had
in mind were not the same
poor men" they have recon-
mended for these jobs. A nota-
BILE instance has developed in
Virginia. Last January Sena-
tors Glass and Byrd got to-
gether on a substantially poor"
appointee for an existing va.
cant western Virginia Judge
ship.
Their recommendation went to
the White House and has re-
manned there, leading them to
believe the poverty which the
President may require for the
bench is poverty of unsympa-
thetic legal ideas rather than Of
purse.
NOTES-Eighty architects are
working in the Justice Depart
ment drawing plans for the
eight new Federal prisons to cost
$13,000,000, and Congressman
are scrambling to have them To-
Gated in their home districts. 81.
Two large Eastern and one Far
Western railroads are being def
nitely mentioned as summer
prospects for the bankruptcy
court. The New Dealers are
pulling for Louis Brann in the
Maine primary Monday, al
though he is listed as an anti
New Dealer. They figure he has
the best chance to beat Republi-
can Governor Burrows, who is
slated to win the Republican
primary. Washington Ne W s.
man Henry Hyde's story of Vice
President Garner in a weekly
magazine next week is gospel.

the Government is throttling loans

longer terms than banks can now

The Treasury and the FDIC are

themselves always the first to cite the law to
justify their actions-there is no strict obliga-
ton on the part Of the attacking nation to
permit evacuation Of foreign nationals under
ALL circumstances.
1t is normal to allow such excavations when
it can be done without completely defeating the
purposes of the attacking nation.
Consider two points:
First, the japanese government has repeatedly
requested foreigners to leave war areas before
it is too late.
Second, President Roosevelt last September
publicly, in strong words, urged Americans to
leave China; that our Navy was then placing
itself at their disposal for evacuation and that
those Americans who chose to remain would do
so at their own risk.

CHANGES FRACTIONAL
Fractional changes were the
general rule. U. s. Gypsum was
up almost a point at its top, as
was Douglas Aircraft, but these
were reduced in late dealings.
Leaders, including Chrysler, U.

closing levels.

RECORD IS SET.
BY HOUSE GROUP
$254.30 Spent Probing
Judge Nominees
By EARL GOODWIN

This may be the day Of Twenty
Billion-D Dollar Congresses, billion
dollar battleship programs and
million-dollar governmental inves-
tigations-but the 18th Congress
just closed also hung up a record
for bargain costs in the investiga-
ton Of the judiciary which re-
suited in the adding of % Fed
eral judges to the bench.
Of which the first man picked
was fellow townsman Bolitha J.
Laws.
TOTAL COST $254.3O
The same Congress which au-
thorized more than a million dol
lars to investigate the Bell Tele-
phone system; and half a million
dollars to investigate other gigan-
tic monopolies, spent just $254.3
in finding out that the Federal
bench needed % more judges and
various changes in its judicial pro-
cedure.
This bit of small change was
expended under the careful eye Of
Chairman Hatton w. Summers,
Texas Democrat. who heads the
Judiciary Committee Of the House.
The House placed $4,000 in
the hands of the Judiciary Com
mittee to survey the Federal
bench. Ordinarily, this would have
been spent-and more, too.
INDIVIDUAL RESEARCH
However, Chairman Summers, a
veteran Representative from back
in the Wilson days, has concluded
that congressional hearings are
not as effective as individual re-
search, sometimes. In the case of
the examination of the judiciary
and the situation surrounding it.
he spent most of the $254.30 in
letter-writing and the examination
of individuals who had q wide
range of knowledge.
Then, too, the members Of the
Judiciary committees Of both
houses have a first-hand knowl
et.ge themselves. many Of them
having been judges; all of then
having practiced in court-most
Of them In Federal courts. It die
net take them any vast length
of time to find out what they
needed to know.
HUGE REFUND PLANNED
Hence out of the $4,000 II
hand the contingent fund may gel
back all but the $254.30 spoken
Of heretofore. Or it may be thai
a few dollars may be expended
for further information which
may be turned to account in the
next Congress.

dozen years or so the House has

overextended credit, leading to
badly adjusted production and
inventories.
The other half of this de-
preston is caused by unsound
political interference with eco
nomic forces. The New Deal
Administration built up an
inflationary boom. and then
tried to stop it suddenly by
clamping down deflation
brakes. This stalled the motor,

The Panay Issue

IN the Panay incident there was considerable
evidence to uphold the American case that
either the Panay was deliberately bombed or
that, with elementary precautions, the Japanese
easily could have seen it was an American ship
The Panay might, in certain respects be cited
as an example of damage done to third power
through a bombing that was avoidable. But
neither could the same incident be taken as
precedent for responsibility for damage that
was unavoidable in war.like activities.
If new incident rises from Admiral Yarnell's
determination to take American warships up the
Yangtze River, the sole and only question will
be: Could or could not the damage have been
avoided under the circumstances?
The damage itself will not be enough, under
international law theory and practice, on which
to base claim against Japan The claim will
have to be based on decision of whether the
damage could or could not have been avoided
after due precautions. And the pity of it all
is that emotion and hysteria all too often de-
stroy the sane reasoning necessary at such times
to prevent a nation plunging into war.

Bank Deposits Would Be Safe

Bank Deposits Would Be Safe
OOLVAY, N. Y, asks: IF there were bank
~ panic, would safe deposit boxes be safe?
Might red tape keep one from getting at them?
Do you consider common stocks of leading steel,
motor, oil and electric equipment companies to
be first class investments now?"
They would be safe. Under any ordinary con-
ditions you could get at them.
Yonkers, N. Y, asks: What does it mean to
'sterilize' gold? To earmark' gold? What would
be the effect of return to the gold standard?
To sterilize gold is to handle it so it does not
enter the monetary circulation or broaden the
credit base. Usually it is put in an inactive
fund.-" not counted as reserve.
To earmark is to enter on the books claim
to certain amount of gold, without actually
paying it out or exporting it.
If we were to return to gold now, the effect
would depend upon the spending policy and the
balancing Of the budget.

Senator. Declares.

Granting Of independence to the
Philippines is not creating an inde-

but it is turing those islands and

natural resources over to Japan"
Senator Gibson, Republican, of Yer
mont, told the Senate yesterday.
Advocating indefinite continuation
Of Philippine-American relationship,
Senator Gibson said 1.-THE United
States affords the Philippines inter-
national protection, tari1-free mar
ket, government financial aid, capi-
tai, experience and friendly interest,
while the Philippines offer tropical
raw materials, growing protected
market, field for investment and de-
