A Stronger Court

The Presidents selection of Harlan
F. Stone to succeed Charles Evans
Hughes as Chief Justice of the
United States will serve to keep the
Supreme Court strong.
-. Chief Justice Hughes successor
has been a member of the court as
associate justice since his appoint
ament in 1925 by President Coolidge.
During the intervening sixteen years
he has acquired a background OF
experience in the courts work which
will be of great value to him in his
new post, for the administrative
capacities of Chief Justice are Sec
ond in Importance only to his quail
fications as a lawyer. And skill in
administering the affairs Of the court
necessarily is a product of expert
ence.
Justice Stone is Republican and
served as Attorney General in the
Coolidge cabinet, but his judicial
outlook has never been influenced
by partisan considerations. He once
described the law as a human in
stitution for human needs" and dur
ing his long and distinguished service
on the bench he has consistently
endeavored to treat constitutional
questions with reference to the
teachings of practical economic and
social experience. Often joining in
dissents of the liberal minority on
the "old court" in recent years he
has sided with the majority in sup
porting administration measures, but
has steadfastly refused to join the
Roosevelt appointees in what critics
Of the court have described as Judi
cial laWmaking" In his Judgment
the line between the judicial and
the legislative function is sharply
drawn, and he has not hesitated to
condemn decisions by both the 'old"
and the new" court which sought
by judicial decree to read into a
statute a meaning which Congress
had not given to it.
It may be doubted whether the
President, in selecting new Chief
Justice, could have chosen any other
man in whom the public, long
acquainted with his integrity and
his outstanding ability would have
had greater confidence.
To fill the vacancy created by the
advancement of Justice Stone, the
President has chosen his Attorney
General, Robert H. Jackson; while
Senator James F. Byrnes of South
Carolina has been named as success
sor to Justice McReynolds, retired.
Both Mr. Jackson and Senator
Byrnes are known as loyal supporters
of the administration and they may
be expected, on major constitutional
questions, to see eye to eye with the
five members of the court already
appointed by President Roosevelt.
But this does not imply any criticism
of either nomination. The Attorney
General and the Senator from South
Carolina are men Of exceptional
ability and their integrity is OF the
highest order. When they take their
places on the Supreme Court, that
tribunal which symbolizes the Amer
lean concept of even-handed justice,
they may be expected, confidently,
to serve with distinction.

To the Editor of The Star:

as I may have on the course of events in
Europe. Any opinions that may reach
on the trend of war events cannot be
due to German propaganda.

Thinks Increases
Are Deceptive.

To the Editor of The Star:
We must eliminate strikes. Let Con-
gress pass law to the effect that un-
less employers and employees can get
together, the Government will draw up
a settlement by which they must abide.
If the average man would stop to
think, he would realize that increase in
wages only means increase in the cost
of everything we use. For instance, in
crease to miners means increase in the
cost of coal; increase to automobile work.
ers means increase in the cost of auto
mobiles. AL increases in pay are passed
along to consumers to meet. You may
give bricklayers and carpenters more,
but it only will add to the cost of the
houses they have to live in.

 MT. Goes ofice at the Y.M.C.A. states that the U.S.O. set out to raise sl0,760, 900. This amount was raised nationally, but the United States govel ament proceeded to call up a larger number of trainees than orig lnally planned. This meant that the U.S.O. needs will approximate about k16O00,000. Contributions are con- tinually coming in for the U. s. O. natior ally, just the same as in Wa terbury.

1 Army to undertake construction of the U. S. o. clubhouses in order to avoid further governmental delay in getting them into operation, MT Smith explained. The Government, he said, had promised to build and furnish the clubhouses, while the U ', s. O. was to operate them with the SIS 100000 raised during a nation wide campaign earlier this year.
 The clubhouses will vary in size and construction depending upon their location, but in general will be 89 in size and construction depend ing upon their location, but in gen. eral will be 89 by 14O feet. Each will have g. main lounge, social hall with stage, shower and locker room, study and reading room, soda fountain and comfort facilities. They will be of wood on cement foundation and stand one-story high with some wings and sections of two stories.

Smith said. '"The U. s O. agencies are striving to give oul fighting men the moforts and inter. ests of their home communities" In operation the U. s. O. club houses will adhere closely to thu time-tested~pattern evolved by thu Y. M. c. A. in its nearly 100 yearl experience in meeting the needs oi young men. While awaiting the con- Struction of the clubhouSes, the six agencies in the U. s. o. have been very active, MT. Smith stated. The U. s. O. has now, throughout the country, and in the Canal Zone, Ha- waii, Alaska, Newfoundland and the West Indies, 293 units in operation, with 161 as actual clubs for the men in service. More than 600 workers are now on the job, in rented quar- ters outside the camps, and on 24- hour duty with troops on maneuvers
