THESE DAYS

THE Montgomery Ward case,
Il like the sick chicken case
which ended the NRA, centers
about the ques tion as 10
whether we are 10 have an or
derly government or an an
archy.
Our written Constitution i'm
pedes the personal rule Of any
one man CT any group of men.
The Wallace incident is as
significant as the Montgomery
Ward case.
Were that appointment not
hedged by constitutional limita-
tions on the appointive power
of the President. Mr. Roosevelt
needed only to have dismissed
Jesse Jones and put Henry Wal
lace in his place, giving conSid-
Grafton solely TO the political
exigencies of the moment-the
need for paying off both Henry
Wallace and Sidney Hillman.
The Constitution, and not re-
calcitrant senator's. stands in
the way of that
The Constitution still stands
in the way of many corruptions
Of good taste and national wei
fare.
IT is not for the President 70
L assume the role of the courts
in interpreting the Constitution
He has been 1rked by the
limitations placed upon him and
he has made wide moves 10 by
pass those limitations.
His personal philosophy on
the subject s most completely
stated in his 209th press con-
ference. May 81. 1888 Public
Papers, Vol. IV--p. 200l.
In this statement he relegates
much of the thinking of the
writer's of the Constitution 10
the horse and buggy days"
wien Americans ..got their
own food, their own clothes;
they swapped or bought with
any old kind of currency. be-
cause we had 3 different kinds
of currency. They bought from
their neighbors and sold 10 their
neighbors. -" He added: "...
the ethics of the period were
very different from what they
are today. If one man could
skin a fellow and get away with
it. why. that was all right"
IN A word, Mr.. Roosevelt, a
Il Christian. believed in 1895
that the ethics of our people did
not originate in the Ten Com
mandments. in the Beatitudes
and the Sermon on the Mount,
but in some system Of life which
appeared with the NRA.
II was a curious interpreta-
tion Of history.
Yet. the fact remains that the
New Deal has rarely moved an
inch from il.
II has lived through a series
of emergencies and a war and
has used each to expand the
power of the Executive TO by
pass Congress, and 10 bend the
court 10 its will. -

A number of cases Of Sciatica
