...President's plan for reorganization of the Supreme Court, the question of speed is a favorite one among such men as Homer Cummings and James Farley. Taking a pious and sanctimonious attitude, these gentlemen contend that there is such a crying need for social legislation of the NRA and AAA type, that delay is impossible. We are told that a constitutional amendment to legalize minimum wage laws and maximum hours of work regulations would take too long to put through, and that no time must be wasted in achieving this desired goal...
...feeling far better than at that momentous press conference two years ago, when, after the Supreme Court invalidated NRA, he lashed out hurt and angry at "horse-&-buggy" interpretation of the Constitution. Those comments were hurled back at him during last year's campaign. In his message to Congress last month he sidetracked that issue, declaring...
...years younger than Mr. Taylor and still owning an interest in the department store his father owned in Nashville, Tenn., George Arthur Sloan became a U.

As was then stressed, Canada's unconstitutional NPMA (Natural Products Marketing Act) was similar but less inclusive than the unconstitutional NRA south of the border; but Canada's unconstitutional ESIA (Employment & Social Insurance Act) was not so much an imitation of Washington's Social Security as of the (in England) perfectly constitutional "Dole." The Canadian Supreme Court last summer and the Privy Council last week both held constitutional...
