Stripped to the bone, President
Roosevelt's proposal for reorgan
ization of the judiciary, includ
ing an increase from nine to fif
teen in the membership of the
Supreme Court, unless Justices
seventy years or over retire, is
just another major skirmish in
the age-old battle over human
rights and property rights. The
battle has been waged, and wag
ed strong, since our founding
fathers began their labor at the
Constitution, Convention in Phila
delphia, just 150 years ago.
It seems evident that the con
stitution as finally drafted was
designed tq place major emphasis
on human rights—the rights of
man. No better evidence cam be
found than that the Congress
was created, despite all comprom-

Ise to represent the legislative
will of the people. Provision was
made for the President to exer
cise a veto over the act# of Con
gress—a veto that can be over
ridden by great majorities. And
courts were created to see that no
rights guaranteed under the Con
stitution were infringed upon. It
is doubtful whether it was intend
ed for the courts to nullify legis
lative acts of Congress—the legis
lative will of the people.
Nevertheless, the great Chief
Justice Marshall quietly laid down
such a principle in the famous
case of Marbury V. Madison. In
ielivering that historic opinion,
the Chief Justice held In effect
that a law repugnant to the Con
stitution is void. Prom that day
to this there has been a question
as to what extent the Congress
can carry out the legislative will
of citizens. The power of Con
gress to override a Presidential
veto is definite, but the judicial
veto of a majority of nine judges
appointed for life seemingly ends
the power of Congress to solve
national ills, economic or social.
The Supreme Courts' verdict of
"unconstitutional," under that
theory. Is truly supreme, whether
such authority over the destines
of 130,000,000 people was intend
ed or not. In any event, since
Chief Justice Marshalfs day, the
Supreme Court has steadily taken
unto itself broader powers of leg
islative review. There is ample
reason for the statement that in
case after case the courts have
been building a mass of decisions
based on the strictest construction
of the rights of property.
As a result, important questions
are raised. Does Congress repre
sent the will of the people? If so,
shall the Supreme Court nullify
that will through legislative re
view? Is it the national desire
that a President be voted out of
office because he was not In time
with the times —as was the case
with Hoover—and his successor,
twice elected by unprecedented
majorities—as was the case with
Roosevelt—be powerless to correct
the conditions our citizens con
demned?
Let me hasten to say that these
questions do not involve person
alities. They involve issues. The
most ardent supporters of the
President's proposal nor its critics

member of the Supreme Court.
It is the viewpoints of some mem
bers that is Questioned —whether
they regard the Constitution elas
tic enough to meet the legislative
will based on human rights. Pro
ponents of the President's propo
sal for judiciary reorganization
say they cannot. Critics of the
proposal say they can and So In
terpret the Constitution. AND
THE BATTLE OVER HUMAN
RIGHTS AND PROPERTY
RIGHTS CONTINUES.
Unfortunately, the issues are
not being decided by individuals.
Too much propaganda and hys
teria is evident. To accuse the
President of trying to "pack the
Supreme Court" is to question his
sincerity in carrying forward a
program that some 27,000,000 of
our citizens approved last Novem
ber. And whatever else may be
said of the President's program,
few can question his honest de
sire to make our nation sounder
and more wholesome than he
found it when he took over the
reigns of government.
