Looking It Over.
CO MUCH has been written and
" spoken since the president
made Ills breath-taking - request
that congress permit him Imme
diately the appointment ot a clear
majority on the supreme court,
that the subject Is more or less
confusod and the fundamentals in
volved aro pretty, well burled.
. Just by wuy of having the prob
lem In more concrete" form lot us
i exainlno corctully the following
list ot points:
1. Thero Is an honest difference
of opinion betwoeu the present ad-
mltilatt-dtlnti t.n.t Ilia nrnRnnl ml.
promo court. .
2. Not all new deal . measures
have been declurcd unconstitu
tional. 3. Not all thoso measures declar
ed unconstitutional wero by closo
votes. NUA was thrown out by
u ununlmous vote of . the . court
others by vurlous scores.
4. The present proposal was no;
oven hinted when the people gave
tho now deal sucli an overwhelm
ing voto in 1936.
6. The court chungo plan wus
first announced us a judicial ro
funu (or the purposo ot Increasing
the efficiency of the courts, Grad
ually that veil bus been withdrawn,
and it is now frankly tulkod ubout
by the president and , administra
tion leaders as a method of accom
plishing now deal alms and ob
loots, ' ' '' ' ' ' ;
6. Tho effect of 'ago upon judi
cial minds Is both misrepresented
and misunderstood. Thoi'o Is no
basis in fuel for the assumption or
tna assertion nun a mun cupauio
of sorvlng ou the supremo bench
will cense to accept now Ideas alt
er the ago of VO.
7. Thoro Is no basis In fact tor
tho aSBortlou by tho president Hint
ono-thlrd of the poople of tills coun
try aro In want, under fed and not
properly 'housod.
8, Evon with tho lcsistnuco of
the supromo court to vurlous new
deal proposuls, recovery was be
gun in tbo first Hoosuvolt term und
his ro-clccllou was duo lurgoly to
tho improvement In economic con
ditions. 0. Thoro 1b no emergency ot the
mouiunt thut demands a sudden
shift In our form ot government
which would give vast powors to
President Roosevelt.
10. If such emergency existed,
SIDE GLANCES
tlx. A - f,,
"Please, Doc! Tin not' equal lo a lot or cheery pej'soimlily
1 this morning"
as did In fact exist In March, 1933,
it would still be better for tbe ul
timate good of the country to have
such a decision made by the peo
ple and in the regular form as pro
vided In tbe constitution.
Many people confuse tho court
packing proposal with the broad
alms and objects of the administra
tion, It Is one thing to approve
with enthusiasm the things tho
president is attempting to do for
the country but it Is quite another
matter to agree with tbo method
he has chosen for acquiring the
power with which to accomplish
his objectives.
It is a dangerous method ho nas
chosen. With him the vast pow
er he seeks may be safe. But tho
possibilities ot abuse in tbe fu
ture are limitless.

'Of course. It was arranged.

Jus hund on nor urm with an an
of possession.1
Jack awaited Dotl Id the recep
tion room of the clubhouse, lie
felt a vague restlessness whica
was new to him. Dot! was one
of those girls for whom men wait
ed with tolerant expectation and
conceded that she had a right to
keep them waiting.' Jack could
not havo estimated the hours of his
life which he had do voted to tnat
patlont service. Jiut he never had
considered them a loss of tune un
til now.
Ills impatience mounted. He vis
loncd a blonde young man whom
ho had known most of bis life rid
ing beside a dark-haired girl whom
be had known only a few houiB.
The vision disturbed him, and he
paced tbo length ot the room wltu
ills haudH thrust deep into, his
pockets.
-Uotl had talked to him a groat
deal about her cousin, Lynn. Hut
Uoil alwuys tulked a great deal
about everything. Thinking now
ubout Lynn, ho wondered why Dot!
uad not said more. Or, hudu'c he
iisLetieu? oiten as not, no uitiu t
listen carefully to what Dotl said.
Subconsciously, ho knew without
listening, but, of coarse, he
hadn't known about Lynn. And he
caught himself wishing tlmt he
hui.
Tbo girls of Jack's life and ex
periences had been thoso who were
as established lu his taougms ut
his famous ancestry, his business,
his homo. . . . But Lynn was some
thing very different. She made
him fuel disturbingly a wuro of bt-r.
I'orhaps It was this fact, added to
his restlessness over walling for
Uotl. which caused hint to say to
her when she uppeared, the first
critical words of their long asso
ciation. Why does it take you so much
longer than other girls to got
roady? Almost everyone has gone.
Oh, I had that horrible gypsy
makeup to take off, and 1 thought I
never would bo myself again," tho
laughed unaware of his stormy
mood. Uotl was as consistently
bright an the tropical sun. l-uiv
clouds of doubt or despair ever
o imh sod her sunny existoiitii, and
her disposition reflected its ra
diance. Hut dispositions are like
tho sun; if there aro no ciomU 10
luunpor them, thoy have no rea
son not to shine. It Is thoso which
shine in spite of heavy clouds,
whirh aro bravo and strong.
"Tomorrow Is a long day," ho ob
served soberly, as it ne and not
boon anticipating that day for
many months with gouuinu pleas
ure. "The greatest day in our lives
so far," Doll reminded him gently,
and awaited his reply with a
breathless anticipation.
lint what he said wuh, "1 don't
think we should have lot your cou
sin go with Dewey. Who doesn't
know him very well, and it may
look to her as If wo were trying
to get rid of her."
"Why, Lynn was thrilled in jzo
with Dewey. After all, slip's quite
old enough to have dates with men
who have danced with her several
times In one evening. I didn't get
her down here to trail around with
us. Lynn ueeda a e.huuee ii mi'ot
eligible men und get aniuainted."
"I don't think all (he men hi CM
eauo cpu III bo blind idiots," irrit
ably.
"Why, Jack, whatever Is tho mat
ter with you? You're as cross as
an old woman. If you don't quit
grinding away at that oftlee lik'i a
crystal crusher, ami take a vaca
tion, I'm going to tell dad to setid
yon away."
"Id rather work ton much than
play too much, as most of tho fel
lows do," mnmsely.
Lynn's censes wero keyed to
their all-tlnio hliih ldteh. The
utnouliKht made the air like liquid
silver, and it was yet tangibly
sweet. Dewey hail stopped his car
under a palm tree and the leaves
rustled together like whispering
voices ot the night. Hut they wore
as iuartletilatn as this transforma
tion of herself was mysterious. Shej
felt so very far away from Mrs.
Kline's and hot ut all the stone girl
who lived there as Lynn Hart el.
She was someone else to whom all
this was happening so swiftly
that the giddy gyration of events
made her dizzy and bewildered. If
only- she might stop them long
enough' to adjust her thoughts and
feelings.
Even it she and her lite could
change so completely In a few
hours, how could she be sure of
her reaction to It until she had
had time lu which to gain the
right perspective on it? She had
to find that lime, somehow. She
hadn't wanted Dewey to stop his
car before he arrived at the iMer
ebon's, and yet she had known that
he would, intuition, und tbo se
quence of the duy's events, had
told her that ho would. Yet she
had had so little experience of
this kind. She wondered if ihia
were an example of what ''was
known as woman's Intuition, But
she had been powerless to prevent
Dewey stopping the car, much us
she wished ho would not, und knew
that he would. .
She objoctod, a trifle shakily, but
lightly, l must go straight home.
Dotl will be expecting me." t
:- "Not for a long time. Jack won't
lot her think about you for awhile,
little lady. But I've been thinking
about you ever since I saw you
this afternoon."
"That hasn't been so long, has
It?" she reminded him, dreading a
repetition of his earlier declara
tions, '
"Time has nothing to do with it.
When a man sees tho girl lie's
been looking for all his life,, it
seems as If he has always known
her. I've realized that ull this
evening."
"But you don't really know me,"
Lynn insisted, feeling more bewlld
ored than ever. Here was a man
whose attention most oi the girls
ot tho city had desired ut some
time, telling her that she was Ihc
one for whom he had passed them
all by. It was Incredible.
"Then, let s get acquainted, he
suggested, drawing her closer with
ms ilrjiv
"jl'ldase," she entreated, pressing
hor hand against his shoulder to
resist his embrace "You will know
mo better after I've been hero for
a week."
When you will be going away-
yes. Please say that you won't go
away, that you will stay here al
ways with me.
"I couldn't say that now and
be honest. You see I don't know
you, either."
"But you aro wearing my pin,"
he reminded her, as he noticed the
gleam of its emeralds in the light.
ler hand reached up to It quick
ly, as if site had forgotten It. "1 m
sorry if you misunderstood my
acceptance of It. I expected to re
turn it after tonight."
"But I gave it lo you to kcop."
"Doll told me what it means, to
accept a krewo pin."
"(.living It means the same thing.
That Is why I want you lo keep
It."
"And that Is why I can't."
"Why are you so sure?" he ask
d gently, lowering his faco to
hers.
She drew away abruptly. "Be
cause I'm not sure of anything, to
night. 1 shouldn't be at all surpris
ed if those palms changed to
giant ogres who chased us both
a naming chariot drawn by two
swordfish and then wo suddenly
discovered that wo wero the fishes
swimming lu an ocean ot green
wine.
"What fairy tales you do con
jure!" ho laughed.
rhat Is jusi how unreal every
thing has been to me for the hit
twelve hours, and I m not at all
sure I'm not dreaming." her voice
trembled n little with the strain
of the day's prolonged excite
ments climaxed hy Dewey 8 rapid
courtship. She wondered about
bis sincerity, even with the clamor
of her thoughts. Was It possible
that bo proposed to every girl
whom he ram ted fur tho moment.
only to discard her when the nov
elty of her acquaintance had sub
sided? She had hoard Susanne
remark that somo men were like
that stringing a girl along until
be was finished with her. But the
men whom her vision hud conjured
from Susanne's description, had
been nothing like Dewey Condon.
He might be too Impulsive hut
surely t'$ was not that kind of
man.
By Williams
He insisted, his hand clasping
hers, "I can prove to you how real
everything is," and stooped to kiss
her lips, but she turned them away
and his own brushed her cheek.
"Won't you please take me
home?" she entreated.
"On one condition."
"What la that?"
"That you will let me take you
to the ball, tomorrow eyeuiu;;, and
see you every moment you can
spare all this' week."
"On one condition."
Ho laughed with amusement.
"Fair enough. What Is that?"
"That you will not ask me again
to marry you."
"That's a bargain. And by the
end of the week, you will have de
cided to stay liere where you be
long." "By that time, you may have de
cided that you don't want mo to
stay."
"The contract is signed and wit
nessed," he agreed blithely,- and
started the motor instantly. .

Good time for everyone
Behind tho Scenes
in Washington
By Bodnty Dutchw
WASHINGTON, Marcu lo. Al
thougu luo foi tucoiuiug neutrality .
legislation admittedly will be a
iroiuenuous iinprovoiueut over
uotnins at ull, unuiy of Its strong
est uuvocaios am willing "to ttuuiU
thin real neutrality npi.e-irs to be
impossible to uilaiu.
cngland cons;iicuouBly stands to
profit under tne Pittman and Mc
Uoyuoids plans a combination of
wuicn probably w ill be uiaue into
a law. That is in Hue wltu tbe no
tions of tbe slate depirtnieat,
wnere it is considered good policy
lo pUn on lining up villi England
iu ttte event tbls country ever bas
to cbooso sides in an alignment ot
world powers.
Uejection of proposals to. stop
all trade wltb belligerents iu time
of war has lett congress in an odd
position. Legislation designed to
Keep the United States out of wur
still will balk rigid neutmlity la
so fur us Hie luw's effect is cou
uerned. Nations with powerful fleets
profit ul the expense of v.'ealter
naval powers, uud the president ia
given dlscretlouury power which
could easily, when used, provoke
luieign nations luto belligerent
uuts ugulust us.
The embargo on exports of arms
to belligerent nations apparently
will be absolute. So will tho pro
hibition uguin&t export of - mate
rials to belligerents unless owner
ship has been transferred to tho
purchaser. Hut uo limitation is
proposed on- export of the raw
materials which can bo used to
inuko uuultlons. Oil, cotton, cop
per, steei and wheat aro at least
as important us arms to nations at
war.
England Profits Most
When and If .mot. er Euro
pean war conies, It is to be expect
ed the Uritluu navy will dominate
the S3tts at least with relation to
shipments of goods from these
shores. That would kuean that
Britain and her friends could come
to our Atlantic coast ports and get
till the supplies they were able to
pay for. Germany, Italy, France or
ilussla would be unable to do that
iu case any ol them happened to
be lined up in wur ugainst Eng
land,
In Clio Pacific, Japan would be
ubie to import from the United
States, but not' Russia, and not
China, if Japan were ut war with
eithor.
The president will be empower
ed to list commodities whose
transport on American ships might
threaten to get us into war. and to
forbid American ships to carry
them. .Hut the ' co'me-and-et-it-cash.
ami-carry principle would still ba
there.
Just for speculation, imaging
thut England is at war with Gep
many again, that she blockades
Germany and cuts off that nation's
Imports from - the rest of thu
world. Then Gormany starts tor
pedoing -.American 'ijhips carrying
supplies of any kind to England,
and that tho president : at ouca
lists everything he can think ot,
us goods not to bo carried on
American ships to belligerent na
tions. ! i
The net result would be that the
United States, by abandoning her
traditional stand for freedom of
the seas, would retreat -from he
position which was ostensibly, if
not actually, tho primary reason
for her entry into the World war
against Gormany. But, It would
bo hard to demonstrate that the
United States had pursued a
course of strict neutrality, and
England would still be free to
send lior ships ovor hero and buy
all types of raw materials anil
foodstuffs.
One Alternative There
The alternative to building up
a big war trade, with big navy
nations In ttmo of war, would havo
been application of a quota sys
tem, limiting .exports to pre-war
quantities: This might have ruined
the ndminlsti-ation's trado treaty
program. Besides, it Is hard to be
lievo tbo cotton and wheat areas,
along with innumerable special in
terests, would not have been able
to repeal It ouco n big war-time
demand for supplies tamo from
Europe.
The hltturcst opponents 0f the
ponding neutrality legislation are
those who object to any national
policy which favors England, and
tho "Big Navy" group, which in
sists on "freedom of the seas" for
the American merchant marine,
with a powerful American nuvy
to hack it up.
