collective position and whispered

Speculate on P. R.'a Reaction
Speculation flared aa to whether
President Roosevelt might aeelc re
election on a platform of sweeping
constitutional change,
j Political observers agreed there
would be considerable support In the
, farm belt for a constitutional amend
,; ment authorizing resumption of the
flow of benefit checks.
t Some suggested an effort might be
made to swing this sentiment behind
a broad amendment giving the gov
ernment specific power over Industry
as well aa farming. But there was no
Immediate word of any kind from the
White House.
The president's comment at the
death of NRA, that it had taken the
country back to "horse and buggy"
days, and his more recent assurances
that the farm program would go on
In some form, were recalled at the
capltol. I
In his annual message Friday night j
he told the congress It could find
means to protect Its prerogatives.
Issue Kept Alive
Since the Roosevelt "horse and
buggy" comment, Mr. Roosevelt hss
been careful to refrain from discuss
ing the possibilities of changing t:-ie
constitution. Administration spokes
men have kept the Issue constantly
alive in speeches over the country,
however, contending the people have
right to change the basic lav
' whenever they wish.
If the fsrm aid legislation were
valid, Roberts said. In the majority
opinion. It would be possible for con
gress "to regulate industry in its
most meticulous forms."
Speculation how the presidential
campaign would be affected stirred
Instantly when the news reached the
capltol. Legislators turned In pri
vate from the business of the mo
ment, examination of the 1936-87
New Deal budget to mull over the
possibilities.
-Republican determination on farm
plunk alternatives long had been
awaiting the supreme court attitude.
Walt New Deal Move
What the New Deal would do was
awaited eagerly.
Secretary Wallace reserved com
ment. It was Indicated there would not
be any Immediately from the admin
istration. Councils of war were
called.
President Roosevelt learned of the
turn but also had nothing to say.
Roberts said the farm plan was
"not In essence voluntary."
"It had a compulsory purpose," he
necisrea.
"If the Sft railed onlv tnr . tmltm-
' tary plan it would be no better."
Presumably, the government will
seek to find a way to pay approxi
mately $600,000,000 due on contracts
still unpaid.
Federal lawyers have Indicated be
lief these can be considered binding
governments! obligations. It remains
to be worked out, however.
' Wallace I'nniovrfl
Watched through a partially open
ooor, secretary Wallace did not
change his expression as he glanced
at the fateful message, laid It aside
and continued his discussion with
visitor.
Roberts said tlis AAA amendments
enacted last August made no differ
ence as congress could not ratify
something it did not have the power
to ao originally.
"Congress might redistribute the
entire Industrial population If this
act were upheld." he said seriously
rns united States government
coma destroy local self government.
as soon as he finished Justice
Stone read the dissenting opinion.
"The present stress of widely held
and strongly expressed dlfierence of
opinion of the wisdom of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act makes 11
Important, In the Interest of clesr
thinking and sound result," he said,
"to emphasize at the oulset certain
propositions which should have con
tlolllng Influence In determining the
validity of the act.
"They are:
1. The power of courts to declare a
latin unconstitutional i, subject
to ta-o guiding princlplea of decision
which ought never to be absent from
Judicial consciousness.
Power In Kriai t I. Kvie
"One la that courts are concerned
only with the power to enact statutes
not with their wisdom,
'The other la that while tlp.constl
tutlonal exercise of power by the
executive and legislative branchra of
the government Is subject to Judicial
restraint, the only chek upon our
own exercise of power la our own
sense of self-restraint.
"Por the removal of unwise laws
from the statute bvioks sppeal lies
not to the court but to the ballot
and to the processes of democratic
government.
"1. The constitutional power of
congress tc Irvy an excise tax upon
the proccMh-.g of agricultural pro
ducts la not questioned.
The announced goal of the AAA
had been to give farmers "parity
prices for their products.
parity prices were considered those
which would enable the farmers to
buy now the amount of manufac-
tu.-ed goods they could have boucht
with the cash their crops brought in
on the average between Woo and
J8U.
Parity prices also were described as
the rair firlj.n,, value."
ialn In Parity hhosn
A recent AAA compilation ahoa-ed
prlcea received by farmers for their
l-ronucts was averaging 80 per cent of
parity. This was a gain of eight per
cent over the same dste In 1934.
The AAA attempted. It was said, to
make benellt payments which, added
to the farm values for crops, would
give the farmera a parity price in
come for their labors.

Huge Sum to Finmers
Since May 1033, over $1, 127.000.000
hea been paid fnrmcra for crop ad

was most expensive, amounting to
378,000,000.

Officials estimated that over 150.- i

Impounded in the courts under in
junctions granted since Inst aprlnp.
These funds now evidently will be
returned to those who sued.
Alters New Deal Kecorri
The momentous decision altered
the record of the New Deal before the
highest tribunal.
NRA lost out In the spring unani
mously. The oil control section of
the recovery act was tnvnlidnted
eight to one, the vail pension plan
failed by five to tout; and the Invali
dation of the gold payment In pri

gin of one.
In addition, the Frwler-Leinko

"None of these require processing

PORTLAND, Jnn. 6. (AP) J.
Mason Dlllnrd. chle? assistant Unit
ed Stntes attorney for Oregon, said
today the ruling of the United
States supreme court that the AAA
is unconstitutional, probably will
cause the government to confess
Judgment In the 14 suit Instituted
in court here by processors of
meat, wheat and paper to enjoin
collection of AAA processing taxea
aggregating about one million dollars.
Dillard ald the supreme court's
action apparently ended all possi
bility of defending the Injunction
actions In this frderal court.
At torneys for the processors said
the decision coincided squarely with
their contentions.
Iiega sources said the ruling
would result in a neat profit for
those processing companies which
Instituted Injunction actions and
held up payment of their processing
taxes. Their bonds agreeing to pay
the taxes in event the law was
found constitutional, doubtless will
be returned Intact.
It was believed that thov pro
cessors who paid their taxes without
protest will simply be out of pocket
that much, even though the law
under which the money was paid
wns unconstitutional.

4 It announced transfer of the
Civilian Conservation Co:ps and the
public works program fom the cate
gory of emergency agencies to that
of regular activities of government.
fl. It warned congress that passage
of the soldier bonus bill or any other
measure draining funds from the
treasury wouVi require Imposition of
new tares.
8. It indicated a record national
debt of $31,351,000,000 at the end of
1837, not including the deficit cre
ated by any relief appropriation.
Credit Is High.
Reviewing ac?omplshmeTits of his
4 months in office, the president re
ported: That government credit Is "at its
highest."
That federal finances are t their
best condition In seven years.
Tha private Industrial employment
has shown substantial Increase.
That no new taxes will be neces
sary under present new deal policies.
Mr. Roosevelt recommended ;
1. Repeal of lat session's AAA
amendment earmarking 30 percent of
customs receipts to encourage export
and consumption of farm products.
The amendment, estimated to appor
tion up to $100,000,000 from the treas
ury's general funds, violated sound
administrative practice, the president
said, and set undesirable precedent
In earmarking revenue. i
3. Amendment of the potato con-
trol act, from which no appreciable i
revenue was expected, so as to exempt
the purchaser of bootleg potatoes
from prcnecutlon, and to lncreane in
dividual tax exempt quotas from five
to 50 bushels.
3. Legislation to permit transfer
of appropriation -within any single
department so as to achieve flexi
bility.
4. A law bringing all agenciea of
the government. Including gover,
ment owned and government con
trolled corporations, under the auth
ority of the director of the budget,
Work Relief Not Included.
"To run all the regular activities of
the government (in 1937) I will need
a total of 5. ,000 ,000." Mr. Roose
velt aald. "These regular aotivltlea
Include Interest on the public debt,
major public works, operations of the
C.vlllan Conservation corps, and ag
rlcultural benefit payments, but do
not Include strictly work relief items.
"I expect to pay for these regular
activities with ct;! mated receipts of
$5,654,000,000, leaving an excess of
reoeipta of $585,000,000. Out of this
$583,000,000 I will need $580,000,000
for debt retirement, which will still
leave $5,000,000 of excess receipts over
expenditures after having paid for a.-l
the regular expenditures of the gov
ernment plus debt retirement.
"The item for relief remains. With
out that Item the budget la In bal
ance. To make today a formal bud
get estimate of the amount neces
sary for work relief would be of neces
sity a difficult task. We have too
recently reached our goal of putting
three and one-half million people to
work; and the beneficial effects from
this p.ogram and from Increasing ex
penditures on public works cannot
be foretold as accurately today as it
can two months from now. Further
more, employment by private Indus
try continues to show substantial
gains over the figures of a year ago.
Work Relief Need Cut.
"It Is estimated In this budget that
expenditures for recovery and relief
out of unexpended balances of pre j
vlous emergency appropriations will
amount to $1,103,000,000. Including!
these expenditures the gross deficit
I for 1937, without an estimate for ad
ditional work relief, it is less than
the gross deficit for 1931 by $2,139,
000.000. I do not anticipate that the
need for additional relief funds will
be as great as that sum."
For national defense the pa el dent
asked congress to appropriate a total
of $995,007,704. an Increase of ap
proximately $300,000,000 over last
year's budget. He asked $551,308,399
for the navy and $443,099,305 for the
war department.
Mr. Roosevelut's Inclusion of the
AAA and CCC among regular activities
means that he believes the success
of these undertakings Justifies their
permanent continuance.
He asked $24e000,000 for the CCC
from March 31 1936, to March 31,
1937, and $499,054,985 for ?.he AAA
for the entire 1937 fiscal year.
Of the estimated national debt at
the end of the 1937 fiscal year Mr.
Roosevelt said:
"It Is estimated tha the gross pub
lic debt on June 30, 1937, will amount
to $31,351,638,737, as compared with
an estlmatde debt June 30, 1936. of
$30,933375.017. The figure for 1037
does not include such amounts for
work relief during the coming year
as may be determined by congress."
Annual Deficits uwlndle.
The message emphasized the dwin
dling of annual deficits but at the
same time showed that the national
debt has doubled In six years from
$15,000,000,000 in 1930 to $30,000,-
000.000 In 1936. Mr. Roosevelt pre
sented this picture of reducing an
nual deficits:
In 1934 3.929,000.000.
In 1935 $3,575,000,000.
In 1936 (3.234.OO0.0OO (estimated).
In 1937 $1,098,000,000 (estimated
but not including any new appropri
ations for work, relief).
Mr. Roosevelt recommended appro
priations for 1937 totaling $6,400,-
000,000, including probably supple
mental items estimated at $600,000.
000. This represents an increase of
$1,254,000,000 over the appropriations
for 1930, exclusive of the $4,000,000,-
000 relief fund voted last year.
"This Increase," he said, "la due to
(1) additional appropriations amount
ing to approximately $610,000,000, in
cluding supplemental to be submit
ted later, required to finance new
legislation enacted at the last session
of congress:
(2) An appropriation of $244,000,
000 to continue the operations of the
Civilian Conservation corps ;
(3) an increase in specific appropria
tions of $187,000,000 on account of
general public works; and (4) In
creases In the g'.-neral departmental
requirements aggregating approxl-'
mately $211,000,000. due largely to1
the Increases In army, navy and the'
department of agriculture."
The president said developments
since March, 1933, had proved the
fundamental soundness of his pol
icies. "We can loos forward today to a
continued reduction of deficits, U in
creased tar receipts and to declining
expenditures for the needy unem
ployed," he said.
