More "Red" Herring
IT is difficult to read over the Republican criticisms of Fresl
dent Roosevelt's speech, and keep a straight face.
If some of his more violent
in their reasoning, then anyone
later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, is no
better than a Russian Bolshevik.
This certainly takes in a lot of territory I
Abraham Lincoln opposed slavery, for years, before such
action was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow "Wilson, favored a federal
income tax, before such action was ruled out by the same court.
Were they no better than Russian Bolsheviks t
And when following such decisions, they refused to accept
the interpretation as final, but favored constitutional amend
ments, which would make it legal to do, what they believed,
ovcry consideration of .humanity and social justice as well as
our national welfare, demanded should be done, were they false
to the "letter and spirit of the American form of government!"
What a childish and grotesque contention for any news
paper, or any sane citizen, of the United States to make !
.
jOUT we are told by those G.O.P. newspapers, who admit the
president is not a "Communist", that he did not tell the
truth when he maintained that in his record "you will find a
simple, clear and consistent adherence not only to the letter but
to the spirit of the American form of government."
This is a serious charge. What evidence do those who make
it, supply to sustain it!
They rake out that old, bewhiskered accusation that when
the president wrote the legislative committee considering the
Guffey Coal bill, "not to permit doubts of its constitutionality,
however reasonable, to block the suggested legislation" he ad
vocated defiance of the Supreme Court, and the overturn of
the Constitution.
Those who make such a charge are always very careful not
to print the full text of the letter, for it shows the intentions
and purposes of the president very clearly, and makes such a
charge utterly ridiculous.
But let that pass. Consider the quotation apart from its
context, and subject it to any sort of fair-minded and rational
analysis. .
ITrilAT IS tho "letter and spirit of the American form of
" government!" The letter says tho legislative power lies
exclusively with tho congress; that the judicial power lies
exclusively with the Supreme Court. In other words the con
gress has no power or authority to declare whether legislation
!b or is not unconstitutional, nor has any member in it, nor
has the president. This is the Supremo Court's function, its
exclusive function, and its only
What then should tho congress do, when an important mat
ter of legislation is up for consideration! Spend its time argu
ing as to whether it is or isn't constitutional! Do what the
constitution says it should NOT do, and try to pass on its
legality! Or should it decide ONLY whother that legislation
is desirable for the country, or the reverse; if it is, pass it;
if it isn't defeat it; but IN NO CASE, waste time and money,
in a futile effort to usurp the authority and functions of the
U. S. Supreme Court, spend day after day, debating a question
winch it can never decide and which the law of the land
specifically declares it must NOT decide
"PHIS is all the president meant, and it is all he said, and any
fair-minded person who will read tho text of the president's
letter will freely grant the truth of this statement.
Yet the anti-Roosevelt press shrieks about communism on
one hand, and overturning the Constitution on the other 1
Not only untrue, but as we have pointed out, TIMK AFTER
TIME, the exact reverse of the truth.
IN telling the congress to NOT exceed its constitutional author
ity, in tolling it to leave all constitutional questions to the
Supreme Court, and abide by those decisions as he has done;
depending for needed reform, not on defiance of the constitu
tion, but its amendment as the organio law provides, President
Roosevelt takes his stand solidly with those who would
LTIIOLD the letter and spirit of the American government;
and those who condemn his stand, not he, are those who are
disregarding the strict division of powers upon which this
country was based.
Likewise in taking the stand, that the way to combat and
destroy communism, is to so correct the abuses and inequalities
of the democratic system, that tho seeds of communism can
nover gain a foothold, it is he, not his enemies, who is LEAD
INQ the onslaught against those foroes of violence and dostruo
tion that would overthrow American institutions, and destroy
our democratic form of government.

but there have been Instances that
enlisted the subsequent concern of
