Airline Men Reach Guam GUAM, June 3 (A. The steamer North Haven arrived hen-today with Pan-American Alrwa; men to construct another of the stations which will be used by the line when flights begin between California and China. Property ai the YearV Contract" WITHOUT any knowledge of what is in his mind, it is a fairly safe guess, it seems to me, that the President will not propose a constitutional amendment. The is that it is beyond the wit of man to write an amendment which would meet the situation. If, following Senator Borah's facetious suggestion, he sponsored an amendment vesting omnipotent legislative power in Congress, he would, of course, be proposing to destroy in one stroke the entire Federal Constitution.

Obviously that will not be considered. If, on the other hand, he tries to write an amendment which vests more power but not all power in Congress, he will be attempting an impossible task. He will roe trying to put into a few sentences that very distinction between interstate and intrastate commerce which the Supreme Court has never succeeded in defining conclusively. The Court has written volumes on the subject and still, as the Chief Justice said last Monday, "The precise line can be drawn only as individual cases arise." Unable to Draw Line No one will ever be able to draw the precise line to cover all conceivable cases. For it is the very essence of a federal system such as ours, where the power is distributed as between the central and the state governments, that it Is Impossible to define exactly, in the abstract, and in advance, where one power ends and the other begins.

No new amendment could do it. The balance of powers Is a living and changing balance, not one that can be defined once for all in a few sentences. The balance has to be defined and redefined again and again through the continual interaction of Congressional lawmaking and Judicial decision. There is no escape from this under a federal government. If we remember that the question of what is interstate commerce is not now and can never be defined finally in the Constitution or in any decision, the events of the past week become intelligible.

In effect what happened was something like this: The NRA went before the Court, having stretched the Federal power over commerce to a preposterous extreme. It was trying to argue that the wages paid for killing chickens in New York were a matter of concern to the whole Nation. No evidence could be offered to substantiate the claim. The wages paid in New York for killing chickens that are to be eaten ir. New York do not affect the wages paid for killing chickens in Philadelphia.

If the NRA could regulate those wages It could regulate the cook's wages or the tip to the bell boy. Court Issues Warning The Court, mindful of its fundamental task, which is to preserve a balance of Federal and state powers, said in substance: If this sort of thing is allowed to stand "there would be virtually no limit to the Federal power." Then the judges issued what amounted to a warning that "the authority of the I Federal Government must not be I pushed to such an extreme" and they backed up their warning by citing cases which they could use as precedents to stop almost any extension of the Federal power. They did not say they would top It. They said. In fact, that "our growth and development have called for wide use of the commerce power of the Federal Gov- i eminent In its control over expanded activities of interstate com- I merce." But they made It very clear that they would not tolerate such extremes as the NRA had gone to.

DR. WILLIAM S. A. Pott, formerly of the Public Relations Department of The General Motors and a frequent Detroit visitor, has been elected president of Elmiru College for Women, at El-irira, N. Y.

Dr. Pott's great-grandfather. Dr. Francis Lester Hawks, held the chair of history at the University of California, and his father. Dr.

F. L. Pott, has been president of St. Johns University, Shanghai, China, for 30 years. Dr.

Pott has written several books on academic subjects, and has also translated several works into the Chinese. 1 Refrigerator Become Kvpiratit.il of a his income, has the this complete ice this low cost with Mol; PRTS TO HKAR OUT is no wumNi. 11 wo.i- ALMOST 12' said was that if the Court went to the extreme it could, according to the language of some very old precedents, deprive 'he Government of virtually all power over the National economy. He was, perhaps, thinking of the majority opinion in the railway pension case on May 6, an opinion which the chief justice denounced as reactionary in a very emphatic dissenting opinion. He may have been thinking of the extraordinary vehemence of Mr.

Justice's McReynolds' speech at the time the gold cases were decided. And he may have concluded that if the Court was going to warn him not to go to extremes it was necessary to remind the Court not to go to extremes. Hints at Appeal to People Their reminder to him that they have precedents to destroy all his policies he matched with a reminder to them that he could appeal to the people on an issue which would greatly impair the authority of the court in the public mind. What we have witnessed, in other words, Is the spectacle of two coordinate branches of the Government warning each other not to go to extremes. Since a Federal system depends upon not going to extremes these reciprocal warnings may be regarded as salutary in preserving the effective balance of our Federal Bystem.

Those who might be inclined to think that all this is subversive and strange will do well to remember, as Mr. Louis Stark pointed out yesterday, that Lincoln in the debates with Douglas repeatedly affirmed the right to discuss and to criticize the Dred Scott decision. "The sa-credness," he said, "which Judge Douglas throws around the decision Is a degree of sacredness that has never before been thrown around any other decision. I have never heard of Buch a thing. Why, decisions apparently contrary to that decision, or that good thought were contrary to that de cision, have been made by that very court before.

It is the first of its kind; it is an astonisher in legal history. It is a new wonder of the world." Lincoln's argument was that while he could, of course, obey the decision as it affected the Slave Dred Scott, he would "resist" the reasoning of the decision" as a political rule" to be followed by the voters, the Congress and the President. No Political Kule Laid Down It will be found, I believe, when the smoke clears away, that the Court has laid down no political rule which throws us back to "the horse and buggy stage" of our nation development. This court, as now constituted, will never do that by a unanimous verdict. It is far more likely that Senator Bor ah estimated the meaning of the decision correctly when he said that the Court will find ample powers In the Constitution when Congress and the Administration have the patience and the ability to frame a statute that shows some careful thought, about what it is intcdeu to do.

Bat borne early Monday morning Woe complete dvtnilt Phone Randolph tlOOoe ammt Ticket Agent Baltimore Ohio I I i Smoke Screen WASHINGTON ONE of the evidences of true greatness in a public man is his ability to accept political defeat with balance and composure.

Not very long ago, while he had had none up to then, a great and friendly newspaper expressed the belief that Mr. Roosevelt was that sort of a President. It hardly would do so now because his reception of the Supreme Court decisions has convincingly disproved the idea. EVEN in his press conference he has not been able to conceal his bitterness and resentment nor re frain from portentous prophecies of things calculated to inflame and alarm the emotional people to whom he is a hero. In private conversation he has been much more bitter.

After four days of dismay and confusion during which his chief conferences were with Dr. Frankfurter, Dr. Moley and Gen. Johnson, three gentlemen as responsible as any for the mess in which his Administration is, there emanated from Mr. Roosevelt an analysis of the NRA decision, made to some 200 newspapermen, which reeked with rancor and exuded THE more discriminating among those who heard him recognized that here was a man whose ambitious plans not only had been in-gloriously brought to earth hut who had been hit in his self-esteem and was very sore.

Instead of philosophical acquiescence in an inevitable and irrevocable decision, instead of wlBely trying to adjust himself to the facts, admitting and correcting his mistakes, making the best of things for himself and for the Country, he painted for the press a picture appullingly dark. With a solemnity in striking contrast to the usual meny, bantering press conference mood when things were flying high, he was full of fears for the future, and cited evi-dtnCH of the dire results already flowing from the failure of the Court to uphold him He pictured it as a body without vision, which had struck down the glamorous and beautiful contrivances with which he had all but rescued the Nation from ruin, and which his professorial advisers from Columbia and Harvard had assured him were sound Talk such as hia about thirty-six-cent wheat and five-cent cotton was clearly designed to create reaction in his favor among the bonus-fed classes to which he especially appeals and which have most completely swallowed the socialistic, sugar-coated doctrines which saturated his New Deal. Declarations that the Court had put us back to the "horse and buggy" days because it had the temerity to knock out an experiment the soundness of which even the mart balanced of his own supporters distrusted from the start, may sound well to worshipful meinbeis of the press, but It seems a little ridiculous to those who keep a sense of proportion and humor. It may be natural for a man in the Presidents position, who sees the giddy structure he has built so hiuh suddenly crushed to the ground because the foundation was not solid it may be natural, but it is hard to regard it as big. THE ROOSEVELT outburst against the Court was really an amazing performance.

Reading what he said, one would have thought that all of his experiments had been completely successful. One ever would gather that he had failed in any direction. There was not so much as a hint from him that, as everyone knows, before the Court decided, the NRA was a dis- credited agency which had ceased to function and was in a state of demoralization and confusion, He did not touch upon the fact that he could have had a Supreme Court decision and found out where he was 18 months ago. He did not i mention that the tragic situation in which he finds himself is due not to the Court but to lack of logic, experience and judgment upon the part of his advisers, and upon the part of himself in taking i such advice. Nor did he point out.

as he miKht. that the decision against which he now inveighs with sucn Journalistically originated phrases as "horse-and-buggy days was rendered not by five justices, nor six. nor seven, nor eight, but by all nine, It was a unanimous Court which said he was all wrong from the 1 start. things seem to have occurred to Mr. Roosevelt, and of course none was called to his attention by the newspapermen.

On the contrary, the impression Mr Roosevelt sought to create was that he and his New-Deal advisers were wise, right, far-sighted and enlightened; the Supreme Court bad. blind and benighted. If mistakes were made, it was the Court which made them, not he. In effect, that la the tone in which a Piesldcnt receives a unanimous Supreme Court decision declaring unconstitutional an already defunct Governmental experiment. His gloomy forecast of disasters is a smoke screen to hide his discomfiture.

His effort to make the Constitution an issue is an evidence of the bad counsel to which he listens. His purpose seems to be to use the Supreme Court as an alibi, tCaBHteht. IM1 Andrews' Lawyer Admitted by Court A. M. Lowenthal.
