A Bar for Free Courts (CONVINCED that the independ- ence of the federal judiciary is still threatened, despite the defeat of the plan to enlarge the Supreme court, the American Bar association, in session in Kansas City, voted unanimously to authorize a commit- tee to keep up the fight to preserve the freedom of the courts, as rec- ommended by a special committee. That committee said: ‘“There ap- pears to be no likelihood that efforts to re-make the courts of the United States will not be renewed. Your special committee is of the opinion that the association ought to main- tain itself in readiness to meet such issues as they may recur, rather than to rely upon impromptu or- ganization for the purpose.” The lawyers listened to many speeches, both attacking and de- fending President Roosevelt's court program and his appointment of Hugo Black to the Supreme court. The climax to all this came when Hatton W. Sumners of Texas, chair- man of the house judiciary com- mittee, arose to talk. He had a prepared address, but shifted to an extemporaneous talk in which he declared the people have lost control of the government of the United States and it has passed into the hands of a million people in its ex- ecutive department, in which only one man was elected, and which the people could not control. “What are we going to do about it?" Sumners cried. “Are you will- ing to join a battalion of death to save the Constitution and the gov- ernment? ‘““As we look to the future, we are rapidly approaching a crisis when it will. be decided whether our eco- nomic system and our government will stand or fall. “I mean actually. A very serious situation is before the people. It means we have got to do some- thing soon. We have got to balance the budget. We have got to decen- tralize government responsibility,” ROLE, Cummings Hasn't Quit Fight TTORNEY GENERAL CUM- MINGS in his press conference intimated strongly that the admin- istration intends to push for the court reforms the President has de- manded. To support this position he produced the annual report of the judicial conference composed of the chief justice and senior circuit judges. It recommended appoint. ment of 16 additional federal judges. “In this report” said Mr. Cum- ings, “‘the judiciary has capitulat- ed. They admit now there is con- gestion and delay in the judicial sys. tem. They ask for additional judges to provide relief. This is a com- plete capitulation and a welcome one.” Aen O'Mahoney Butts In P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT, on the way to Seattle, first entered the ‘“enemy’s’’ country when he crossed the border of Wyoming, the state of ws Senator Joseph O’- Mahoney, leader of the anti - Supreme court enlargement forces.

He walked O'Mahoney .inoside the Presi- dent's car and Mrs. Roosevelt emerged, shook his hand and asked after Mrs. O'Mahoney. The senator then entered the pri- vate car and he and Mr. Roosevelt shook hands and said ‘‘Hello,” but the atmosphere was decidedly chill ing; he took leave of the party at Casper, Wyo., after accompanying the President and his group on a drive about that city.

JAPANESE asserted in officials in Shanghai they had learned that Marshal Galents - Bluecher, com- mander of the Russian Far East armies, was directing the Chinese campaign against Japan by tele- phone from his Siberian headquar- | ters. i According to Domei, the Japanese news agency, munitions and other | military supplies are being trans- | ported by trucks into China across | the province of Sinkiang from So- viet Siberia. If these reports are | true it may be Stalin has decided | the time has come for Russia to take sides with China openly, and | that would make things tough for the Japanese invaders. a Russia Warns Japan "TOKYO officially notified Moscow | that the Chinese were plotting to attack the Russian embassy in Nanking with planes disguised as | Japanese aircraft, for the purpose of | involving the Soviet government in the Sino-Japanese conflict. With the | equivalent of “Oh, yeah?”, Russia | retorted with a stern warning that | it would hold Japan responsible for | any bombing of the embassy, inten- tional or accidental. The Soviet of- | ficials said they considered the re- | ported plot a “pure prevarication | showing the intention of some Jap- | anese military powers to bombard | the Soviet embassy intentionally and | then try to escape responsibility.” i With callous brutality Japan con- tinued the air raids on Nanking, | Canton and other large Chinese cities, the bombs slaughtering thou- sands of helpless civilians. The ut- ter contempt for protests of western nations shown by Japan seemed warranted by the failure to insist on respect for the nine-power treaty guaranteeing the territorial integ- rity of China. For this failure Gen- eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek blames especially the United States. “This war,” said he, “will last as long as Japanese aggression lasts in China.” The League of Nations adopted a resolution severely condemning Japan for the aerial bombardment of defenseless Chinese cities, and Tokyo, indignant, charged the league of acting without verifying the facts. To the protests of five great powers, previously filed, the Japanese government replied with the assertion that the bombing of Nanking was “necessary for our purpose.” The British public is becoming in- creasingly aroused against Japan and there is a general demand for a boycott of Japanese goods. The government has permitted an air. craft company to take a big order for fighting planes that will soon be shipped to China, and they may be manned by independent British pilots. — Yarnell's Policy Wins A PMIRAL HARRY YARNELL was decidedly opposed to the policy of Washington to withdraw American warships from Chinese waters in the face of danger.
