What sort of Judge has Hugo Black turned out
to be? When President Roosevelt unexpectedly
appointed him to the Supreme Court, there was
a public uproar of doubt and objection.
Hugo Black has now been almost two years
on the bench. He has taken sides in more than
200 decisions. He has written a good many
opinions. Can we form from his opinions an idea
of what sort of Judge he is, or what sort of Judge
he is going to be?
There is no need of defending Black's ability.
There are not many Judges who could write the
succinct, lawyer-like and pointed opinions he has
written for the court. There are fewer yet capable
of the clarity and power of his dissents.
Black is independent. If we take the 216 deci--
sions in which he took part in his first year and
a half on the bench, from October, 1937, through
Jan. 3, 1938, we find him dissenting 10 per cent
of the time. Many times he concurs only for his
own reasons. If we add those occasions, he dis-
agrees with the majority of his brethren, in
reason or in result, 16 per cent of the time.
He disagreed with McReynolds in one way
or another 35 per cent of the time, and with
Butler 27 per cent of the time. We might expect
that, but it is somewhat of a surprise to find him
striking off from Brandeis in 16 per cent of the
cases.
Black shows his independence in one way that
is particularly significant. Once out of every eight
times he agreed with none of his brethren. For
lone dissents I think that is a record. Not that
they will necessarily continue. He and Reed have
been drawing more and more together in their
dissents.
** * *
The dissent in the Florida fruit juice case is
a good one to begin with. Here is the gist:
"Under our constitutional plan of government,
the exclusive power of determining the wisdom
of this policy rested with the Legislature.ff
Florida subject to the veto power of Florid 's
Governor . . . The legislative history of (this
statute) indicates that it was given the careful
and cautious consideration which regulation of
one of the State's major industries deserved . .
This case offers an appropriate opportunity to
return to the wholesome principle stated by this
court in 1888, 'If all that can be said of this legis-
lation is that it is unwise or unnecessarily op-
pressive to those manufacturing or selling whole-
some oleomargarine, as an article of food, their
appeal must be to the Legislature, or to the ballot
box, not to the judiciary."
Here, at once, you get what seems to me to be
the clew to Black. When he picks up a statute,
he reads it like the experienced legislator he is.
Legislation has been his trade and his profession.
On the other hand, his colleagues are lawyers
first, and scarcely legislators at all. They, too, are
familiar, of course, with statutes, as much so as
he is, but they read them as Judges. Black's fa-
miliarity with them has come from making them.
Black feels the same way about administrative
law.
In the Connecticut General Life Insurance Co.
case, he startled the bar by wanting the court to
go back to a remark it dropped in an opinion in
1873, in spite of a subsequent line of decisions to
the contrary.

"I do not believe," said Black, "the word "per-
son" in the fourteenth amendment includes cor-
porations . . . A constitutional interpretation,
that is wrong should not stand. I believe this
court should overrule previous decisions inter-
preting the fourteenth amendment to include
corporations."
The fourteenth amendment, he said, "followed
the freedom of a race from slavery," and when
it was submitted to the people they "were told
that its purpose was to protect weak and helpless
human beings and were not told that it was
intended to remove corporations in any fashion
from the control of state governments." In 1873,
five years after its adoption, this court itself'
said: "We doubt very much whether any action
of a state not directed by way of discrimination
against the Negroes as a class, or on account of
their race, will ever be held to come within the
purview of this provision."
Then someone, Black said, dug up the journal
of the Joint Committee of Congress which drafted
the amendment and found an indication that
they intended to protect corporations as well as
Negroes. But a secret purpose does not justify an
interpretation, Black concludes.
Black is not subversive. He is simply disrespect-
ful of recent precedents. Black's regard for legis-
lation is something more than a prejudice against
corporations.
* * *
In the case of Collector vs. Day, Black came to
the conclusion that "the entire subject of inter-
governmental tax immunity" should be re-exam-
ined, particularly in view of the sixteenth amend-
ment, which authorizes Congress to tax incomes
"from whatever source derived."
Black proceeded to point out that the Con-
stitution does not require us to divide the public
into taxpaying and non-taxpaying groups, de-
pending on their functions. On the contrary, the
sixteenth amendment empowers Congress to
collect taxes on income "from whatever source
derived," and this-given its most obvious mean-
ing-is broad enough to allow Congress to tax
all public employes uniformly. That was Holmes'
view, and is the view of the President now.
Black's attitude is the same whenever tlhg
court reads into the Constitution what he does
not find there.
A couple of generations ago, the Judges be-
gan to think they could make better consti-
tutional law as they interpreted the Constitution
in their decisions than the legislators who were
implementing it with their statutes. However, the
more certain they became that their constitu-
tional docrine was better than the legislators', the
more of it they were tempted to make.
Only a few of them were aware that the legis-
lators were becoming more skillful taking their
work more in earnest, getting more trained ad-j
vice, showing more sophistication and conse-
quently more professional pride. Black's dis-
respect and distaste for judicial statesmanship
spring from the expert's respect for his own art.
Stone has said, "The only check on our exercise
of power is our sense of self-restraint." Some, like,
Holmes, have had the humility of great wis-
dom. Those with less wisdom have shown much
less humility.

The 'World
Federal Uion'

. . .9

T HE MICHIGAN DAILY receives mail
every day from publicity depart-
ments of scores of organizations and institutions.
Most of these unsolicited letters are dicarded im-
mediately. But early this week we received a
sheaf of correspondence from an organization
known as the "World Federal Unionists," that is
of sufficient interest and importance to be dis-
cussed here.
Early in April Clarence Streit, for ten years
the New York Times' League of Nations cor-
respondent at Geneva, published a book called
"Union Now," in which it is proposed that the
democracies of the world join together, "not in
treaty, not in alliance, not in league, but in a
Union analagous to the American union."
"Union Now," may be the work of a dreamer,
an impractical idealist, but it has nevertheless
conjured up a vision of the greatest political and
economic opportunity in history. It has caused
the proponents of the libertarian school of eco-
nomics to indulge in delicious dreams of free-
trade and open world markets, and unrivaled in-
dustrial expansion. And it has become the holy
book of knowledge of that quaint group of surviv-
ors of the Wilsonian Millenium who have formed
the World Federal Unionists organization in
order to put into practice the ideas expressed by
Mr. Streit.
Mr. Streit would invite into his union, as
founder states, what he calls the "Atlantic dem-
ocracies." Certain democracies are temporarily
excluded for special reasons; but the plan is
"open-ended" and states will be admitted as the
world situation permits, providing they adopt a
bill of rights. Counting the independent domin-
ions of Britain as separate states, Mr. Streit
names fifteen founders, to wit: the U.S.A., Great
Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the
Union of South Africa, Ireland, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark,
Norway and Finland.
Each of the citizens of this gargantuan democ-
racy would be a citizen of the Union, precisely as
each citizen of the forty-eight states is a citizen
of the United States. There would thus be formed
a new and gigantic nation of 280,000,000 people,
resulting, Mr. Streit claims, in the opening of in-
dustrial expansion that would raise the standard
of living of millions of consumers. The new
nation would have a capital of its own, an execu-
tive board, a senate and a house of representa-
tives; it would have. power to frame the union's
foreign policy, but with regard to internal mat
ters, its powers would be strictly limited. Inter-
nally it would be concerned with international
matters, just as the U.S. government is concerned
with matters interstate. Each of the constituent
democracies would retain its own autonomy,
would (with the exception of the specific powers
granted to the union) be absolute within its own
borders, just as each state in the American union
retains all the primary political powers.
There are, of course, a score of objections that
can be immediately raised: geography, the
strength of the nationalist idea, and the diffi-
culty of abolishing international tariffs and dis-
criminations. And to some of these objections
there are also satisfactory answers.. With these
we are not at present concerned: the plan has not
yet been worked out in all its ramifications, and
no judgment of it can be properly made at this
time. The book and the letter from the World
Federal Unionists are cited here because they

TODAY by David
IN WASHINGTON Lawrence

WASHINGTON, May 20.-A spurt to Ameri-
can business of unprecedented proportions might
easily result from the passage of a bill introduced
by Sen. James Mead of New York which is under-
stood to have Administration backing. It is a re-
vision of an earlier bill, introduced several
months ago, relating to intermediate credit for
small businesses, but the new measure goes much
farther in opening up the channels of credit than
any preceding proposal.
The businesses which would get the credit are
those which can use any sum up to $1,000,000 ii
credit, so that a goodly number would hardly
come within the category of "small businesses,"'
as the term has been popularly used, though
many really small businesses would, of course,
wish to take advantage of the plan.
The proposal, in brief, contemplates an insur-'
ance of bank loans. Only those banks which are
themselves insured under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation are to be eligible, which
means banks which now have some form of
Federal supervision.
The new legislation, if adopted by Congress,
would permit a bank to insure any loan up to 90
per cent of its possible loss. The loans are to be
made eligible for rediscount at the Federal Re-
serve Banks, so they could hardly become frozen
assets or impair the standing of a bank because
they could quickly be turned into cash.
Periodic reports would be demanded of banks
and corporations participating in the loans, and
regulations would be made by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, which is to be the princi-
pal lending agency behind the loans. Interest
rates are to be fixed at 4 per cent and an addi-
tional 1 per cent is to be charged as the in-.
surance premium, but the RFC would have the
right to permit the banks under certain circum-
stances to increase or decrease interest rates.
The legislation would, however, establish 4 per
cent as the base. The text of the important prom
vision of the Mead Bill, which doubtless will be
incorporated with a similar measure introduced
in the House by Rep. Robert Allen of Pennsyl-
vania, follows:
"Subject to the provisions of this act, the
corporation (meaning the RFC), upon applica-
tion, is authorized to insure any bank against
the whole or any part of the loss or losses, in
respect of principal or interest, or both, which
such bank may sustain in excess of an amount

For such insurance the corporation is authorized
to determine what constitutes a business purpose.
"For such insurance, the corporation shall
charge a premium of not less than one-fourth of
one percentum nor more than one percentum per
annum of the unpaid balance of such loan: pro-
vided that the corporation in its discretion may
charge a higher premium, or may refuse to grant
insurance altogether on any loans of any bank
which in the judgment of the corporation pursues
a policy of insuring only the more doubtful of
it sloan eligible for insurance.
"The corporation shall from time to time fix
the premium rates to be charged for the insur-
ance of loans, which rates may be adjusted irk
accordance with appropriate classifications
based, among other things, upon the nature of
the loans and the character of the risks involved,
and the premium rates for which the corporation
undertakes to insure any particular loan shall
not be increased during the life of such loan."
Companies with an insured indebtedness ex-
ceeding $1,000,000 could not have any more loans
of this type under the proposed law, though they
could have bond issues or any other kind of
credit they can get. The loans are to be made
for a period not less than one year and not to
exceed ten years. If there is any service charge,
fee or commission connected with the loan, as
sometimes happens in mortgage transactions, the
fee cannot amount to more than one-fourth of 1
per cent for the life of the loan.
Loans can be insured even if they are "subor-
dinated to short term indebtedness incurred in
the ordinary course of business.'! There is also
the following provision, which gives the RFC
broad powers,:
"The corporation shall have power to insert in
the insurance contract covering any loan insured
under this act such terms and conditions as it
may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out
the purposes of this act or to prevent the abuse
of the credit faciilties herein provided."
The theory back of the bill is that the insur-.
ance premiums on the vast number of good loans
which are paid at maturity will more than offset
the possible losses from those loans which go
"sour" in the course of a few years. Even so,
the loans will probably be based on assets, so
that total losses might be the exception rather
than the rule. Provision also is expected to be
made for regular installment payments, so that
a company whose current position indicates it

THEATRE
By NORMAN KIELL
The second presentation of the Ann
Arbor Dramatic Season will be Elmer
Rice's "American Landscape," which
will open at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre this Tuesday evening.
When it was first produced on
Broadway last December, "American
Landscape" marked the return of Mr.
Rice to the legitimate theatre after
an absence of nearly four years. Mr.
Rice's voluntary retirement arose
prom the critical reception accorded
his "Between Two Worlds," and
"Judgment Day," which he felt de-
deserved a better fate. All the right-
eous indignation burst forth from Mr.
Rice and he denounced the Theatre,
Broadway, and The Critics; vowing
never again to return to the theatri-
cal fold.
But Mr. Rice is a man of the theatre
and could never keep away for too
long a period. Time is a great healer,
and in four years, Mr. Rice recovered
his spirit, prompted by the organiza-
tion of The Playwrights' Company,
which is the sort of cooperative move-
ment that appeals to him as sound
for an art and a business.
The Company, composed of Robert
Sherwood, Maxwell Anderson, S. N.
Berhman, Sidney Howard, and of
course, Mr. Rice, began their opera-
tions with Mr. Sherwood's Pulitzer
Prize winner, "Abe Lincoln in Illi-
nois." It was directed by the ubiquit-
ous Mr. Rice with the clarity and
force of a master woman. Their
next production with was Maxwell
Anderson's musical comedy, "Knick-
erbocker Holiday," which was fol-
lowed by "American Landscape."
More recently, in conjunction with
Katherine Cornell and Guthrie Mc-
Clintic, they have produced Mr.
Behrman's "No Time for Comedy."
Mr. Rice has long been a stimulat-
ing force in the theatre. His "Street
Scene," a Pulitzer Prize winner, was
an outstanding success. "The Adding
Machine" created a sensation in the
American theatre. Other hits include
'The Left Bank" and "Counsellor-at-
Law," which Play Production did here
last October.
The story of "American Landscape"
as the Dramatic Season brochure tells
us, "concerns the conflict of the older
and younger generations in an Ameri-
can family, whose roots are deep in
American soil and who must find a
solution for life today. They are
sturdy, honest Americans puzzled
over the many political and social
problems of the present day."
Heading the cast is Harry Irvine,
