The leading article in the November issue of Harper's is entitled the "Supreme Court and the New Deal." It is one of the most interesting and stimulating of the speculations which the moves of the NRA have induced, and in its original mode of attack, it is sure to attract attention from many classes. Mr. Hitchell commences by pointing out the evident fact that the success of the NIRA depends on the decision of the Supreme Court, when that body is eventually faced with a test case. He then proceeds to discuss the philosophy, life, and opinions of the judges, in an attempt partially to predict their decisions. He touches on the fundamental questions of property rights, in a manner which has no nauseous tang of economic theory. The article concludes with a discussion of the fact that the Court, if it decides for the NIRA, will be ending in a sense its own supremacy. The article does not prove anything, nor does it give a great deal of information; it fulfills the best function of its kind, in forcing thought, and in constraining that thought within tempered bounds.

A further drawing card in the issue is the article, "Eddie Stands for Good Dean Sport," by John R. Tunis: This portrait of a Director of Athletics by the author of "Maguire, Builder of Men," is a bitingly sareastic caricature of that figure of the modern football world so familiar to the undergraduates who have brown to their estate in that era of Rackety-Rax athletics and sportsmanship. The sarcasm, however, never leads one to feel that truth has been sacrificed to the deed. "Eddie," of course, is a composite; his image is not applicable without qualification to all the Banghams of this world but it strikes close.
