abandoned. ,uch assurance would enable the people to dismiss this measure from their minds, for this Session at least, and give thought to other important measures pending in Congress. It would take the Court, subject off the air, off the front pages and out of the eéditorial colu mns of the newspapers, to give place to other subjects of -major importance on! which, there is a lack 'of full inform a- tion. The proposai keeps .coming up aanandiagain te crowd other mat- ters.out of discussions. Relief t. Legislatera A definite statenient of abandon- ment..of thé Court plan would re- lieve the anxiety of many Representa- tives and Senators, who cherish the hope t hat they-will net have te go on record in, a choice between party Ioyalty and personal, convictions., It Would relîeve. the concern of the Democratic members who fear that, a bitter figh1t on the 1Fioor of, the Sen- ate will divide their party into two irreconcilable groups. It would re-, move the prospects of an- extended session into August or September and Congress would be stimulated to action on other matters toward early adjournment. Such assurance would. ini short, let the Congress and the Country breathe a little easier. Thanks to the able leadership of -the opposition to the original plan iarhy receptive te what their conistitu- encies are thinking and saying. Th.ey are peculiarly 'alert te the trend of public opinion. Congrèss invariably re- flects that trend. As-a resuit, the-re is hardly any question but that a' six-, judge increase on the. Supremne Court 'would be defeated in the Senate. Even sorne of the proponents private- ly say as niuch. liatimae compnromise opposition, W hile he did net say just what would, be the, acceptable basis orapossible compromise, it is gen- era lly believed that hehad a two judge increase in mind. A compromise requires concessions on: both sides. There .as. a time when the President ý undoubtedly could have ùbtained a concession 'of two: judges iIns ,tead of six from the opposition-te bis bil. About a month ago he probalblv.could have had such. a provision passed with comparative ease. But at that time the. opposi-. tien' was net as certain as it is today that it could defeat the six-judge provision. Today it feels certain.ý The time. for co mpromiise seems te have passed.. It is doubtful that the President could obtain even: two judges, <Qosî4.tiopQppose* Compromise Under the cîrcumistance.s the op- position believes that it has every- thing te. gain and -not-hing -to lose -by refusing te make any. concession. Th is attitude is expressed in the pub- lic statement of Senator Edward R. Burke, 'Democrat, of Nebraska, when told of the President's change of at- titude. He said: "There can't be any compromise on.the basis of adding-a- lesser num- between those wno are wiling te acic somie memnbers and those of us who are fighting te maintain an indepen&- ent couirt." A six- judge increase would be de- feated. The. vote on a two-judge in- crease would probably be very close. As to what the final resuit will be' largely depends upon the public ré- action.
