...Justice Hughes delivered an hour-long decision declaring unconstitutional that section of the National Industrial Recovery Act under which President Roosevelt had forbidden the interstate shipment of hot oil (TIME, Jan. 14), he had for an audience his eight associates, a handful of lawyers, a few newshawks and a chamber half filled with newlyweds, schoolboys and sightseers. Most of Congress was in the Senate chamber listening to Louisiana's Long start his anti-New Deal campaign. Last week on second thought Senators and Representatives realized they might have spent their time more profitably in listening to Chief Justice Hughes...
...toiled up the Lisbon terraces through the gay Lisbon streets to celebrate the great day, Dictator General Antonio Oscar de Fragoso Carmona last week gave Portugal its first nibble at parliamentary government since he set up his self-styled "Dictatorship without a Dictator" in 1926.

The avowed opponents of human rights-the Liberty Leaguers, the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturers Association - can find scant consolation as their programs for doles, for balanced budgets, for gold standards, for free rein in the industrial field, are indirectly consigned to the wastepaper basket of ancient history.
