Pressed by the Farmers' National Council and other lobbyists, the Department of Justice filed a complaint against the Armour-Morris merger. The packers insisted that the merger had been negotiated with the implied consent of the late Secretary, Henry C. Wallace, Mr. Jardine's predecessor.

...Dispute. Postmasters are appointed by the President "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." Mr. Pepper contended that they cannot be removed except with the same advice and consent.

"If this is true," concluded Dr. Kirkpatrick, "then the Harvard faculties can not long consent to the personal government of the president of that institution, far different though it be from that of Mussolini and Rivera. But too high a price may be paid for every 'good government.' Certainly if the superman fails and the mediocre man, not to mention the stupid incumbent...
