Cowan licks his legal chops in a fancifully-written article which shows just how loose has been the courts' usage of this Constututional phrase, "commerce . . . among the several States."

As a society belle with enough sense to be bored with her life, she may have bored in her turn...
From England comes the interesting and highly important report that Sir Samuel Hoare is soon due to return to the Baldwin cabinet. His new position, it is authoritatively stated, will be as first Lord of the Admiralty where he will replace the resigning Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell. The crux of the situation is that Sir Samuel's immense energy and grasp of the international situation has been found indispensable, and that the government will risk overthrow or embarassment in return for his invaluable services...
