Prior to March 4, 1933, when a statesman solemnly announced that he favored upholding the Constitution, U. S. citizens quietly turned to their sports pages and forgot him. If he asserted that the Government ought to protect property rights, ought to encourage men to earn, save, acquire and keep property, he could not stir even a flutter of interest. But last week when six eminent gentlemen propounded these propositions they made front-page news.

Its Brothers Straus might grouse about taxes and codes if their store failed to earn a profit on a $45,000,000 turnover but they would be expected also to effect a quick turnover in executives.
