Corey starts out with the present "Crisis," in the face of which he finds what he calls "Niraism" (the New Deal) helpless and meaningless except insofar as it serves to call in the State to bolster up a sagging economic order. Working backward, he considers the "Golden Age" which he insists was by no means everybody's boom. Farmers were excluded and "real" wages remained practically stationary by holding their own with rising prices, no more. But profits increased enormously. These profits were appropriated by "the owners of the means of production" and since they could not be "consumed...
...funds and a niggardly Congress: ''The evidence . . . indicates clearly that the whole Army, as well as the Air Corps, is short of modern armament, equipment and transportation, as well as an adequate munition reserve."

Insofar as "The Last Round-Up" is a step back to the sweeping action and vivid scenery of the silent picture days and away from the courtroom, drawing-room limits that seem to cramp the current crop of talkles, it deserves at least a few words of encouragement...
...told that the rights of property must now give way to the rights of individuals. But, just as in the Minnesota case, he decision was given on emergency grounds, the present decision frankly bases itself on Justice Holmes' ideas of legislative supremacy. In other words, it is liberal only insofar as legislatures tend to be more liberal than courts; if legislatures become reactionary, it would be a reactionary philosophy of law. The distinction is an all-important one; it was the chief distinction between Justices Holmes and Brandeis, who were loosely grouped together as liberals, and it is the chief...
