...offered at the trial or of the affidavits presented as grounds for a new trial. This being so, an appeal to the Governor to appoint a commission a review matters, with which under our system of law the regular judicial machinery is incapable of dealing, differs in no essential respect from the appeal to the King's conscience out of which our present system of Equity has grown. Even if such a commission should rec commend a pardon it would not over-whelm or discredit the finding of the Court. The commission would, like the Chancellor's Court, fill...
...evidently not the merits of the Sacco-Vanzetti case which most deeply divide the people of this community. It is the question of the respect owed to the findings of our courts. One great churchman publicly rebukes another for suggesting that the case be reviewed by an executive commission: he characterizes that suggestion as an impertinence.

But statesmen do not pity the Right Honorable Philip Snowden. They respect the power and swiftness of his mind, fear the sting of his unpleasant, rasping tongue. He, as Britain's only Laborite Chancellor of the Exchequer, presented a maiden budget (TIME, May 12, 1924), so clear and masterful that cheers rang from every quarter of the House. Now, since Labor has gone out and Conservatism come...
