...courts. Obviously, until this stand is modified by the Court, any transfer of authority from General Johnson to the Federal Trade Commission means, in practise, the supremacy of the common courts, which have nothing but the very limited precedent of the Minnesota mortgage case to support their findings. The sphere of law within which they operate does not now empower them to validate the important legislation of the NRA, and it will not do so until the Supreme Court has built a broad basis for the executive claims.

Thus it will not become an institution for training intellectuals. It insists on catering to the masses; it hopes to convert them...
...more of it. but a few progressives, led by smart San Talal, began to dream of modernizing Mandoa. Meantime in London careful young Maurice Durrant, partner in Prince's Tours, Ltd., was carving his career. He heard of Mandoa as a virgin territory for his firm, a "sphere of influence" that might be developed for England. And his ne'er-do-well brother Bill was beginning to prove a hampering embarrassment. Killing two birds, he got Bill sent to Mandoa as agent of Prince's Tours...
