COURT REFORMS.
Issue Now to Come Before
U.S. Senate.
COMMITTEE'S CONDEMNATION.
(Received n.:io a.m.)
W ASHIXGTOX*. June 14.
Tt is expected that the issue of President Roosevelt's Supreme Court reform proposals, which lie modified last month on receipt of an unfavourable report from a judicial committee of the Senate, coinciding with the resignation of the most conservative judge on the Bench, Justice van Devanter, will now couie before the Senate.
The committee's report, published today, calls the judiciary bill "a needless, futile and utterly dangerous abandonment of the constitutional principle," and asks for its defeat "so emphatically that a parallel will never again be presented to a free American people."
