While it Is believed that the death of Senator Robinson will delay President Roosevelt's Supreme Court plan, it is expected that the Court Bill will ultimately be passed. Senator Robinson's death presages a fight between President Roosevelt's supporters and opponents within the Democratic Party, but it is expected that the President will also bd victorious in this. The modified Court proposals will produce a contest of strength to determine If President Roosevelt is strong enough to carry on. One newspaper said that the President Is ready to venture all on the proposals.
Meanwhile Congress is compelled to sit through the hot Washington summer, as a result of which members are short tempered and very quarrelsome. Other important features of the programme Including the land economy scheme and the Governmental departmental reform measures are being delayed.
