JUDICIARY REFORM.
MR ROOSEVELTS’ PROGRAMME. THE MILDEST AND BEST. A DIFFERENCE IN OPINION. United Press Assn. —Elec Tel. Copyright. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.
•Speaking in the Senate yesterday, Mr H. F. Ashurst (Democrat —Arizona) defended President Roosevelt’s judiciary reform programme as the mildest and best that could be presented under the circumstances. He made light of his own speech of January 29 in which he had condemned any alteration in the Court by asserting that a man who attempts to be consistent in the public service can never accomplish anything else.
Mr J. T. Robinson (Democrat — Arkansas) strongly attacked organised force, which he said was seeking to control every publicity agency in the nation in order to cry down the judiciary plan.
In radio broadcasts, Mr B. K. Wheeler (Democrat —Montana) and two members of the House of Representatives, Messrs E. E. Cox (Democrat —Georgia), and U. S. Guyer (Republican—Kansas), criticised the programme.
