  • THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT: 1946-47* Jom P
    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW REVIEW VOLUME 15 AUTUMN 1947 NUMBER I THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT: 1946-47* Jom P. FRANXt B yTHE fall of i947, it has become possible to make tentative ap- praisal of the status of the present Court in relation to the cycle of liberal and conservative sentiment in the country in recent years. During this century, the country as a whole has alternately inclined to- ward a liberal or a conservative set of policies. Theodore Roosevelt was followed by Taft, Wilson by Normalcy, and now perhaps another Roose- velt is to be followed by another Taft. We can now see that the peak of New Deal liberalism in Congress came in 1935 and 1936.1 There the recession set in immediately after the elec- tion of 1936 despite the landslide, and became a rout at the polls in 1938.2 In the White House the plateau of the liberal spirit ended after the years 1937 and 1938. After the Fair Labor Standards Act of the latter year, the President's attention drifted away from the domestic economy. 3 * This article purports to be as much a social survey as a legal analysis of the work of the Supreme Court at the last term. It is based on the fundamental belief that the Supreme Court of the United States is, and always has been, either consciously or unconsciously, a policy- making institution of the government. Any reader who has made up his mind that this proposition is unsound, or who has made up his mind that the Supreme Court is divided between "judicial activists" and "champions of self-restraint," will surely find what follows unrewarding.

  • Allied Relations and Negotiations with Sweden A
    Allied Relations and Negotiations With Sweden A. The Allies and Sweden's Wartime Neutrality The geography of Sweden's wartime position, surrounded by German armed forces in Norway, Denmark, and Finland and cut off by the blockade imposed by both the Germans and the Allies, shaped the character of its neutrality stance and the Allies' economic warfare policies alike. Until 1943, Allied economic relations with Sweden were regulated by the Anglo-Swedish War Trade Agreement of December 1939, as modified to respond to the changing military situation in Scandinavia. The December 1939 agreement, in which both countries undertook to maintain the exchange of goods at the normal level (i.e., that of 1938), had two main provisions: Britain would not impede Swedish imports of reasonable quantities of commodities, and Sweden promised not to re-export certain specified goods and to maintain its total exports to Germany at 1938 levels. During the first several years of the War, Britain was satisfied that Sweden honored the terms of the 1939 trade agreement. German occupation of Denmark and Norway in April 1940 made the threat of German invasion of Sweden real. Sweden's neutrality was confirmed and defined by an exchange of letters between King Gustav and Adolf Hitler that same month. Swedish wartime diplomacy sought to ward off German invasion by adopting a neutrality that sacrificed some of Sweden's independence and made significant concessions to Germany. While the Allies understood Sweden's strategic plight and were sympathetic to a fellow democracy, concern persisted over Sweden's contribution to Germany's war effort.
