  • 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.

  • PALESTINE: TERMINATION of the MANDATE 15 May 1948
    PALESTINE: TERMINATION OF THE MANDATE 15 May 1948 [Statement prepared for public information by the Colonial Office and Foreign Office, His Majesty's Stationery Office] His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will cease to be responsible for the administration of Palestine from midnight on 14th May, 1948. The ending of thirty years of British rule in Palestine, begun when General Allenby's troop occupied that country towards the close of the first world war, provides a fitting occasion for a brief review of its history and of the policy pursued by His Majesty's Government. I. The Origin and Nature of the British Mandate for Palestine The Mandate for Palestine was assigned to His Majesty by the Supreme Council of the Allied Powers in 1920, was approved by the League of Nations in 1922 and took effect in 1923, when the Treaty of Lausanne formally ended the war between the Allied Powers and the Ottoman Empire, in which Palestine had previously been included. To implement this Mandate, His Majesty's Government set up in Palestine an Administration comprising a British High Commissioner, appointed by and responsible to the Colonial Office, assisted by an Advisory Council nominated by him from his officials. These, together with the police and judiciary, were initially mainly British, but, in the civil service, British subjects were gradually replace by Arabs and Jews in all but the most senior appointments. The Administration was supported by a British garrison. With this mandate His Majesty's Government accepted certain obligations, which are set out in two documents: the Covenant of the League of Nations and the Mandate for Palestine.

  • Port-Au-Prince (May 1947-August 1948) En Route to Haiti (UH000, 001
    The Paul-Henri and Erika Bourguignon Photographic Archives The Ohio State University Libraries Port-au-Prince (May 1947-August 1948) En route to Haiti (UH000, 001, 002) Paul Bourguignon arrived in Haiti in May 1947, having traveled from Le Havre to Martinique on board the French luxury liner Le Colombie. The boat had been converted into a military hospital ship and had not yet returned to its prewar character. It was crowded with emigrants from many different European countries, most of whom hoped to relocate in South America. From Martinique Bourguignon proceeded to Port-au- Prince, with stops on the way in Guadeloupe and the Dominican Republic. In Port-au-Prince, Bourguignon settled at the Hotel Excelsior on the Champ de Mars and soon began to take photographs. The city and its surroundings (PH003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 012, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, 018, 019, 020, 021, 022, 023, 024, 025, 026, 027, 028, 029, 030) Port-au-Prince is located on the Gulf of Gonâve, named for the island at its center. The city was founded by the French, in the 18th century, as the capital and principal port of the colony of St. Domingue. In 1944--the most recent date for which US Government estimates were available in 1948--Port-au-Prince was reported to have a population of 125,000. Unofficial estimates in 1948 set the total closer to 200,000. The increase, by all accounts, was due to a continuous migration from rural areas to the city. This long term- trend was accelerated, on the one hand, by fragmentation and alienation of rural lands and on the other, by the availability of service jobs in the city.

My out-of-town assignments for the Southwestern Bell's house organ leave me no time for extra work. Since March 1945 I have traveled extensively writing and illustrating feature articles for the magazine. At present I am in Hannibal on a rural telephone line story. Early in June I covered the harvest fields in Southwest Kansas. In May I roamed through Ok­ lahoma for a week and then went to New York to write a story on "The Telephone Hour" radio program. My schedule will take me to Fayetteville.
