Wolff-Bloch V. Jerusalem District Assessing Officer, Alfred Witkon, Yoel Sussman, Shneor Zalman Cheshin

Translated Opinions

The appellant, a dentist who had travelled to the U.S.A., and had spent 10 weeks there studying the latest developments in her profession, claimed the expenses so incurred by her as a deduction for purposes of income tax on the ground that they were incurred "in the production of income." The Assessing Officer refused to allow the deduction and this decision was upheld by the District Court.

Held, allowing an appeal (Cheshin D.P. dissenting), that the expenditure incurred by the appellant was incurred for the purpose of preserving "an existing asset" and could properly be deducted.

International Law - United Nations - Administrative Tribunals As Adjudicators Of Disputes Arising Out Of Employment Contracts With International Organizations, Edward W. Powers S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A crucial though relatively unpublicized problem arising from the creation of international organizations is that of establishing and maintaining the staff or secretariat needed to perform the administrative functions of these organizations. Such a staff must possess not only the competence and integrity of a national civil service, but also an international loyalty or outlook which includes " ... an awareness . . . of the needs, emotions, and prejudices of the peoples of differently-circumstanced countries ... [and] a capacity for weighing these frequently imponderable elements in a judicial manner· before reaching any decision to which they are relevant."

International Law - The Abrogation Of Treaties By War, David R. Macdonald S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In 1923, the United States and Germany entered into a treaty, one provision of which exempted from taxation the government property of either nation situated in the territory of the other. From the outbreak of World War II in 1941 through 1948 the City and County of San Francisco levied real property taxes on the German Consulate, assuming that this treaty had been abrogated by the outbreak of hostilities between the two nations. The taxes were paid under protest, and the Attorney General, as successor to the Alien Property Custodian, sued and recovered them in the trial court. On appeal, …

International Law - Sovereign Immunity - Act Of State, Arthur M. Wisehart S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In 1953 the government of Peru authorized the issuance of scrip certificates to holders of certain of its bonds. Plaintiffs were members of a class of former bondholders who were not among the distributees of the scrip under the terms of the Peruvian enabling act. They alleged that they were entitled to share in the scrip by reason of contracts with the government of Peru and that defendants tortiously had induced Peru to breach these contracts by excluding the plaintiffs from the terms of the legislative enactment. The defense interposed was that litigation of the cause would make it necessary …

Revision Of The United Nations Charter: A Study Of Various Approaches, Richard F. Scott

Michigan Law Review

Although the United Nations Charter has survived rigorous tests of practice and application, all will doubtless agree that it should now undergo careful review if not thorough revision. Review in moderate terms is a matter of continuous international process, the Charter's structures and rules being regularly applied to the situations of everyday international life. As the necessary precondition to revision, however, the Charter will be subjected to a more deliberate, systematic, and searching review before concrete proposals for revision reach a competent international authority. Thus review is at once exploratory and promising. But revision is much more.

International Law-Reservations To Commercial Treaties Dealing With Aliens' Plights To Engage In The Professions, Alan Reeve Hunt S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The question of how far an alien may engage in a profession despite state requirements of citizenship which attach to many professions has not been widely litigated or discussed in this country. Recent action by the United States Senate, however, has created interest in problems presented by commercial treaty provisions which guarantee to alien nationals of many countries the right to engage in professions. Attention has thus been focused on law and policy questions which were formerly of little concern outside of the State Department. On July 21, 1953 the Senate gave its advice and consent to the ratification of …

International Law-Power Of Government-In-Exile To Enact Valid Legislation, John C. Hall S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

After occupying the Netherlands, Germany confiscated bonds of Netherlands nationals and sold them in the black market. Archimedes, an American national, purchased such bonds from a Swiss firm in violation of the Trading with the Enemy Act and executive freezing order. The bonds were placed in a blocked account in the Federal Reserve Bank. A suit by the Netherlands was removed to the New York federal district court and Archimedes was interpleaded. The Netherlands claimed title under a decree made in exile vesting protective title in the Netherlands government. While holding that the complaint stated a cause of action, the …

Treaties And Executive Agreements: Historical Development And Constitutional Interpretation, Wencelas J. Wagner

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The recent proposal to amend the Constitution known as the Bricker Amendment concerns a most vital matter for the nation: its relations with foreign states.

In order to estimate the merits and demerits of the Bricker Amendment it is necessary to get acquainted with the historical development and the constitutional interpretation in the field of international arrangements of the United States. The present observations aim at the presentation of this matter down to the Bricker Amendment. The Amendment itself and the discussion it aroused should be treated in a separate article.

The Treaty-Making Power Is Not A Peril, Moses H. Moses

Cleveland State Law Review

In the United States the treaty-making power is vested in our President and the Senate. Many persons fear this power; they feel that it is so great that it could be used as an instrument to destroy our American democracy. They fear that by treaty the Constitution of the United States may be repealed and replaced by political concepts that are multifarious to our basic freedoms. Because of the structure of our government I feel that these fears are not well substantiated.

International Law - Retroactive Recognition Of De Facto Government Not Invalidation Of Acts Of Prior De Jure Government, Duncan Noble S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

On December 12, 1949, the Chiang regime on Formosa accepted the offer of an American group headed by General Chennault to purchase the physical assets of the Nationalist-operated Central Air Transport Corporation, including forty aircraft located at Hong Kong. The British government ceased to recognize the Nationalists as the de jure government of China on January 5, 1950. Thereafter the British announced that they recognized the Communist regime as the de facto government of those parts of China they actually controlled, effective October 1, 1949, the date the Communists had proclaimed themselves the government of China. The Chennault corporation brought …
