Some Legal Aspects Of Guaranteed War Loans, William B. Cudlip Dec 1942

Some Legal Aspects Of Guaranteed War Loans, William B. Cudlip

Michigan Law Review

Of the many innovations in the field of commercial banking since 1933, one of the most important introduced as a result of the war emergency is the "guaranteed" war loan plan which was authorized by the President under Executive Order 9112, dated March 26, 1942. Under the plan any loan made by any financing institution, including specified government agencies, to a borrower engaged in the production of war materials may be guaranteed by the War or Navy Departments or the Maritime Commission of the federal government, in those cases where the borrower is unable to obtain adequate financing without such …

Constitutional Law-Saboteurs And The Jurisdiction Of Military Commissions, George T. Schilling Dec 1942

Constitutional Law-Saboteurs And The Jurisdiction Of Military Commissions, George T. Schilling

Michigan Law Review

The jurisdiction of military tribunals in the United States has troubled political and legal writers since the days of the Revolution. Decided cases are not numerous. The boundaries separating military and civil jurisdiction are not precise. Observations of the plight of oppressed peoples in other lands as well as the conception of total war and the course of action necessary for survival warrant a reexamination and reappraisal of our constitutional guarantees, which were in part based upon and reflect a fear of tyrannical military rule. A pronouncement of the Supreme Court of the United States in this field is, therefore, …

Price Control - Problems Of The Over-All Ceiling - Rent Control - Rationing, Samuel D. Estep, George T. Schilling, James L. Mccrystal Aug 1942

Price Control - Problems Of The Over-All Ceiling - Rent Control - Rationing, Samuel D. Estep, George T. Schilling, James L. Mccrystal

Michigan Law Review

Three months after the passage of the Emergency Price Control Act a partial and selective approach to the problem of price control has been abandoned and a comprehensive over-all ceiling has been put into effect. The economic forces generated by total war have quickly proved too powerful for the limited controls originally planned. As a result, a sweeping program of governmental control over the economic life of the nation has been instituted, with consequences too complex and far-reaching to be foreseen in any detail.

Antitrust During National Emergencies: Ii, Thomas K. Fisher Jun 1942

Antitrust During National Emergencies: Ii, Thomas K. Fisher

Michigan Law Review

The effects of the Depressions of 1893 and 1929, the Panic of 1907, and World War I upon the enforcement and substantive content of the antitrust law were examined in the first part of this article. Because of the change in government policy toward the law as effected in the early months of the Roosevelt administration, the Depression of 1929 was divided into the years under the Hoover administration and the years under the Roosevelt administration. We have noted that during the former period only twenty-five actions were brought to enforce the law. The legislative policy of that administration in …

Labor Law - War Labor Problems And Policies, Paul M. Oberndorf, Donald H. Treadwell May 1942

Labor Law - War Labor Problems And Policies, Paul M. Oberndorf, Donald H. Treadwell

Michigan Law Review

God is on the side with the most artillery. Wars in the past have been fought by armies of men. The war today is being fought by armies of machines, and ultimate victory will belong to the side which can most quickly place an overwhelming force of fighting equipment on the world battlefield. For many months the United States stood as a spectator while other nations prepared their economies to amass such a force. We are now faced with the imperative need of overtaking and passing the capacity for production of war equipment that has been built or seized by …

Antitrust During National Emergencies: I, Thomas K. Fisher

Michigan Law Review

In this article an examination will be made of the effect of previous national emergencies upon the enforcement and substantive content of the antitrust law.

In conclusion, suggestions will be made for resolving certain aspects of the problem as yet unsatisfactorily answered. Before entering into a discussion of the past emergencies, a brief …

Administrative Law - Selective Service Act - Finality Of Local Draft Board's Classifications, William H. Shipley

Michigan Law Review

The wife of a registrant who had been placed in class I-A and inducted into the army under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 petitioned the federal district court for a writ of habeas corpus to secure her husband's release, contending that the draft board had acted arbitrarily in classifying him. The petitioner and the registrant became engaged in December, 1939, at which time the date of their wedding was set for January 4, 1941. On November 20, 1940, the registrant filed his questionnaire with his local board, indicating that he then had no dependents but that he …
