This hearing was, however, necessarily post poned while the coux announced opin ions in several other cases. These and other preliminaries having been disposed of, W. D. Gmthrie, one of the attorneys for the appellants, Messrs. Hyde and Pollock, in the income tax cases, was recognized by the court to be gin his argnnaents;for the consideration of these cases. Before Mr. Guthrie began the chief justice, after calling the case, stated that in response to the suggestion of the attorney general; which the court inter preted as virtually amotion for a re hearing, the court had decided to per mit counsel to go into all the questions involved. He said the rehearing had been dependent upon the presence of Justice Jackson, which had now been happily realized. The coart had found it necessary to limit the argument to two counsels on each aide, bat it was for counsel to say what time they would re quire. Thereupon Mr. Choate and At torney General Olney, after consulta tion, announced that, five hours on each side would be sufficient, and this time was irranted. judge Wilson wasaiso permitted on behalf of John Goode to file a brief in the present case. Gathrie'a OpcBlaa Argameat. Mr. Guthrie began by saying that counsel for the appellants in the cases had been subjected to considerable crit icism for their motions for a rehearing, hut they had felt justified in the realisa tion of the fact that there were many points still undecided in the final and definite adjudication of what the entire country was vitally interested in, and he assured 'all concerned that the counsel for the appellants in tne pressnc case wouia ap prove it in a spirit of the highest patri otism and with no desire for mere self aggrandizement. He said the question involved was a constitutional one, and added: "The constitution is the polit ical creed of the nation, which must control and rule our destinies and, in sofar as this court shall preserve it in 'tact, according to its letter and its spirit, or permit the darkness of error to affront its light, so will Jbe our future progress or decline, happiness or misery, glory or shame. ' ' Assistant Attorney General Whitney, on behalf of the government, followed Mr. Guthrie. He made a strontr argu ment in favor of incomes from rents be ing taxable. . Americas Apples Under the Ban.

Seitu, Germay, that the American meat is not the only product of the United States which has fallen under the ban of German consumers.
