The article discusses public appointments in America. The appointment of Solicitor General Stanley Reed to the U.S. Supreme Court comes as a reward for services rendered the Administration. Reed is a good legal technician and one who labored mightily to convince the Supreme Court that the New Deal administrative efforts could be rephrased in constitutional terminology and given a place in the respected file of past precedents without due violence to the judicial mind. The appointment met with an immediate favorable response from many of the Senate liberals, who called Reed a "liberal."
