Speech #860077607

Before going into the statement that I would like to make about H.R. 3 perhaps it might be well to revert to the statement made by the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary a few moments ago with reference to the law of bankruptcy. As I understood the question of the chairman it was whether or not States could pass bankruptcy acts and have them enforced. I think there can be no question in the minds of lawyers about that because in the section 8 of article I of the Constitution we find these specific words setting forth the powers of the Congress: To establish a uniform rule of naturalization. and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States. The chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary in support of his argument informally presented to me a case entitled International Shoe Co. against Pincus. which came to the Supreme Court of the United States from the Supreme Court of Arkansas. It is reported in 278 U.S. 261.
