Question presented
On March 9,1933, Congressman Louis T. McFadden spoke vigorously against a proposed ‘emergency’ leg islation; that subsequently became on that very day, 48 Stat. 1, The Banking Emergency Act, and which amended the Trading With The Enemy Act of 1917, (hereinafter TWEA). McFadden described it thusly: “It is a dictatorship over finance in the United States. It is a complete control over the hanking system in the United States;” 77 Cong. Rec. 80. The Trading With The Enemy Act, 1917, is strictly a War measure; Stoehr v. Wallace, 255 U.S. 239 (1921), 255 U.S. 241. That Act of March 9, 1933 initiated a domestic war, and produced an absolute federal sover eignty over the American society of nation/states which formed the New Deal Union as occupied Terri tory; Cross v. Harrison, Syllabus, 57 U.S. 164 (1853), 57 U.S. 166, citing to 1 Burlaquami, and to Vatel on Inter national law. Whether the use of the federal War power via the amended (TWEA), to establish federal jurisdictions in side the Union States is an act of Treason? Whether the intentional acts of the named de fendants, Executive Branch employees all, unaided by either constitutional authority or by congressional leg islation; while acting knowingly and in direct support of the previously repealed (TWEA) and other federal legislation supporting these extra-constitutional and radical changes, amounts to providing “Aid and Com fort” to federal Treason?
