c10:Nos. 564 and 573

Mr. Justice- McReynolds.-
I think the opinion of the majority goes much beyond the necessities of the case.
The “ Organic Act ” is careful to provide: “ That all executive functions of the government must be directly under the Governor General or within one' of the executive departments under the supervision and control of the Governor General.”
A gqpd reason lies behind this. limitation which does not apply to our Federal or State governments. From the language employed, read in the light of all the circumstances, perhaps it is possible to spell out enough to overthrow the challenged legislation. Beyond that it is unnecessary to go.
