D., Aug. 16.—(F}— © Beverity of sentences imposed by ‘American courts weaken the admin- istration of criminal law, H. C. Berg- |. man, Winnipeg, president of the Manitoba Bar association, told mem- bers of the North Dakota Bar associa- tion at their annual meeting here Jast night. Mr. Bergman, who received his le- Bal education in North Dakota, out- lined differences between the Cana- dian and American judicial systems. He has retained his membership in the North Dakota Bar association since 1903. “Since coming to Canada,” Mr. Bergman said, “I have often wonder- ed whether. the severity of the sen- tences imposed was not really’a weak- ness—perhaps the great weakness—in the American administration of crim- inal law. “ “I have wondered whether these Severe sentences did not really defeat their own purpose. I am not sur- Prised that under that system public opinion should demand that adequate safeguards, both technical and other- | wise, should be thrown around a per- | bon accused of crime. | “I am not surprised that under that bystem appellate courts insist that the technical and other rights of the ac- cused be strictly observed before he is . deprived of his liberty for 15, or 20 or 30 years. I would be all in favor of that myself, and I would be op- Posed to the removal of any of these safeguards so long as these severe sentences prevailed. And yet I like to think of myself as a reasonably Se * as @ means of livelihood and who is ‘».« greater discrimination in their ap- law-abiding citizen. “In Canada the sentences are very moderate compared with those that Prevail in the United States. A sen- tence to a term of three to five years is regarded in Canada as a very se- vere sentence. In the case of first'of- fenders only a very light sentence or @ suspended sentence is imposed. It is only the hardened criminal, whose Past record shows that he has delib- erately embarked on a life of crime charged with the commission of a serious offense who ever gets a severe sentence; and, as already pointed out, what is regarded as a severe sen- tence in Canada would be regarded as @ comparatively light one in the Unit- ed States. “If you turn to England, which has a record for the successful adminis- tration of criminal law, surpassing both the United States and Canada, you will find that the sentences im- Posed: are considerably lighter than those imposed in Canada. “I draw your attention to these facts as facts and leave it to you to draw your own conclusions. I do not pose as a criminologist and I realize that my own conclusions are not of any value. I, therefore, merely wish to leave with you this question: “Is it not more likely to create a feeling of greater respect for the criminal law and its administration when it is known that a guilty person brought to trial is reasonably sure of being convicted; of receiving a pun- ishment that even he must recognize is nothing more than what is fair under all the circumstances, and of staying convicted and of actually serving the moderate sentence that is imposed, than it is to have a system of imposing sentences that are so severe as to lead (1) to the imposition of statutory safeguards of a highly technical and in- flexible nature to guard against the Possibility of an improper conviction; (2) that makes juries hesitate to con- vict except in a cooper-riveted case, and (3) that makes appellate courts hesitate to uphold convictions when the purely technical rights of the ac- cused have been infringed and thus leads to the severe, and what some may regard as the excessive, punish- ment of the few and the escape of the many.” Appointment of judges for life, Mr. Bergman told the North Dakota lawyers, tends to produce a more in- dependent judiciary and a more ex- perienced judiciary than is possible under the system of election by popu- lar vote for a short time. “In my humble opinion,” he con- tinued, “our system of appointing judges for life—the system that pre- vails in the case of your federal courts —is superior to the system of electing judges by popular vote for a short term. It, of course, has its draw- backs. “I am free to confess that the rec- ord of both our leading Canadian Political parties in the matter of ju- dicial appointments has been rather discreditable. “In the main they have been made as rewards for party service. The question is not approached in a non- partisan spirit and no serious attempt is made to find the best available man. So far as my personal knowl- edge goes there is only one case on record—there may, of course, be oth- ers that I know nofhing about—of a Canadian government appointing to the bench a man of a different polit- ical faith. “In spite of the fact that in Can- ada the appointments to the bench y influence or control in any shape or form. : “I do not for one moment suggest that our bench is in any respect su- Perior to your o1 I freely confess that our system produced judges that we would have given almost any- thing to'get rid of, and that our Can- Pointment of judges than have your People in the selection of their judges by popular vote.

Jones, district director for the United States labor employment service, said in his monthly report issued today. “Highway construction and other outdoor operations continue to utilize many unskilled laborers,” the report said. ating with normal forces.” For the Fargo and Grand Forks dis- trict, the report said: “Fargo—The feature of the employ- ment situation in this city and vicin- ity is the strong call for agricultural labor. Harvest workers will’ be in brisk demand by the middle of Au- gust. There is little change in forces employed in meat-pacl plants, railroads and other leading Industries. City: improvements and highway projects are still furnishing employ- ment to many workers. “Grand Forks—Local employment conditions are more satisfactory than for some months. Farm help is in good demand. Building-trades men are fairly busy. Industries generally operating at normal.” “Decided gains” in industrial em- ployment were shown in Minnesota during July, a review of conditions in that state said. “Heavy calls were made on the un- skilled labor supply for agricultural operations, state highway construc- tion, city improvements and other summer activities,” the report stated. “Additional contracts have been let for state highway work which will fur- nish employment to about 2,500 addi- tional workers. For South Dakota, Mr. Jones re- ported “the wheat harvest was gen- eral during the latter half of July but no difficulty was experienced in ob- taining sufficient labor to meet the demand. Normal employment pre- vails in major industrial plants. Building continued fairly active with the supply of craftsmen sufficient to meet the needs, however. Outdoor operations are still employing a large number of unskilled workers.

It is proposed to combine the Lewis and Clark talking picture with others showing the progress of exploration in this country. Each major aspect of exploration, according to the report, would have a separate representation, such as for example, general explora- tion, exploration for mineral resources, agricultural, climatig and water power exploration, exploration for wag- on trails, railroads, canals and natural waterways, exploration for recreation sources, and exploration for the “free air for air travel.” —— | He’s King of | | Tropical Isle i | | | i | pS i} Captain John S.
