The New Crime Wave Entire forces of city and state po- lice, supplemented by federal offi- cials, have been baffled by the com- plete mystery attending abductions. With nothing to go on they are in the position of hunting a needle in ® haystack. Aiding the kidnapers and hamper- ing the police is the fact that au- thorities are almost invariably de- nied essential information which the friends of missing persons could sup- ply. This is only natural, in view of the fact that the sole desire of grief- stricken families is to have loved ones returned unharmed. Their belief that obscurity of poverty an advantage. ‘We may have other troubles but we are, at least, safe from the ravages of these underworld activities. Why We Need a Navy of Treaty Strength A few years ago a great many Americans would have been serious- ly disturbed by an announcement that their navy was to be built up forthwith to treaty strength and made literally second to none. Today the news that this is to be done bothers hardly anyone; and this change of attitude measures the failure of American efforts to get the other nations of the world to agree on an effective disarmament pro- gram. No peace-loving American need be .50/ashamed of his country’s record in respect to disarmament. Shortly after the close of the World War the United States fleet, counting vessels already built, ves- sels laid down and vessels definitely appropriated for, was by far the most. powerful fleet ever dreamed of. If the program then in effect had been completed, no other navy on earth could have hoped to cope with American sea strength. The Wash- ington conference saw this country voluntarily throwing away the finest fighting ships ever built. Of our own free will we scrapped our new- est and strongest warships, accepted parity with England and pledged ourselves not to seek naval superior- ity. That was a magnificent beginning. But it was not followed up; and the fault for that failure does not rest on the American government, Re- Peatedly during the next decade Washington sought to extend the arms reduction treaty and scale down world navies, and repeatedly other powers refused to go along. Some- times it was England that stood in cooperation with the police may re- sult in death to the imprisoned vic- tim is not without foundation. Crim- nials of this stripe would hardly shy at murder. ‘The passage of condemnatory reso- lutions and of laws carrying heavier penalties only give mute testimony of society’s inability to cope with the situation. What we need is more kid- napers brought to justice to suffer the punishments already provided for. To obtain this it is going to be necessary for the public at large to cooperate more closely with the au- thorities. If, when a man is reported: kidnaped, every citizen would keep his eyes open for unusual happen- ings in his own vicinity and report suspicious events to the police, we should have more captures of such criminals. The history of most mystery crime solution goes back to public interest in the affair. In most cases hun- dreds of clues, supplied by an alert public, are run down without re- sults, but finally there comes a tip which puts the authorities on the Proper trail. Quick reporting of such crimes and wide dissemination of information would be a help in that it would ap- Prise the public to be on the look- out. It was almost inevitable, after the Lindbergh kidnaping, that this na- tion should have had an epidemic of these crimes. The relative ease with which the Perpetrators of that monstrous out- Tage eluded the law, bolstered by all the forces of the nation, was ample illustration of the relative ease with which this crime may be accom-|‘¢™ Plished under certain circumstances, Since then it is impossible to de- termine how many persons have been held as hostages, how much money has been paid in ransoms. Many sensational cases have since come to light but there is every evidence that not all the kidnapings have been re- Ported. Of the crimes which followed the Lindbergh case only two have been solved; one only partially, In the case of Charles Boettcher, II, of Den- ver, the ringleaders went free, ap- parently to continue their trade, for they are accused of having had a Part in the abduction of William Hamm at St. Paul. The only complete solution in the last half-dozen notorious kidnapings ‘was obtained in the case of a Kan- sas City society girl. Headlines of the daily newspapers give sickening evidence of the ex- tent to which this crime has become Popular. A young man in New York, & banker in central Illinois and a gambler-speculator in Chicago figure in current news of this sort, created by the activities of body-snatchers, “The cause of the epidemic is clear enough. Bootlegging no longer is the highly profitable racket it once was. The advent of legal beer has cut strongly into the demand for strong liquor, and even before that bootleggers were encountering tough going because of reduced demand. It was only natural that men used to Operating outside the law should continue to seek easy money after one source of revenue dried up. The cure is not so easy to arrive at. Numerous difficulties stand in the way of efforts to suppress those engaged in such crimes, With thousands of interested citi- gens warned in sufficient time and on the job, kidnapers would find their activities tremendously handi- capped. More convictions would be obtained and steel bars would sepa- rate these wolves from the outside world. In the meantime, those of us who are not rich enough to warrant the attention of such criminals find the pb an area of 20, % the way, sometimes France, some- times Japan. As a result, it has been made very apparent that world sentiment has not yet reached the point at which ‘ny genuine, far-reaching naval dis- armament program is possible. We have tried, we have made sacrifices, but it is no go. We have what is left of the Washington treaty, but there 4s no likelihood that anything better can be obtained for years to come. That being the case, what is there left to do but build up to treaty strength? The time has not yet come in which we can discard our defenses. If we continue to main- tain any navy at all, it has to be a good one; and since no one else is willing: to go with us on a new re- duction program, we can hardly do anything. else than make our navy the best navy that the existing treaty permits.

And that’s far enough to probe the neurotic mind. Lets’ see precisely what this exe- crable column teaches about “ei hausted nerves” or “nervous break- cown.” Here it is in words of one syllable which even a neurotic can understand: ‘There are two classes of neurotics, neurasthenics, persons purporting to have weak nerves or nervous exhaus- tion or nervous breakdown. Class A neurotics are the Dum Dans and Dumb Doras of the invalid world. They simply don’t know enough to have & proper health or medical ex- amination which will disclose what really ails them.

In medicine and surgery we have a phrase—sci- entific neglect. These Class A neu- rotics give whatever doesn’t ail them meticulous attention. Class B neurotics are the malinger- ers, the crooks who throw a fit of grave depression or complete collapse. the familiar “nervous breakdown” of the newspapers, when they find the game is up and they are about to be —er—admonished by the court or something. But the malefactors will be pleased to know that they are not the only neurotics in Class B, for! undeniably there are a number of “nervous” ones in Class B who de- ceive not only their friends and the world in general but also themselves; that is, they suffer from fear, worry. hordes of spoilsmen swarm in the new offices demanding preferment for their friends. Such services as the Securities Ad- ministration, Glass-Steagall banking Tegulation, commerce and agriculture are resisting the four-year locusts with scant success. The merit and spoils systems have come to a head- on collision. Recent declarations reveal Presi- dent Roosevelt’s desire to adhere to the traditions of Lincoln, Hayes, Cleveland, the first Roosevelt and other defenders of the merit sys- tem. He announces that in rehir- ing into emergency jobs those drop- ped from the federal service under economy, Civil Service: employes will be given preference. He is reported as favoring an ad- visory board to hear appeals of dis- missed Civil Service workers. He has instructed Postmaster General Far- ley to prepare legislation placing first, second and third class post- masters under Civil Service next year, but meanwhile letting the bars down to politicians. It is important for the morals and efficiency of the federal services that the president restrain the spoilsmen.

It re- quires more or less intimate knowl- edge of the patient, such as a good Physician gains in his confidential capacity, to discover in the subcon- ‘sciousness the source of the trouble. Even then, in many instances it re- quires courage on the physician’s part. to tell the patient the truth; such courage as the physician finds only in the knowledge that the patient is sufficiently enlightened in physiology or in the knowledge that the patient puts entire confidence in the physi- cian—a thing that is rare indeed among neurotic patients. ‘ The fundamental scientific basis of this view of neuroticism is given in a monograph is one of the Little Les- Postion.” If you want a copy send a dime (not stamps) and a stamped en- velope bearing your correct address.
