Showing the Way Despite failure to enforce the un- popular Volstead Act, the federal government in the last few days has demonstrated what can be done in the conviction of kidnapers. Public opinion failed to sustain the hands of the government in its enforce- ment of the dry laws but its cooper- ation with federal operatives in checking kidnaping has been vigor- ous and effective. But why have state and local po- lice agencies failed where the fed- eral government has been so suc- cessful? ‘There is of course one great dif- ference between the administration of federal and municipal or state criminal law. Most students of criminology know the answer. In the strictly local administration of police powers, politics has a most paralyzing effect. There is, in too many communities, an understand- ing modus operandi between the racketeer and crooked politics, or both of its rivals are at fault. Each is afraid that one of the others may lew an advantage and then start a | war. Tf it weren't so expensive and so «.$7.20 | dangerous, it would be good for a fine laugh. Borrowing to Pay ‘That delightful air of utter unreal- ity which hangs over most of the war debt discussions seems to be invest- ing the latest phase of it—the re- newed effort to get a settlement of the British-American debt. One of the suggestions, for instance, is that the debt be settled by pay- ment of » lump sum equal to about @ tenth of the capital value—some- thing like $360,000,000. But it is added ment. States would be paid. One might inquire, playfully, if such a bond issue would get by un- der the new federal blue sky law; or one might ask just what the sense is in this business of borrowing money from the left-hand pocket to repay a loan made from the right-hand poc- ket, Either way, it looks sort of un- real. We're Still Helpless Figures on automobile accidents for 1933 are, as usual, pretty discourag- ing. To be sure, deaths -in traffic during the first nine months of the year are nearly 4 per cent below the total for last year. But the number of fatalities per accident has gone up by 7 per cent, and the number of per- sons non-fatally injured per accident. has gone up 2% per cent. Reduction in the total number of deaths can be attributed to the fact that fewer people have been driving cars this year than last—the regis- trations for the first half year were 5 per cent below the 1932 figures. The ‘That is the reason largely that cities and states have failed in cop- ing with the racketeer while Uncle Sam succeeds. The federal secret service and other agents of the na- tional government cannot be reached 80 easily through political pull and manipulation as the city and state police force is influenced. ‘There is, too, in the federal scheme, the advantage of teamwork, conti- nuity of action and a network of op- eratives working in harmony which @ multitude of state and local units| Jack. Criminals have been quick to take fact that the accidents themselves are getting deadlier only can mean that we are driving more dangerously, more carelessly, more selfishly, than before. The situation, as a matter of fact, is a national scandal, and so far we have shown no sign that we know how to do anything about it.

EXPECTANT TREATMENT OF APPENDICITIS Up to the time I had it myself I aiways believed in and practiced ex- pectant management of acute appen- dicitis, That is, I thought it wise to wait 48 hours, and consider an opera- tion then if the attack seemed to war- rant it. But I thought my doctors water, or perhaps a poultice, for re- ilef of pain), fluids only and four hourly temperature chart. I don’t know—maybe we'll have to send a delegation of American sur- geons over to settle the controversy. appendicitis, ' banking and speculation abuses is going to be killed off.

In too many instances, Police agents treat with criminals. If the gangster leaves their commu- nity alone, he often has @ haven there. Rivalry between communities and too frequent animosity slows up the process of detection and appre- hension. These factors are not so present in the federal police scheme. The convictions in Oklahoma and Illinois of kidnapers should spur the cities to renewed action in overhaul- ing their expensive police depart- ments to ascertain why they have failed so signally in coping with this kind of racket. Uncle Sam has certainly shown what can be done when the strong ‘arm of the law performs its duty without fear or favor. In the Name of Defense ‘Whatever else you may say about naval armament races, you can't deny that they at least have a whim- sical illogicality which, if it were not Potentially so dangerous, would be nothing less than delightful. A brief survey of the situation as it affects the United States, Japan and Great Britain will show what we mean, The United States government takes some $238,000,000 to bring its fleet up to treaty strength. It does this, as everyone knows, because heretofore no effort has been made to attain treaty strength. The coun- try has voluntarily maintained a smaller navy than it is entitled to. Consequently, as any Anierican na- val expert will tell you, the American fleet has suffered by comparison with those of Great Britain and Japan. Shipyards in those countries have not been idle. Their naval strength has not been permitted to lag. However, the United States no sooner begins to spend money on its navy than the authorities of Eng- land and Japan wake up and an- nounce that times are getting par- Jous. English naval authorities an- nounce that their cruiser strength hopelessly below par as soon American Drogram 1s com- eelf-defense more ships. cook t rf d i eResety ili li ati ft : H d i few months ago. This attitude is a familiar one, but. one would have thought that the events of the last few years would have made even the die-hards see the absurdity of it, Trouble isn’t caused by those sensational disclosures; it 4s caused by the abuses which lie be- neath the disclosures, and we can't get back to full health until these abuses have been given the bright light of publicity in which we can correct them and prevent them from happening again.

Labor and Inflation (New York Times) The remarks of President Green and their reception by the American Fed- eration of Labor are a significant ex- Pression of opinion on the question of currency manipulation. Unless he and his colleagues can be assured that wages paid in cheaper dollars would keep pace with higher prices and ris- ing costs of living, Mr. Green as- serted his belief that “labor stand unflinchingly against inflation.” ‘When the worker earns a dollar he wants to be sure that that @ real dollar and that it represent to him a re- in buying power. uch @ reduction has traditionally the fate of labor under a regime currency depreciation. in Germany offers a case It is not necessary to con- disorderly period when the sider mark about ue z BE bee H E & = g E 4 iegee aH f QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
