A na- tion that looked on its crime record ‘with more or less complacency for a Jong time seems at last to be deter-/ mined to do something about it. | ‘The program suggested by Mr./ ‘Cummings probably will meet a sym- Pathetic reception, But it is worth remembering that such a program, in itself, isn't nearly enough. ‘We need to broaden our powers to catch criminals, surely; but we need} also—and we need it very badly—to do something effective about the problem of handling them after we have caught them, ‘The best crime detection service in the world can be no stronger, in the | Jast analysis, than the criminal court into which it feeds its product. And it would take a very Great | optimist to say that our criminal courts today are anywhere nearly as effective as they ought to be. ‘The American criminal court is cursed by many things; by archaic rules of procedure, which give the| criminal all the breaks; by politically minded judges, who periodically must run for reelection; by a jury system which too frequently keeps off the panel any man who is aware even moderately of what is going on in the world about him; by a vast horde of unscrupulous attorneys who will stop at nothing to get their clients} off, and whose only question, when a case is offered them, is, “How much is there in it?” a If we had the best federal and municipal police systems on earth, we still would come up against this criminal court barrier. ‘We still would find smart lawyers} interposing delay after delay between frrest and trial, until the case against the criminal collapsed of its own weight. We still would find judges granting continuance after con- tinuance to defendants who “had| an in.” ‘We still would find the machinery | of paroles and suspended sentences) being perverted by politicians against the public good. We still would find Juries being fixed, witnesses being tampered with, and legal technical- ities being used to block the course of justice. Before we can make real headway fn our war on crime, we must over- haul our criminal court system—and the overhauling must be pretty dras- tic, Essential Practice Again the United States fleet in- fiulges in war games. Some 90 war- ships and 300 airplanes enter com- plicated and difficult maneuvers off the lower California coast, and stories @bout the “attacking force” and “de- fending force” get into the papers nce more. ‘We landsmen, who hardly see a (warship from one year’s end to an- other, seldom pay much attention to these maneuvers—except that we gay, in our ignorance, wonder occa- Bionally if they really are necessary. And it is not a bad thing for us to remember that these war games fe just about the most important of the navy’s many peace-time func- tions, They are to a fighting fleet what would stand little chance of winning its games; a navy that ignored its war games would not be likely to have'mych luck in actual war. Keeping Congress Clean ee Bash G rneeing ce ‘et- forts which he has ments against it. Many members of congress remain active in law firms which draw rich fees and retainers from large cor- porations. Now, while a congress- man’s salary of $8,500 a year is not a princely sum, it is at least enough to provide a very comfortable living, and @ man wHo wants to be a con- gressman ought to be prepared to, make it do, There may not, in many cases, be anything wrong with a lawyer-con- gressman taking fees from outside interests; but it's a good thing for a 00 public servant to avoid even the ap- pearance of evil. War Business Rises! Strange, how the rumors of coming war can be felt in far-off places and in the most peaceful of pursuits! Steamship traffic through the |Panama canal is heavy, these days— |and the imminence of war is largely responsible. During the first three weeks of February, for instance, 12 steamers passed through the canal bound for Europe with Chilean nitrates—nit- rates, from which high explosives are made, At the same time, many ships are going through the canal in the other direction, bound from the east coast of the United States for Japan with scrap iron, lead, and cotton—com- modities which also are destined to be transformed into the munitions of war. Rusty steamers, deeply laden, busy | on the most peaceful of errands ... but grimly foreshadowing the fear of war which grips the world! Misplaced Talent A 16-year-old schoolboy in Saskat- chewan recently was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment because he had spent his spare time forging $5 bills. Using @ box of school paints, a home-made die and some bits of linen paper, this youngster turned out imitation bank notes which astounded the Saskatchewan author- ities by their close resemblance to the real thing. and it is good to note that the judge who sentenced him said that a parole would be recommended if a training school could be persuaded ito make a place for him. A 16-year-old who can use such crude tools to turn out such excel- lent work—excellent, of course, from a purely technical standpoint—must have a lot of genuine talent in him somewhere. Given the right kind of handling, such @ lad ought to become a most serviceable member of society. It would be tragic if such exceptional ability were permitted to become per- verted permanently. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. ‘They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, Jigsaw Puzzle (New York Sun) Great Britain and the Soviets have Signed a trade agreemeyt which it is optimistically declared “puts their commercial relations again on a nor- mal footing.” A “friendly atmos- phere” enveloped the statesmen who signed the document, just as a friend- ly atmosphere surrounded the presi- dent and M. Litvinoff when the United States recognized the Soviets and “normal” relations were estab- lished between this country and the ‘Soviets. Exactly how “normal” these relations are may be judged from the fact that the administration has ob- tained a charter for a bank to finance Soviet buying here, Perhaps in its normality the footing of Great Bri- tain and the Soviets will resemble the unprecedented normality of United States-Soviet dealings. The unofficial summary of the British-Soviet agreement says it pro- vides that Soviet exports to Great Britain are not entitled to empire Preferences, and that the most favor- ed nation treatment will apply to all British colonies and mandated terri- tories, but not to British Dominions and their mandated territories, If Newfoundland has anything to ex- port to Russia, this is a particular interest at St. John’s, for as the signing of the trade agreement was in progress at London Newfoundland ‘was in process of reduction from the status of a self-governing Dominion to one corresponding to that of a colony to be ruled by a commission to be appointed by the crown, As a colony Newfoundland will enjoy most favored nation treatment from the Soviets, which it would not as a ‘Dominion.

BREATHE WITH YOUR BELLY AND LIVE limited chest expansion, perhaps 1% inches. Individuals who have a chest expansion of more than 2 inches have learned by practice to contract the Pectoral and shoulder girdle muscles to achieve the freak effect. They have no greater vital capacity, that is, total air capacity of the lungs, than have other individuals who have never Practiced this quaint stunt. Chestiness, a tradition of old time trainers and nineteenth century sol- diers, has gone out of fashion along with the notion that athletes required More meat than ordinary folk and the notion that strength, agility or en- durance can be rubbed in. Physicians have discarded the tape measure in the examination of the |chest, and nowadays the doctor mea- {sures the chest expansion only when |filling out an examination blank for some shoddy insurance company or a civil service rite. The insignificant enlargement of the capacity of the upper half of the rib cage with inspiration is due to the elevation of the sides of the cage or flanks somewhat in the manner of a bird flapping his wings. But this aspect of breathing, heretofore great- ly overemphasized, 1s only incidental to the main aspect of breathing, which is the action of the diaphragm. The working of the diaphragm is shown by the expansion of the belly. If you give any attention to your breathing, your circulation, your physical fitness, you should watch your belly and nev- er mind your chest. (If this should come under the eye of Aunt Mehitabel let me assure her there is no other word for it.) The right way to breathe, for good health, good looks and efficiency, is the natural way. That is belly breath- ing. We are not talking about “deep breathing.” People who stress that are generally ignorant of the physi- ology of breathing. So are people who talk about “diaphragmatic breathings.” ‘The purpose of conscious breathing exercise is not to get more oxygen in- to your blood, for you can’t do that by breathing alone. The main pur- pose of belly breathing is to boost your circulation. Some general suggestions. Never think of your breathing except at the time you do your belly breathing exercise. Observe a sleeping person breathing. That’s belly breath- ing. Each night when you get to bed Me supine, knees flexed, one hand resting on belly. Thru open mouth draw a slow, full even breath and notice how the hand rises as the bellows expands. No straining. Hold the breath a mo- ment, then let the bellows deflate passively, like an inflated rubber bag, and notice how the sinks. Repeat this from six dozen times at the Pe ent to a markable tranquilizing effect. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Banana ‘What vitamins and minerals are contained in the banana? (Mrs, E. P. G.) Answer—Fresh ripe banana is an excellent source of Vitamins A, B, C, and a fair source of Vitamin G. Ba- nana contains little or no Vitamin D. Some investigators have detected traces of Vitamin E in banana. Ba- nana is only a fair source of mineral food—sulphates, chlorides and phos- phates of potassium, sodium, magne- sium, calcium and iron. Still, ripe banana is a fine food, especially for sickly, puny, costive, undernourished infants and for older children who suffer from constipation, and for adults with colitis. Remember, I am speaking only of raw, well ripen- ed banana.
