Miss Cashel gave The Tribune the text of an address she delivered before the state social workers conference in Mandan, Oct. 4. It is still timely and pertinent. It follows.) By MISS MARY CASHEL “Is juvenile delinquency increas~ ing? That is the most important ques- tion before the American public to- day. Best evidence indicates that it is —and the following reports will tes- tify to that fact. The department of justice, covering the whole field of juvenile crime, reports an increase of 15 per cent over the 1936 record. ‘Minors make up 30.5 per cent of all those convicted of criminal charges. The average age of the offender is 19. “In‘a recent survey sponsored by the Federation ‘National of Womens clubs the findings show that 20 per cent of jour crime ‘is committed by: less than voting age, meaning that crime in; our country includes more 4{than 700,000 boys and girls who, at branded ithe very threshold of life, are as criminal. Delinquency Increasing “Statistics from the Childrens bu- reau in Washington show a steady in- creasg in juvenile delinquency over the 1935 report. In a comparatively recent address by Katherine Lenroot, director of the bureau, we are told that upwards of 200,000 children pass through the juvenile courts of our country every year, and in addition there is a much larger number of cases which the court handles unof- ficially, cases which social workers from the court adjust without court procedure, “After reviewing those figures is it any wonder that our country has be- ‘come alarmed over the rapidly in- creasing number of delinquents ing the reason why. “Then throw this picture on the {screen—The delinquents enumerated above are children who have been born in this country since the close of the World war; that the parents of those children are the product of our modern educational system, and that many of them have had training be- yond the common school, and that many too, hold college or university diplomas and have enjoyed oppor- tunities for culture beyond that af- forded their own parents. Couple with that the fact that we enjoy a higher standard of living than our forbears, and that the tenor of life in general then should we not parent-group im- ot pemestar ee — Feehan Sees Tolerance as Key to Good Will Among Men in Address Here Nations of the world still distrust one another and the picture of peace is not encouraging declared Rev..Ro- bert Feehan, pastor of St. Mary's procathedral, in Bismarck’s prin- cipal Armistice day address. Before an audience of former serv- ice men and others gathered in the city auditorium after the annual)’ parade, Father Feehan declared the nations of the world are glorifying themselves and ignoring their neigh- bors, “striving for the nature of the superman, crushing everything and everyone, obstructing the proud march to power. “Economic rivalry is at the bottom of it all,” Father Feehan emphasized, “and has made nations stoop to du- plicity and trickery. “Is it possible that the world is going back to barbarism—the law of the jungle, that is kill or be killed? ‘These may be the roots from which war is growing.” ‘What folly was is was emphasized by Father Feehan in recalling the tremendous financial burden the world now is because of the last time it forgot the teachings of the Prince of Peace.

As in other years, the program calied for President Roosevelt to place a wreath at 11 a, m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the symbolic tomb on the heights above the Potomac river. In the chapel behind the tomb lay the medals which a grateful nation and its allies in the World War be- stowed on the unknown hero. There are Great Britain's Victoria Cross “for valour” and France’s Croix de Guerre for “Le Soldat Inconnu.” There were services and wreaths also at the tomb of Woodrow Wilson, the wartime president who lies buried in the National cathedral at Wash- ington. American war mothers and the nurses who ministered to the wounded also were not forgotten. All veterans groups, in Washington and throughout the country, joined in observing the anniversary. The American Legion was in charge of services at Arlington. National Commander Daniel J. Doherty was the principal speaker. At New York, General John J. Pershing came home from a memorial Journey to the European battlefields where he led American soldiers in 1917-18. A 19-gun salute acclaiming his return was in contrast with the interval of silence ordered in memory of those who never came back. The American Red Cross chose the to begin its annual membership campaign. President Roosevelt, the first to join, asked the people to re- program of budget-balancing re- trenchment to meet the drop in busi- ness activity. Pump priming—big outpourings of federal money such as were used against the depression—was out so far as he was concerned, said Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau in a speech here Wednesday night, He advocated matching income and outgo by cutting nearly $700,000,000 from next year’s expenditures, mainly in the fields of highways, relief, pub- le works and agricultural aid, and not by raising taxes. In no event, he added, would the administration ‘allow anyone to starve,” nor would it drop any of its broad policies, He spoke before the academy of political science, and a small section of his dinner-jacketed audience was openly and vocally hostile, The audi- ence gave two standing ovations to Senator Byrd, (Dem., Va.), who, shar- ing the same platform, denounced the Washington “bureaucracy” as “the most costly and wasteful in the his- tory of the United States of America,” Predicts Bigger Deficit The senator said, too, that he put no faith in prophecies that “a bal- anced budget is on the way.” “On the contrary,” he added, “I ict that on July 1, 1938, the esti- mated deficit of $895,000,000 will be at least twice that sum.” The Wall Street effect of the Mor- genthau speech was expected to be de- layed because Thursday is a market holiday. * Morgenthau departed momentarily from his speech because of scattered jeering noises which arose in the au- dience when he remarked that at no time during the depression had the treasury had difficulty in borrowing whatever money was needed. “Ho, ho!” shouted a man in the au- dience. A “You try it,” the secretary answered without heat, and there was applause. Morgenthau said an unbalanced budget had been a deliberate federal policy to “meet a great emergency” during the depression years, and he added that while of late business in- dices were showing “a declining ten- Gency,” the worst emergency was over, Referring indirectly to attacks on such taxes as the undivided profits levy, he said in slow tones of reassur- ance: “We want to adjust inequali- ties and remedy defects in the tax laws. If we find the operation of any particular tax is unfair, we stand ready to say so publicly.” LaFOLLETTE CALLS FOR INCREASED SPENDING Washington, Nov. 11.—(7)—The ad- ministration, pledged anew by Secre- tary Morgenhau to a program of cur- tailed expenditures to balance the budget, ran squarely Thursday into a congressional demand for increased spending. Senator LaFollette (Prog., Wis.), a spokesman for the self-styled con- gressional liberal bloc and @ supporter of President Roosevelt, declared that additional spending was needed to “stem the downward spiral” in busi- ness. He advocated increased taxes to finance it. Specifically, LaFollette recommend- ed an increase in WPA expenditures to provide a job for every employable man, o_O | Man Says Woman | Got His Pet Goat McClusky, N.
