Such a method is like a flash in the pan. .The results ‘would be only temporary. The improve- ment we seek must be gained by steady, earnest, and persistent effort over weeks, months, and even years, so that the im- provement may be fundamental and lasting. s | ‘This has been said before, but: to avold misunderstanding it will - bear repetition. One other general obser- vation may be made. Detection and punishment of crime must be effected {by strictly lawful methods, Nothing |has a greater tendency to beget law- |lessness than lawless methods of law -m:ore‘exa:nt.m;xhe greater the difficul- o tecting and punishing crime, the greater the temptation to place a | strained construction on statutes to |supply what may be thought to be more efficient means of enforcing law. The statutory and constitutional rights of all persons must be regarded, and their violation, inadvertent or other- wise, is to be avoided. State Powers Cited. Now how are we'fo go about this task for more efficient organization and what tools have we to work with, and what can we accomplish in the near future? Under our dual system of government, a large share of power and.duty to ‘g:went and punish- crims rests with States. The Federal Government has a limited fleld to work in, and you are told that the Depart- ment of Justice of the United States, working in that fleld, has charge of the enforcement of Federal law, Here lln ;Vns?gmnm:re uw‘depanment'n neadquarters, those of us here are the staff officers. ‘With minor exceptions, the men who detect crimes, who obtain evidence of crimes, who cause criminals to be in- dicted, tried and punished, are the men |in the field. In each State are United States attorneys and their assistants. | They are the men on the- firing line. We in Washington may plan and organ- ize, but they are actually the men . be. | hind the guns, and it is of vital impor- |tance that they shall be competent, earnest and efficient, and that shall be supplied with all that they rea- sonably require to properly perform their dutfes, With these things in mind, we now are reviewing the field organization of the department with the purpose of im- proving the personnel and weeding out inefficiency and ineffectiveness, and we shall direct our efforts, without ceasing. to bring about the selection and reten- tion of proper men for these posts. We are also reviewing the conditions throughout the country to ascertain where and to what extent the forces avallable to the United States attorneys to assist them in their work are inade- quate, with a view to provi an in- crease in the personnel wherever it may be necessary. Method of . Procedure Outlined. ‘The district attorneys and their hs- sistants institute prosecutions and try {In the detection of crime and the covery of evidence. There are a number of agencies of the Federal Government engaged in the detection of offenses against Federal statutes. Customs officers operating under the Treasury Department detect crimes against the customs laws; postal in- spectors under the Post Office Depart- ment obtain evidence of offenses against the postal laws; another force under the Treasury is de. dis- ganization deals with offenses against the currency, such as counterfeiting; the prohibition unit in the Department is engaged, things, in detecting offenses aga! national prohibition act and presenting evidence thereof to the United States attorneys, In the Department of Justice we now have what is called the Bureau of In- vestigation, with agents throughou United States who investigate viola- tions of a very large number of Fed- eral statutes, not including prohibition, narcotics and customs.

Senator Capper spoke as follows: Despite assertions that this is the richest_nation in the world, we have lit- tle to boast of so long as we stand out as the most lawless nation the world has ever known, with a crime bill of $10,~ 000,000,000 annually. ‘We_ have evidence of s growing thought among the people in recent years that any law a man dislikes he may disregard with impunity. - They forget that if a man can disobey. a law because he does not like it, then any other man has the right to disobey the same law, or any other law for the same reason, and the end of the whole matter is anarchy.
