Third House Idea to Be Pushed. - ny of the governors here are faegg %f closer gco-opel’awln between the States on all common ‘problems. Several of the State officials who are heads of important depadtments are meeting annually, and this movement, too, is getting more encouragement every year. The State of Connecticut is really host to the visiting governors this time, inasmuch as Gov. Trumbull was able to get an appropriation from the Legislature paying all the expenses of the governors after theit arrival here. Not all the States appropriated money for attendance of the governors, and several of them paid their own wav here. The conference of governors nas a permanent secretary, former Go Hardee of Florida, and many of the States contribute annual dues for the organization, Past confereaces have afforded & forum for debate and dis- cussion of current questions, and this year's conference will carry forward that objective, developing still further the original idea of a third house of ngress. cERe (Copyright, 1929) SPEAKER URGES WAR PREPAREDNESS HERE Dr. Bolivar J. Lloyd Favirs Dis- armament in U. S. Only if All Nations Comply. Dr. Bolivar J. Lloyd of the Public Health Service, past president of the Washington Chapter, National 8o- journers, speaking last night over radio station WJSV, Mount Vernon Hills, on problems affecting the life of the Nation, said that he favored disarma- ment provided other nations would dis- arm, but added that no pacifist could offer evidence that disarmament would keep us out of war if other nations continued to arm. His own sons will take military train- ing, he said, although none of them aspires to a military or naval career. If they are called on to defend their country, he said, he wants the Nation 1o “give them proper support and equip- ment at the beginning of the war and not when it is half over.” B The span of human life has been in- creased by 15 years in the last half century, Dr. Lloyd said, but much re- mains to be done, particularly in pre- venting insanity, feeble, mindedness, the ravages of social diseases and drug addiction. Asserting that sometimes he wondered if the prohibition laws were not drastic, he said, that good citizens nevertheless have no choice, but to obey the law, Conditions under pro- hibition, which he described as admit- tedly Wsmc(olx’. are “infinitely bet- ter than in the old days of the saloon,” he declared.

Legal Blocks Are Discussed. ‘The fact that that city has a larger police force in proportion to its popula- tion than any other city has much to | do with the favorable conditions men fthe greater number of prosecutions | which never came to trial, the number | of cases settled by pleas of guilty to e | lesser offense than charged, the great delay in bringing cases to tral, the greater delays in hearing appeals, and | the abuse of excessive bail on appeal. | “Justice to be effective should be speedy. It is freely charged that much of the delay is the result of political | influence with the police, the prosecu- | tors and even the courts. ‘Ihese are | difficult matters to investigatc. | “But if every arrest had to be imme- | diately recorded in a central registra- tion office and every step thereafter taken concerning the defendant record- ed in the same way it would be much more difficult for a proper influence to | thwart the due administration of jus- tice. “Of course, prohibition enforcement, being one of the most serious subjects, will be investigated by our commission. “The amendment confers upon the States concurrent jurisdiction with the National Government for the enforce- ment of this measure. Thus far the Federal Government alone has borne {the brunt of the enforcement. That measure is written into the Constitution of the United States. It seems to me that the governors' conference might well consider approaching the Federal Government on some feasible proposal to share the burden of enforcement. Federal “Duties” Outlined. “If the National Government were to attend to preventing importation, manufacture and shipment in interstate commerce of intoxicants, the States undertaking internal police regulations to prevent sale, salocns, speakeasies and so forth, the national end State laws might be modifled so as to become reasonably enforcible and one great source of demoralizing and pecuniarily profitable crime removed.” Gov. Roosevelt, speakmmg on “Co- operation of Governors on Crime Prob- lems,” urged the conference to appoint a permanent committee that would act as a “clearing house” for crime statistics and penel laws so that one governor would always know what an- other governor's State was doing toward reducing crime. “Know Nothing of Crime.” “There is no crime wave,” he said. “That’s a startling statement to make in face of all the talk that there is. And 1 say it oecause I realize that there is no one here or anywhere else who has facts and figures to prove there is & crime problem. Before we can do anything with a problem we must know all about it and we know nothing about crime in our country because we have no figures or facts. This lack is the stumbling block in crime investigation and crime reduction.” Mr. Roosevelt warned the governors against allowing the Federal Govern- system of compiling facts about crime , | tioned, but the challenging fact is in | S | Gov. Gardner said that crime attribut=| ment to encroach on State rights and H ey - eral Government “is getting away with it” is that public opinion is “terribly | | | said one of the chief reasons the Fed- | government. | B]’ | Gov.

Each State Should Get Facts. Gov. Roosevelt said that each State | should have, as a matter of law, a toward the end that the problem may | be_dealt with in_the “proper manner.” The permanent governors' committee which he suggested would use State statistics as a basis for a national sur- vey and would recommend at a future | conference legislation to be proposed in | each State. . “It is cowardly for the States to leave | such an important matter as this to the Federal Government,” he said. ‘Each State must make its own study | and work out its own salvation. The Federal Government will encroach on this right, only if it i permitted.” Gov. John H. Trumbull of Connecti- cut, the host, welcomed the governors, | and Gov. Henry S. Caulfield of Missouri | replied. Following Gov. Roosevelt on the pro- | gram was Gov. William Tudor Gardiner | of Maine, on “Employment of Prison- | and Gov. O. Max Cardner of | Notth ~Carolina on “Youthful Crim- | inals. Gardner Stresses Crime Cost. | Max Gardner said criminality of the country's biggest and | most profitable business and is re- | sponsible for the largest single item in the cost of government. Speaking on *Youthful Criminals,” Go able to youthful offenders has shown an alarming increase in recent years| and connected with the rapid decay of family life. The children themselves, he said, are not to blame for this con- | dition. Despite the tendency on the part of older people to criticize the younger generation, Gov. Gardner said, he is of the opinion that the young people 'of today, generally speaking, are as fine in every sense of the word as any gen- eration that has preceded them. Far reaching changes in the past few years, including the rise of the public school, he said, has more and more caused parents to abdicate their author- | ity over their children. “Adoption of Laws No Solution.” He said the schools, which have control over the children only a few hours each day, have struggled in vain “to do the impossible that is expected of them and education itself, especially in its moral and spiritual aspects, has been demoralized between parents who will not do their duty and schools that cannot.” He asserted the problem of youthful criminality cannot be solved by the adoption of laws. “The tendency of American reformers is almost never to teach, to educate public opinion and gradually to con- vince the citizenry of the value of the reform,” he continued, “but it is to secure the passage of prohibition legis« lation and then leave it to the govern- ment, State and Federal, to carry out the reformers’ ideas. Now this tend- ency not only is illogical, failing as it | does to take account of the impossi- bility either of changing human na- ture by legislation or of enforcing laws which are not supported by conscience of the community, but it is mischevious in the highest degree because it un- dermines respect for law in general."” Aviation to Be Discussed. ‘The session on taxation and aviation will be held tomorrow, and the closing session oh Thursday will be devoted to FOR SALE OR LEASE Garage at 141 12th St. N.E.

Ritchie of Maryland will preside tomorrow, and Solution of the American crime prob- lem lics in the capture and punishment | of more criminals, Gov. Dern declared at_the opening of the conference. The idea of more severe punishment being effective to curb crime was “drivel and nonsense,” he said, because so few offenders were ever apprehended. “If more were captured we could talk of punishment and more punishment,” he said, “but until then we had better find a way of getting them.” Only One Out of 30 Convicted. He declared that only 1 out of every 30 criminals is ever convicted, and the type who is caught easily and convicted is the “feeble-minded and so-called cheap crook .’ Big crooks get away,” he continued. ‘They get away because civilization has speeded our progress to such an extent that jumping from one jurisdiction to enother is an easy matter, and there is no American Scotland Yard to jump jurisdictions with big criminals.” Seventeen guns, fired from the U. 8. 8. Camden, fiagship of the Control and ubmarine Force, signalized the ‘“‘com- ing of age” of the governors' confer- ence last night. The guns, fired in salute to the States’ chief executives as they drifted ih one by one to attend the conference, were in reality, as Gov. Trumbull said, “in honor of the twenty-first birthday of the conference.” Program Is Delaye® Tardiness. All yesterday, two reception commit- tees waited for the governors, but it was not until nightfall that they began to arrive. An informal dinner was delayed to await the arrival of other governors, and, as a result, an informal reception and a cruise on Long Island Sound were held later than scheduled. ‘The salute, which Admiral F. B. Up- ham, commander of the Control and Submarine Force, ordered fired will be acknowledge officially Thursday, when, after the closing business session, Gov. Trumbull will take his guests to the submarine base, across the Thames from Eastern Point. and pay an official visit to the admiral. Gov. F. B. Balzar of Nevada could not attend the conference, while Lieut. Gov. C. S. Storms of Oklahoma arrived last night as the representative of Gov. W. J. Holloway. WICKERSHAM IS SILENT.
