Unfortunately, many’ do not look ahead at all, or if they do they fail to heed the warnings plentifully supplied by the experiences of others. This is especially true of those who decide to embark upon a life of crime. | Laying aside all moral considerations, and estimating the rewards of a criminal solely in terms of money, health and com-| fort, it seems strange that any should try | to beat such a desperate game. Yet thou- sands try it and fail. they are ever adequately punished by law or not. The daily fear of detection and punishment is often worse than punish- ment itself. For this reason, many crim- inals give themselves up when they can no longer stand the strain.

Should the Comptroller-General, the “watchdog” over Federal expendi- tures, be replaced by an Auditor-Gen- eral, responsible to the Chief Execu- tive? Should agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission, forming executive, legislative, and judicial functions, be deprived of their independent status and be placed under executive domination by transfer to a regular executive de- partment?
