ADYICE TO FARMERS From Themselve: Burvey Among Shows They Should Produce More Stuff They Use Themselves., Washington, Dec. 7. — Farmers should produce more of their own | foodstuffs and buy less than must be brought to them by railroads, accord- ing to a survey of opinion among 25,000 farmers made public today by the department of agriculture. Near- 1y 30 per cent of ihe food consumed by farmérs and their family generally is not grown by them or their im- mediate vicinity whereas it was shown 79 per cent of their neéds couid be produced locally. High freight rates, it was explained, tend to reduce prices farmers receive for their products ana increase the cost to them of the things they buy| from outside localities | The smallest percentage of hqme production was foun! in New Eng- land and the highest 76.2 per cent in] Réntucky, Tennessee, Alabama and | Miesissippi.

Gef. in Annual Re- port, Comments“on Rum Running—Other Phas of Dept. of Justice Work. Washington, Dec. 7.—A new basie Jjudicial organization, to meet the augmented work which has resulted from “the ever-increasing complexity of government,” was suggestad by At- torney General Daugherty In hig an- nual report, made public here today, on the operations of the Department of Justice. Nothing that 60,723 erim- fnal cages were begun in the last | fiscal year, the report declared the polnt was being approached “where a revamping of the machinery used in this work is Inevitable." Adoption of so! method by which the government could retain attorneys who have special knowledge of BQV- ernment matters in additio to legal tralning was one of the several sug- | gestions advanced by Mr, Daugherty. 1 The recently enacted legislation pro- viding additienal judges should help the situation, he said, but, probably will not entirely remedy it. “The fallure of local self-govern- ment in parts of the country,” the re- port said, “results in the Insistenceé of the citizens of those communities that | the Federal government perform that function in which the local govern- ment has failed, and frequently in matters where there is concurrent Jurisdjction between the state an| is difficult to ablish a policy as to the extent to which the federal government should take jurisdiction. This is peculiarly true offenses arfsing under the fed- eral reserve act, the narcotic act, the Volstead Act, and the postal frauds act. There has been an effort on the part of this division during this fiscal year to have the United States at- tornéys and the state’ prosecuting at- torneys meet from time to time for the purpose of co-operation. Evi- dence of the benefits of these meetings is overwheélming. “The existing procedure for the re- moval of a defendant to the jurisdic- tion where the crimé was committed is unduly eumbersome and results in unjustified delay and injustice. Under such procedure the trial is frequently delayed from one to two years." Return of Seized Property Announcement was made in the re- port of the *‘desire of the department to return or to recommeng for return’ all property seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act in cases where the owners come within “the enabling section (Paragraph 9)" of the act. “The question in almost all of these cases,”” Mr. Daugherty reported, “is either of title or of citizenship. For instance, the Alien Property Custo- dian has seized and now holds the property of estates, which are quite| complicated; by reason of the rights of United States citizens, alleged to have been acquired subsequent to the war. Oftentimes the question becomes one of the validity of an assignment or the acquigition of title prior to the war, and in this connection it is ex- ceedingly difficylt at times to. dis- tinguish between the pre-war owner- ship of a claimant and a simpleclaim of indebtedness, and it is then neces- sary to have the question submitted to the courts. t "It has also been necessary to send [ n representatives of the department to Kurope to secure evidence from thos familiar with certain cases. This evi- dence was material in the considera- | tion and trial of these cases and in the determination of certain claims, so that a fair and impartial hearing could be given to litigants and claiim- ants. Tn fact, it was usually at the request of litigants and claimants that 8! t Loiir own nationals.” ership of the funds which have ac- cumulated from useé of patent rights. foreign governments was hinted at in been directed,” reported, “to investigations of several sentatives of foreign governments, re- sons under investigation. mended législation “making it a crime and, while such investigatiéns And the taking of such evidence served to ac- comodate claimants, it likewise pro- tected the government in the ad. ministration of the trusts created over these properties, “It may be expected that the future will see any number of interpretations by the courts of the provisions of sec- tion 9 and of the question as to whether the litigant is a propér party claimant under this section. The ques- tions of law arising are many, and while, in general, it may be said that the provisions of gection 9 do not con- fllct, it must be rocognized that there exist some exceedingly close questions a8 to whi of the provisions of sec- tion 9 control in certain cases. The greater majority of the precedents es- tablished by the courts during the past year have been favorable to the move- ment."” Railroad Injunction Cases The report made no comment on the railroad injunction ease and mere- ly noted the, legal situation arising out of l'lfinrt‘t‘ml*nt of thé prohibition statutes’outside the continental limits of the United States. “Since the 18th amendment of the Constitution and Title Two of the Na- tional Prohibition Act became effec- tive,” it said, “rum-running vessels of American and foreign registry, carrying llquor from foreign ports to our shores, have swarmed along our seaboards, smuggling liquors into the United States in violation of our laws. “Eighteen vessels of foreign regis- try and 11 of Ameérican registry with their cargoes of liquor havé heen seiz- ed. No American-owned vessel can transport beverage liquors. Foreign registered vessels can, hot transport beverage liquors within American ter- ritorial waters. Of the 18 foreign registered vessel seized, 10 were found transporting and smuggling liquors within the 3-mile limit of our shores. The remaining 8 foreign vessels seiz- ed were hovering off our shores be- yond the 3-mile limit, but within the 4-league zone of our shore line and unlading their cargoes to other boats to be brought ashore in violation of our statutes known as the hovering acts, “The covering stautes (Rev. Stat. 2867 and others) provide that no ves- sel bound to our ports shall unload merchandise within 4 leagues of our shores, unles hy a permit, without in- curi a penalty against the captain, to satisfy which the vessel may be subjected to forfeiture. “Foreign governments protest seiz- ures of their vessels thus violating eur revenue laws and smuggling liquors to our shores, because international law does not recognize our hovering acts as valid outside the 3-mile limit except as they may be applicable to The Attorney General then called attention to the litigation over seiz- ure on which the courts have ruled, or which now are pending, Patents Litigation Only general reference also was made to,litigation involving patents seized by the Alien Property Cus. todian, such ag the Bosch Magneto and Chemical Foundation suits. “A number of suits have been filed,” the report said, ‘“to determin title to these patents and to decide the own- Post-war espionage by unnamed he report submitted by the depart- ment's bureau of investigations. “The attention of the mureau has| Director W.
