UITE apart from other questions involved, the disclosure of} specific instances of promiscuous tapping of private tele- "a phone wires in this city has started in the mind of the tete-| ‘phone-using public doubt and misgiving which ought to be promptly} allayed. | In the interests of justice and the detection of crime the Police} Department must no doubt arrange for @ certain amount of “listen-| ing in” on private telephone wires by department officials or! detectives. | But how many persons in the Police Department lave unre-, stricted power to tap telephone wires? How is authorization for the use of euch methods obtained ? | How far is it possible for persons provided with necessary instru- menis to tap ANY telephone wire without the sanction of either the} police authorities or the telephone companies? | These are the questions that naturally arise in the mind of the) ordinary telephone subscriber, who ought to be protected from the risk of having his private business intercepted by listeners whose pur-, poses may little resemble those of justice. Too much a Ll of this sort could hardly fail to become a dangerous instrument in the hands of detectives and police. ‘The situation calls for a plain statement from the Police Com- Mitsioner and from the New York Telephone Company showing exactly what restrictions are placed upon telephone tapping and what guarantees the innocent telephone subscriber ‘has against unwar- ranted eavesdropping. The public is entitled to such reassurance. Ti should be forth- coming at once. ++ -—___—_—_ PROTECTED IS PREPARED. UDGE GARY thinks the country would “pay liberally flor peace” rather than fight even defensively. He sets no limit on the price, but would no doubt advise driving as close a bar- gain as possible. We gather, however, from other things the Judge told the mem- bers of the American Steel and Iron Institute that unless the nation is careful it will overlook the only kind of preparedness that ever really mattered: “After the war {s over the contending nations will be im- poverished and in great need of busines# and money. They will produce as much as possible and their facilities are gen- ‘ erally unimpaired. They will cell wherever they can find a pnd market and at low prices if secessary, including this country if we are not protected against them; and we cannot sell in us.
