The feature of tine hearing yesterday

snytnsIs Despicable.

To the Editor of the Globe.
l have been surprised. in reading
your comments on the case of the mail
carrier charged with attempting to de-
fraud the government by the use of can
ceed postage stamps, to see that you
consider that an employe discovering
an attempted fraud OH his employer by
fellow employe Is doing wrong when
he calls the attention OF his superiOrs to
the matter. The amount involved cuts
no figure in a question of right and
wrong. AS we all know. detaulters
very rarely begin with large operations,
but accustom them selves Ivy degrees to
lose sight of the distinction between
their own funds and those of their en-
pIGyers. | do not see that the govern
ment being the employer in this case
makes any difference. Very truly
yours. s. X. DE GRAW.
