American as having said a few years ago that
"our administration of the criminal law is dis

the indictment drawn by Senator Borah is not

Two remedies appear upon the surface. The
one is sweeping reform in the criminal pro-

legal delays may not void the operation of the
law and the infection OF penalties The other
is that representative men Of wealth and in

the fact that the law seems unable TO
