ma:6et. to be sure, and yet that ad.
7antage was counteracted by the
criprling effect of the war on the cot
Ton il dnstTy. Our enormous favorable
balance of trade has been due more
than anything else to the fact that
we were unable to obtain our usual
quantities of imports, and that lack in
itself has seriously hampeled many of
our industries.
Il may fairly be said that our bust.
ness recovery thus far has been less
on account of the war than in spite
of the war. Oar great crops, together
with the need of replenishing manu-
featured supplies Of all kinds after a
long period of slack production, and
the encouraging understanding and
cordiality arrived at between business
and government, all seemed to create
the groundwork of a new period of
development such as no merely politi-
cal events could altogether destroy.
The outburst of war nipped in the bud
what appeared to be a genuine bus
mess revival. Now the revival is
coming again, with a prospect of
growth which the war will help in
some respects and hinder in others.
Our manufacturing exports are now
stead iy increasing and unless inter
rupted are likely to be much bigger
factor in foreign trade history during
the next few months. But however
much stuff we may sell to Europe for
military purposes, we wish that Eu-
rope would understand that we'd be
better off in business way If the
war would stop, and that even If our
prosperity depended solely on the war
we'd work and pray for peace just the
same.

The Public Defender.

providing Tor public defenders, after
an experiment in Los Angeles lasting
about IS months. The public defender
is the opposite Of the public prose
cutor.
The new law provides that every
county in The state may establish a
public defender to represent INDECENT
persons accused Of crime.
This seems to be a move in the di-
rection of substantial justice for the
moor man. Maurice Parmelee, in his
Principles Of Anthropology and So
ciology in Relation to Criminal Pro
cedure" devotes a chapter to the sub
ject Of public defense. He says that
the present form of official defense
is little better than a farce.

ploy counsel" writes Mr.. Parmelee, lit
becomes the duty Of the judge to as
sign a lawyer practicing in his court
to take charge Of the defense. The
usual result is that his lawyer en-
beavers to ascertain the financial re-
sources Of the defendant in order TO
determine whether there is any posi-
bility of securing a fee for the serv-
ices which it is his duty to perform
If there is no such possibility his wish
is to dispose of the case with as little
trouble as possible To do this, he
tries, first of all. to persuade the de-
PENDANT to plead guilty. If he sue
ceeds, he is relieved Of the necessity
of spending time and trouble in con
Quoting the trial. The defendant, how
ever may protest his innocence and
insist upon a trial The lawyer will
then give 10 the preparation for tho
trial as little time as possible. He
gives to the defendant a poor and
weak defense in opposition to thY
