the suggestion of Judge julius
NJ. Mayer of the United States District
Court He believes that while the
Harrison act dealing with users OF
and trafickers in narcotics is a step
in the right direction, Congress should
go still further in the humane aim of
stamping out the drug evil. Though
he has no sympathy with men who by
cunning methods are peddling opium.
heroin and other narcotics. he has the
greatest compassion for the victims OF
the drug habit. He would give them
a new start.
More than any other Judge In the
Southern district Judge Mayer has
had to do with drug cases in addition
to disposing of a large number OF
other cases. Only last month he had
thirteen defendants in drug cases be-
fore him for sentence. all the arrests
having been made by the narcotic
squad of the Police Department. and
the prosecutions being handled by
Harold A. Content. Assistant United
States District Attorney. Through pre-
siding over the trials and listening TO
the stories of the drug victims he has
learned OF their weakness. their SUI.
ferings and the manner which they
are preyed upon by trafiickers in mar
cotics, and has been impressed with
the necessity Of helping the men and
women who have succumbed to the
drug habit.

this class" said Judge Mayer the other

Japan has no fervent desire To ac-

sary that she attack them in order
successfully TO take the Pacific coast
and enforce her terms with her fleet
in the Atlantic.
She estimates tina, she can take

She knows that she can take the
Philippines unmolcsted. hut will not

the more naval defence against her the
