LEGAL ADVICE TO
HALT RADICALS
Lawyers Before American Bar Assoc
citation Urge Equality in Law
Judge Hughes Points TO Work
Of New York Bureau.

St. Louis, Aug. 27.-Establishment
of legal aid bureaus throughout the
United States to give legal advice to
the poor was recommended as a
means of checking the spread of rad
icalism by speakers today at the con-
vention Of the American Bar Associa-
tion in session here.
"There is no more serious menace
Charles Evans Hughes declared, than
the discomfort which is fostered by
belief that one cannot enforce his le-
gal rights because Of poverty. To
spread that notion is to open a broad
road to bolshevism.
''The poor man must have legal adj
vice, and except in the simplest mat
tiers he needs skilled assistance to
present the merits Of his case.
Without opportunity on the part
Of poor to secure such aid it is idle
to talk Of equality before the law.
You may provide the machinery of
courts, but to have justice according
to law save in a very limited class Of
cases where a judge may act as adj
wiser, you must have the aid of law
yers. The Legal Aid society is the
poor mans lawyer and gives him the
essential assistance he cannot obtain
elsewhere"
New York Society.
The Legal Aid society of New York,
Mr.. Hughes said, gave advice to 34,-
900 applicants last year Mr.. Hughes
urged that free legal advice be given
the poor in criminal as well as civil
cases.
Reginald Heber Smith. Of Boston,
said simplified court procedure would
obviate the necessity for legal counsel
in certain cases, but where the serv-
ices of lawyer were demanded, they
should be available, irrespective of
the financial standing Of the client.

prophesy the outcome, there is no
mistaking that the present disturbed
condition there, if not checked, would
ultimately affect the United States to
considerable degree.
1T is possible that we are in per
iod of defation and that prices will
gradually work to lower levels, tho
in some classes of merchandise, ow-
ing to lack of production, prices may
be temporarily higher. No one ex-
poets that the old pre-war level Of
prices will be reached, because, with,

normal will be-"
