Ii COrpuleEce Were
Declared A Crime

The man or woman who carries
extra flesh IS as much an addict as
IS the INDIVIDUAL enSIaved TO his
drug. These slaves to food exercises
will not rise up and cure themselves.
Eooncr or later the conn lunity will
have to take them in haEt and bring

This can be done at any time by
d~cl2rlng cOrpUience CRIME and by
assessing the appropriate punish
ment-incarceration without tood.
There are many reasons why Ger
pulenve should be declared a crime
and punished The fist and obvi-
Gus reason is that the fat person is
consuming more than MS share of
the food of the community. The
second reason is that he occupies
more than his allotted space i'll all
public places-that he slows up the
dow of normal life for which he is
100 deliberate. He is a criminal in
the third place because he is COM
hitting suicide which Is against the
law.
When corpulence is declared
crime in the eyes of the law, the
perfect crime will have been dis
Conceive the satisfaction in pre-
pairing the evidence against such
criminal. When he is presented he
mutely testifies against himself. His
very appearance is a plea of guilty.
The evidence may be weighed Oh
q grocer's scale. There will be no
wrangling lawyers. no third degree,
no cross-eXamination The accused
steps on the steelyards and rings up
his sentence. 1t is the perfect
crime The punishment is no less
perfect.
Experiments have shown that a
fat man without food loses weight
- the rate of two pounds a day.
Therefore when the scales indicate
,tn overweight of twenty pounds,
he sentence is automatically ten
days.
ITO be released at $50 pounds"

II think France might feel the

is a retiring president"
The general impression got abroad
was all nations desire 20 reduce their

continued. He saw no objection to Il

was being discussed.
Il should like to see the United
States equal to any nation in sea pow

White said, "but questions might be
raised at the conference which would
show the right Of some nation to a
larger navy than the others, Great
Britain, for instance I should think
the question Of relative size would he
enc for the conference to decide"
The former peace commissioner said
the expression "open covenants, openly
arrived at" was a beautiful theory
but was impracticable because sons
negotiations between nations must be
secret He added he had always been
inclined to the theory ''war knows nc
law and for this reason had never
been able to place his faith in The
Hague conferences.
