the New York bar. both before and
after his service on the bench, and

Continued from First Page,

Quebec. In that province there has been
but one arrest for criminal assault
and that one arrest covered q period
Of sixty-f1ve years.
I'VE have been told" Mr.. Ellis con-
tinued, That there is in Chicago a band
OF pickpockets who engage counsel with
an annual retainer to defend their
members Such q charge against a
member of the bar is almost unbe-
lievable. yet such is the testimony"
The committee has heard so much
about conditions in Chicago. where
is judge Of q trial court. that 1t plans
to visit that city early next month to
make a first-hand investigation. April
10, Mr. Ellis stated, the entire COM
mittee. through the courtesy Of Judge
Kavanaugh, will sit with him on the

and others, X desirable. to learn Of
the underlying causes OF crime.
Same Action In New York.
Somewhat similar action will be
taken later in New York. There the
committee plans to meet at the head
quarters Of the bar association and
examine witnesses.
Mr.. Ellis was asked II the COM
mittee had decided upon a remedy.
Not a. q committee" he replied.
1--WE are considering several suSges-
tons, however.
ut seems to some OF US that the
way 10 check the crime wave is to
insure the administration OF justice
to everybody in the United States
rich and poor alike. When q man Is
sure that he can get justice .he
chances are that he will not want to
take the law into his own hands. We
want to strike at the root of the
trouble, and that, it seems to me. is
the root.
"Accordingly, we are considering a
proposal that the American Bar As
sociation take action at its next
meeting to insure the administra tion
OF justice to the poor man by plac-
ing at his disposal tho services OF its
members free of charge II he is un-
able to pay fee.
I'VE should like to have in every
community Of the United States q
eroup Of lawyers pledged to render
such service to man or woman, rich
ar poor. in civil or criminal cases.
We want those lawyers to be OF the
highest possible type. We want their
names published in the newspapers,
stuck up In the courthouses and po-
lice stations and elsewhere, so that
they may be thoroughly known to the

The President and his advisers
think it was good diplomacy to get
rid Of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
and substitute what appears to them
a harmless four-power pact. The
President has been told the treaties
are in danger of defeat-he refuses

coerce Congress. If Congress adopts
reservations that do not nullify the
pact itself, Mr.. Harding will accept
them. He does not want to be around
