chairman of the American Bar
Associations committee on
Law Enforcement, declared,
1.-THE criminal situation in the
United States so far as yio-
lence is concerned, is worse
than in any other civilized
country.
The remedy for this appall-
ing condition is to be found in
the return to decent living un-
der self-control and respect for
the laws of the land" During
the course of his speech he cit
ed acts attributed to the la
dies of the Invisible Eyes,"
in Texas and the crimes of mob
violence in Birmingham in
speaking of violation of law.
Americans hold the life of
man too cheaply. Upon the
slightest provocation men feel
they are impelled to take the
law into their own hands. This
sort of conduct is contrary to
the fundamental principles of
government and this wholesale
disrespect for law and order
presages the downfall of any
government"

from the state authorities 1.-The federal
government Is ready to afford protection
and will take action If necessary as soon
as you have reply from governor"

Officials in announcing the govern
ment's action emphasized it was. taken
because the Missouri, Kansas and Texas

indicate that the action was to be taken
as precendent determining the policy to
be followed by the government in other
cases where violence and lawlessness
arising from the strike interfere with the
two essentials as enumerated by Presi-
dent Harding in his proclamation-move
ment of the mails and maintenance Of
interstate commerce. It is understood,
however. that the president personally
will pass upon other emergencies that
may arise calling for the use of troops.
