CORRUPTION

"Not since the Constitution of the United States

says representative of the Federal Council of
Churches "has our country been shocked now.
The man is fool who laugh at the scandal. Give
it the mildest Interpretation you can, and it is hor-
ribe Men in high office have broken the trust placed
in them"
Much of this is obviously true. But is it all true?
Are witnessing today the greatest weter OF cor
ruption in our public life that the nation has ever
seen? Is the scandal recently uncovered at Washing
ton really unprecedented?
Half century ago James Russell Lowell, IN a
similar mood, wrote of how he had looked over a
newspaper
"And of public scandal, private fraud,
Crime Haunting scot7free while the mob applaud,

ways such action has been exceptional, incidental

Seldom indeed has public mob seen fit to 'ap-
