BOY SCOUT NEWS

"The greatest potential antdcrime
asset our country has today" That is
what some of the most eminent legal.
lists in America said of the Boy Scouts
when they heard Judge James Church
Cropsey, Brooklyn, N. Y, former po-
lice commissioner of New York City
and now on the supreme bench of the
state, give his testimony at the six
teenth annual convention of the ma
tionaI council of the Boy Scouts of
America held in Washington, D. c.,
during the last of April.
OF more than 100000 boys brought
before the criminal courts in Brooklyn
in the last Is years less than doben
had ever been boy scouts and only
two were scouts at the time they got
into trouble, was the testimony given
by Judge Cropsey. Then Tampa, Fla.
testified that not one of the boys
brought before the courts in that city
in Is years had ever been Boy Scout.
In New York City not one Boy Scout
appeared in the children's court which
deals with boys under 16 years of age,
during the last ten years.
A novel idea has been carried out
according to J. R. Marcum. Always.
Mr. Marcum said, we have a scout
councillor at the session of the juve-
nile court and the probation officer
of the court is himself scoutmaster.
Immediately boy is brought before
the court he is offered memberhsip
in the Boy Scouts and we become his
friend, adviser and in some sense his
guardian. Our experience with boys
thus taken in has been wonderful.
Not one of them has ever been re-
peater at court and our plan has been
working for five years.
What was heard at the convention
greatly cheered the legalists and anti
crime experts of the Amrican law in
stitute and the National Crime com.
mission, who have been shaping poll
cies, measures, and codifications to
perhaps said they, as they listened
to the viril scout testimony while we
have been discussing the solution of
the crime problem, these scoutmasters
and fathers have found the solution,
tn far reaching and enduring one"
Sir Robert S. Baden-Powell, chief
scout of the world and the originator
of the scout movement, was special
guest of the council. In his address
Sir Baden-Powell said in part. "Our
job is not to cure crime, but to pre-
vent it and if you are going to pre-
vent it you have got to begin at the
beginning. In other words, brother
scouts, catch the boy at and when
he is 18 he will not depart from you.

! be resumed in the mines at the old
rates and that the recommendations
of the royal coal commission be put
into effect.
There was apparently a general
belief that Sir Johns proposal had
received some encouragement from
hte government, and the former Ia
bor minister Tom Shaw took occasion
to say that the labor men were
ready to make the peace movement
effective if the miners were guar
anteed a square deal.
Ramsay Macdonald, the former
labor premier, who left a sick bed
to take part in the struggle and who
has been working with the others
day and night to bring the opposing
elements to what has been char
acterized as "a reasonable frame of
mind was in the thick of the labor
conferences today. But, wearied and
worm he kept silent, saying that
he was not yet ready to talk. 1t IS
evident to all observers, however,
that he is using every effort to
bring about the necessary prelimin-
aries to a settlement.
The ministers of the crown were
again in council today, and the king
held a privy council, those present
being the Earl of Balfour, Sir Will
liam Joynson Hicks and Lord Eus-
tace. Percy Lord Balfour had a
private conference with the king
prior to this, and Sir William Joyn-
son Hicks remained for a time with
the king after the council.
Whether these movements had any
close relation to the peace efforts is
not known, but in other directions
there has been great activity and
late tonight a conference called ear
ly in the evening, was still in ses~
sion at the trades union congress

provision to be reached later to set

policy in the measure, the house re-
jected an amendment by Representa-
tive Black, democrat, New York, to
make it's benefits applicable to "all

such commodities" He considered
the latter phrase unusual in that it
would be in class legislation.
Two amendments to cut down the
size of the council and the farm
board which would be created also
were voted down.
During discussion of the bills pro-

date imposition of an equalization

Representative Williams, republican,
Illinois, member of the agriculture
committee, remarked that the changes
would restore the measure to the
form in which it originally was pre-
sented by the corn belt delegation,
which later had rewritten it in pres
ent shape.
The house will turn aside from
farm relief tomorrow to dispose of
other business but will resume con-
sideration of the agriculture bills
Thursday and continue with them the
remainder of the week. Indications
are that a final vote will not come
before Saturday, if then.
