Rules A Refuge
= We are fortunate in the ability
and integrity of our Federal judges

these officers are called upon to ad-
minister is in many respects ill.,
adapted to present day conditions.
Its intricate and involved rules of
procedure have become the refuge
of both big and little criminals. There
Is a belief abroad that by invoking
technicalitieS, Subte .'fuge and delay
the ends of justice may be thwarted

strengthening of our whole judicial
and enforcement system both in
civil and criminal sides have been
advocated for years by statesmen

steps toward that end should not

tribute commodities on the one hama
and public utilities on the other.
In the former, our laws insist upon
effective competition; in the latter
because we substantially confer a
monopoly by limiting competition,
we must regulate their services ana
rates.
The rigid enforcement of the laws
applicable to both groups Is the
very base of equal opportunity and
freedom from domination for all our
people, and it Is just as essential
for the stability and prosperity OF
business itself as for the protection
of the public at large. Such regu-
lation should he extended by the
Federal Government within the
limitations of the constitution and
only when the individual States are
without power to protect their
citizens through their own authority.
On the other hand, we should be
fearless when the authority rests
only in the Federal Government.
Politics Not Enough
The larger purpose of our eco
nomic thought should he to estah-
lish more firmly stability and Sc
cruity of business and employment
and thereby remove poverty still
further from our borders. Our peo-

and should not imply the use OF
political agencies alone. Progress
il born of cooperation in the COM
munity-not from Governmental
restraints.
The Government should assist ana
encourage these movements OF col
lective self help by itself co-oparat-
ing with them. Business has by
cooperation made great progress
in the advancement of service, IN
stability in regularity of employ
rnent and in the correction OF its
own abuses. Such progress, how
ever, can continue only so long as
business manifests its respect for
law.
Could BE Bettered
There IL an equally important
field of cooperation by the Federal
Government with the multitude of
agencies. State, municipal and
private. In the systematic develop
ment OF those processes which di-
rectIy affect public health, recrea'
ton, education and the home. we

Is largely free from the inheritances

1t is impossible. my countrymeTl,

America, in millions of homes

fession Of our unworthiness IL It

Armament Limitation Seen
As Result of Recent TrentU

The recent treaty for the renun-
citation of war as an instrument
of national policy sets an ad-
vanced standard in our conception
of the relations of nations. It's ac
ceptance should pave the way to
greater limitation of armament, the
offer of which we sincerely extend
to the world. But it's full realiza-
ton also implies a greater and
greater perfection in the instru.
mentalities for specific settlement
of controversies between nations.
In the creation and use of these
instrumentalities we should sup.
port every sound method of con-
Ciliation. arbitration and judicial
settlement.
American statesmen were among
the first to propose and they have
constantly urged upon the world,
for the settlement of controversies
of a. justiciable character. The
Permanent Court of international
Justice in Its Wajor purpose is
thus peculiarly identified with
American craftsmanship. No more
potent instrumentality for this pur-
pose has ever been conceived and
no other is practicable of estab.
lishment.

adherence should not he. misinter-
