problems
Boundaries Limited.
Senator Bingham laid stress today on
the fact that the District of Columbia
unlike other large cities, has limited
boundaries which cannot be expanded,
and said this was an important fact to
be kept in mind in determining the Fed
eral contribution toward District ex-
penses. He pointed out that cities like
New York and Boston have taken in ad-
joining communities, thereby adding to
the taxable area and population, while
the boundaries of the District of CO.
lumbia have been definitely fixed by the
Federal Government.
Senator Bingham said he had no
thought of advocating that any of the
adjacent areas should be added to the
District of Columbia, but was merely
emphasizing that Washington can not
expand its taxable area as other cities
do and that this should be taken into
consideration in fixing the amount OF
the Federal contribution.

shall be elected by popular vote. The

disposition on the part of the Egyptian
government to hamper free transmits

his government was properly determined
to end personal ibels published in GER

a result of this determination rumors
charging a muzzling of the press had

ing with crime. and in most cases I am simply
repeating what has been told me by various au-
thorities the subject. am not basing my
opinions observance alone"
Mr.. Calvert then discussed capital punish
ment, which he calls advertisement Of
murder"
Of capital punishment, but despite 1t. II we
abolished it, We would have even less. We
should reduce the number Of eapital-punish-
ment sentences in connection with pathological
crimes-crimes committed in moments of pas
sion, due to sex, rage, Jealousy, fear or drink,
when the person committing the ofense Is in
capable of considering the consequences of his
action Those murders which can truly be
called premeditated form o very small per-
centage of the whole and are usually commit
ted by persons SO convinced of their own clev-
erness that they think they will never be found
out. Obviously, if. as happens IN most in
stances, the murderer is so dominated by pas
sion that he is incapable Of considering con-
sequences or if he is confident that he will es-
cape detection, no threat of punishment is
likely to constitute an effective deterrent.
People say that capital punishment is q de-
terrent But in order to justify capital punish
ment even on grounds of expediency it Is not
enough to show that it is q deterrent; it must
be shown to be the most effective deterrent. It
would be idle to deny that the death penalty Is
a deterrent, but so was torture In the Middle
Ages. The vital question Is whether or not
capital punishment like torture, can be re-
placed by other penalties not open to such
grave objections. 49,

noblest sensiblties; it is i'm
moral, futile, unnecessary a
deterrent and fundamentally
wrong. The very belief in the
sanctity of human life which gives us hor-
of murder as one of the greatest of all
crimes equally forbids to take the life of
the murderer. The whole basis of Christian
ethics is that our attitude to any man. no mat
ter how evil or depraved he may be, must be
redemptive. The death penalty is crude sur
vival of the retributive theory of punishment
which offers no scope for reform"
E. r. Calvert, noted British penologst in
this way denounced capital punishment and
expressed his opposition to the death penalty
during a recent visit to the United States. Mr..
Calvert is a member of the executive committee
of the Howard League for Penal Reform author
of Capital Punishment in the Twentieth Cen
tury' and numerous other books on the same
subject. He is also secretary of the National
Council for the Abolition of the Death Penalty,
founded by Lord Buckmaster. p c., in in 1924.
which is one of the most powerful pathological
groups in Great Britain, uniting, as it does, all
prison-reform organizations. A bill to abolish
capital punishment reached its second reading
in Parliament last year.
The British advocate of the abolition of the
death penalty came to America few weeks
ago for the purpose of getting in touch with
various leagues to abolish capital punishment.
He was met by representatives of the Prison
Association of New York, the American Prison
Association, the pathological department of the
Russell Sage Foundation and the American
League to Abolish Capital Punishment
GET WANTED to get first-hand knowledge of
the American crime situation, because
for some time past I have realized that there
has been very grave misunderstanding about
it." began Mr.. Calvert lover In Europe we
hear wild stories about crime in certain Ameri-
can cities, particularly in Chicago. I believe
that these stories are misleading and exag-
gerated, and that they are responsible for con-
siderable international friction. Europeans feel
that If Americans really have the staggering
number of crimes in their leading cities that
they are reputed to have, conditions must be
intolerabe over here and that Chicago and
other like places are centers to avoid aSSidu-
Ously and dislike enormously. Anglo American
relations thus seriously affected, for they
are inevitably interviewer and influenced by the
crime situation.
Thus my principal purpose in studying your
penal institutions and comforting with your
penal-reform societies was to give people back
home the real truth regarding the matter. I
do not pretend that in few weeks I have
grasped the key to the whole crime situation

in America. fully understand that 1t Is
question which has long been occupying your
best minds. But I think / have discovered
some of the problems and difficulties involved.
In the first place, have learned that these
wildly extavagant stories are largely based on
a quite genuine misunderstanding of your crime
statistics. Very eminent penologists here agree
that the United States crime statistics are I'M
reliable because they lack uniformity in their
source material But even though they were
accurate, they would still be misleading for
the reason that you include all your murders
under the term homicide We use two muir
der and manslaughter.' People in England
compare your number of homicides with the
number Of murders at home, and you can
readily how they are bound to arrive at an
extremely erroneous conclusion.
You have many more deliberate murders
than we have in England, although, for the
reasons 1 have given, they not nearly so
bad the misleading reports suggest. In so
far as you have more murders, they are due
perhaps, to the fact that you have in your
social life certain problems of which England
knows nothing The homicidal rate of coun-
try is influenced by many different factors
such the racial composition and industrial
life of its people and the degree of efficiency
with which justice is administered. You have
for instance. many races intermingling. am

not suggesting that these people of foreign
blood have more pronounced criminal tenden-
cies than any others, but the fact is that when
you have different elements mixed, you are
certain to get racial animosity and maladjust-
ment. The American-born child of foreign
parents must find 1t particularly difficult to
achieve adjustment with mixed elements war
ring within him.
sEENGLAND gets higher percentage of con-
victions for crime than America does. A
much larger percentage Of our criminals are
brought to punishment. OF course, no punish
ment is going to stop pathological crimes, those
committed by the mentally unbalanced or the
emotionally disturbed the subnormal per-
sons who kill in outburst of uncomfortable
passion. Punishment is only going to stop pre-
meditated crime. I am told that English JUS
tice is considered much more severe, but on
the other hand, you execute three times as
many people in proportion to population as we
do in England. In America a lawbreaker is
given a sentence of five or six years, while the
English lawbreaker is sentenced to six or more
months for corresponding crime.
England has, by the certainty Of conviction
practically eliminated hold-ups for robbery.
Most of our crimes are pathological in origin
and less than 10 per cent committed for
mercenary motives That 10 per cent includes
poisonings for gain and similar c-isAes. The
hold-up and gang murders are practically I'M
known, and believe 1t has been stopped by the
