NAVY PACT HEARINE

Having reached the Senate the pact negotiated at the London Con ference will be debatad at hearings next week. The supposton IS thai the pact will have comparatively smooth sailing through the Senate. even the critical Senator Borah ar- nouncing he has objections against the pact
 The main contention naI be that if the pact permits parity with Great Britain. such parity should be obtained-throusn the expenditure of billion dollars or the American fleet 10 bring f 1a 10 party
 It is a neat argument. but nhash- CT the econonucat Hoover admin5s- tration n1lI 20 through 7tH such ar idea IS doubtful Il should not be overlooked. therefore. that all the discussion about parity really does not mean what it says # so far as the rnited States IS concerned. it IS the theoretical right to party. and not 2 practical achievement

BARS TO JI STICE"


 When George ". Wickersham, chairman Of President Hooyer's law enforcement commission, says that one Of the bars to justice in this country is the fact that jury boxes are usually filled by morons who Will not convict unless the evidence IS oyerv vheImingly in favor Of the prosecution. he touches upon a point that many have discussed before him, except that few have gone so far as 10 claim the average jury con- s1sta O: morons.
 What Mir Wlche~sham proba bly, means Is that the "best clements in the communities rarely are found on the 5urias. What remains for the -ur5as is the ordinary" tyre Of citi- zen who Is likely 10 be svayed by his emotions rather than hy eason. Sometimes hls emotions tend in favor Of the accused.
 IL would be an ideal condition f in every maJor criminal case the jury would be composed Of Heading citizens" But 1t IS these who usual lv are excused for one reason or another. The problem IS one Of long standing
 r Mr. Wlchersham is in part dis posed toward his caustic criticisms through the fact that many 1urles Ill moist communities are not 5ncrn- d 10 bring in vardicts against al- -esed prohibition vtolators he is on different ground. The saving grace ot the Jury system Is that it tends to reflect public sentiment in the application of the laws. An unqopu- lar law has very little chance ot be- ing upheld by any kind Of a Jury in a community where the unpopuIarity os the Ia-T exists
 Some of Mir W1ckersham' other complaints regarding the American system of distributing justice is n7ors applicable ia some states than in others His complaint that in many states judges are forced to be mere automatons, having no right 10 say or do more in 2 ease than 10 be moderators or guardians ot order in inc court room. unfortunately IS true. 4 judge should he the leader of the 1ury. the man 10 whom the twelve men and true can look 10 for advice and guidance in gaugjng the intrlcacies Of the law. Without such 8 leader and adviser even an un- commonly intelligent Jury IS left at the mercy Of the contending a.tor- torneys. +o he confused and iockeyed into making foolish decisions,

 Nationwide systems of free enl- ployment agencies are advocated by practically all students of the unem- poyment problem. Such a piece Of social machinery naturally could not create new jobs, but it could prevent q worker seeking a job Nainly in one section while a job was available to him in another section. The Senate Committee on Education and Labor has recommended a system of em- pIoyment agencies in which the states and the municipalities will CO., operate with the federal government. The government would subsidize and control the standards of the place. ment bureaus; arrange for inter- state transfer Of workers; collect statistics; distribute information on lobs or lack Of them; and perform the other necessary co-ordinating actlitlcs. The actual work of plac- ing the workers in jobs would be the responsibility of the state and municipal bureaus.

'F '-i- tf2 -f--- t'-'-f- d ttI ' kId- ganda about the vast prospective in- . crease in employment that is just . around the corner does not impress iaborars without employment as very well put While optimism IS Very hopeful in is nature, the facts re- main that inc situation js slow to improve. Either too many are talk ing one way and acting another or there IS too much slack 10 take up. . Spring IS here. and the outdoors are pleasant yet the laborer. worthy Of h,s hire finds the hiring not abundant.
 In th5s country very ltre atten- ton has oeen pad 10 the tabulation Of unemployment s,atisttcs. Right now some sections of the country have need Of more lsborers. while other sections are glutted. How 10 put the man out Of q laborlng job in touch with employment seems to be nobody's business.
 Only threa-fourths of the states maIntaln public employment of fees, hut in some Of these states only one ofce IS maintained. What thoy amount 10. therefore. can be readily guessed. Only seven states maintained ten CT more employment offices Al the beginning of last fall, 50 the statistics show, there were only 17o state and municipal en- pIoyment bureaus in operation in the onnre country. As one observer puts
 The federal employment service established during the World war. IS TO" only skeleton organization, with I2 permanent district offices providing direct service only for farm ianor. There are also several thousand fae-charging employment agencies. as well as free employment services offered by unions. schools and colleges social welfare agencies. churches, and fraternal bodies. Most Of these public and private agencies work Independently Of one another, and have no facilities for transfer ring groups Of workers from docality to locality as they may be needed.
 How do men out Of jobs obtain new Jobs: That is q question that has been brought up time and again, and in order to discover the method q qucstlonnajre vas sent out by the Institute Of Economics. Washington, in the latter part of 1925 The ques- tionnaire was sent 10 500 newly dis placed workers in different crafts. These workers seemed on the whole to be personally competent, and were believed to have been separated from their jobs largely from ex- traneous circums stances. Of those who had found new jobs, over one half had been idle three months or more, and only one in ten had been unemployed for less than one month Over two-thirds had gone into en- tirely different industries. It IS gen. erallT believed that more workers find jobs through information from friends, newspaper advertisements, or direct application at factories or offices than through either public or private employment agencies.
 That IS how it is done, with news paper advertisements playing prominent part
