st. Paul, MINI. The Saltwater
prison plant is characterized as the
best Of its kind in the country by the
third issue of the Handbook Of Amer
lean Prisons and Reformatories, now
being published by the National So
ciety Of Penal Information.
The handbook also commends the
prison industrial organizations. but
points out the need Of more progress
sive policy in the matter of discipline
and in the development Of an educa-
tional program.
The article says in part:
''This (the prison) is notable in
stitution in two important respects:
Its plant is the best of its kind in the
country and it's Industrial system one
of the most effective. The plant. care

Chinese Soldiers Driuen to Banditry

an, Shautung and Kwang- consular
reports indicate that former soldiers
grouped into well organized bandit
gangs have looted towns and villages
and kidnapped persons even Of ,moder-
ate means for ransom. Several army
commanders have not paid their troops
for months, even years, and eventual
~ the soldiers desert to become rob-
bers.
North Manchuria has been chief
sufferer from the recent spread Of BAN
ditry. During recent years, with COM
parative peace and order, this section
has pr0spered, and this government
had succeeded in suppressing the Mon.
gol, Chinese and White Russian rob-
bers who infested the area.
But the dispute with Soviet Russia
has preoccupied the government
troops, with the result that the BAN
dts have become more active than
ever. The 1000 mile border between
Siberia and Manchuria is out of reach
of the Chinese troops, and affords easy
prey for the robber bands.
