We'd Give Up

Fairfield county seems to have made up it's mind to accept the present plan of constructing the Merritt Highway. By that we mean the county won't protest any longer if the road is built in sections. However, the complaints are still being made. Now they don't want an eight lane parkway down there. They only want four-lane one. There may be some logic in this demand, but we fail to see it. If our road builders are to look to the future then they must be prepared to build roads that will care for the traffic of the future. It is our opinion that the four-lane roadway eventually will be su- perseded by those much wider.
 We don't presume that the Highway Department has overlooked anything in planning this super county highway. It has been discussed so much that we don't see how anybody in the state, or in New England for that matter, can possibly dis claim ignorance of the project. It is a road-building job that entails something like $15,000,000. In this day that's quite a sum of money to spend on any road, let alone one that merely passes through one county of the state. However, motorists in the other counties of Connecticut are willing to be taxed for their share of the cost of building it, because most of them
 
 admit the need of it.
 When recently it was announced that actual work on the parkway would begin very shortly there was rejoicing through out the state, save in Fairfield county. Perhaps the residents down there should be the most critical of the plans. The road will pass just through their county. But it won't be just Fairfield county that pays for this route If it was then there would be no complaints from the rest of us when Fairfield county keeps up a con- tinual storm of criticism. We're begin- ming to think that the state highway de- partment should have washed it's hands of the entire matter and suggested Fair field County Park organization, similar to that in Westchester county, New York, to administer the undertaking. Then Fair field could have argued to it's heart con- tent over it without the rest of us saying one word. It would be purely a county affair. As it now stands it's state mat ter in which all of us really have some voice.

Why Call On Uncle Sam?

The last few months have seen federal authorities moving swiftly and effectively to strike at organized Kidnapping gangs. It has been pretty clearly proved that Uncle Sam'g men can do better job of rounding up such crooks than local police can. The result has been widespread agitation In favor of extending the power of federal law enforcement agencies over all fields Of crime prevention and detection.
 Joseph B. Keenan, the assistant attor- ney general under whose direction some of the most spectacular anti-kidnaping drives have taken place, recognized this not long ago, in speech in Ohio. 'There is increasing demand for the federal gov ernment to ignore the law and make cleanup" he said. President Roosevelt even has been asked to declare martial law and rout out the crooks.
 "This is unsound. Purely local crimes can be suppressed locally, but some - once local - have become national be- cause of improved transportation, and III these the government can act. But it IS not going to violate law and order to get at criminals for violating the law" The clamor for martial law and Mussolini- like drive on all fronts has died down somewhat in the last week or SO. But there remains the underlying issue: Would it be profitable for us to reorgan- ize our entire system of police work and put much larger share of it in the hands of the federal government?
 The facts of the situation make this look very attractive, in many ways Every citizen of a good-sized city is familiar with the way police talk about known gunmen," prominent racketeers," "the so-and-so gang" and so on, without ac- companying their words with action. The contrast between this frequent admission of police helplessness and the efficiency with which federal operatives strike at gangsterism is too striking to overlook
 Yet the problem is far from simple. Federalizing our police would call into question our whole system of local gov- ernment. "The 'home rule' principle we are so fond of certainly would suffer. The movement might carry us good deal farther than we would wish to be carried. Back of it all there lies the simple fact that a local police force can be made just as efficient, for combating local crimes, as any police force needs to be. The one thing that prevents it from reaching this efficiency z in the vast majority of cases = is politics. In the long run, we shall get the kind of police work we want when we get honest, decent, and efficient local government. If we do that, we won't need to call on Uncle Sam for help.

Editor, Waterbury Evening Dem
 Quoting from Dr Lionel D. Edie's book, "The Banks and Prosperity" himself close to the inner circle, he says:
 Although most Central Banks would disavow any political mo- tiyes, nevertheless their actual pol icies seemingly cannot be divorced from political considerations. They may withdraw funds from for eign country as a means of exert ing pressure on representatives of such a country in an international diplomatic conference. They may make money rates easy in order that the treasury may float new loans more cheaply. They may re- fuse to restrain prosperity because such action would embarrass a pol- itical party in forthcoming cleo tions. They may lapse into a policy of inaction in order to protect themselves from attack by par ticular political bloc"
 Dr Edie may or may not be chagrined for writing the above but, at any rate. 1t lets the cat out of the bag. Millions of people have always felt that the moneyed in- terests controlled them somehow and they resented 1t at various times but what could they do about 1t.

Lynch Him! Lynch Him!

Had society failed utterly in it's task of preserving law and order in the commun- ity more of us might have applauded the actions of the mob that dragged the kid napers and murderers of Brooke Hart from jail and lynched them. We might have joined in the huzzas which greeted the same treatment just accorded negro in St Joseph, Missouri, after he had con- fessed to an attack upon a white girl. Just as an after thought we wonder why these mobs rarely if ever inflict summary jus tice upon a white after committing the same form of crime as the unfortunate negro.
 But we are more concerned with the California incident which, we don't hesi- tate to claim, will have great deal of influence upon the minds of the populace. We are fed up with kidnapings in this nation. We would like to see them out lawed. We are amazed at the crime statistics of England which record no ln- stances of this description. The lynch law is never invoked in England today. It's long arm of the law is tenuous enough to go around every conceivable corner and tangle; its long arm of the law IS strong enough to hold prisoner once entangled.
 It is unfortunate that the states have so
  init the worst criminals to roam the nation at large It is not much of reflection upon our progress in civilization. With all our means and resources we are forced to resort to methods, to restrain the crlm- inal, that were those of our forefather. And when the men we elect to office to enforce our laws applaud aloud these tactics we are going backward not for ward. Governor Rolph of California might promise immunity to the mob that lynched the kidnappers and murderers. That could be expected. But he certainly should not have suggested it as means of ending crime.
 In the eyes of God the lynchers are as guilty of murder as Thurmond and Holmes were. To the mob was not dele gated the authority to take away life that had been forfeited to the state They assumed it in spirit of violence and anger. We may sympathize with their motives, but to praise them is but to make ourselves accomplices in the crime We did think that lynching in the United States was on the wane. We can expect in theinext few months to see more examples of it. It is a sad commentary uton our American laws and upon our courts of justice that from them must be taken their DraroGatives. Perhans it will
