may be in the aggregate as deplorable as the enect
| on the lynched
| In this instance there appears to have been little
doubt that the ordinary processes OF trial would
have resulted in the reasonably prompt conviction
and punishment of the murderers IN accordance
with law. What the mob determined was to make
its own law to fit the revolving nature of the case
and to hasten the execution of vengeance If there
is any favorable meaning to be drawn from the
action, it is the indication that Americans are re-
solved to have done with kidnapping and to make 1t
thoroughly unattractve to any who might be
tempted.
Such resolution, extended to all kinds of rae
keteering, might we'll be appauded. That is evi-
IDENTIFY what Governor James Rolph, Jr., had in
view when he characterized this iouting of law as
"the best lesson California has ever given the
country" But the "esson" would better not be
taken too literally. 1t would be a dangerous COM
munity to live in that would leave the suppression
of kidnapping or the enforcement Of other laws to
the kind of passion the chief custodian of Cali
rornia's laws condones
Let it be conceded that the administration of
criminal justice in the United States is insuferably
cluttered with meaningless technicaties loopholes,
political intrigue abracadabra and Subterfuges for
delay Admit that this is national scandal 10
which America is only awakening. Still the short
circuiting of Justice by violence settles only one
case Apart from the uncertain effect of example,
it leaves uncorrected, even weakened, the general
structure of legal practice which society depends
upon to administer justice and preserve the public
safety in million more subtle but none the less
vital cases.
If an equal number of men and women would
devote to the Improvement and SmpltcatIon "t
American legal processes half as much energy as Is
spent in mob violence but keep it longer sustained,
they would do mmeasuraby more good. If de-
termined group of lawyers and laymen would
smash into Misunderstanding legal techncalities
and batter them out of American codes with as
much vehemence and persistence as that of the
men who pounded down the doors of the jail al
San Jose, they would be protecting their commu-
mites not merely from one or two unbalanced
wretcheS but from a whole army of organized
lawlessness that feeds on American citizens.
The perfecting of civil law would make lyncn
law unnecessary.-C Christian Science Monitor

THE COMBAT OF WORDS

The rivalry between General Hugh S. johnson
and Hon. Alfred E. Smith in the use of pungent
words and phrases is most engaging.
Mr. Smith, in his criticism of TIE Democratic
administration refers to "baloney dollars; to 'n
experienced young college professors who would
make guinea pigs of the American people for eX-
perimentation'; to the party of green-backerS
paper money printers, free silvcrites rubbed dollar
manufacturers and crack-pots."
General Johnson, accepting the challenge, speaks
of the "corporals of disaster; leaders, guides and
scouts of the old road to ruin; 'tOm-tOm beaters
and the 'social Neanderthalers who out to stop
recovery"
What whale of a conflict of words! It's posi-
lively lurd. No such displays of verbal fireworks
have been in political discussions of the for
merly dry subjects of industry agriculture, COM
merce and monetary policy since William Jennings
Bryan launched the Gross of Gold" crusade. It's
not only interesting; it's enlightening. Think Of
the expressions "socal Neanderthalers' and cha
loney dollars in a head-on collision. Gosh! It's
great.-Spartanburg Herald

REACTING TO CRIME

1t is the statement of Warden Lawes of Sing
Sing that 100000 Americans criminals, SO
known and branded because of their records as
yiolators of the law
Certain it is, too that never before has crime
and criminals been brazen and defiant
erecting themselves in attitudes of fresh effron-
teries and making mockery of the law and JUS
tice.
This is situation that can be accepted as a
matter merely of information, or it can be re-
celved as a challenge by the American people to
set bonds to this increasing avalanche of wrong
doing that is pouring down upon this country.
The more that lawlessness is condoned and apoI-
oglzed for the more daring it will become And
notnlng suits the criminal better than to have a
pe0hc sentiment that just sleeps on while he is
0i0w'ng safes, wrecking banks, numbering men and

EVERYONE MUST HELP

Not another winter like the last!
That was the pledge of the new administration
when it came into office Every effort is being
given to achieve it. 1t represents the most earnest
hope of every citizen.
But government alone can't do it all. We can
spend money for relief--and we are-but there Is
never enough We can build public works-but
there comes an end to that, and the public treasury
is not bottomless. large share of any kind of
relief effort must be borne by the individual citizen
And this doesn't mean charity, vital as that Is.
The best kind of relief is that which spends money
and provides Jobs on projects which are perma-
nentlv valuable and gives those who pay the bill
something really needed. That is true whether the
work is done by the federal government or the
state or John Jones down the street.
A dollar spent for house, or to repair an
old one, does double duty. An extremely large
share goes directly to lab in your own town. The
rest of it goes to various industries through nu-
merous pockets 1t touches many states and COM
munties. 1t is always growing and by the time It
has run its course it has done the work of so or
100 dollars.
Remember that-and remember too that you
have a selfish interest in building and repairing
while prices still in the economic basement

WHY CALL ON UNCLE SAM
FOR HELP?
(Read , Cor. 6:11-lS)
CBY BRUCE CATION

The last few months have seen federal
authorities moving swiftly and effectively
to strike at organizing kidnapping gangs. 1t
has been pretty clearly proved that Uncle
Sans men can do better job of rounding
up such crooks than local police can.
The result has been widespread agita-
tion iIkfasor of extending the power OF
federal law enforcement agencies over ali
fields Of crime prevention and detection.
Joseph B. keenan,, the assistant attorney
general under whose direction some Of
the most spectacular anti-kidnaping drives
havsJaken place, recognized this not long
agoSA sEsPeech in Ohio.
There is increasing demand for the
federal government to ignore the law and
make a. 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 locaI-have become national because
of improved transportation, and in these
the government can act. But it is not going
20 violate law and order to get at criminals
for violating the law"
The clamOr for martial law and Mus.
solini-ike 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 reorganize our entire
system of police work and put a much
larger share of it in the hands OF the fed
eral government?
The facts of the situation make this look
very attractive, in many ways. Every citi-
zen of a good-sized city is familiar with
the way police talk about known gun
men," prominent racketeers," 'the So
and-sO gang" and so on, without accom-
panying their words with action.
The contract between this frequent ad-
mission of police helplessness and the ef-
ficiency with which federal operatives
strike is foo striking to overlook.
Yet the pToblem is far from simple. Fed
eralizing our police would call into ques-
ton our whole system of local government.
The "home rule" principle we are so fond
of certainly would suffer. The movement
might carry us a good deal farther than
we would wish to be carried
Back of it all there lies the simple fact
that 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 eff
ciency-in the vast majority of cases-is
politics.

PEACE PACT COOLS OFF TIP
BOILING BALKAN WAR p,
BY J. D. QUIRK
IJn;ted Press Staff Correspondent

ISTANBUL, Dec. l. CUP.
The turbulent Balkans, stepping
off point for many a European
war, are at last rapidly heading
for peace-at least amongst them
selves.
Recent events in Turkey. Ru-
mania, Bulgaria, Greece, 4ugo-
slavia and Czechoslovakia, and
the signing of several pactS
among these countries, has led
observers to envisage great Cen
trail and Eastern Europe peace
bloc, allied only to Soviet Russia.
One result would be a lessening
of Frances influence in the Bal
kans. Without their support, her
inclinations to dominance at Cen
eva would be considerably re-
duced.
Turkey is the chief prOtagonist
of Balkan peace. During the last
two months she has signed four
close-linking pacts. One was for
ten years with her old enemy,
Greece: two were fve-year pacts
with Bulgaria and Rumania; and
a fourth with Yugoslavia is also
probably for five years.
Several factors have led to the
rapid conclusion Of these agree
ments. The ball was set rolling
by the pact defining aggression
in which Poland, Russia, Rumania,
Turkey and other states joined.
This brought the first reconcllla-
ton between Rumania and Rus
STA.
Observers declare that the Bal
kan pot, whose simmering boiled
over into the World war, is now
slowly but surely cooling off.
