head of special survey to deter
mine where and how the federal
power can best be used as wea-
pom against the criminal He is well
fitted for this work, for he is an
expert criminologist, was an adviser
to the New York crime commission
er and is the author Of numerous
surveys Of crime, notably In Ohio
and Missouri.
As for racketeering, both the
President and Moley see in the
new recovery act the authority,
which the federal government has
heretofore lacked, to intervene in
criminal cases involving business
conduct. Until now, unless a GRIM
inal act infringed upon some speci-
fic federal statute, such as one Of
the postal laws or the internal rev.
enue act or q law based on inter-
state commerce, the federal govern
ment had no means of Jurisdiction.
In the past the antitrust laws
have prevented the smaller indus
tries and business units from band
: ing together. Such a condition pro-
vided a fertile field for the racke-
teers, for illegal combinations, and
for violence.
|. The national recovery act, how
ever. provides directly for the abro-
cation Of the antitrust laws In
cases where they interfere with the
working Of the recovery program.
Industry and business are forced
into trade agreements. The federal
government sanctions and imposes
those agreements and any act in
violation Of such agreements or
tending to destroy the effect Of the
recovery act is made crime.
Against kidnapping, the President
Is counting on super police force
modelled in a general way on Eng
lands Scotland Yard, the postal
regulations, the income tax law, and
the recently enacted kidnapping
statute.
Recent instances of kidnapping are
familiar to all newspaper readers.

sums for the release of their vic
tins in several eases. The relatives

provides for collective bargaining
through employees chosen by the
workers.
Robert p. Lamont, former secre-
tary Of commerce and now presi-
dent Of the American Iron and
Steel institute, which represents 90
per cent Of the country's producers
Of pig iron and steel ingots, was
the chief spokesman for the iron
and steel Industry at the hearing.
William Green, president of the A.
f. L., challenged various sections
OF the offered code, especially the
minimum wage and maximum hours
provisions Secretary Of Labor Per-
kins, who had been making a tour
Of the Pennsylvania steel mills,
wanted the wage rates altered, es-
pecially criticizing the Is and q
cents minimum hourly rate set up
for the southern and Birmingham
districts. H..
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Lamont
announced the. industry had agreed
to raise the minimum pay In those
two districts to 80 cents an hour.
Both Green and Miss Perkins
urged that the 40 hour week would
not bring about sufficient re-employ-
ment in the industry.
Defending the proposed code, Mr..
Lamont said:
sz s 4 g
TT Is estimated that on the basis
Of q 60 per cent rate Of operations
and 40 hour week, substantially
all the 49,73S employees who were
not receiving work July /, 1888,
would be given employment. On
less than a 40 hour week the indus
try positively could not operate the
mills and meet any demands on
them In excess Of present produc-
ton. .-
1.-THE code establishes minimum
rate Of 40 cents an hour for COM
mon labor in the Pittsburgh,
Youngstown, north Ohio, Canton,

This rate is only 8 per cent less
than the highest base rate paid dur

are not paid, and the veterans Of
the war of independence undertook
to hold a parade to call attention
to their inability to collect their
pensions. The old soldiers were at
tackled by police and severely beat
en-, right under the eyes of Mr..
Welles, and it was reported the am
bassador would demand that Ma
chado revamp his cabinet and dis
miss Gen. Alberto Herrera, the
cause Of much Of the recent dis
turbance.
The Cuban ambassador In Wash
ington is persistently demanding a
larger import quota for Cuban sug-
ar. This and this alone would make
the island fairly prosperous and
would lead to the subsistence Of the
political disorders.
At present the sugar conference
has tentatively set Cuba's sugar ex-.
ports to the United States at 1,7OO,-
GOO short tons Of raw and only no.
600 tons of refined. Ordinarily
United States Importation Of Cuban
refined sugar is about half mill
lion tons.
THE apprehension Of war be-
: tween the United States and ia
pan, entertained by not a few Amer
leans, is apparently felt in Japan
also, despite official denials. The
army and navy heads Of the island
empire have just submitted to the
finance ministry estimates for the
1934-35 defense expenditures larger
than any In previous history and
AZ per cent greater than the appro-
priation for the current year. These
estimates included 1SO,OOOOOO yen
($5O,4OO at current exchange
rates) for new naval construction
and 75,OOO.OOO yen ($21, 0OO, OOO) for
modernization Of capital ships.
The navy ministry asked for the
fiscal year beginning next April 1
the sum Of 6SO,OOOO0O yen $780,
4OO,OOO), which is 80 per cent more
than the estimates Of 1922, the
largest previous estimates for the
sea forces.
The combined Japanese fleet be-
gan preparations for maneuvers

CHICAGO ~ Negroes are to have
their place in the sun at the Worlds
Fair here on August IL, @Negro Day.
The failure of the group to provide
an adequate exhibit of Negro accom-
plishment in the form of a racial ex-
hibit, has been something of a dis
appointment, not only to the local
population but to visitors who have
come to the exposition. This has been
due largely, it is said, to the inepti-
tude of the race itself and the unwill-
ingness of those who attempted spon-
sorship to provide sufficient funds
for such a venture.
"The Epic of A Race" to be pre-
scented August IL in the fair grounds
is expected to change this aspect
however, and the affair is gathering
such momentum, that it is on the lips

ASST. ATTY. GENERAL OF THE
STATE OF KANSAS, SPEAKS
IN THE CITY

Omaha has this week as its dis
tinguished guest the first Assistant
Attorney General for the State Of
Kansas. His message was especially
interesting in that it brought all ap-
peal to the masses to support Negro
BUSINESS enterprises than the depres-
ion has not cleaned out.
The Assistant Attorney General is
a republican and holds his position by
virtue Of the fact that a republican
administration is still in power down
in the sun flower state.
The very fact that the Negroes are
organized in Kansas is responsible
in a greater measure for his success
politically than any other one living.
He is n of the staunch supporters of
Western University, and was largely
responsible for that institution secur-
ing from the state of Kansas a $780,
0OO. 90 appropriation for the coming
term.
Kansas may well feel proud of such
a distinguished son who has reflected
great credit upon it's good name.
