HEAVY CRIME COST

Racketeering has cost Delaware
citizens about $2,352,000 annually
for several years, and criminal costs
including racketeering, we're more
than 100000 annually in. recent
years, according to a report of DR..
Harry v. Holloway, State superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.
The figures are the result OF
study made by DR.. r. L. Herbst, d.
record of research for the Depart
ment Of Public instruction. Many Of
the conclusions are admittedly es-
Inmates, based upon population ra-
ito. but DR.. Holloway is convinced
they closely approximate the truth.
Another item included which at
tains large proportions is insurance
against crime. This comprises aver
age total premiums for burglary and
theft insurance, fidelity insurance
against defalcations against em-
ployees, riot insurance and similar
safeguards.
Private expenditure for protec-
ton against crime is given as $780,
900 in this State. This includes the
investment in salaries paid watch
men, railroad police, private detee-
tives, etc, and in protective devices
such as safes. armored cars, bullet
proof glass, gas devices and similar
things.
In addition to the obvious losses
in the expense of maintaining penal
institutions. courts and police agen-
cies, DR.. Holloway also includes pa
role systems. witnesses, prosecp-
tion. correctional treatment and

LATEST PARK FISH
STORY rs

The latest and widest fish
story out of Yellowstone park is
told by Captain Steward D. Camp
bell of the adjutant generals Of
flee at Washington, D. C. He has
five witnesses to the incident who
support the authenticity of his
story.
While casting from the banks
of the Yellowstone river at Fish
ing bridge, Campbell hooked a
ten-inch trout, and thinking it too
small, threw it back. Immediately
the trout followed the line back
and then hoped out of the river
and flounced around Campbell's
feet on the river bank. Again he
threw it back and again the fish
popped out of the water and lay
at his feet. This time he launched
the gullible trout on a high aerial
nose-dive into the middle of the
stream. Now all Campbell has to
do is to get park visitors to be-
lieve his story.

A TEN PER CENT PAYMENT

# is said that the administration has accepted the ten
million dollar ''token" payment from Great Britain on
the June debt installment as a partial settlement only,
that this does not mean John Bull is released from the
rest of the obligation. 1t is stated further that Great Bri-
tain acknowledges that this does not settle the INSTALL
ment in full; also that President Roosevelt did not accept
the ten million payment in silver until he had such ac-
Acknowledgement from Great Britain. The real value OF
the payment because 1t is to be made IN silver, is less than
eight millions of dollars.
Despite the fact that all of these face saving acknowl-
edgements have been made the fact remains that the ac-
ceptance of the small payment means a weakening on the
part of Uncle Sam so far as the debt situation is con-
cerned. Great Britain did not claim that she was unable
to pay the full i%nstallment. In fact the condition of her
finances is better than it was a year or two ago when
payments were being made regularly. The only purpose,
therefore, Of rendering a small payment was to get a seal
ing down of the final amount to be paid. France, with her
gold heap, Belgium and other European nations have de-
faulted entirely. Great Britain is too proud to default.
AS world banker, a position which she hopes to resume
when conditions get normal again, she knows that debt
reputation now might affect her credit in the days to
come. For that reason she has offered to pay about ten
per cent of the total amount due in order to evade the
term reputation. But she hopes and expects that after
the economic conference is over, there will be an end to
this debt payment business and she will have escaped the
reproach of having defaulted on her obligations.
1t is fast becoming evident that unless there is an I'M
expected change in American policy, the end of interna-
tional debt payments is at hand. It is true that the plat
form of the Democratic party as well as that of the Re-
ubpican party in the last campaign was against debt can
collation. and that a majority of the members in congress,
of both parties, oppose cancellation. But both political
platforms favored sound money and the gold standard,
too, and we know what has happened to our financial sys-
fem during the past few months.
The acceptance of a ten per cent payment from Great
Britain, even if it is not final, undoubtedly weakens the
position of the United States in any negotiations which
are to come.
1t is to be hoped that Americans will learn a lesson from
these debt experiences. 1t will be an expensive one, but
a lesson worth while, if we can be induced to turn our
backs on alluring ventures abroad and devote our time
to building up our own country. Let it not be forgotten
that a prosperous America will be a benefit not only to
our own people but to the entire world.
One of our young newly married friends tells us that
his wife has the very last word in pajamas, which recalls
the fact that most women have the last word no matter
what they are wearing.
