to come to the aid of his witness, De-
tective Sergt. John G. DaigliSh. JUS

and Everett Lee Blackwell and Albert
Ernest Cash Their trial began last
Wednesday and indications today were
that it would go to the jury Thursday.
Exclusion Move Fails.
Dalgl.sh is the homicide squad de-
tective who obtained statements from
the four defendants, admitting COM
plicity in the attempted hold-up. After
a grueling cross-eXamination by At
torney James A. O'Shea, counsel for
Cash, and a motion to exclude the
statements, which WIS overruled. the
alleged confession was presented to the
jury by Mr.. Collins.
In it, Cash told of plotting the hold
up with Blackwell and Workman and of
furnishing one CT the guns used. He
admitted transporting the two colored
men, who, it is claimed, actually staged
the hold-up. away from the scene. In
the statement, Cash said he counseled
the two coiored men against using their
guns, but that Workman told him he
was going to get the money If he had
to shoot a dozen cops"
Mr.. O'Shea had attempted to show
thai the statement was obtained
through a promise by Dalglish that he
would make it easier for Cash if he
would tell the truth"
Admits He Had No Warrant.
Through cross examination, Louis
WhiteStCne, attorney for Workman, at
tempted to show that his client was in
duced to make statement through a
similar promise. Dalglish testified
Workman was arrested during the early
morning after the killing while he was
in bed at home. The police officer said
he kicked in the door Of Workman s
home to obtain entrance. He admitted
he had no warrant.
Last Thursday, similar fight by de-
fense counsel on the statements by their
clients to police was conducted in the
absence of the jury which had been
excluded by Justice O'Donoghue.

Everyday Routine

What the world regards as a
great adventure is just every
day. routine for men of the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police
in these far North patrols. The
late Inspector Albert H. Joy,
with two companions, made a
1,50O-mile patrol through the
uninhabited Arctic archipelago.
It took them 81 days by sledge
and was considered nothing out
of the ordinary.
Only a few weeks ago the
Bache Peninsula post figured in
the news by way of Greenland.
An Eskimo arrived in Greenland
with news to be conveyed to
Commissioner McBrien of the
Royal Mounted that the three
constables up there at Bache,
on top of the world, were alive
and well. Nothing had been
heard from them for two years,
the heavy ice of last summer
having prevented the ship from
Hudson Bay reaching them.
How had they spent their
time? There was an item in
their report which told the
story. They had made a 5000
mile journey through the
wastes, searching for the Ger
man geologist, Kreuger, who
with two companions had been
up at the back of beyond
since 1929.
The Canadian government
must keep policemen in the
Arctic because the Eskimo
while ordinarily a kindly per-
son, is still living in the Stone
Age, seeing nothing wrong, for
example in suicide or in the
destruction of children when
they become a burden. The in
PRODUCTION of firearms into the
Arctic added to crimes OF
violence and to the Wanton
destruction of game and fur
bearing animals.
The Royal Canadian Mounted
Police today number 2,500 Of
ficers and men. OF course not
all are the dashing fellows we
see on magazine covers. About
one out of ten rides a horse.
Automobiles, motorcycles and
dog sledges far outnumber
horses in the service. But
young or middle-aged, tall,
short, thin or broad, they are
men of character, courage and
decision, going by the code:
uphold the right and go
wherever you are sent" They
are men!

More Than Symbol

During the next four decades
the mounted police built up a
reputation that made the force
world-famous. In those early
years, when the prairies were
absorbing a multitude of set
tiers from Europe, the mounted
policeman was more than a
symbol of law. With an uE-
canny mixture of tact and reSo-
luton, he dealt with refractory
Indians and trouble making
half breeds and with the Grim
inal elements that followed II
the wake of the settlers.
Today it is in sealskin jacket,
rather than scarlet tunic, and
in bearskin cap rather than
broad-brimmed felt sombrero,
and behind a dog team or at
the stick of an airplane rather
than on horseback, that the
Mountie performs the feats that
bring him into the news.
He is police officer, magis-
trate, coroner, marriage license
clerk, immigration inspector,
customs officer, fisheries and
game warden, administrator OF
estates, guard of criminals and
insane persons. physician to the
sick and conductor of funeral
services where there is no clergy

Garner Credit Plan Now
A Presidential Policy
BY James T. Williams, T.-

Another Hoover policy has
Just been knocked into a cooked
hat by his successor in the Presi-
dency. Another Garner proposal
has just been announced as a
Roosevelt policy.
AS a part of his three-fold
program to break the credit jam
in this country by compelling
the extension of credit on easy
terms, President Roosevelt has
directed the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation to encourage
industry to join in a coopera-
tive local movement to obtain
loans from the corporation on
sound collateral whenever and
wherever banks have been slow
to accept such collateral as a
basis of credit.
In order to obtain loans from
the corporation under this plan,
the borrowers must give assur-
ance that the accommodation
they seek is to be employed in
the stimulation of constructive
enterprise.
In other words, these borrow
ers must undertake to relend
this money to enterprises that
have adopted NRA codes and
need money to finance the ex-
pansion of their business.

All the People

When, as a result of the
White House conference, it be-
came evident that the President
and the Speaker could not agree
on this question, Mr.. Garner
was urged to yield, but he re-
fused, and addressing the Presi-
dent with great respect, said:
'eNot I, Mr.. President. Thers
is a principle inVolUed in this
that I Uill not surrender. I wiN
not surrender the principle that
ve ought to legislate for all
the people rather than for a
preferential class"
This speech of Speaker Gar
ner brought him the most
scathing criticism from the
Republican side of the House,
from the Republican press,
from Republican Senators, and
finally from the Republican
President that Mr.. Garner ever
received during his 80 years
in Congress.
In a public statement re-
iterating his objections to
Speaker Gamers appeal for
equality of credit for all Amer
leans with good collateral in
stead of limiting such credit
only to corporate wealth, Pres
ident Hoover said:
"Such an undertaking BY the
United States Government makes
the ReconstructiOn Corporation
the most gigantic banking and
p0rUnbroking business in all
history"
A lot of water has gone over
the mill since then. Mr..
Hoover is now private citizen.
Mr.. Garner is Vice President
of the United States, and his
running mate on the nation
al ticket, President Roosevelt,
proclaims the Garner proposal
as a major part of the Roose.

wallowing in regret?
No it isn't; and we shouldn't.
A certain amount of re-
morse-a decent interval Of re-
gret and confession-that's nee
essary and healthy. But after
that, look out!
FOR REMORSE CAN, AND
OFTEN DOES, SPEEDILY BE-
COME A RACKET!
Why do we ''take the blame"
and keep on taking it?
Sometimes ecauSe we are

mend our ways. But often,
there's quite a different motive.

TO SHOW OFF.
AND CONFESSING OUR

Regretting our sins can be,

act as boasting about 'em.
We can't force people to lis

praise ourselves. But every de-
cent citizen feels a moral obli-
CATION to lend a sympathetic
ear, and hand, to the fellow
who's confessing his sin. Also,
such listening tickles human
vanity-makes the decent citizen
feel that he's a Mr.. God. So, on
two counts, we're always sure
of an audience if we start Get

Yes, chronic regret is certain

yen for publicity. And it serves
an even more useful end
IT'S A PERFECT ALIBI FOR
FORM.
The immediate and necessary
step after being sorry is, OF
course, getting busy and making
good. But making good is al
ways an uncomfortable and in
convenient process. It implies
retiring from the spot light and
taking your rap; which means
plenty of humiliation and hard
work. Naturally, no lazy, cow"
ardly, conceited human being
is keen on beginning a program
like that! And so, though we
be sincerely sorry for a bad rec
ord, we like to find some scheme
whereby we can postpone start
ing a new one, and yet save our
faces.
WALLOWING IN REGRET
SERVES THAT PURPOSE PER
FECTLY.
You can postpone reform in
definitely by just talking about
it. At the same time you can
crafty your hunger for pub
lcity, alibi your laziness, and
get a vicarious kick out of re-
membering your past deViltries.
Could anything be sweeter?
Nothing could!
Nor could any habit be more
denoralizing. More good human
time and energy are wasted
more cussedness is committed
under the sacred pretence Of
remorse and grief, than in all
the crime on the police blotter.
It's as vicious to spend your
time regretting your sins as it
was to commit them originally.
In either case you waste, spoil
and sidestep life, and devote all
your attention to your own self
ish self.
If you're really sorry and
ashamed for something that
you've done, don't talk about it;

Hoover Rejects

This plan embodies the prin-
ciple which Mr.. Garner ad"
vocated as Speaker of the
House and which Mr.. Hoover as
President Indignantly rejected.
On July S, 1882, Mr.. Garner
left the Speakers chair and
took the floor to report to the
House upon a White House
conference between the Presi-
dent and the leaders of the
House.
At this conference President
Hoover had served notice that
there were certain provisions in
the Garner Bill for the relief
of unemployment and the re-
vival of business which he
could not approve. One of these
was the Garner proposal to
broaden the base of the Re-
construction Finance Corpora
ton by authorizing it to make
loans to private corporations
with adequate security in addi-
ton to loaning to banks Of all
kinds, to railroad companies
and other corporate institutions.
All that Mr.. Garner then
said as Speaker of the Demo
cratic House in refutation of
President Hoover's argument
against this proposal applies
with equal force to support the
wisdom of President Roosevelt
in adopting this proposal.
Speaking to the House with
great earnestness a year ago

then Speaker, said:

gradually eaten away the town,
so what was once a thriving
port is now more than a mile
inland, entirely away from
water. Why, the very golf
courses are laid out on what
was once the bed Of the an
cient harbor, which has been
left high and dry as the sea
receded.
The town itself is charming,
well worth visit. The great
wall that was built many CEN
turies ago to protect Sandwich
from attacks of the French, has
mostly disappeared, but some
of the defenses, such as block
houses, are still remarkably pre-
served. But although the ram
parts have long since crumbled,
their path is still easily trace
able, considering that the town
itself has scarcely gone beyond
the line of Notifications. The
maze of narrow, crooked streets.
some merely alleys or lanes, is
a fascinating one. A walk
through the jumbled streets is
an experience that should not
be foregone. There are streets
and streets of medieval half
timbered houses with jutting
upper stories that seem to have
been built without any regard
for their neighbors. The streets
all run down to what was then
the water front and harbor,
the crumbly old stone quay that
in its time was host to the
British fleet, and home port
for scores of mighty sailing
vessels.
