UNIFIED POLICE ACTION

A TTORNEY- GENERAL CUMMINGS has
n announced his intention to call con-
ference in December to bring about better
cooperation among local, state and federal
authorities toward the prevention and detec-
ton Of crime. Representatives of organiza-
tons interested in this work will be invited,
and at least the beginning Of unified action on
the part of local, state and federal authorities
may be expected.
The effort is highly commendable, if it
does nothing more than break up the jealousies
and personal distrust that exist among the
various crime detecting agencies.
Senator Copeland of New York, whose bill
would provide for additional department Of
justice agents to cooperate with local police,
put the idea frankly when he told assembled
police chiefs at Washington that local officers
are not always willing to receive federal officers
and they (the federal agents. are sometimes
looked upon as interlopers."
1t is unfortunate that this should be so, for
more than once has it been proven that every
police division has something it can give to-
ward solution of crime, and that the surest
and quickest means Of such solution is unstint-
ing cooperation.
The Lindbergh case is an excellent ex-
ample. How far could the New Jersey state
authorities, let us say. have gone with this
perplexing problem had they been left alone
to solve it? What could the federal agents
have done without the aid of the New York
and New Jersey officials? And what could we
have expected from three separate investi-
eating units, each running down clews con-
fined to its own bailiwck in its own private
way?
Dillinger and his gangsters were run down
and cornered in the same way--through CO.
operation of federal and local authorities to-
ward a common goal.
Furthermore, Attorney-General Cummings
points out that this sort Of cooperation, effec-
tive as it is in itself, can produce even more
certain results for the common good, if citi-
zens interested themselves more in such work
and saw to it that no subversive influences be
brought to bear against the work of the GRIM
inal authorities.
Police departments, he says, should be re-
moved from the 'malign and disintegrating
activities of partisan politics.
Their efforts should not be frustrated by
designing politicians and lawyers who have
contact with the criminal element he adds.
So that when all crime detecting agencies
are encouraged to work together, it is up to
us to see that they do so without interference.

INDIvIDUALISTS IN MEDICINE

in the councils at Washington through the
twelve years preceding 1888. the promises of
national reforms on which they propose to
wage the state campaign are strange.
They want a stronger banking system:
presumably somewhat different from the
banking system with which the Republican
leaders we're satisfied up until the collapse
of February March. 1888. They want a
stronger federal reserve system, free from
politics: presumably different from the system
that piped the nations credit into Wall Street
in the Coolidge era. They want to recapture
foreign markets for American farm products,
but neglect to say whether they still subscribe
to the smoot- Hawley tariff philosophy that
destroyed those markets.
They want the people to give the govern
ment back to them so they can do many
other things they didn't want to do in the
twelve years preceding 1888.
1t is for the voters to decide whether their
conversion is too late and too meager.

For the l7Oos DR.. James Graham certainly
was modern. He foresaw the future ard ap-

But if some good member of the Indiana
State Medical Association got out and stumped

raising themselves in questioning or disap-

ASSERTS BUSINESS CAN
RESTORE PROSPERITY

By Charles F. Rheim.
A short time ago I offered work
consisting of odd jobs to a man
whom I knew had been unemployed
for a long time. He refused my Of
fer and when questioned, replied:
Things are different now. If
take the job will be taken off the
relief roll You know that today
only fools and mules work, and even
the mules turn their backs to it."
When a country gets in such
shape, because Of government pol
icy, it is time for the administration
to reverse itself. Nothing short of
restoring complete confidence can
bring back the lost morale of the
people, particularly the unemployed.
To do this, the government must re-
move the present restrictions on
business. and business will show the
government and the people how
very easy it is to bring back pros
perity.

NATIONS IN DEBT

DRESENT financial troubles of the League
l. of Nations reflect the sorry plight of an
agency on which the world once was asked to
depend for peace and good will.
According to a report by subcommittee
of the league. of more than 100000 gold
francs due as this years subscriptions, more
than 100000 is still to be collected. Out
of the fifty-seven member nations, only twelve
are listed as having paid their dues in full
Adding the arrears of member nations, from
previous years, the leagues finances are behind
nearly 37,5OO,OOO gold francs.
And until that's collected, you can hardly
blame Senator Borah for insisting that the
United States stay aloof from the League OF
Nations. We've had our experience with
World war debts.

OPPOSES LOW WAGES
AS ECONOMIC AID

BY Times Reader.
A contributor to this department
advocates net paying labor more
wages, as that discourages capital
by reducing profits. He advocates
more encouragement to business to
make profits. Perhaps every worker
should work for Is cents day
from now on, in order to insure
business about 900 per cent profit.
No thinking person begrudgeS a
company or an individual profit
as long as it is fair and is not
made by taking advantage of those
employed.
The old order most certainly had
fair trial for many years, while
the New Deal has not yet had
quite two-year run. Those who
cry loudest against RECOMMENDATION
and the like are those selfish indi-
viduals who have too much of ev-
erything and hate to think of los
ing even a small portion of 1t.
AS a noted educator put it, after
a trip to Russia
What we need in America is a
greater love for America, love
great enough to make those of us
who have a great deal willing to
share a portion of it with others
who have not been so fortunate"

That is the same story Senator

Capital Capers
BY GEORGE ABEL

dump, laxative Mr.. Spruille Braden, the
wealthy New York business who tried
so hard to become ambassador to Chile is again
buzzing about Washington seeking some kind
of a Latin American job.
He has, in fact, just found one. After much
discussion, the Pan-American Union has named
Spruille chairman of the newly organized Inter
American commercial arbitration commission.
Headquarters will be conveniently located in
Manhattan so Chairman Braden will not be
forced to travel all the way to the capital when
he calls meeting.
Temporarily the indefatigabe New Yorker
is appeased, but he still is DESTROYS of a bigger
and better job somewhere in Latin America
All the Central and South American diplomats
in Washington are familiar with Spruilles tao
tics. For a matter of many months his face
habitualy ornamented every cocktail party and
formal dinner at the Chilean embassy.
Failure to get the Chilean appointment was
blow, but Spruille persisted CALAMITY and was
rewarded by being named delegate to the
Montevideo conference. Since that position
paid only Sc day and normal expenses were
about SIS day. Spruile seemed an ideal choice.
1t was difficult to find any one who wanted the
honor.
Diplomats jokingly refer to Spruille as "Mr.
Ambassador" but that gentleman wants to have
the title in a very serious way.

Rex Tugwen to Europa move which caused
speculation among officials.
Did Mr.. Tugwell go to Europe in order to be
absent during the autumn campaigning?" he
was asked directly
Painstakingly Secretary Wallace pointed out
that Tugwell had gone overseas to attend the
meeting of the International Institute OF Agri-
culture in Rome. There was some question OF
expense, and he had almost decided not to go.
Then, the American agricultural representative
in Rome insisted that Tugwell attend in order
to strengthen American representation.
Weird stories that have appeared in western
newspapers about farmers who have increased
earnings by cutting production were branded by
Wallace as a preposterous hoax"
The writer's of these stories" he said grimly,
should have forehead examination"

ACCUSES ROOSEVELT
OF INSINCERITY
Nv william S. Ashford.

By william S. Ashford.
The recent communication 10 Inc
Times from C. F. Ward, asking why
the Republicans did not protest
against the New Deal and the &C
tions of President Roosevelt, is
typical of what might be expected
from a 4-year-old boy, provided, OF
course. that a 4-year-old boy could
write. Certainly 6-year-old child
would be too intelligent to ask sucn
question.
In the first place, neither the Re
publicans nor any one else had the
Slightest inkling of what would &C
tuallv take place. If they had, even
the majority of the Democrats
would have voted against it. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was swept into
office by a tidal wave Of enthusiasm
which was only natural with the
opposition party in power in the
midst of worldwide depression.
The Democratic platform pledges
and Mr.. Roosevelts own promises
were both sound and reassuring.
Who could know that the President
would not only repudiate the entire
Democratic platform and complete
" ignore his own prediction
promises, but would even attempt
to evade the Constitution that he
had sworn to preserve and defend?
Never before have We had a high
official who was so insincere and
who so completely diSregarded his
own promises.
There always has been tradition
that every man who has filed the
Office of President of the United
States has been worthy OF that
office and the honor that was be-
slowed upon him. That tradition
has been rudely shaken. 1t will re-
quire a long time for the presi-
dental Office to regain the dignity

being an employed married woman,
I was much interested. However,
when I saw the types who were
picked from the crowd to answer
questions of the broadcast conduc-
tor, I was just amused and then
very angry.
Tittering old maids, hard-boiled
middle-aged girls" who no doubt,
were holding good jobs at the same
time being kept by some sanctimo-
NOUS business maxwell, suppose
they earn their money; matronly
women with nothing to do but come
downtown to spend their husbands
money; looking laborers or
buns who haven't any way of know
ing all the problems confronting an
employed married woman, who
works from necessity and not
choice in order to keep from be-
coming just another divorce, and
hard-boiled girls"
The broadcast was conducted In
such manner that the answer
would be obvious and all for a glass
of beer. Well, a civilization has
been betrayed for less.
In the name of everything that is
respectable why pick on the mar
ried women?
There are thousands of girls in
this city living with parents who are
well able to provide the best of
everything for them, even girls with
very wealthy families, holding the
best of jobs and nothing is ever
said about that.
But a married woman who tries to
have a respectable home, keep the
same decent standard of living she
always has been accustomed to, even
though she may have a husband
who, because of the late disruption,
works not at all or only part time,
she is to be condemned by those
persons who have nothing to do
but make trouble for somebody else.
It makes me want to throw bricks.
and hope I don't happen to be
around If another broadcast such as
that one is conducted.
