STOPGAP

We are not so worldly-wise as to believe that
gangsters under 16 may be reformed any more
surely than gangsters 16 by being imprisoned
for a few days or weeks months in more COM
Portable quarters than they are used to at home.
We recognize, of course, the immediate need fer
place to detan juveniles, at least until the court
can hear the charges against them and We recall
the existence of law to the effect that such a
place shall be provided.
But DIR. A. A. Barron, neuropsychiatrist, was
saying in yesterdays News that the fear of pul,-
ishment is powerful factor in curbing unsocial
impulses, and why should boys tough enough to
dare the police do their damnest fear the mild
punishment of confinement?
1t is going to take more than a municipal board
ing house to curb the recklessness Of these wild
things and convert their energy for wrongdoing
into more profitable and agreeable channels.
Whether it be thrashings or castor oil or what is
for the specialists to say, but we cannot withhold
the suggestion that month or so in the stiffness
of the country with tasks to be done and routine
to be observed, would work wonders in juvenile
transformations.
In any case, we are sticking to our story that
the simple providing of detention quarters will put
better face on the matter but will not go to its
roots.-Charlotte News.

THE scoURGE OF pRoUTH

Not for fifty years has the United States seen
such plague of drouth. Old people in this part
of the country used to talk about the terrible two
or three years of drouth about 1S45.
/. Hardly outside Old Testament narrative can We
find record of such scourges of dryness. "And
there was famine in the land" The only reason
there is not famine in our own Northwest today,
Staying tens of thousands, is because of facili-
ties of transportation and food storage. In olden
times men starved, though there was plenty few
hundred miles away. Jacobs sending his sons down
into Egypt to buy corn was an unusual and dra-
matte, desperate, enterprise; but today road
and rails make the mutual relief of sections mat
ter of course
1t is an old saying that the world is always
within IL months of starvation. Conditions today
impress upon the mind how much nearer a good
part of the world can be.-The Newberry IS. c.

HAVANA, Oct. although the
nation wide general strike called by
the Communist Party of Cuba and
the National Confederation Of Cuba
was scheduled for midnight, tens Of
thousands are already out through
out the island.
The stoppage is complete in San
tiago. Telephone and telegraph
lines are deserted and bus lines even
in the interior are paralyzed. In
spite of the troops patrolling the
streets, soldiers who attempt to run
the street cars are treated as scaos
by the workers.
All sugar centrals in Guantanamo
region ard the Central Gomez Mena
are out on strike.
Pressure among the masses for a
general strike is so great that the
reactionary leaders of power and
light, street cars and water supply
workers have been forced to de-
clare for stoppage.
The striking of the Havana Port
workers, as well as the workers n
all public utilities, transportation
and newspapers, is certain.
Since the masses see in the general
strike a blow at the government,
popular enthusiasm is growing to

military training refused to join the

In Turin the participants in the
preliminary military training made
unanimous demonstration, forcing
the authorities to accede to their
demand for free underwear. In an
other town the young men under
going this training refused to march
to a distant drill ground, and then
arrived there by agreement one hour

Reported
Nazis Increase Death
Verdicts AS Court
Speeds Case

PARIS, Oct. 7. - The trial of
Ernst Thaelmann, who has been in
fascist dungeon since the advent
of Hitler to power, has been def
nitely set for Oct. Is, according to
a report of the Legal Commission
of the International Committee for
the Freedom of Thaelmann and All
AntiFascists, just issued here.
In the report it is emphasized
that in spite of the numerous con-
Trajectory announcements coming
from official Nazi sources, no state
ment has been forthcoming con-
corning the grounds for accusation
or any guarantee of free choice
of defense counsel.
In connection with the emergency
of the situation the Legal Com
mission is keenfy aware that the So
called Peoples Court" is ever in
flicting harsher penalties as time
goes on. In the last few days four
executions have been recorded.
Ernst Torgler, who by every legal
formality has been pronounced free,
is still held imprisoned.
The Legal Commission voted to
support. with all the means at its
command, the approaching Con-
ference of International Jurists,
scheduled for October; its entire
material will be at the disposal of
the Conference as well as of the in
ternational public.
The report carried the signatures
of Is famous lawyers.
