BANQUET ADDRESS

Since The Citizen appeared on
the streets yesterday afternoon
and deliveries to the many homes
of subscribers were completed.
many queries have been received
as to statements made by Julius
F. Stone, Jr., at the banquet Sat
urday night.
Mr. Stone spoke for more than
one hour and covered many phases
Of the rehabilitation projects.
most of which have been fully
covered in previous issues of The
Citizen. from information furnish
ed through FERA headquarters.
The article appearing in the is
sue of yesterday touched on only
the highlights of Mr.. Stones talk.
the salient parts of the program
and the really essential projects
which are embodied in the pro-
gram of the administration.
There were about 100 hearers
at the banquet and they listened
with keenest attention to the talk.
They heard the words from the
lips of the administrator and only
those who were present are quail
flied to repeat what was said.
Gives Synopsis
The report appearing in these
columns yesterday gave a suecinct
synopsis of the speech and was. in
a condensed form. an accurate
summary of the speakers state
ment of those detectives which
hvae been realized and also of the
many much more important plans
and projects which are proposed
for the future.
While in Key West on this visit
Mr.. Stone made an exhaustive
study of the entire situation from
every angle and YVES in continual
conference with his staff of ex-
ecutiyes and their assistants re-
lative to the future of Key West.
The results of these confer
ences viii be known when the ac-
tivities involved are ready for an
nouneing and is said by those who
know that the projects are of
greater magnitude and cover a
wider scope than is supposed by
the most optimistic.
Very Confident
When leaving for Miami Sun
day morning Mr.. Stone was con
fident that all of his plans would
come to fruition and his idea Of
making Key West the greatest
pleasure resort in the semi-trop.
zeal zone of the United States will
be realized.
The administrator sailed on the
private yacht of Jesse Fl. Jay. 9th
ers on board were Mrs. Stone,
Mrs. Jay and Miss jessie Lee

ROME, Oct. I6.-Disarmament
talk has ceased in Italy. Premier
Mussolini and bis young men of
fascism" are setting the pace for
the armed rather than the dis
armed nation of the future.
The time has come for a return

his own words, he wants to make
Italy a "war-like and militaristie"
country.
Men of the fascist school hold
up mis- speech, made from The top
Of 8 tank at the recent army
maneuvers, as turning point in
postwar Psychology. On that oc-
ca ion he called for his new mill
tary nation.
Military Needs Put First
Only the old democratic school
is. afraid of words. his press de-
elared. "Call a spade a spade" is
the sense of its recommendation
to Italy. When some papers hesi-
tated to use the word "miIitaris-
tic" in commenting on the duce's
speech his own Popolo d'Italia
called them 10 task.
"Militaristic," it said, sis ex-
actly the word that was intended.
1t added:
Militaristic doctrines, ma
tions and peoples are those
which subordinate all their
collective and individual, ma
terial and moral life to their
military needs"
Then Mussolini proceeded to
the supreme stroke. He decreed
compulsory military service for
all Italians between the ages of 8
and 33. This is believed to be
one of the most sweeping military
laws in history.
When he is s years old the
fascist boy enters the balilla or
ganization, where he is prepared
spiritually, physically and mill
tariIy" for service in the regular
armed forces.
Tots Lug Real Rifles
The organization includes a
section called the ''balilla muske-
teers," consisting of hundreds of
thousands of tots armed with
miniature rifles which shoot and
carry bayonets. Each rifle has
stamped on it the name of an
Italian soldier who fell in the
world war.

military training, said a eommuni-

The Island of Sardinia is pro

one at Maddalena in the extreme

extreme south.
Sicily is defended by three
zones: Messina. controlling the
Straits of Messina and also ex-
tending its protection to the toe
of the mainland; Syracuse at the
southeast and Trapani at the ex-
treme west.

which, in many sections Of the country
at least, did not have the support Of
public opinion; but 1t still remains the
duty Of the Government to protect the
dry States from the illegal importation
of liquor. The Webb-Kenyon act, the
Reed amendment and the terms Of the
twenty-first amendment impose obu-
cations which cannot and should not
be avoided. This duty we accept and
intend to discharge, so far as the avail
able appropriations will permit. On De-
cember S, when the prohibition amend
ment was repealed, IL States had con-
stitutional prohibition and II more had
drastic laws preventing the sale of in
toxicants. These % States are clearly
entitled to the support Of the Federal
Government in enforcing any laws on
this subject which they may see at TO
enact.
Tax Problem Presented.
Another important matter arising
since the repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment has to do with the protec-
ton of the revenue derived from taxes
imposed upon intoxicating beverages.
This is primarily q function of the
Treasury Department, but one in which
the Department Of Justice, at the pres
CAAt tiAhC, ID NO-OpCi dOlllk. 4lllo dCtlNlty
is one Of the highest consequence.
Our people are in the midst of q
heroic effort to pull our country out Of
the depression. The Federal Govern
ment is pushing forward with its pro-
gram, eliminating costly and unfair
trade practices, upholding fair wages
and hours, banning child labor, aiding
the small home owner to hold his FAM
lily together under his own roof, helping
the farmer to get q fairer price for the
fruits Of his toll. employing the jobless
in public work and in relieving distress.
Fine men and women are giving their
services unselfishly to this great cause.
Revenue is needed to balance the
budget and advance the program Of re-
covery. A substantial part of the
amount needed can and should be COL
lected in the form of taxes on intoxi-
cants. If the American people, instead
of buying from bottleggers or others
who seek to defraud the Government
will purchase from qualified and law
abiding dealers they will be performing
a plain but imperative duty. Any citi-
zen who, at this hour, seeks to cheat his

have been handled successfully without
the. effective and loyal cooperation Of
the local authorities. In this instance,
as in many others, special agents of the
Division OF Investigation offered to and
received from the State authorities
wholesome, friendly and reciprocal help.
Through this policy, which Is one Of
cardinal Importance, and one upon
which we have insisted from the be-
ginning, We were able to coordinate
the activities OF the law enforcement
officials in such way that in short
time, and with the greatest economy Of
effort. the guilty parties We're brought
to justice.
Extorters Caught.
The Division of Investigation has also
been called upon to function In the en-
forcement Of the So-called extortion act,
which has for its primary purpose the
punishment of persons sending anony-
nous or unsigned communications
through the mails threatening kidnap-
ing, injury or death for the purpose of
extortion In 33 such cases. the per-
petrators have been convicted or are. in
custody awaiting trial. Twenty-nine
convictions have been secured and Is
persons are in custody. Sentences OF
imprisonment aggregating 225 years
have been imposed.
The dramatic and sensational fea-
lures usually incident to criminal cases
naturally attract a great deal Of public
attention. 1t is only fair, therefore, to
stress the fact that such matters con-
stitute but q small fraction Of the work
Of the Department of Justice.

legislation and executive orders re-
viewed, and in many other phases OF

formations, customs matters and the

this department has been called upon
in the last 10 months to undertake
hitherto unparalleled volume of work.

clogged with . type Of criminal cases
suitable only for police courts, have been
freed from distressing heritage. They
can now turn their attention to the
reform Of their cumbersome and anti
Quated procedure, so that justice may
be far swifter and far surer.

of the people, should be able to purge

bors. Disregard Of law in this matter Is
o gross breach OF faith with his fellow
citizens
Unfortunately, We are still in an era
of lawlessneSs and violence. It's mani
festations are evident to the most casual
observer. OF late there has been q
tendency on the part Of some of our
people to countenance the actions of
mobs that have taken into their own
hands the punishment and, indeed, the
murder OF persons suspected or accused
It Is unthinkable that any one in pos
session OF his faculties, who grasps the
signincance OF our heritage Of liberty,
could condone mob violence, and in
conceivable that any one familiar with
the long struggle for the establishment
Of equality before the law, and the right
OF trial by Jury, could speak without
loathing OF the inexcusable crime of
lynchtng. To break down our law is to
betray the Government and TO make
the tasks OF our law-enforcing agencies
far more difficult.
Law Is Guiding Hand.
Round about us in our civic and COM
munity life Is the bond of fraternity
the law; in our social relationships, the
bond Of fellowship-the law; in our eco
nomic and industrial activities, the es-
tablished standards Of time, of value. of
weight. Of measure-the law; in our
personal conduct, the levels of honesty,
integrity, moralty-the law, and in our
conflicts with evil and violence. there
are the protecting processes Of Justice
again the law.
All this Is lost and swallowed up in
the blood-lust and passion Of mob vio-
lence. Is 1t not time that we made
ourselves once more q Nation Of law
abiding citizens? The moment Is op-
