G.N.SD.-The lethal rattle OF

chased for the police force which
the special session of the Louis

The weapons are for use, said
Superintendent of Police George
Reyer, in defense against heavily
armed gunmen. -,
But, said Mr.. Reyer, they will
make it possible for the police

LET DIPLOMATS PROTEST

IT is not exactly surprising that a number
L. of foreign governments have issued pro-
tests against the revelations that have been
made before the senate munitions Investigate
ing committee. Witnesses have shown how
statesmen worked hand in glove with NUM-
tons firms. how highly placed politicians IN
various lands took brides. and how very ex-
allied personages were not above playing the
game for the ornaments makers.
The protests. then, are only natural; but
they are not. after all, any skin OF the hides
of the senate investigators.
The American people want to know all
they can about the devious ms and outs Of
this rather shocking traffic. The senators are
doing a fine job of finding out for them. If
the revelations pain important people. at home
and ~abroad-wel, that's just too bad.

WITH HANDS

TINE Huey Long war in New Orleans has a
number of interesting, not to say bizarre,
angles. but one thing that impresses a casual
observer is the thought that there is a good
deal of wrong on both sides.
Testimony available to date seems to lndl-
cate pretty clearly that may of the Kinghsh's
charges about vice and graft conditions in
New Orleans are perfectly true. The town
has been more or less open" for years; and
whenever an American city is that way, a GER
tain amount of corruption is inevitable.
That much being admitted, the fact re-
mains that the role of crusader is hardly one
that is becoming to Senator Long.
New Orleans may need a cleanup, but to
find the Kingfsh doing the cleaning is to hear
a sour note being sounded.

OUR LIBERTY

This is certainly true enough. and it is a
wise and beneficial thing for US to set aside
one cay every year as Constitution day"
But the school children and we older folk
are alike in one thing-we seldom bother 70
read this document TO which We do homage.
Our observance Of the day ought TO begin
with that. For it is only by studying the
Constitution. and seeing precisely what it does
and does not say. that We can begin 70 under
stand what a stalwart bulvsrk Of human lib
erty t really Is.

THOSE LIQUOR PROFITS

TN the first six months OF this year, one large
l. d~istilling company To- a profit Of
s4272. SGT, equivalent to s4O7 per share on S.
par value stock.
Another large company, which has not yet
made public its s~emi-annual report, indicated
in its first quarter report that it would show
for the half-year a profit of about $780, 900,
equivalent to s2.7O a share.
Such enormous profits would seem to refute
the arguments which we. and others, have
been making against the high federal and
state liquor taxes. 1t is logical to argue that
the distillers should first curtail their profits
before asking the government to reduce taxes
to aid them in competing with bootleggers.
But these two companies happened to have
almost a monopoly on the aged whisky in this
country at the time of repeal, and made a
substantial portion of their profits by selling
that scarce commodity to consumers at ex-
orbitant prices and to r~ectifers and other dis
tillers who had to have it for blending pur-
poses.
clusion, it is that the government should
hasten to tear dow the S5-a-gallon tariff bar
that is preventing the competitive importa-
ton of the surplus aged WHISTLES in other
countries and making such outlandish profits
here possible.

STATES MUST HELP

TINE Washington administration warns that
l. state governments must continue to carry
their share of the unemployment relief burden,
despite the huge sums that the federal gov
eminent is spending.
Because of the size of the federal unem-
ployment relief budget, there has been a ten
dency in some states to relax and let Uncle
Sam do it all. A more disastrous way of meet
ing the situation could hardly be imagined.
The federal government has extended its
power in the last year or two to an extent pre-
viously undreamed Of. If the states are to
abdicate in the field of relief Of their W dis
tressed citizens, this growing liberalization
of the nation will be tremendously accelerated.
In addition, the strain on the federal budget
will be pushed just that much nearer to the
breaking point.

PRISON POPULATION

THE federal prison population declined
$500 in the last year. Acknowledgement
Cummings said in his latest report. The de-
cline was due to the removal by repeal of the
numerous liquor prohibition statues.
But Mr.. Cummings. who perhaps was fear
ful that congress may reduce appropriations for
prison upkeep. fastened TO qualify the an
nouncement by saying he believed that the
prison population probably would be brought
back to he former high level in a few years by
arrest OF v~iolators Of internal revenue liquor
laws.
One is almost led TO conclude. from Mr..
Cummings statistics. that the revenue agents
are not yet on the job. But surely they Will
be soon. for the federal liquor snooper force
is bsing built up toward the prohibition peak.
This is necessary. it seems. because high liquor
taxes have continued bootlegging as a profta-
bic business. The high taxes were not neces-
sary. It is probabls that the governments
liquor revenue would be greater were the
taxes lower.

UNDER t CONTROL

IT is reported that the federal trade COM
l. mission is about to urge congress to give
serious consideration to the federal licensing
or incorporation Of public utility holding
companies: and if such recommendation is
made. congress would be well advised to follow
it very promptly.
Here is a reform that is long overdue.
It became obvious, some time ago, that
the private citizen must have some sort OF
protection in the public utilities field. State
regulatory bodies were set up everywhere TO
provide such protection; and it became
apparent that there were many far-fung
firms they could not reach, a federal regu-
latory body was also instituted.
But the holding company frequently evades
both federal and state regulation. Putting
it under either a federal charter or a federal
license would make it directly responsible to
the government. A consideration OF the dis
closures made in the public utility field in re-
cent years suggests that his would be. dis
tinctly. a step forward.
