Peace and the Arms Traffic

Continued From First Page)
act in a certain way Congress should,
1 believe, deal with the specific case
just as it has now dealt with the
question of arms shipments to the
participants in the Chaco fight. II,
then, the grave question arose as to
whether munitions should be fur
nished to only one of two belliger-
entS. Congress would be compelled to
deal with it. This obviously should
be the case, since such an act would,
except in the case of very weak ma
tions, be likely to lead to war.
Aggressor Will Be Defined.
The time may come when the world
will discover the infallible definition
of an aggressor. and when that time
comes we should have to join with
the other nations of the earth in an
agreement to treat the guilty party
differently from the innocent. But
such an infallible definition seems
impossible at present. Even the SIM
plest and clearest yet devised-that
OAAC oSS 40 Vic pal W WllCll Will
not submit to bitration-is open to
numberless objections.
If, then. it is true that a firm in
ternational agreement to restrict the
traffic in arms would make war a
little more difficult, as I think it
would. and if it is also true, as I
believe, that the difficulties facing
any attempt to differentiate between
contestants in the sale of arms are
lnsurmountable. may it not be that
the whole matter should be attacked
from different angle?
Why do we not get away from the
political angle altogether and state
the case quite frankly: Here is a
business which in itself is entirely
legitimate. 1t leads, however, as we
very well know, to crime, to endless
human misery. to war. if the distribu-
ton and in some cases the output is
not rigidly controlled"
In other words, is not the best way
to strike at the source? The imme-
diate answer to this suggestion is.
of course, You will be striking at
a legitimate business on which thou
sands depend" The answer to this is
also obvious that the business is legit-
innate only in so far as the output Is
used for legitimate purposes.
The manufacture of narcotics is, in
itself, an honorable business because
narcotics are widely and beneficently
used in medicine; but the manufac-
turer of narcotic drugs who permits
his products to get into the illicit

the various denominations of cur
rency. Another Is to note whether
each bill is clear cut, as always is the
case from a steel engraving, or
whether it Is of off color or glossy, as
is the case in almost any photo
graphic process. Such precautions
would materially impede counter
feiters even though they would not
result in detecting the more perfect

increase in the number of counter
observation-disclosures soon learned to
use spurious money to purchase liquor
Printing presses were used simul-
taneously to turn out counterfeit
currency and forged labels to go on
the bottles. The bootlegger and the
counterfeiter combined forces, some
times by design and sometimes un-
knowingly, to distribute their Illicit
wares among the people who made
their purchases by the quart, gallon
or case with real money.
Prohibition Brought Increase.
Prior to the prohibition era there
was relatively little change in the
number of counterfeiters from year to
year. Then, as bootlegging increased,
the counterfeiting curve on the crime
charts went gradually upward.
The most spectacular rise has
occurred in the last five years. The
end of prohibition perhaps has turned
many bootleggers to counterfeiting, as
it has turned them to kidnapping.
After making easy money" for more
than a decade, they have no inclina-
ton to go back to hard, legitimate
work.
AS prohibition and the depression
have brought this unexampled in
crease in counterfeiting, so the auto
mobile has become the greatest means
for distributing the fake money. Dis
tributors will go from place to place
with their currency and coins. They
stop at garage for gas, at a wayside
inn for lunch, make purchases at a
city or town en- route, pay the over
night bill at a hotel. In these and
many other ways they pass the
queer"
This has been proved time and
again by the investigations of the
Secret Service. That organization re-
ceives report that a bad bill has
turned up in some community, but
the distributor long since has de-
parted. By the time the Government
operative has reached the scene
another report has come in from some
community many miles distant. The
investigator must follow a trackleSS
trail to get his manor woman, per-
haps, for both sexes engage in this
practice.
PerpetratOr Always Caught.
More often than not the receiver
of the counterfeit money has no idea
who gave it to him; he recalls neither
the personal appearance of the dis
tributor nor the make of the auto
mobile he was using. However. by
means best known to the secret serv-
ice, the perpetrator is run down. Some

Truth to tell, Larry was loath to do
anything just now to disturb the
happy tenor of the days. The little

of the future became the star to which
Rose hitched the wagon of her

But if Miss Abby did buy the sweet

CHILDREN'S PLAY.

"The Pig Prince" as presented by
the Saturday class of the Children S
Studio Saturday afternoon at Pierce
Hall. proved an enjoyable hour OF
entertainment. The play was written
especially for young people by Louise
Ayres Garnett, and the manner in
which this group of children portrayed
it indicates the author knows the cor
rect. subject and treatment of a play
for children. The little players took
the stage and offered portrayals
which spoke well for their training,
talent and their application of both.
The players, none over II years old,
were Doris Sirota, the king; Marilyn
Shapiro. the queen; Zelda Diamond,
the prince; Elizabeth Epstein, the
maid; Evelyn Cohen, the page; Shir-
ley DinowitZer the tutor. and Martin

GAYETY ENDS SEASON
WITH GOOD BURLESQUE
Jimmie Lake Produces His Last
Show Until Next Fall.
Comedians Shine.

For the Gayety,s final week Jimmie
Lake has gathered together a we'll
rounded cast of burlesque entertainers.
The cast is replete with better come
dians. Leading for honors is Hap
Fryer, about whom few words are
necessary. He is we'll known to local
fans, and his obstreperous clowning
has the audience laughing long and
loud whenever he occupies the stage.
Johnny Crosby and Max Furman are
others whose comedy aim Is accurate.
The clowns are aided and abetted by
a pair of straight men who are just
about the most able performers in the
show. James x. Francis. one OF them,
has not been seen here for about
seven years, mainly because, once he
is obtained by any theater, he stays
The other Is Johnny Cook, who both
sings several songs well and performs
to advantage in q number of the
comedy skits. Four of these men
Fryer, Crosby, Francis and Cook. dc
a quartet number which, though ii
may have been seen before, is hilari-
GUS. Milt Bronson contributes other
vocal offerings, and does a difficult
Russian dance with apparent, though
certainly not actual, ease.
Rita Zane is the featured speciality
dancer, and her offerings are well
worth being featured. Lillian Har-
rison and Mary Brown are two others
whose efforts are well liked Iilian's
slow numbers being especially good
Evelyn Murray is that burlesque
rarity, a speciality dancer who can
almost dance, but she is not much
help in the comedy skits. Boots
Rush assumes the feminine singing
lead and works with the comedians
Frank Bryants staging deserves
praise. The chorus and ballet num-
bers have been effectively planned and
are well performed. Altogether. 1t Is
a well balanced show, rating high in
entertainment value. H. M.
