They Like EN- Lmid

IF newspaper creates prejudice against de-
PENDANT that prejudice may be only partial off,
set against the prejudice which his attorney may Gre
ate in his favor through tricks of the courtroom or
the law which have nothing to do with the evidence
The phrase "lurid and sensational" is an easy and
familiar one, often used against the newspapers But
crime is uTid and sensational and the truth is that
most successful criminal lawyers love their lurdness
and senSatlonallSm. The best criminal lawyers are
actors we'll as attorneys and they cultivate the ac-
quaintance of newspaper people around the court
house and promote rid and sensational stories about
their clients
1t is unfortunate that the government among its
other generostieS does not establish some fund to
pay the lawyers for the defense all criminal cases
Under this condition. the counsel for the defense
would not be in the position of partner in the pro-
ceeds OF his clients crime But matters stand now
II rackeeer or banker goes to trial the attorneys
pay comes out of the money which the client ex-
torted or stole. And the fee is not based on the
value of his time and services but on the clients
ability to pay.
When the attorney goes into court to defend
racketeer for example, the relation between them re-
qureS that the racketeer tell his counsel the whole
truth about his activities Otherwise the attorney
might be caught by surprise and defeated The truth
then must convince any but an attorney that the
clients money was dishonesty come by and consists
IN blunt language, of loot. Any one who knowingly
receives stolen property regarded as low characef

These Maize Attorneys

SOPHISTICATED as they are, attorneys also are
~ amazingly naive about some things. They do not
consider that the fee raised by client with no other
occupation but crime could have been derived from
criminal activities.

clients have included many distinguished offenders,
prefers to believe that counsel fees are raised by
voluntary subscription among the loving neighborS
and friends of the accused The accused Mr.. Stew

when they are released bail thanks to the inter-
Venton OF the criminal lawyer. they do not dare

MRS. DALI is the sort of young
1V1 woman who chooses a table
to sit on even when there are
plenty of chairs. She is as unself-
conscious as she is informal
When she thinks about it,
though, she actually tries to make
herself inconSpicuous in order not
to attract attention. Only her
methods are usually so spectacular
that people only look at her the
more.
There was the classic time, for
instance, that, needing to speak
to her mother on matter of i'm
portance, she appeared on her
hands and knees from round a
screen at Mrs. Roosevelt's side
during a conference the latter was
holding with group of women
in the upper hall of the White
House.
The conferees first were amazed
and then amused, but Anna never
even thought that she was being
unconventional.
1t is this unstudied quality
which makes her movements so
interesting to watch. 1t is one
reason why Washington will be
waiting eagerly in the months to
come to see what Anna Roosevelt

the fact is that an aggressive rev.

The crisis itself will continue

that is achieved the old rivalries

She is a good mother and abso-
lutely sincere in her avowed wish
to keep the children from getting
the idea that they are important.
She even had hoped that they
need never realize that their
adored pops was President Of the
United States.
Not so long ago, she had Sistie
and Buzzie out in her battered
automobile-left to her own de-
vices, she drives a secondhand
f1ivver at as high speed as the
law allows. The party drew up
before a shop and a curious crowd
gathered to stare.
Sistie said, Mother, they're all
looking at us. Why are they?"
Mrs. Dali gave some off-hand an
swer and they drove on home.
Sistie waited until her mother
went into the house, then asked
her friend the White House door,
man, why do people look at
us?"

The British, for the present,
have suspended their traditional
policy, which is to maintain peace
on the continent by a balance of
power, and have adopted the fun
damental French thesis of peace
maintained by the united and
overwhelming power of the ma
tionS satisfied with the status quo.
The outward sign of this change
was the decision in London to
advise Germany to sign M. Bar
thou'S so-called Eastern Locarno
pact.
The signature of this pact by
Germany would be tantamount to
a public remuneration of the whole
Nazi foreign policy. 1t would be
equivalent to Hitler's indorsing,
with his own signature, the terri
torial clauses Of the Treaty of
Versailles.
TINE causes of this change Of
l. British policy are evident
enough.
Some months ago, when the
Nazis decided to build up a great
air force, they did exactly what
the kaiser had done in the years
before the great war; they touched
the most sensitive nerve of Brit
ish policy.
AS long as Germany was talking
only about tanks and machine
guns it was easy for the British
government to Sympathize with
the abstract justice of Germany's
claim to ornaments and to feel
detached and critical about
French resistance.
Tanks and artillery can not
swim or fly the English channel.
But an air force is for Britain a
wholly different matter, and once
Goering went to work to create an
air force, support of Germany in
the higher circles of the British
government disappeared
Immediately the British govern
ment Endorsed M. Barthou's pacts
and announced that it would
double its own air force. Since
both decisions we're applauded IN
France, there can be no doubt
that Britains air policy is con-
cerned with Germany.
TINE British action had a pro-
Il found effect in Italy. For in
the long run it is an axiom of
European politics that Italy must
take her stand on the same side
with the British. When Britain
was pursuing a balance Of power
policy, Italy could pursue it.
But not when Britain abandons
it. Italy is for all practical pur-
poses an island and its ultimate
security depends upon not run
ming counter to British sea power.
Italy, however, had a vital rea-
son of her own for coming TO the
same decision as the British;
namely, that peace would not be
promoted by encouraging the
arming of the Nazis or their am
bition for revision. That reas son
is Austria.
MuSsolini is an italian patriot,
and no italian. Fascist, or other
wise. would willingly permit Ger
many TO extend her power TO the
Bremen and TO press down to
Trieste ana the Adriatic. He has,
therefore, made the independence
of Austria his first concern. There
he has collided with Hitler.

nal lawyers. 1t is quite true, the committee re-
marked that some of the papers print lurid and SEN
satonal stories which tend to create an atmosphere
OF prejudice. But examination of these stories
might show that the prejudice favors the prosecution
and tends to give the law even break against the
criminal and his partner the lawyer.
The law needs any little assistance which it can
get. 1t is weak at best, having been written by
lawyers in the interest of their profession which is
allied closely to the criminal professions.

In the last year she has written
two books for children and nu-
msrous magazine articles. For
a while she even conducted an in
formal department in one maya
zine, discussing everything from
child-training to politics.
Her articles speak with great
frankness of life in the White

mother. She also has talked over
the radio for commercial con-
Germs.
NONE of these things had ever
