Civilized Society Must Speak Out

Italy threatens a war of agrees
sion waged merely for acquisition
of territory which threatens in its
implications to involve the entire
civilized world. The League of Ma
tions, the only constituted power for
the Encouragement or dissuation of
unfriendly powers from war appears
helpless to avert the approaching
catastrophe. It is generally conced-
ed by thinkers everywhere that ow-
ing to the close interlationship of
interests in the world today that the
war, insignificant in itself, may
easily eventually result in the en-
tire world being drawn into the con-
flict. Each day for weeks and
months past the press dispatches
have stated that every resource has
been exhausted and that the pre-
vention of war is now impossible.
Society and civilization has again
come to the crossroads. 1t lies in
the power of society to decide re-
CARELESS of the announcement of
the League of Nations whether or
not the world will be plunged into
another war, whether or not Italy
can set an aggressor's foot in Ethio-
pia. It is civilization that must pay
for this war and it is Civilizations
right to say whether or not it can go
on. And in view of its devastating
possibilities civilization has but one
answer, but one verdict. The war
must be stopped. It is folly to say
or think otherwise. All that is ne
cessary is for the guardian nations
of present-day civilization to unite
against Italy. If this is done there
will be no war.
Z. The time has come when civilized
society must preserve peace even
though it is necessary to resort to
arms to do it. This war if it is
fought will be an Indictment against
civilized society, not Italy. The time
has come when outlawry must be
put down among nations the same
as it is put down in communities
by the superior force Of popular de-
mand.

stock and equipment to the extent OF
between $1,000 and $4,000, it was esti-
mated today by Lewis Y. Buckingham,

The fire was discovered by Ernest

the alarm and was burned about the
arm in an attempt to fight the blaze.
He was given first aid and returned
to work today.
The damage from the blaze itself
was confined to the second floor of
the three-story brick and concrete
structure, with some additional dam
age by smoke and water on the other
floors. The top floor Is occupied by
the Donaldson Dental Manufactur-
ing Co.
Zsoldos was working alone in the
building, not long after all other en-
ployes had gone, when he smelled
smoke and discovered the flames. He
ran next door to a gasoline service
station to call for fire apparatus. The
cause of the fire was undetermined.
A large crowd gathered at the
scene. Firemen, however, soon had
the blaze under control.

WILCOX MAY HEAD
HOUSE LONG PROBE
Committee Personnel to Be
Named After Week End
Conferences.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated fresS.
Representative Wilcox, Democrat, of
Florida was expected in Capitol quar-
tiers today to head q subcommittee
which anti-Long members of Congress
will ask to investigate the louisiana
dictatorship" Of Senator Long, DEM
ocrat, OF Louisiana.
Announcement Of the subcommittee
personnel probably will be made by
Representative Granfleld, Democrat,
of Massachusetts. chairman of the
special House Elections Committee,
after week end conferences with Dem
ocratic leaders.
Wilcox was reported as having
agreed to head the subcommittee in
the event he was chosen.
Louisiana members interested in
promoting an investigation of Longs
political machine indicated they would
be satisfied with Wilcox's selection.
The five Louisiana Representatives
who recently denounced Long for his
attacks on President Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt administration have been
active in promoting the investigation
The way was opened, they declared,
when the House in the adjourning
days slid through an apparently rou-
tine resolution naming committee to
investigate campaign expenditures OF
House members.
The resolution, however, was modi-
fed to authorize the committee to act
on its own initiative.

The background of the Soviet diff
ficulty is this: Mr.. Roosevelt would
have been very glad to get out Of
Soviet recognition anywhere along the
route. Fundamentally he would like
to displease the Russians.
He is angry because they failed
to meet his good neiohbor policy.
But there are limits to phdt
Presidents can do.
The stock market has been going
down, some observers say, on thu
rumor that Chairman Kennedy Of
the S. E. c. might quit. Mr.. Kennedy
wants to. He would have retired
months ago if he could have easec
himself out Of his existing predica'
ment commonly called job.
Lately his friends in Wall Street
hare been telling him that he is
out OF place, that he should re-
tire. There has been no pressure
from the top to keep him, but he
toin be kept.

one which is free from complaint.

befuddled.
A modern criminal, moving rapidly
from city to city, has q distinct adj
vantage over local police officers who
are pursuing him. At every boundary
he is free to go ahead while police
officers have to dicker and argue and
consider legal obstacles before they
can continue the pursuit.
Again, as between States, modern
criminality knows no boundaries,
while innumerable difficulties of a
legal, political and personal nature
are thrown in the way Of agents Of
the law. Finally, as between any
State and the Federal Government,
there is further complications. Many
a promising pursuit of criminals has
been hopelessly botched by these tradi-
tional walls of jurisdiction, which
were well enough suited to SLOW
moving, rural, agricultural age, but
are anachronisms in the day of the
automobile and radio and machine
gun.
Cooperation Is Needed.
Obviously a knitting together Of
these too independent units of law
enforcement Is called for. Within
the State this means a State police
organization, as among States 1t
means regional compacts, as between
local and Federal police it means the
working out of agreements for division
Of labor and unselfish cooperation.
Greater cooperation Is also called
for in other aspects of law enforce
ment. Consider prosecuting agencies.
In each State local district attorneys
are practically independent. There
is no central oversight Of the almost
royal authority that prosecutors have
in deciding whom to prosecute and
for what. in exercising the power
to nolle PROSE- cases without rendering
account for their use or abuse of
| discretion, in accepting pleas of guilt
| to lesser offenses than those orig
inally charged in indictments and
informations, and the like.
Capitalization Required.
The remedy called for is centraliza-
ton of prosecution under the State
| attorney general, who should have
inspective and disciplinary powers to
make his oversight effective.
Another field in which greater CO.
operation is needed is that concerned
with correctional agencies. Every little
unit Of local government has its own
jail, whether this is economical or
not, and these jailS are practically
uncontrolled. If the most up-to-date,
scientific facilities are to be intro
duced into correctional regimes, CEN
traliDed control is indispensable.
So, also, every local court has
its own. independent probation service,
except in a very few places where
probation is centralized and under
/ State control.
But there is one field where CO.
