Mann Are Warped

I KNOW that 1t is generally believed that crime
Il may be greatly diminished If all offenders are
duly apprehended quickly placed on trial and pun
ished by death or Incarceration upon conviction.
There is very little evidence to support this
tention Certain kinds Of crime almost in
variably committed b. persons mentally warped in
way another. Most Of these deviations do
yet fall under the legal definition of insanity.
II will be useful to the community to extend the
field. One may be insane in a very definite way
and still comprehend completely the nature of his
acts.
And until We have better understanding OF the
sort of psychology which makes for certain types of
crime are in position to prevent them. Indeed
there are mental states in which the probability or
even the inevitability. of the death penalty upon
conviction acts a lure rather than a deterrent.
In this lies the real danger Of the excessive
dramatzation of murder trials. Unstable folk may
lust as readily identify themselves with criminals
as with heroes. A very small change in the thought
formula may induce certain overly plastic people TO
plav lone wolf instead of lone eagle
In the light of this belief 1 deplore the point
of view expressed a couple of days ago by Carl W.

declared that not since the World War has there
been so important Illustration of the practical

business on that basis. But where
does the nation stand in relation
to the gold standard, and where
are the corporations if nearly
two-thirds of all the debts in this
country are put back on the gold
standard?
A Supreme Court decision up
holding the gold clause would in
troduce a riddle to rival the ia
nous LADY or tiger" To most
business men it would sum up:
Are we on gold, or off gold, or
where are we, anyway?
If the court does uphold the
gold clause, business men can at
least expect quick action for re-
lief by Congress.
The Federal government must
refinance $780, 100000 of Fourth
Liberty bonds within the next few
months. If the court decides the
bonds are worth $1.69 per dollar
few holders, even the banks and
insurance companies, will be will
ing to exchange for non-gold
clause bonds. Therefore, the Con-
gress can be expected to take i'm
mediate steps to neutralize any
decision declaring abrogation of
the gold clause unconstitutional.

tai valuation of about $34,988,-
100000. The debt would be in
creased to S23, 500 100000. The an
nual interest on the debt would be
increased from about s737,000,00
to S1,645,536,00 This increase
would wipe out the estimated
S417,000,000 profit the utilities
made during 1884 and leave them
some S91, 100000 in the red.
Industrial corporations would
come off a bit better. Their pres
ent gold clause debt is about $10,-
443,000,00 on a. valuation of about
S85, 518,O00,O00, which includes
about S22, 218, 100000 surplus avail
able for emergencies. The debt
would be increased to $17,648,670,-
900.
The annual interest now runs
about S626,580,OOO. 1t would be
increased S432, 100000 to S1,O58,-
10000. The total profits made by
the industrial corporation during
1884 are difficult to estimate, but
815 made only $702,000,000. 1t is
evident what the SO per cent in
crease in annual interest require
ments would do to dividends.
The effect on corporate business
Mr.. Mack has summed up as fol-
lows: Corporations would be
forced to advance their prices. AS
a result, the disparity between
finished goods prices and farm
values, which has been narrowing
for the last year, would tend to
widen again, thereby reducing the
purchasing power of the farmer.
Such a development would restrict
demand for industrial wares, with
the result that unemployment on
a large scale would ensue."
1T would be topsy-turvy world.
Il The average investors might
assume that a decision upholding
the gold clause would make any
gold clause bond a good buy. The
oretically, the decision would make
every 500 bond worth $3.50, with
corresponding increase in the in
terest. Therefore, all bonds should
advance in the markets. Actually,
according to Mr.. Mack's studies,
many bonds would tend to de-
cline.

in Florida and the most magnificent scandal that
ever you did smell in the ever fragrant city of
Washington D. c.
the Democratic statesemn who are cross at him for
placing his whistle to his lips and blowing shrill
blasts of alarm should recognize that if the New
Deal has been kept comparatively honest during the
expenditure of more than three billion dollars,
thanks for this are due to the house dick.
One member Of Congress was much upset because
he could not get a 100000 poStof1ce in town of
500 where suitable postofice could be rented for
$40 a month, including pork. Another statesman
sent in to Mr. Ickes the names of 81 deserving DEM
ocrats Of his district for jobs in the FEFA alone.
Mr.. Ickes finally got so that, with all the work
he had to do, he couldn't be bothered or spare the
time to hold personal interviews with all the specl-
mems of political wild life who called to see him
about jobs for deserving though useless Democrats
who wished to serve their country in the crisis by
helping to spend the three billion and odd. This
afronted the dignity Of the statesmen and made
mugs of them in the eyes of their constituents back
home who naturally assumed that there would be
positions of importance, entailing good pay and
nominal duties, for and all who had voted Demo-
cratic. There is no dignity touchy as that of a
statesman and no humiliation pathetic that of

billion dollars worth of manufac-
tured goods and raw materials.
provided it received adequate cred
it facilities. That prospect has
gone by the boards, so far as
America is concerned.
DAVID OSTRINSKY, American
~ economist and student of
Russia, estimated that a Russian
market for $5,000,000,000 worth of
American goods is available during
the next decade. 1t does not seem
so now.
Russia today is at the beginning
of a program of expansion such
as the United States witnessed
after 1850. American business had
hoped to participate in this gigan-
tic development. Today that hope
exploded like a toy balloon.
France and Great Britain, on
the contrary, seem to have the in
side track. Without raising the
question of Russia's pre-war debts,
France has quietly arranged to
finance approximately s70,000,000
worth of trade with Russia. And
that may be followed by credits of
a like amount. Britain, also, has
just sold 100000 worth of goods
to the Soviet Union and is angling
for more.
The collapse of Russo American
trade negotiations may have some
connection with the above. The
Export Import Bank, organized as
a Government institution express
ly to finance trade with Russia,
refused to lend Russia a nickel
until she settled with the United
States.
Beyond the fact that the Soviet
Union and the United States do
not agree, the reason for the SEN
sationally sudden collapse of ne
gotiations is still a mystery.
Plainly, arrangements which
France and Britain deemed salts
factory with Russia were not sat-
isfactory to the State Department.
Yet CZarist Russia owed Britain
and France $40 for every one she
owed this country.
The future of Soviet-American
relations is in the balance. Still
within the State Department are
the same forces which opposed
Russian recognition from the first.
What will happen, only time can
tell.
