AIilwaukee's homicide squad is beginning to
get rusty from sheer idleneSS: In the first six

Christmas even. 1884. There we're only II kill

Milwaukee, only two remain unsolved.
When you recollect that Milwaukee is

that efficient prompt, and relentless law en-
forcement which actually keeps crime from

EAR FROM A UNIT

THE Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee does the nation service by pointing out
that under our present laws only part of our
transportation system is subject to Federal
regulation. although the system as a whole
should be a unit.
It makes this comment in its report on the
Eastman bill. which would vest regulation Of
water transport with the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Quite properly, the committee remarks that
the present situation is chaotic and can not
continue. The railroads are subject to the
strictest sort Of Federal oversight; buses.
trucks and steamship Lines are subject to little,
II any.
Would not the country's industrial struc-
ture be more healthy if all our transporta-
ton agencies were subject to the same sort Of
regulation. with the greatest good for the
greatest number the guiding light for the reg
ulatorS?

GOOD SENSE ON WAR

OLD smedley Butler. former commandant
~ of the United States Marines, speaks out
of turn every now and then and sometimes
impresses his fellow-countrymen as a bit of a
nuisance.
But by the same token he gives them
something to think about, every so often; and
his latest outburst-on war. the way it gets
started, and the people who have to take the
rap for its something worth listening to.
Rep. Louis Ludlow of Indiana is sponsoring
a constitutional amendment which would pre-
vent the United States from going to war lex
cept in case Of actual invasion by a foreign
power) until a nationwide referendum had
been held.
It is Gen. Buffers idea that such law
would have kept us out Of the last war and
would serve to keep us out of many more wars
in the future.
4 have spent my life fighting foreign wars
for the United States" he says. 1T is true
Jhat most of these wars were never declared,
but nevertheless good American boys were
killed in them. fought such undeclared wars
in Mexico, Cuba. santo Domingo. Haiti and
Nicaragua.
In fact, the only time a government de-
clares war is when it wants to mobilize finan-
ces and conscript men. That was the case in
the Wall Street World War. They only had
$4,000 volunteers in 26 days, so they had to
draft the men to fight"
And then the general goes on to support
the proposal that Americans be forbidden to
travel through war zones.
"Of course they have the right to do so the
oretically, but they should be prevented from
being such FOOLS" he says. War is pestilence
and the war zones should be quarantined. That
means that not only Americans should not be
allowed to enter there. but all trade should be
banned with both sides. Then we would never
be dragged in.
When I was police commissioner of Phila-
delphia we put a Gordon of police around fires.
You might say people had a right to rush into
the flames-but we kept them from it."
All Of this sounds very much like good, or
binary common sense. After all, it is the plain
man who has to do the fighting and stand all
the grief when war comes.
He doesn't object to it, if the cause is just
and the reasons for war are sufficient; but he
Is entitled to De satisfied that such is the case
before the higher-ups put the yoke on his
shoulders.
He would view the future with much less
uneasiness if he knew. first, that he wasn't be-
ing dragged into war TO save somebody's bust
ness deals. and. second that no war could come
until he had a chance to express himself on it.

THE YOUTH PROGRAM

or all his relief undertakings few will be
- more widely cheered than President
Roosevelt's new national youth program.
ALLEGATION Of s5O,oOO,OO0 from the work re-
lief war chest should open opportunities to
half-million young men and women between
16 and 25. Considering the conditions con-
fronting youth today it is a modest sum.
For five years Americas youth movement"
has been a pathetic milling about of millions
OF eager youngsters begging for the chance to
work. The government and the states tried
to save them from soup kitchens, hobo jungles,
detention homes and jails. But their efforts
touched a relative few.
The wonder IS" Katharine Lenroot of the
Childrens Bureau said, mot that crime chal-
lenges our attention. but rather that the vast
majority Of young men and women are so
laW-abiding."
Wisely. therefore. the President has acted.
The yield on this investment should indeed
be high
The choice OF administrators, Miss jose
phine Roche and Aubrey Williams, is also
wise. Both nave heads and hearts for the
adventure.

UNWARRANTED SCARE

A NEWS photo recently published shows the
four-masted Japanese bark Nippon
Maru, entering San Diego harbor bearing
students from nine Japanese colleges The
students are on training cruise, and are
stopping off to have look at the California
Pacific exposition.
And glance at the photo sets one think
ing, somehow.
San Diego is one of our great naval bases
These japanese cadets had ample opportunity
to get complete look at it. If, by this time,
they haven't got pretty exact idea of the
layout there they must be binder than any
future sea captain has any business being.
That being the case, why should we get so
excited about a spy scare" every time some
japanese with a camera is caught somewhere
near one of our military establishments? If
a whole boatload of future japanese naval
officers can enter one Of our great naval bases
as honored guests, isn't our whole fear of the
damage japanese spies may do considerably
exaggerated?
And, by the same token, can't the Japanese
restrain their own frantic fear of American
tourists who are so misguided as to carry
cameras with them?
