The most terrible Of frontiers Is
that between Rumania and Russia,

COMMENT

It's queer, but it's true that few
men in public life can give express
sion to what they actually believe
without being subject to flood of
unfavorable criticism. This comes
in the first place from political enc
mics whose effort it is to find gross
error in anything that originates
in the opposition camp. 1t comes
in the next place from the general
public, educated to discount any
word spoken by those in public life.
This is unfortunate for two rea-
sons. Men should not be forced
into concealing their real senti-
ment; the public should not be
taught to believe there is no de-
pendence to be placed upon the ac-
tons or words of those who repre-
sent it in high places.
Take the case of New Jerseys
governor. In his 30-day reprieve
of Hauptmann, the condemned kid
naper and murderer of the Lind
bergh baby-his political oppo-
nents call it playing politics for
self ACKNOWLEDGMENT. And the
public, quick to follow the line of
least resistance, cry amen. Few
are they who stop for serious
analysis and seek for a more logi-
cal reason for this important step.
AS a matter of fact, there are
many thousands of peoples in these
United States motivated by the
same doubts that have disturbed
the governor to the point where he
fears to allow the final action that
would forever forbid the resolving
of those doubts. Many Of those
thousands if they had the same
power and equal courage would do
just as New Jerseys governor has
done.
True it is, that not many among
the thousands believe Hauptmann
innocent, and believing him guilty
many are ready to declare he
should be put to death. But guilty
of what? He could be guilty of
much for which the law would not
impose the death penalty. This,
doubtlessly, has influenced the ac-
ton of the governor and may in
cline him to grant even further
clemency. There are many who
believe with the executive that
Hauptmann was not alone in the
commission of this crime. Perhaps
he may be induced to disclose what
he has refused thus far to tell. If
he does, his few days of reprieve
will prove worthwhile. If he does
not he dies finally; justice will be
served and the governors mind set
at ease. I could find it in my heart
to wish he was governor of Ala
bama.

ARMS INDUSTRY
 TOBE CONTROLLED

London, Oct. 31.-(UP).-Restric- tion of peace time profits for pri- vate arms manufacturers and con- Scription of tl.e entire industry in war time was recommended today b. royal commission.
 The commission opposed abolition of private manufacture of arms as undesirable, even though it might be practicable, and expressed pre- ference instead for peacetime col- l: boration with industry.
 It was the commissions view also that recent United States proposals to Geneva provided 8 good basis for regulation and control of the arms traffic.
 The most effective available means of removing or minimizing ob- jections to private manufacture and trade in arms, it was commented, would be by international agree ment. Establishment of universal system of government monopoly was held impracticable.
 It recommended restriction of r-ofits or armaments firms in peace time ito a reasonable scale of re- muneration designed not only to prevent excessive profits but to satisfy the public that excessive profits are prevented"

FIVE BUILDINGS
 ARE DESTROYED

Gloucester, Mass, Oct. 31-(UP)- Fire destroyed five buildings of the Cape Ann Anchor and Forge com- pany, damaged Boston 6 Maine railroad trestle and menaced a half million gallons of oil in nearby stor- age tanks early today. Damage was estimated at $505, ,0O0 by company officials and at $l85, 900 by fire of- ficialS. Train service was halted by destruction of large section of the 175-foot bridge, the only rail en- trance to Gloucester. Railroad of ficials said service could not be re- stored in less than three days, but that meanwhile passengers would be transferred by bus over another bridge.
 As wind-blown sparks threatened oil farms of the Gulf Refining Company and the Standard Oil Company stretch across railroad tracks opposite the Forge company, aid was called from surrounding towns.
 Because machinery at the plant was unique in the country, director Addison c. Brooks estimated dam- age at half-million. The company, manufacturing metal boat fittings and heavy castings, is the largest of its type in the country.
