Crime and Evidence.

(New York Times)
 There will be a stout legal battle over the right of a Senate committee to take possession of and use for it's own purposes certain promiscuous Vest ern Union telegrams. The intent plain enough. Senator Black and his subcommittee suspected that officials of utility companies had sent con- promising dispatches when the Holding Company Bill pending. So they subpoenaed the whole lot hoping find in it what they wanted. Lawyers at once protested that this was the method of search and seizure" forbidden by the Constitution, and obtained from judge of the District of Co., lumbia a temporary injunction forbidding Senator Black to make public private telegrams which he had seized in violation of law. The assertion made in court was that the whole thing was merely a fishing excursion" That is to say, it did not specify the individual teegrams wanted, nor did it name the persons whom it sought to ncriminate or at least humiliate, thus ignoring or evading a plain prohibition of the Bill of Rights
 The case has been set for final argument soon. It is of importance than it would appear at first sight to the ordinary citizen. He might ask, Well, what is there wrong in all this search and seizure against which the outcry is raised?" Our English forebears knew what was wrong about it. They had too many domciliary visits which, without specific warrant permitted agents of the police or of the Government to hunt for evidence of crime. in suspected mans own house. That method in effect made take part in his own prosecution and conviction. No wonder that it done away with as an instrument of tyranny The inquisitorial powers of a committee of Con- gress are great, but they do not extend to dis regard of the rights of private citizens defined in the Constitution Senator Black protests that his procedure not open to the charge of being search and seizure, since the material he got hold of obtained under subpoena. But if this was too general and sweeping in terms, and showed clearly that the object to smirch certain individuals by making of thier own confidential communications, it seems to lie open to all the objections urged against the other plan The court will decide.

 So far Italy is concerned, the German arm point. By threatening to go along with Hitler in denouncng the Locarno pact, Mussolini puts himself into strong bargaining position He is willing now to abandon his pro-German policy and adhere to the Locarno treaties, if he is paid off by the with drawal of the Leagues economic sanctions against Italy
 Actually Mussoln is not offering very much. There is evident in Paris and London no intention to resist by force the German move. This being true Italian aid is not very important. unified front of Italy, France and England would not be enough to compel Hitler to withdraw his troops from the frontier provinces unless the three were ready to fight
 The French however somewhat frightened by the last Naz move, and be expected to dc everything possible to insure Italian support. This renewed French efforts to soften the Leagues program of sanctions against Italy In this fashion the Paris Government may succeed in destroying the effectiveness of the League of Nations, as in Europe is a strong League to unite the nations surrounding Nazi Germany
 If they fall for Mussoini's horse trading tactics in other words, instead of compromising Hitler proposals for a guaranteed peace the French may some day find that they have destroyed tht collective system in the African case and cannot revive it for on the continent of Europe. Far. sightedneSs is not a salient feature of postwar French policy, however. If it were, France would have made substantial concessions to Republican Germany before 1882, and would have prevented the entire phenomenon of Adolf Hitler.
