BY j. EDGAR Hoover

IF AMERICA we're menaced by an army
larger than the total man power we threw
into the World War, that danger would
= wipe out all thought of everything except
self-protection. Nevertheless, this is exactly
the condition that exists today. Three out of
every four persons in the nation are potential
victims of crime - and the problem of self
defense thus becomes tremendously impor-
tant.
In the Department of Justice Building at
Washington, there is tremendous area of
filing cases which members of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation sometimes refer to as
"the -billion-dollar library" These
contain the fingerprint cards of the more than
4,3OO, 600 men and women who have already
offended against the laws of America. They
represent the army which each year rolls up
a total of fifteen billion dollars in crime costs
equal to two-ffths of our national debt
Since this army contains about one out of
every twenty-nine persons in the United
States and since more than So per cent of
persons whose fingerprints are received are
repeating criminals, the menace is far more
serious than is generally realized by the
public
Consider these amazing figures: Unless you
happen to live in the largest city in America
our crime population, if concentrated in one
spot, would form metropolis larger than
your own city = larger than any municipality
that exists in the United States, with the
single exception of New York. 1t would be
larger than the total population of nine of
our states and the District of Columbia, which
comprise a total area of some 68l 900
square miles.
These men and women are busy every hour
and minute of the day; they are committing
major crime on an average of one every
twenty-four seconds - faster than many fac
tories can turn out their products with the
aid of the most modern labor saving ma

Labor Day, yesterday, passed off very quietly in Nome-no pa- rades, no celebrations nobody in the jail-which speaks volumes for Nome as an orderly place in which to live. It rained all day much to the miners delight, but those who went hunting and fish ing returned with small catches. The rivers were swollen high by the constant rains and the birds were so wet they couldn't fly, so hid themselves in the willows Nevertheless, those who took a vacation yesterday returned wet, but happy in the thought that they had day off and returned with smile and the thought that next time maybe the sun Will shine.
