RADIO ADVANCES ENGLISH

The coronation of King George VI
was not as remarkable as the transmission
of the ceremonial rites to listeners all over
the world through the medium of the radio
or the experimental Observation-Disclosures
of the scene to some thousands in scattered
homes
The British Empire probably owes its
munication and its future is brighter be-
cause the peoples of the huge realm can
be brought together to hear and some to
see. their King and other events of empire
Importance
Radio experts estimate that the coro-
potential listeners in the world when the
London clock struck ten a. m. on the his
toric day. In this country on the Atlantic
coast, it was five in the morning and, on
the Pacific, two a. m But regardless of
the hour there were people around the
globe intently interested in the spectacle
ard every British cline gave ear to hear
the story that came from London.
It is an interesting sidelight to OBJ
serve that all English-speaking people
could understand what was being said and
to speculate upon the fact that such radio
broadcasts will have tendency to make
English the language of the world. With
the United States and Great Britain lead
ing the nations of the world it is in
evitable that those who speak other
tongues will be interested in the language
on the air.

CANADIAN JUSTICE

Members of the Crime Commission of
the state of New York recently visited
Canada for the purpose of studying the ad.
mlnistration of justice in the Dominion,
where crime is far less prevalent than in
the United States.
Discussions with judges, crown attor-
neys and criminal lawyers brought out the
fact that in trials of persons charged with
crime there are not so many delays through
postponements and quibbling over tech
nicalities. Prompt and sure punishment
for the criminal is credited with prevent
ing crime to a great extent.
Canadian judges and prosecutors are
appointed for life, hence are not subject to
the demoralizing influence of political
campaigning to hold their positions. They
are thus free to administer justice i'm
partially, without regard to their political
fortunes - f1fls tea kssA
InfGanadasgang crime is sternly re-
pressed. -Four men were hanged in con-
nection with bank robbery at Hochelaga;
life sentences were given men implicated
in a mail robbery. Where guilt is estab-
lished the penalty is adequate and sure.
The sob sisters do not sway nor intimidate
Canadian courts.
These facts may account for the great
er safety of life and property across the
border, as well as in other countries of the
British Commonwealth.

Of the press because, after all, the public
buys the kind Of newspapers that the peo-
pie want and if there is blame to be at
taehed It should be tagged upon those who
support the newspapers that publish this
kind of news,
Recently the newspapers have given
US copious columns about a young woman
who killed one child and tried to kill
another because they were in the way,
blocking her romance with another man.
They have given US the details of the kill
ing of a mother who interfered with the
romance between her daughter and a
young man. Countless other crimes have
been duly spread in black ink for the bene-
fit of those who delight in reading the de-
tails.

This pressure came upon a world

THE THIRD DEGREE

There is no reasonable argument
that can be made for the third de-
gree. Neither of its common pur-
poses, to extort a confession and to
punish a suspect against whom there
is not enough evidence to secure a
conviction, can be justified. To be sure,
torture, applied long enough. will
generally secure a confession, but the
innocent is quite as willing as the
guilty to sign the prepared statement
when the signature is the price of end
ing the torture. For centuries, both
civil and canon law have recognized
the unreliability of evidence produced
by torture, but policemen who are
either too stupid or too lazy to secure
proper evidence still pin their faith
on it. When the method is used, not to
extract a confession but to punish a
suspect, the third degree is even hard
er to defend, for the necessary premise
of that argument is the failure of the
whole legal theory.

FRIDAY, JUNE II, 1887
INDUSTRIAL NAZIS

There is a close parallel between the
recent performance Of Hitler and Mus
solini in Spain and those of Tom
Girdler and his Associated Steel bar
onets in this country.
Hitler and Mussolini believe that
the only duty Of the common people
is to obey orders their orders. Grid
Ter thinks the same about his orders.
Hitler and Mussoini condemned the
Spanish republic without negotiations
and without a hearing. Tom Girdler
condemns the steel workers organic
ing committee in the same fashion.
Hitler and Mussolini think their
word should be law. Tom Girdler
thinks his word in the steel business
should be law and gospel both.
Hitler and Mussolini gained and
kept their power by lies, spies and
thugs. To the best of his opportuni-
ties, Tom Girdler has done the same.
And Hitler, when his devilments
provoked response, bombarded a help
less Spanish town without warning
for revenge Mussolini bombarded
a helpless Greek town some Is years
before; and as Tom Girdler turned a
servile police force loose on strikers
in South Chicago.
The parallel might be carried far
ther. Hitler and Mussolini have abol-
ished free speech and assembly in their
dominions; and Tom Girdler, while he
had the power, abolished free speech
and assembly in Aliquippa. All three
men are ignorant of all the best things
Of life. All suffer from Jehovah com
plexes," and all pass all the suffering
possible to the nearest victim.
