A CERTAIN old castle in Southern
France is surrounded by high
guardian wall which was designed to
protect the residents from invaders in
the days when warning factions were
likely to attack one another at any
time. A massive gate in the wall had
in the center of it a spade-shaped
area studded with bolt heads num-
bering 81.
A curious visitor one day wondered
how many squares could be made with
a bolt head at each corner of each
square. He finally discovered the num-
ber.

WAR MADNESS

You can't have war and democracy.
That is the theme of War Madness, "
written by Stephen and Joan
Raushenbush. 1t is small and mex
pensive book, and if it is read by
enough Americans, the already
strong anti-war sentiment of this
country should be increased to the
point of vigorous and effective ex-
preston.
Written by chief investigator of
the Senate munitions committee,
"War Madness" brings together more
tellingly than has even been done the
facts revealed by that committee. 1t
is dedicated to the members of the
munitions committee who have
helped revive the faith of men in the
possibility of remaining alive and
free" That phrase "alive and free"
sums up the major conviction with
which the book leaves the thoughtful
readers. that is, that the only hope
OF preserving democracy is to keep
out Of war.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Mr.. ]. Edgar Hoover, Director OF
the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
In a radio address recently, stated
that last year the number of young
delinQuents Throughout the nation
totaled more than 100000.
The total strength of last years
"army of crime" he declared, was
1900, 200.
In order that one may grasp the
significance of these statements, Mr..
Hoover said that if to these juveniles
were added all the country's adult
criminals, a territory twice the size
of the District of Columbia would
be necessary to provide a tented
city for them. He further pointed out
that seventeen out Of every 100 per-
sons arrested last year were under
the age of twenty-one.
According to- the Crime Commiss-
ION of the District of Columbia. out
of SIS serious crimes handled in the
lower courts of the District last year
S42, or over 20 percent of the cimin-
ais, were below the age of seventeen.
This was bought out at recent meet
ing of the Council of Social Agencies
held in Washington.

LABOR WARNED BY ITS
FRIENDS

At the very moment that the Sup
rene Court made valid the Wagner
Connery Bill, securing to labor the
right to unionize and bargain collec-
lively with its employers, friends
who rejoiced at its victory sounded a
warning note--to Ego easy in the
exercise of it's new-found power and
influence. Labor leaders were urged
to use that power, granted to pro-
tect the workers from abuses by GER
tain employers, sanely and conscien-
tiously, and with entire fairness and
responsibility.
Those leaders in control of the
labor movement were warned by
their friends, in and out of Congress-
that IL this power was not used wisely
that if excuses were resorted to in
demands, public sentiment would be
against them; moreover, that this
sentiment would crystalline into laws
requiring unions to incorpate and to
keep open their account books to the
public, and in every detail, be held
financially responsible for their acts.
But despite the warning of most
ardent friends who fought in Its
every battle, despite the claim that
25S steel companies, covering over
100000 workers, have signed union
contracts with the CLIO, there are
many indications that the CLIO. has
not needed warning of its friends
and has not used it's power and
influence either wisely, sanely or
Justly in a number of instances al
ready known to the public.
In their enthusiasm and rash ad-
ministrative dealings with some OF
the companies, at least, their leaders
failed to invoke that section Of the
National Labor Relations Act which
provides for the holding of an cleo
ton so as to determine the will of
majority of the workers of the COM
panies sought to- be organized.
Their rashness caused them not
only to ignore this provision of the
National Labor Relations Act, but
also to fail to apply the sound
philosophy that collective bargaining
and the right to unionize does not
mean that an arbitrary, non-cooper-
alive attitude should be taken by
labor leaders.
Some commentators say that the
issues between the Girdler-Grace
groups, other industrial leaders, and
the CLIO. are but the birth pains OF
an onward labor movement which
will rebound to the benefit of the
Nation. But if so, others aver that
not a little of the pains have been
due to the child's refusal to be born
according to- the norm of either COM
nonsense or the provisions of the
National Labor Relations Act.
