Means to an End.

The testimony of Assistant Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson before a
House committee investigating charges
that Federal Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger
had Constructed justice" brings into
sharp focus vital question-whether
in the administration of justice the
Government is ever entitled to use i'm
proper and perhaps unethical means to
attain a desirable end.
Briefly stated, the facts of the case are
that Judge Geiger discharged a grand
jury investigating antitrust charges be-
cause he believed the Department of
Justice had used the jury As IN instru-
ment to coerce the prospective defend
ants into signing a consent decree which
would have enabled the Government to
attain its goal without conducting
criminal prosecution Of the alleged law
violators. Although. in thorough dis.
agreement with the Judge in the par
ticular case, Mr.. jackson admitted that
his department is definitely committed
to a policy Of using grand jury proceed
ings as a means Of compulsion in anti
trust cases where civil decrees are being

influential people without inspections.
In Washington the tests will be made by
inspection stations set up and main
tanned by the city. The money for
their creation and operation will come
from a 81 initial fee and q 50-cent an
nual fee thereafter from each motorist.
1t IS expected this system will prove
cheapest for the motorists in the long
run.
In some places the importance of IN
specting cars has been minimized on
the theory that faulty mechanism Is the
cause Of only a small percentage of ac-
cidents. This conclusion is open to
serious question because it seldom is
obvious, after a wreck, whether the cars
involved were in proper mechanical con-
dition prior to the accident. The Oft
repeated explanation of drivers-"some-
thing went wrong with the car"-cannot
invariably be set down as an attempt at
personal alibi
Maryland officials have announced
that their 1887 inspection revealed &c.
1853 cars having defects in their steering
gears, 1887 in which the brakes were
defective and 1925 on which the head
lights had to be adjusted.
In view Of the ever-mounting traffic
toll, city or State may properly be
classified as negligent if it fails to take
every logical step to prevent accidents.
The Maryland figures show not only that
inspections are important safety meas
ures, but also that, we'll built as modern
cars are, they require attention to be
maintained properly. Two factors are
involved in every accident-the car and
the driver. It is only common sense
to make both subject to examination.

Red Cross in China.

Famine and flood long ago made the
flag of the American Red Cross so
familiar and welcome a symbol of our
friendship for China that neither there
nor here is there any element of sur
prise in the news that the United States
great engine Of humanitarianism is once
again about to swing into action in far
Cathay. President Roosevelt requests
that fund of $l,00O,O0 be raised for
relief Of Chinese civilians made desti-
tute by the Sino-Japanese war. The
Red Cross 3,700 chapters will forthwith
place the plea before the people and
implement their undoubted readiness to
contribute freely to a cause with so
irresistible an appeal.
Lest the mistaken impression arise
that the Presidents action savors of
unneutralty, his letter to Admiral Gray
son, chairman of the Red Cross points
out that when the International Red
Cross, presumably at the outset of the
Far Eastern hostilities communicated
With both countries, Japan replied that
her resources were adequate to deal with
her own situation but the Chinese stated
that they very much required outside as
sistance. Hence Mr.. Roosevelt asks Amer
leans to respond to the need of our
suffering fellow beings by a good Twill
offering of as much as perhaps one mil
lion dollars"
The fund will be expended in China
by an American advisory committee ap-
pointed by Ambassador johnson. AS
time is of urgent Importance, the Red
Cross hopes subscriptions will be made
with corresponding promptness and gen.
eroslty. The invasion which North and
Central China have undergone has been
accompanied by all the terrors and hor-
rors seemingly inseparable from military
campaigns waged under modern condi-
tions. Civilian communities, the help
less non -combatantS who are always the
most pitiable victims of the organized
bloodshed and manslaughter called war;
have suffered cruelty in China, mainly
as the result Of ruthless bombing from
the air. Hundreds of thousands OF her
teeming population possibly millions, are
already beyond the reach of human aid.
but they have left behind them hordes
of destitute, whose mere numbers, be-
cause of China's incredible size, almost
stagger the imagination. Unquestionably
the task now assumed by the Red Cross
outstrips in physical magnitude any
thing it has ever tackled beyond these
shores. However generous Americas ef-
fort. it can obviously only hope At best
to ameliorate fractionally so appallingly
vast need.
At any rate, the Nation has q literally
golden opportunity not only to show its
compassion for China bleeding bravely
at a myriad of pores, but to display its
respect for q China whose fight for life
challenges the worlds admiration. The
Red Cross appeal merits immediate and
immense support.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

to compare the plates In this big book
with the plates in one OF the famous
elephant folios. The writer here must
confess some disappointment in some Of
the plates; the wood thrush, for instance,
does not resemble the thrushes we see
every spring and summer In our yard.
The spots on the chest are not right,
and somehow the very spirit OF this
most beautiful bird and singer is missing.
Nor do we think the junco very good.
1t Is also regrettable in this new book
that the old legends for the plates, sup
piled by Audubon himself, have been
relegated to the end of the book. This
is particularly disturbing if one happens
to be a garden enthusiast, too-and
practically all bird lovers are-for then
one must forever be turning to- the back
of the book to identify the plant paint
ings which are such an integral part of
these plates.
The National Geographic Societys
work, In two volumes, THE Book of
Birds" must have an honored place in
every home collection.
Collaborating ornithologists, including
Drs. Wetmore. Alexander, and others,
have joined DR.. Grosvenor to give us
one Of the best and most interesting of
books on birds.
The plates by Allen Brooks and L. A.
Fuertes somehow strike us as more like
the birds Of today than the birds in some
Of Audubon's plates. Perhaps this is
just another way of saying that we pre-
fer contemporary art!
Really, there is something to this, no
oryy ficfc
like us, the reader, than Audubon, who,
was, as his biographies declare, woods
man in the full sense.
We would feel great deal more at
home with Maj. Brooks, no doubt, than
with Audubon, could he walk in on us
some day.
Mr. Peterson's small book, "The A C
of Attracting the Birds" has been men,
toned in this column before. 1t is a
nice little work which should prove
helpful to all the many persons who
already are interested in and those who
are becoming interested in the birds in
their gardens, especially in the winter
time.
We would like to add to the above
list DR.. Roberts Bird Portraits in
Color" put out several years ago by the
University of Minnesota, q beautiful and
useful work. and the one-volume edition,
issued in 1886, of Birds of America" by
DR.. Pearson and collaborators. Either
of these books will prove vastly helpful
to the average enthusiast in identifying
birds in his yard.
Books and birds, somehow, seem to 60
together just little better than books
and fishes, let us say (although We know
some wonderful books about the poor
fish,. The ruby-throated hummingbird
has been called the jewel of the air."
but the title might we'll be extended to
include all our feathered friends.
The subject Of bird life is an mex
haustlble one. There is no chance of
any of us. amateur or professional ever
reading it through. There will always
be more books. containing more facts,
more fancy, more beautiful pictures.
Perhaps the best title in the list pre-
sented is that of an English book, Every
Garden Bird Sanctuary"
That is a grand little title, because it
is true, or may be true. Each one of us,
in city or suburbs, has an opportunity to
help the birds by protecting them and
feeding them.

Automobile Inspections.

The District of Columbia has been
tagging behind many States, including
Its neighbors, Maryland and Virginia, in
one precaution against automobile acci-
dents-periodic inspection of automo-
biles.
A bill which would put the National
Capital on the safe" side, by providing
for annual inspections, is nearing enact
ment. It has passed the House and is
in the Senate awaiting concurrence in a
House amendment.
Furthermore, the District is making an
effort to profit by the experience of other
States. Those in which inspections have
been handled by specified private ga
RACES receiving no fee for the work have
found that the public sometimes accuses
the garages of finding petty flaws, charg-
ing exorbitant prices for parts and
sometimes passing the cars Of friends or

sought. He is to be commended for his
frankness as 1t presents the real issue
in the Judge Geiger case without the
confusion that would have attended an
evasive attitude on the part of the
Assistant Attorney General
Disclosure OF such an attitude on the
part Of an official SO highly placed in the
Department of Justice, however, will
come as shock to those students OF
the law who have regarded the grand
jury as one agency for the protection
Of individuals from persecution. The
courts have held repeatedly that the
sole function Of a grand jury Is to
indict on the basis of evidence presented
to 1t, or to ignore the charges because OF
the insuf1iciency of the evidence. Never
before has any responsible person sug-
gested that grand jury can, with
propriety, be used for the intimidation
Of prospective defendants in a civil
case, or as an agency through which to
conduct fishing expedition" to secure
information not otherwise obtainable.
There was touch of naivete, to say the
least, in Mr.. Jacksons attempt to justify
his policies by asserting that prospective
defendants could not be forced to testify
before grand jury without granting
them immunity from prosecution, but
that the department nevertheless could
get the information concerning their af-
fairs that it desired from its representa-
tives In the grand jury room.
This is not to suggest that Mr.. Jack
son is insincere in laudabie desire to
break up harmful monopolies. But in
his determination to attain that praise
worthy objective he should not lose
sight of the fact that the great weak
ness of reformers has been their inability
to refrain from riding roughshod over
legal barriers, oblivious in their haste to
the fact that such obstacles are tried
and proven bulwarks of human liberties.
The antitrust laws can be amended to
accomplish the purposes of Mr.. Jackson
and his associates, and that is the course
that should be followed in the future.
