Calls AttentiOnstO
Guild Committee.

To the Editor Of The Star:
YOUR editorial on August l entitled
"A Free Country" overlooked the
fact that in February, 1887, at its first
convention. the National Lawyers Guild
created committee on civil rights and
liberties. We were the first national
bar association to take this step. That
committee has done some outstanding
work, particularly in connection with the
LewiSton-Auburn, Maine, shoe strike,
the Memorial Day massacre of the Re-
public Steel Co. and in Jersey City.
It is encouraging and gratifying that,
after years of work and effort on the
part of lawyers interested in the vital
problems of civil liberties, the American
Bar Association finally decided to create
a similar committee. Many members of
the American Bar Association have urged
that association to take more agrees
sive stand with respect to violations of
civil rights and liberties and have usually
been turned down. 1t was partly in re-
sponse to that negative attitude that
the National Lawyers Guild was OIL
ganized in December, 1886.
There is much to be done in the field
and the committee to be appointed by
Mr.. Hogan could make no better start
than to lend its support to the investi-
cation now being carried on by the La
Toilette Committee. II the American
bar can be reused to its responsibilities.
the American people may be encouraged
once again TO impose some faith and
confidence in American lawyers.
MORTIMER RIEMER,
Secretary, National Lawyers Guild.

Horse Sense Needed In
Traffic Regulation.

Traffic Regulation.
To the Editor Of The Star:
YESTERDAY I read In the paper of
scores of motorists being arrested
on Saturday for driving the wrong way
on streets which are one way between
4 and pm. If those restrictions were
made to expedite traffic during rush
hours why restrict trafic on Saturday
and Sunday? Clearly if the need exists
on Saturday and Sunday then the need
exists all day, every day. A little more
horse sense in connection with trafnc
regulations would heighten respect for
them.
I daresay not one of the motorists
arrested and fined Saturday was any,
thing near the traffic hazard that exists
outside my window. All day the side
walk has been blocked by trucks and
steam shovel, swinging back and forth.
Pedestrians, young and old, have been
forced out into the street, onto the street
car tracks, to get by. Many Of these are
little children, sent to the store by their
unsuspecting mothers. Oh, yes, by all
means let's arrest the motorists who park
overtime or go the wrong way on one
way street, but ignore the contractors
who endanger our life and limb. This
same contractor has been allowed to
have signs saying mo parking at any
time" placed along tho stsoet. why NOT

Calls Attention to Slip
In Brown Column.
To the Editnr of The Atar.

To the Editor Of The Star:
T NEVER fail to read Mr.. Constantine
Browns articles entitled This
Changing World" when they appear in
The Star They are usually very enter
tanning and instructive and sometimes
give you q glimpse at scenes behind the
curtain in Europe and Asia, that other
writer's seem to skip. But in Mr.. Browns
This Changing World" which appeared
in The Star Of August 2. 1888, find
this rather remarkable statement:
Some is submarines up to $500 tons
displacement are known to have been
turned out from the Leningrad yards
for service in the ice-free base Of Muir
mansk and Vladivostok."
Now, surely, there Is something wrong
here. Has Mr.. Brown forgotten that
the Russo-Japanese war In 1904-5 was
brought on by the very fact that vlad-
ivostok was not an ice-free port? Russia
wanted an ice-free port on the Pacific
and 50 went to war with Japan to gain
the ice-free port Of Port Arthur, far
south of Vladivostok. As . matter of
fact, both Murmansk and Vladivostok
are clogged with ice for about seven
months in the year which would pre-
clude their being used for submarine
bases during that time.
suppose Mr.. Browns above state
ment was Just slip Of the pen" caused
by his desire to have his readers believe
that Russia had much more naval power
in the Sea Of Japan than they had i'm.
agined. That fits in well with the anti
Japanese sentiment that Is sweeping
the country.
Well, let US let It 60 at that, "a slip Of
the pen," but ut is to SMILE" especially

naval conditions in the Sea Of Japan
