LAWS
Latin Americans Plan
Standardization

Problems of simplifying and
standardizing laws in Central and
South American countries were
discussed last night at a meeting
by diplomats from Mexico, Uru-
quay, Cuba and FL Salvatore at
the Mayflower Hotel.
The conference was sponsored
by the International and Compare
tive Law Section of the American
Bar Association. A talk by David
E. Grant, general counsel for Pan
American Anyways, was broadcast
to the nations involved.
Other participants included J.
Richling, minister from Uruguay;
William R. Valance, Federal Bar
Association; Guerra Everett, De
partment of Commerce; Edgar
burlington, Mexican Claims Com
mission, and Louis McJernar, Fed
eral Power Commission.

and not the least of the excitement was the hint

heckling, ribald paintings decorate the walls

time intimacy is gone and Leon wears expensive
suitings and Eddie has become the towns dude,
and there is no upstairs closet with couple OF
bare tables and three-piece string orchestra to
play SOFT romantic melodies while you sit tete-s-

been paid his few dollars and given his new suit,
they take no more responsibility.

Now mind, this is man that HAS PAID AS
THE LAW DEMANDED. He is supposed to be as
free and equal as any other man, but where is
his chance for beginning new life with so much
against him before he even gets started?
The paroled prisoner has got to have job to
go to before he can be .paroled. The discharged
prisoner however is right up against it before he
has even time to turn around Even in the En-
cyclopeda it says: "Habitual offenders are handi
capped in leading normal lives because of the
difficulty of finding honest employment AFTER
they are released from prison."
People that break the law must be punished and
punished to the full limit of the law, but once
they have paid for their mistake it does seem
unfair to me that things should be made so hard
for them.

the bars and give them a chance.

Says Boake Garter

But-no such reservation exists in our treaty
with Japan. Furthermore, no such reservation
existed in our treaty with Italy, which we vio-
lated with an arms embargo several years ago.
Yet Mr. Hull placed the United States of
America in the position of treaty violator on
that occasion with Italy! The public, however.
was not told about that.
When President Roosevelt made his famous
quarantine" speech in Chicago in 1887, most
people felt that singlehandedly the President
was thunbing his nose at the "mindyour- own-
business" philosophy of the Neutrality Act.
People Reserve Right to "QuGrantine"
THE citizens of this nation have right to
assume that their wills and desires will be
carried out completely by their administrative
officials-that if there is to be any quarantining,
it will be quarantine decided by the people.
The assumption that Japan will soon come
over to the United States is too fantastic to
waste space in discussing If you still have
the filters about this ask any first-rate Ameri-
can military man what he thinks Of that as
sumption-don't ask the Navy because too many
Of our leading navaliSts will hand out almost
any propaganda to obtain more battleShips.
The propaganda drive to force a change in
the Neutrality Act to thrust the United States
into 100 per cent meddling role is on.
One only hopes the United States Senate will
insist full exposure of what is going on before
permitting this sound, sane, excellent piece of
legislation to be destroyed.

If the Government invoked our Neutrality Act
against Japan it would be violation Of our policy

No Reservations in Treaty With Japan
IF WE are to be consistent about enthusiasm
for the sanctty of treaties, We should either
negotiate with the nations concerned to authorize
exceptions of the type necesstated by the Neu-
