ONLY ONE REMEDY

The United States Supreme Court this
week demonstrated why congress must
amend the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
The supreme court ruled in several
cases that federal courts are without
power to review collective bargaining
orders of the National Labor Relations
Board, created by and operated under
the Wagner act. There is no appeal from
the labor board. 1t is all-powerful.
If person who has been harmed can
not appeal to the courts, then where can
he appeal?
1t is inconceivable under the system
we have learned to respect in America
that any agency should be set up as a
court of last resort, first and final
tribunal, empowered to argue its own
case, make its own findings, and order
and enforce its own judgment. Yet that
is just what the labor board is and can
do, under the Wagner act.
The court, naturally, ruled only on
what the powers of the board are under
the act, and it found them practically
without limit. The court cannot change
those powers, granted by law. 1t is up
to congress to do that.
The sooner congress does make the
change, removing dictatorial power from
the hands of the left-wing labor board,
the sooner industrial justice will come to
this country, and the sooner such justice
is made possible, the sooner labor peace
will be assured

Every one of these issues. and

that is something else again. Those
roads are in their districts.
A rivers -and-harbors bill allot-
ting fat sums for his district can
get votes from the most stalwart
economizer. A farm belt statesman
wants to economize everywhere but
on the farm program, as witness
again the last session; city repre-
sentative may want economy every
where but in relief, and perhaps
slum clearance.
Because of these things, every
effort to reduce the budget, whether
backed by President Roosevelt or
others, will meet severe battling at
every step.
That Congress will vote Just about
anything the administration asks
IL the way Of defense appropria-
tionS goes without saying. The only
question is whether Congress in an
election year will agree to special
and extra taxes for ornaments out
side regular taxes and regular APP
preparations.
Everybody in Washington who has
studied the problem at all seriously
knows that the whole tax structure
needs a scientific and impartial
overhaulng.
But next falls elections will be
held square in the face of what is
done about taxes this winter Will
that badly-needed and thorough
tax overhauling be accomplished?
What do you think?

Netherlands Chief
Pleads for Peace

THE HAGUE, Jan. 3. CUP)--
Netherlands Prime Minister Dirk
Jan De. Geer made a new appeal
for peace in New Years broad
cast to the Dutch empire today.
1.-The voices for peace which are
hsard from various countries, liz
cluding America, must be heard al
so in the belligerent countries, who
should realize that it would be bet
ter to start peace negotiations now
than TO continue the war and leave

Willis Thorntons Editorial or:
Stopping Crime Before 1t Begins

as easily as some disease in It's
early stages. 1t is scarcely ever
discovered in a boy or girl until
some crime. usually petty, has been
committed, and the delinquent has
been brought before the authorities.
AS legislators continue to relax
the laws governing the handling OF
juvenile delinquents, penologists
concerned with this problem will
meet with more success. A boy or
girl below the age of 81 is seldom
lost to society unless he has some
lncurable mental disorder In most
cases he will respond satisfactorily
to the proper type of individualized
treatment.

BlilS are. WHEN llley reached uIle
island she said she wanted a dish
of ice cream. Not only said it but
declared she'd die if she didn't get

meant rowing to the nearest shore
village two miles away. No one

The name of the ice cream getter
was Ole Eyinrude. His parents had

He had an idea. That was the
most important thing. Now for the
second most important thing: he
started to do something about it,
1t took him two years to achieve
his aim, but at last he did it. Al
though he didn't know it at the
time, someone had beat him to
the idea of a machine that would

Ole was busy doing two things:

Efforts to fit the punishment to
the criminal rather than to the
crime are beginning to meet with
some success. Charles Lionel Chute.
executive director of the National
Probation Association. recently re-
ported that his organization had
detected a general tendency toward
reform in the operation Of juvenile
courts.
Most encouraging. said Mr.. Chute,
were increases in the age limits
below which the juvenile courts may
assume jurisdiction. In Is states
today juvenile courts have juriSdic-
ton over offenders up to the age
Of 18, or even beyond. This re-
moves many youthful delinquents
from the iron-bound prescriptions of
the common law and enables ju-
venile court judges to use broad
discretion in steering the young
violator away from the path Of
crime.
An offender 18 years old or less
is not criminal beyond hope. He
may easily become one, but his en-
tire character is still susceptible
to benevolent changes in environ
ment. The best way to make him
first-class gangster Is to shut him
in a prison with crowd Of older
prisoners, thoroughly habituated to
crime.
Gradually, civil authorities are
becoming aware of the Importance
of handling properly teen-age Of
tenders. If given effective treat
ment, these youngsters can be plac-
ed among the communities most
useful citizens: if treated negligent
" and without regard for the con-
sequences, they may become costly
liability to society.
Edward Young. an 18th century
English poet, said: who would not
give a trifle to prevent what he
would give a thousand worlds to
Cure?" But even the trifle must
be exact and must fit the case in
hand. Juvenile judges and pro-
ration officers can operate on no
established formulae. The statute
books are no good in the juvenile
court. The treatment prescribed
must be individualized.
THE criminal facies is not in
born but acquired through the
criminality and reactions OF the
criminal with other people" ;" recently
commented DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, an
taropologist of the Smithsonian
Institution. Except for brute viol-
ence and actions due TO brain dis
orders, crime itself is no organic
entity, but is social phenomenon,
differing vastly individually in de-
gree and shadings."
Criminality is pretty much like
cancer-it can be checked with COM
paratiVe facility if caught early
enough; but it is nearly always
fatal if allowed TO take too firm a
hold. The trouble is that crime is
