Panama CunuI Defenses

Since the Panama Canal is the hub
around which the whole scheme of
Western Hemisphere defense, in
large measure, revolves, its integrity
is matter of mutual concern among
the American republics. To an
enemy invader, this narrow water
way, linking our Atlantic and Pacific
fleets, would be prime military
objective Because of its very nature,
the canal would be an ideal target
for air bombs. One well-placed
bomb could do grave damage to the
locks and might close the waterway
for an indefinite period. Belatedly,
we are taking steps to render the
present locks bombproof and to pro-
vide a substitute series of locks
nearby.
One of the weaknesses of the pres
ent setup, however, has been the
lack of facilities for spreading the
ne-detecting and antiaircraft
network beyond the ten-mile strip
on each side of the canal. The Re-
public of Panama recognized this
weakness in 1886, when it signed an
agreement with the United States
whereby Panama pledged herself to
cooperate in plans for improving
canal defenses in event of IAN inter-
national conflagration or the exist
ence of any threat of aggression
which would endanger the security
of the Republic of Panama or the
neutrality or security of the Panama
Canal" Acting under authority Of
that agreement, President AriaS of
Panama has issued a manifesto de-
claring that in view of the fact that
an international confiagration"
now threatens the safety of the
canal, the Panama government is
ready to permit use of it's territory
during the existing emergency for
establishment of vital new defense
outposts. =
Coincident with this highly en-
couraging news come reports OF
progress in the negotiations which
our Government is carrying on with
other Latin American neighbors
with respect to defense of the heni-
sphere in general and Of the Panama
Canal in particular. A mutual
assistance pact with Mexico is being
formulated, under which, it is re-
ported, naval and air bases would be
built by Mexico, with American aid,
on the Pacific Coast and on the Gulf
of Mexico. Negotiations with Ven-
ezuela, Brazil and other countries
also are said to be under way, with
the Havana agreement for hemi-
sphere cooperation as a ground
work. Success in these mutual
efforts to strengthen hemisphere de-
fenSes is essential to the security Of
ali the Americas.

Court Consolidation

Two persuasive arguments in sup
port of the proposed legislation to
consolidate the Police and Municipal
Courts were advanced by Judge
Nathan Cayton of the Municipal
Court in a recent address to the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
The first relates to the operation
Of these two lower tribunals, where,
as Judge Cayton pointed out, some
80 per cent of the citys litigation
is tried. At present each Judge
Is law unto himself In his own
court, but under the bill now being
drafted the two courts would be
consolidated under presiding Judge,
who would have certain fixed admin
iStratiVe authority, and one addi-
tional judge would be appointed. The
presiding judge would have authority
to assign one or more of his associates
to any of the several branches, so
that If one of the courts should fall
behind in its work the docket could
be brought up to date quickly. An
other provision, designed to eliminate
a current inequality in the conduct
of these courts, calls for a monthly
report on the work of each Judge,
showing the number of cases he has
tried and the time that he has spent
on the bench. This provision, obvi-
ouSly, is designed to make a public
record against any judge who might
be disposed to do less than his share
in the courts work, and it should
have a Salutary effect.
This proposed new setup,, in Judge
Cayton's opinion, would solve the
Traffic Court problem Immediately
and permanently" by increasing the
overall efficiency of the courts, and,
If that prediction is correct, the pros
pect of undermining this one tri-
bunal would seem to be sufficient
reason for putting the program into
effect
There is, however, at least one
other decided advantage in the
Planned conSollcatlon. 1he leglSla-
tion now under consideration would
give the civil branch of the new tri-
bunal Jurisdiction of cases involving
up to $4,000, doing away with the
present $1,000 limitation. This, it is
expected, would relieve the over
burdened District Court of approx
mately one-third of the law cases
which now must be tried there.
That of itself would be an i'm
portant forward step, and, when
coupled with the Improvements which
almost certainly would result in the
Police and Municipal Courts, makes
out a very strong case indeed in
support of the merger legislation
which the Department of Justice
shortly is expected to submit to
Congress.

Gutzon BorqIum

Those friends who were most
intimately acquainted with Gutzon
Borglum found in him a gentleness
which strangers, meeting him only
briefly, could not be expected to dis
cover. He was a forceful and dog
matte person. His whole career was
resistance to social presSures which,
as an artist, he believed it duty to
refuse to obey. Like Whistler the
painter, he never avoided a challenge.
If pressed beyond his tolerance, he
was capable of Jovian expression of
his wrath. Yet he was a warm
hearted and lovable individual, pro-
foundly devoted to his country and
to the masses of its people, sincerely
enthusiastic in his work, bravely
optimistic in his anticipation of
achievement.
Mr.. Borglum'S monument will be
the majestic Mount Rushmore Memo
rial in the Black Hills of South
Dakota. With dynamite and pneu-
matte chisels he shaped a granite
cliff into gigantic portraits of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The work was not
quite finished when yesterday he
died in Chicago hospital, but so
much of it had been completed that
there no longer is any question about
- LII 1oL
of the commission governing the
enterprise have voted him a grave
at the foot of the peak where his
heroes face the sun.
The Stone Mountain Memorial in
Georgia, planned and partly executed
by Mr.. Borglum for the Daughters Of
the Confederacy, meanwhile is wait
ing the appearance of a dreamer with
equal genius to carry forward the
task to which he cannot return.
Perhaps his son has inherited his
qualities of imagination and instinc-
tive skill. II so, numerous public
will be pleased. There are many
reasons why the enterprise intended
to commemorate Lee and "Stonewall"
Jackson and their comrades ought
not to be abandoned.
In any appreciation OF the de-
parted master a word in acknowledge
ment of his interest in government,
politics and sociology necessarily
should be included. He was a philo-
sophie liberal, keenly alive TO the
