THE LAW SHOULD PROTECT
(Wall Street Journal)

In the annual report of Thomas E.
Dewey, district attorney of the County
of New York, there is, as might be expect
ed, a great deal about people who had
been breaking the laws and were sent to
Jail. But what we liked best in this book
of 13O printed pages was the section
about some innocent people who were
caught in the meshes of the law and how
the district attorneys office went to con-
siderable time and trouble to get them
out of jail.
There was the story of the habeas cor
pus writ for the old gentleman picked up
as vagrant and railroaded to the work
house before his scanty knowledge of
English permitted him to explain his ac-
tions. There was the man identified as
a robber whose innocence was proved by
an investigation as painstaking and time
consuming as most of those undertaken
to secure a conviction. Another investi-
cation showed that man held as gun
toter was the victim of plot engineered
by the young man he had befriended.
Probably many law enforcement Off
GERS are doing this sort of thing constant
tly, but it is cheerful circumstance
when one of them thinks this part of his
lob is important enough to tell about in
some detail and at some length.
We are hearing these days great deal
about proposed crack downs" on this in
dividual or that group. And we hear a
great deal, too, about new laws which
will set up new penalties, presumably
so that the crack downers" will have
more things for which they can "crack
down."
It should not be the exclusive aim of
government official to see how many
of the citizenry he can intimidate. His
more important function is to see that
the law does not engulf those who are
trying to behave themselves.

WHEN THIEVES
FALL OUT
(Santa Ana Register)

(Santa Ana Register)
Stunned diplomats, who first had the
wind knocked out of them when Hitler
did his sudden about-face and marched
against Red Russia, are now starting to
recover their customary polse and dexter
ity Each after his own fashion, is scram-
bling to take full advantage of Hltler,s
treachery. for international diplomacy
is business of hard-boiled realism. And
war, like politics, often makes strange
bedfellows
We, in the United States, undoubted-
" have viewed the situation with mixed
emotions. For embattled Britain's sake,
we are glad that she has breathing
spell.
When thieves fall out, honest folks
sometimes are the gamer. Let's not lose
sight of the fact, however, that both Nazl
Germany and Red Russia are enemies OF
our way of life; both have sought to un-
dermine the United States of America
and have kept paid agitators and sabo-
teurs here for that purpose. Both would
rule the world by might, with no regard
for right Both are criminals among ma
tions and the best we can hope for is
that they destroy each other, as they have
sought to destroy others.
As between Hitler and Stain there is
little choice. Let's waste no tears over
either; and let's not fall for the propa
ganda of either. Let's just try to take full
advantage of their gunman's quarrel, so
that we will be fully prepared, when the
battle of Russia has ended.

LET'S HAVE OUR HATS
KNOCKED OFF

Chairman Andrew May Of the House
Military Affairs Committee said he Ia
vors giving the army power To hold
draftees in service indefinitely, and send
them anywhere in or outside the west
ern Hemisphere, because:
What Chief of Staff Marshall OF the
army told May and some other in-the-
know congressional leaders would knock
the hats off, of congress Il It could be
told publicly.
Well, let's have the hats knocked off of
congress. Let's have the mats knocked
off of all Of us.
If a situation exists that threatens the
United States as critically as Chairman
MAY indicates, not only congress but the
people as a whole have a right To know
about it. After all who is it that Is
threatened? What is the United States!
If it isn't the people, then we've been
wrong for long time.
Since it is the people who are threaten
en- if the United States is threatened and
since it is the people who are supposed
through their representatives to make
the greatest decisions affecting their own
welfare. certainly the people have
right to know what information, vitality
affecting them, their public employees
have uncovered.
We do not say that military secrets
should be uncovered to public gaze. The
people are content to let these secrets
rest in trained hands. But surely there
can be no secret, except from the people
of this country, if the leaders OF some
other country have laid plans which
place us in grave danger. Surely the
persons who made those plans know
about them; it would be silly to try to
keep our knowledge Of the secret from
them.
If, on the other hand, our own leaders
are planning moves which will involve
us directly in war, that is another matter
entirely. And it is matter which should
not be kept secret. The details need not
be known-they might be of military I'M
portance-but the policy should be ap-
proved before it is carried out. And thus
far no such policy has been placed be-
fore the people, or even before congress;
If there is information that would
knock our hats off, lets have it. We
might decide to 60 to war, if 1t Is that bad.
Or we might decide there is nothing but
propaganda in the hints of secret knoWl-
edge. The decision should be up to u.s.
We're the ones who pay the bIll-ln
both money and blood We should have
a hand in ordering the goods.

HOLLYWOOD, July Ia. = The
most cussed and dreaded ogre in
the whole motion picture industry,
until recently, is sitting at new
desk today and is at peace with
everybody. Now and then he glances
with pride and some amusement
at stack of more than 700 tele-
grams and letters rendering him
the admiration. gratitude and best
wishes of practically every execu-
tive, scenarist and director in Hol-
lywood.
This congratulatory heap is no
evidence of insincerity on the part
of moviemakers. The fact is that
during more than seven years OF
battling with Joe Breen-and OF
trying to trick him and getting
caught at it-they all liked him,
respeced his unshakable integrity
and recognized the enormous value
of his services.
AS director of the Production
Code Administration for the Motion
Picture Producers and Distributors
Association, he was identified less
formally as the Hays Office and
sometimes as That Breen.'
He often forced costly changes and
was accused of running many a
film, unwisely undertaken before
being cleansed.
NO HOLY JOE
He was no SanctimoniouS REFORM
er. Producers who tried to bluff
and buster him into making an ex-
ception to the code for them quick
ly discovered that Joe Breen could
pound a desk as hard, yell as louG-
liz and cuss as fluently as anybody
They also discovered that he took
no malicious delight in purglne
their pictures of Objectionable scenes
and dialog, in fact, he never made
a deletion without suggesting sub
StltutlOn.
Sometimes he'd sit up all nigh!
with writer's figuring ways to tel
stories SO that they'd be morally
acceptable and yet would retain
their dramatic values. Many a pic
ture has been greatly improved by
Breen's ideas and almost anybody
who wasn't in the midst of ar
argument with him would admit
that he had the best story mind il

Tt was last November that Breef
told Will Hays that he wanted tt
quit. The job was wearing him out

Hollywood Fads, Fancies and FoibIes

n Hollywood in 1910, he read and
corrected almost four complete
scripts.
When it was learned that Breen
planned to leave, studios and re-
ligious and professional groups made
earnest appeals to keep him on the
Job. Toward the last, with the Pro-
ducers Association still ignoring his
request that a successor be chosen
so that Breen could train him, they
offered to double his salary. Not
until he actually walked into RkO
and assumed the duties of studio
manager and vice president in
charge of production did Hollywood
realize that once more had the
stocky. stubborn Irishman meant
exactly what he said.
CAN BE DONE
Il know the production code and
its applications, said Breen. Lots
of people in Hollywood haven't even
read it. They don't realize that al
most anything can be done in pic
lures if it is handled the right
way.
The Primrose Path dealt witt,

acceptable under the code because
it represented that sort of life As
shameful and miserable I got lo'

The Virtue Of Being First

1t is relief to see anti-Nazi forces
move first. Always they have been
fighting aesperate rear guard ac-
tions after the Nazi fuehrer has
taken the initiative
That's why the American move
into Iceland is a logical, wisely
foresighted step.
The full meaning of the setting
up of an American naval base be-
yond what has been traditionally
regarded the Western Hemisphere
is not yet completely clear But this
probably wouldn't be far wrong;
With vast Nazi forces now enga9-
ed in Russia, there is a tendency
throughout the anti-Nazi world to
sit back. relax, and enjoy the
breathing spell.
Nothing could be more fatal. A
breathing spell wasted in lolling
around is gone for good; a breath
ing spell utilized to the full to catch
up and speed up is really useful. The
Russian diversion is no time to lay
back and take it easy on aid TO
Britain. 1t is a heaven-sent op-
portunity to double and redouhle
that aid.
Now Iceland. BY autumn, one OF
two things will have happened
Either the Nazis will have beaten
the Russian army, or they will be
deeply involved in winter cam
paign in central Russia. We're not
guessing which.
In the first case, the whole Ger
man might may we'll be turned to
a desperate all-out assault on Brit

second case, a redoubled campaign
in the Atlantic will be almost GER

Note that it is the Navy which is

HOORAY FOR THE ARMY

A lot of politicians and long-nosed So
cial reformers should be pretty red IN
the face right now, with their sob sister
performance gone sour because the lads
of the "Doghouse Battalion" of Camp
Robinson, Ark, refused to cooperate with
the self-appointed saviours of American
youth.
The soldiers, in case you missed the
story, wired congressman and senator's
who had been weeping crocodile tears over
them to puh-leeze keep their fingers out
of army discipline. Were satisfied. We
don't want your sympathy. II our Oil,
GERS discipline us, that's their business;
So the soldiers said in effect, to the med
ding congressman.
The boys were the ones who were dis
ciplined by 15-mile march for "yoo-hoo-
ing" at girls on a Memphis golf course.
The army can be proud of them. The
people can be proud of them. Men who'll
take punishment when it's coming to
them, without crying about it, make good
fighting men. And as for morale, we'll
it simply couldn't be higher than 1t is
when men defend their officers for pun
ishing them.
Hooray for the Doghouse Battalion!
