slons made by a person to officers of
the law while he is being detained under
arrest and being denied his legal right
to be brought promptly before a court
for commitment and before he has had
an opportunity to secure counsel have
been held to be admissible.
Since tie McNabb decision MANY cases
have been dismissed in the lower courts
for insufficient evidence. This action bv
the lower courts meant that without
these so-called confessions the Govern
ment had insufficient evidence to prove
the guilt OF the accused; that persons
have been arrested on suspicion and
that the Government with all the re-
sources of the Nation at its command
has been unable to obtain sufficient
evidence to convict, except by using the
police forces to obtain so-called confess
sions.
Police officers have not always been
paragons of virtue. These officers. in
obtaining statement from an accused
person, nearly always reduce it to writ

70 the Editor of The Star:
I was surprised that your paper is
more or less supporting the drive against
our rights to prompt arraignment. In
the recent cases, where so-called mis-
carriages" Of justice occurred, YOU
missed the point that the fault lies
entirely with the police. It is they who
should be tried for what is, under our
laws, the heinous crime of deriving
others of their rights and liberty with
out due process of law.
To one who has seen police brutality

cent victims of 1t, there must be no
REIMBURSEMENT of our constitutional

Attorney General moved against those
who have abused our right and at the
same time destroyed their chance of
making successful prosecutions in our

Strategic DESIGN
From the Montreal Star,


This appears to be our strategy: To
force the Japanese northward, to clear
our lines of communication between the
United States, Australia and India, and
then, with control established and over
whelming naval forces at our command.
to bring the japanese fleet to action. If
we are ever to mount land offensive
that will carry us to the heart of Japan
itself, we must first defeat Japans naval
power. That power is still formidable.
After Pearl Harbor it appeared to be in
a position to command the whole of the
Pacific. British assistance and the re-
markably rapid rebuilding of the Ameri-
can fleet have frustrated that design
however, and the Japanese must now
stand in fear that. the European war
settled, American and British sea power
combined will sweep everything before
them in the Pacific.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trace,DeU.

Now he becomes a member of the
family again, rather than a charge on
the neighborhood.
Today one has to put something into
a dog besides little food.
The rabies menace, whatever its bad
side, and this is considerable, has put
this fine pet in relief, drawing him back
into the family circle.
Many people who never gave a
thought to the family dog are now find
ing that there is real interest in him
which they unfortunately had over
looked.
When dog is out on parade, he has
to look we'll
This means that he must be clean,
and we'll fed
HIS manners, too, sometimes seem to
need renovation, when he is at the end
OF leash, squirming and pulling.
1t Is one thing, to have him chase
cats and bark at people, when the
owner is busy listening to a radio and
quite another to have him do these
things when he is at the other end of
a leash.
1t Is much more personal, and
strangers are much more inclined to be
laxative about it.
Both dog and owner are more polite
AS was to be expected, some owners
are finding the restrictions irksome

should be pointed out to them that their
own pets are just as liable to be bitten
by rabid dog at night as in the day.
time.
The meaning of the dog comes closer
home to one, when it is necessary to
watch over 1t carefully, and put a bit
OF thought and work into it.
Maeterlinck said about all that can be
said in favor Of mans best friend,
when he wrote his famous tribute.
1t is a good thing for all dog lovers to
get out that essay and read it all over
again, at Christmas time
1t holds the same place, in relation
to dogs, that Dickens christmas Carol
does to mans celebration of the holy
tide.
1t is good thing to know something
OF the theory, as well as the practice,
OF dog keeping
Most dog owners are complying very
we'll with the quarantine. In doing so
they find that they not only are not
hurting their pets, but are really in
creaslng their own understanding and
enjoyment of them.
This means great deal, in a world
being devoted more and more, it would
seem at times, to misunderstanding and
destruction.
The dog, properly kept, helps hold
the balance true.
He is faithful, wherever man puts
him. at home or on the battlefield
He deserves careful attention, not the
sort OF playful disregard he too often re-
ceives from those who have him.
II the quarantine makes every oee
realize this, it will have done a good
thing for man as we'll as for dog.

Suburban dogs are enjoying their
walks on leash these days.
Unfettered for long time, they have
been tied up or kept indoors since the
quarantine went into effect.
Unless the quarantine Is continued,
they will enjoy freedom again as a
Christmas present.
In the meantime, friends of dogs need
not feel sorry for them, because the
dogs are having fine time.
One old pooch of our acquaintance
has developed fine nose for chicken.
Tugging along at his leash, he drags
his owner into every yard where chick
ems are kept.
He doesn't want to kill them-he just
wants to see them.
His nose for chicken is uncanny.
He knows where they are for blocks
in every direction.
When he comes to home where
chickens are kept, he tugs at his leash.
When he gets back to the flock he
stands still, making no effort to struggle
toward them.
After he has watched the old hens
tor time, he is satisfied, and willing
to go on to the next hennery.
Walking the dog has come into
fashion again with the quarantine.
Most owners are discovering that
their pets seem to get along remark
ably we'll
The old concept of unlimited freedom
is seen to be not altogether a necessary
one
Big dogs and little dogs keep in good
trim, and handle we'll on leash
They give themselves plenty of ex-
ercise.
AS for their masters, these are getting
more outdoor exercise than they have
gotten for years.
1t Is no easy thing, really, to take a
70-pound dog or even hitler one, for
mile or two of hiking.
Not only is there walking, at lively
rate, which is said to be the best con-
stitutional exercise in the world, but
there is plenty of Juggling and arm and
shoulder exercise
Most of the dog walkers seemed
slightly ashamed at first.
They had been reading the New
Yorker, in which poking fun at walking
the dog" is standard practice.
Manhattan has always had a great
deal Of fun laughing at the walkers of
the city's dogs.
Walking the dog" in the curious New
Yorkese, came to stand for lowly form
of exercise, combined with a certain
amount OF hen-pecking. (There come
the hens, again, but in different wayD
-
Today, out our way, owing to the dog
quarantine, walking the dog has come
to mean something altogether different
and very much worthwhile
Until the quarantine went into effect,
the family pet was simply turned loose
and permitted to run at will.
His will of course.
He was taken too much for granted.

What Is 'ReusonubIe'?

some action is necessary to overcome
the harmful results of the Supreme
Courts McNabb decision and its in
depreciation by lower tribunals,
Attorney General Biddle has indi-
Gated that he favors some other
S approach CHI than that contained in the
In the McNabb case, involving a
murder, the Supreme Court laid
down the unprecedented rule that
even voluntary confessions cannot be
used as evidence unless there has
been a prompt arraignment of the
defendants. Although the court con-
tended it was calculating the intent
Of Congress, the fact is that no
statute required such a ruling. It
comes under the head of what is
known as judicial legislation. The
Hobbs bill would deal with this situa-
ton by providing that confessions
otherwise admissible shall not be
excluded by reason of any delay in
arraignment. In other words, it
would repudiate the suggestion that
Congress intended to open another
technical loophole in the criminal
law through which the guilty can
escape punishment.
Mr.. Biddle did not favor this ap-
proach, pointing out that while it
would admit voluntary confessions,
it still would leave law enforcement
officers subject to the severe and
conflicting restraints imposed by the
various statutes dealing with the
tlmellness Of arrangements. AS an
alternative, he proposed the substi-
tuition of legislative standard re-
curing arrangements within a rea-
Sonable time"
This would present a question,
however, as to what constitutes a
reasonable time, and that, in final
analysis, would be determined by the
Supreme Court. In the McNabb case,
as to one of the defendants, the
court held that an assumed delay of
fve or six hours in arraignment was
unreasonable. II that standard were
to be laid down with respect to the
proposal advanced by Mr.. Biddle it
is evident that its intended curative
effect would be vitiated. For while
hVe hours might be reasonable
time for arraignment in some cases,
1t could be entirely unreasonable in
others-especially in those cases
where only one of several offenders
has been arrested, and in which a
prompt arraignment OF the arrested
suspect would serve to warn his
confederates who had not vet been
caught.
On the showing in the McNabb
case, Congress may be reluctant to
leave this determination of reason
ableness to the court. 1t has now
developed, curiously enough. that
there was no delay in arraigning the
McNabbs. Nor did counsel for the
accused advance any such claim.
But because the record did not show
when the arraignments were held
the court assumed that there had
been an unreasonable delay, and on
that basis set aside the conviction
OF three murderers. On this record
II Congress decides to adopt the
proposal advanced by the Attorney
General, it would be entirely justi-
he'd In setting up it's own definition
of what constitutes a reasonable
time.
