Shameful Crime Record

THE annual report of ]. Edgar Hoov-
er, sent to the country's editors
every year, shows that crime in the
United States is continuing to increase
at disturbing rate
In 1860, for example, serious crime
was committed every fifteen seconds in
the United States! A murder, forcible
rape or assault to kill was committed
every three minutes.
This has become national disgrace
and the crime rate in the United States
no longer compares favorable with that
of the leading countries of the world.
We must look into our own consciences
to see what is the trouble.
The fact is that the problem is one
for all Americans and all Americans
should turn their attention to it. The
parents of America must face the fact
that the juvenile delinquency Of recent
years it the traceable to of lack of
discipline training in the home Ameri-
can fathers are more to blame in this
regard than mothers - for it is the
father in the last analysis, who should
exert final authority with the children.
In that field, American fathers are
the worlds worst. They too often alb
dictate their authority to the already
busy wife, who must run the house,
