each dollar la spent. This la a
ruiiiliuiientul principle of demo
cratic Kovurnment.
FOIt the first time, the United
Stales Is going to get together
some roully complete Information
ithout Its ullens.
The registration which will begin
Aug. 27 and close Dec. 20 Is a tre
mendous undertaking, l'erhiips 3,
000.000 residents, non-citizens, will
be required to Hat with the govern
ment lutsli: tlalu about themselves,
Including their fingerprints.
Tluio was when a proceeding or
this kind would have been regard
ed as smacking too much or Kliro
pean restriction to fit Into the
American picture Scarcely today.
Left to llseir, the 1'nltcd Slates
would never have adopted such u
plan. But thn impact or Kureipcnn
tension on tho world hits brought
about adoption or this registry al
most without opposition.
Several things ought to be kept
clearly In mind as the day ap
proaches when all aliens must ap
pear at ono or 7.'!00 registration
centers to leave a record or them
selves and their activities.
First, this Is not witch-hunt. The
definite assnriinco of Director Karl
0. Harrison has been given that till j
loyal aliens will he protected from
unfair attacks or discrimination.
Tho rnct Mint u person must regis
ter Ih nothing against him.
Second, thei'o is no charge or
Tee in connection with the registra
tion. Already unscrupulous persons
have appeared, ready for a sult
lilile ten In "help" aliens through
the l egist rut Ion. No help Is
required except Mutt which will
be freely given through poslofrices.
The registration must not be allow
ed lo open up n profitable source
or graft by preying on ignorance.
Director Harrison Is not expect
ing tiny w idesprced disclosures of
criminal activities or Kirili Column
work, lie is convinced that tho
vast majority of aliens tiro peace
ful and law-tilitdtng.
Among Hie questions asked
( lib penally ror willful rnlsilieu
llon) is one covering all member
ship or activities In eluliH. organi
zations, and societies. Another cov
ers connection with political activi
ties ol foreign governineuls.
Persecution and injustice could
easily follow abuse of such infor
mation, lllld even of the mere fact
or registration Itself.
On the old Anglo Saxon principle
that all ure iuuuceut unlit proved
guilty, till should guard aguluv.1
Jumping to conclusions. The gov
ernment has Insllluteil the rcglMrn
(Ion. The government Is quite cap
able of Ittklng any necessary ac
tion upon II in tin orderly and le
gal manner.
A thousand more lives have been
smtri'cd out by automobiles during
the llrst hair or this year than In
the satue period of J Dull.
' Dcalh, following the human lead,
has also motorized his Imitations.
He is gradually rolling buck the
safety troops which were Tor
long gradually reducing the toll of

June wus Ihe niiilh consecutive
month, tho Nallonul Surety t'ouit
ell reports, to show an increase
over the preceding year. And 14.710
people have been mown down since
Jun. 1, as compared with 13.7UO In
the first six months of last year.
The 8 per cent lucreoae almost
onactly coincides with a 7 per cent
Increase In auto mileage. Hut the
Safety Council believes that the
war also has bad Its effect in mak-
lug people reckless and careless.
The traffic toll began to rise al
most exactly when the war glutted
last September, and reached Ha
peak In Juno, when France sur
rendered. This Is a war without end, with
out armistice. The fight against
death's motorized divisions must
not slacken.
America is rapidly becoming the
musical capital of the world.
Driven from country aftor couu
try, musicians have been gravi
tating to the United States In such
numbers as to assure that the Im
mediate future of music will be
written here.
Add together those names: Ar
tttr Schnabol, pianist; Igor Stravin
sky Paul Mlndeinlth, and Kurt
Weill, composers; Lotto Lchmann
and Kirsten Flngslad, singers, and
Arthuro ToHcaninl and Bruno Wal

galaxy us muy bu seen in Ibo world
of music. All havo come to the
I'nltcd States because of the lui
