How to Curb Crime
1 1 'tuS week Liberty hag a very interesting article entitled,
"If Canada can curb crime why not the IT. S.t"
The author is Ernest Jerome Hopkins, former special in
vestigator of the Wiekersbam crime commission, and author
of the book "Our Lawless Police."
We regret we haven't space to reprint the article entire,
for it is most enlightening and worth while.
The author effectively refutes the familiar contention that
America can't handle the crime problem, as Canada handles it,
because the two countries are essentially different, in tempera
ment and character. We quote :
My purpose In Canada was to solve, If I could, the greatest
mystery on the American continent. Why Is It that, with crime
rising to fantastic heights with us, It la growing no faster then
the population on the other aide of the Invisible line? Here
ara two adjacent countries that are alike In their language,
morals, and fundamental law. Subtle differences exist, . but
probably no two nations on earth are more alike at bottom.
Economic conditions are Identical, Including the depression.
Yet In the United states crime la What we know It to be,
while la Canada the picture Is. comparatively speaking, white
and clean. Our lives and property are highly unsafe; Canadian .
lives and property are safe. In 1820 there were but twenty-six
known murders In the whole Dominion, and In 1980 but seven
teen. Any large American city can outmatch Canada's entire
record of crlmea of violence In any given year.
In 1929 in Chicago there were over 200 murders reported,
there were 111 murder indictments and only 35 convictions.
The pecentage of convictions in Montreal the same year was
72 percent, compared to about 15 percent for Chicago. A similar
ratio prevails all down the line.
IN THE author's judgment the chief cause is difference in
criminal procedure obviously a condition that could be
easily corrected. The basic laws in the two countries are the
same, but the methods of enforoing those laws, are radically
different, and the judicial set-ups are entirely different, also.
In the first place judges in Canada are appointed for life,
as are certain federal judges, and all U. S. supreme court judges
in this country. As a result they are not concerned with poli
tics, have no interest in whether their decisions are popular or
unpopular, they have no interest in votes. As a result they
are entirely independent, fearless, and only interested in one
thing, SECUEING ABSOLUTE JUSTICE, AS FAE AS THAT
IS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. As a protection against corrupt
or incompetent judges in this country, there is impeachment,
and could be a properly guarded and restricted recall.
IN THE second place, in Canada neither the laws of procedure,
nor practice, are framed for the protection of the criminal.
In this country for example, if the judge is unfair or incompe
tent, the defendant has the right of appeal or reversal, but the
state hasnt. This obviously gives the criminal all the best of it.
In Canada the state prosecutor has the same defense against
an unfair judge, or against improper rulings, as the defense.
If an irregularity has occurred, against the state, the proseoution
can secure a review from a higher court. Why the prosecutor
in this country should not have the same right, it is hard to
understand.
THIRDLY, there is. the greater power granted the judge in
Pnnnrln aa in Tr.nrlnnrl Tha Pnnnrlinn inc nnf nnlv
has the right to instruot the jury on the law, he has the right
to COMMENT on the evidence, giving the jury the benefit of
his legal knowledge and his greater experience with crime and
criminals. The jury oan refuse to follow the implication of the
judge's comments, whenever it wishes, but obviously such power
goes far toward accelerating legal action, cutting through red
tape and pettifogging tactics, to arrive AT THE TEUTH.
AND finally that is what the courts in Canada are after
TTTBl TTf.TTTTT flriminnl low nvtr fhara in not onrr. nf
complicated game, hedged about by a thousand rules, regula
tions and technicalities until winning the game instead of
securing justice, becomes the main objective. Under the direc
tion of the judge, entirely removed from politics, the machine
of jurisprudence grinds steadily on, separating the wheat from
the chaff, essentials from non-essentials for one purpose and
one purpose alone, to establish the facts, and to secure justice,
fairly and promptly.
Until the American people become sufficiently aroused to
demand a similar system here, the United States will continue
to be the gathering point and the paradise for criminals.
Here is the author's conclusion:
When tha United States waa Just arousing to tha menace of
gangsterism, there wsa a typical gang crime in Montreal. Rob
bers held up an armored truck of the Canadian National bank.
A bank messenger was killed. That wss on AprU 1, 1834.
Pour Italian gangsters were arrested that aame day. Three
were arreeted the day after. That was quick deteotlve work.
Three of the gangsters were turned loose for lack of evidence
after the preliminary inquiry. But the detective work con
tinued. Quite early In the game one of tha gangsters, named
Nlerl, turned king's evidence. At least a half doeen officials,
police and proseoution. knew It at the time. It was kept abso
lutely confidential for more t&an a monta. It came out in the
trial Itself.
Early In May the whole gang was rounded up. The names
aeem familiar Seraflnl, Oamblnt, Morrel, Tony Frank, Valen
tino, Davis, Pernio. They had operated In Newark and New York.
First, feeraflnl was tried alone on the murder charge: the Jury
disagreed. Then the crown attorney, R. L. Calder, prosecuted
the others Jointly on conspiracy to murder. All were convicted
excepting Mary Seraflnl, who waa acquitted. Both these trtala
were over by the middle of May. And the crime had occurred
April II
The convloted men appealed. Row long did that take? Two
years? Not at all. By October the decision waa handed down
and the convictions affirmed. Within six months from the date
of the crime Seraflnl, Oamblni, Morrel, and Frank were hanged.
Valentino, Davis, and Parlllo ara In prison for life.
Cases of the same aummer mopped up two other gangs.
Since then there hasnt been a gang crime in eastern Canada.
I am not In the business of advising gangsters, but If I were,
my advloe would be this: Keep out of Canada.
Criminal Justice works there.
AND MOST OF THE FEATURES THAT MAKE IT WORK
ARB PERFECTLY ADAPTABLE TO THE LAW OF ANY AMER
ICAN STATE I
of such financial aid, and also to give local help to those fruit
growers, whd for certain conditions, for which they are not to
blame, federal financing this year, is not available.
THIS good newa, together with yesterday's good news of the
establishment of Medford as main headquarters for the
forest conservation corps, should send members of the ancient
and honorable order of pessimists and chronic crepe hangers
to the tall timber WHERE THEY BELONG.
All is not perfect in this part of the world, or any other
there is still much to be done, many improvements to be made
but everything is materially better than was the case only a
few months ago, and things promise to get even better as time
.goes on.
So let's call off the Lugubrious Blues for a spell, change the
tune, appreciate our blessings,' and by hard work and united
effort, make the most of them !

BE IT EVER SO DINKY, IT'S A FINE PLACE TO HAVE A BABY
Writing for advice on prenatal care
a reader says she expects her baby
In October. She visits her physician
once a month.
He Insists that
she enter the
hospital for con
fine ment. But
her first baby
was born at home
five years ago,
ahe waa attend
ed by the same
doctor, and
everything was
quite normal.
Of course, she
says, the doctor
'doesn't refuse to
attend her at home If she Insists on
remaining at home. But he does
refuse to have a nurso if the par-lent
Is confined at home. He days
he can manage better without the
nurse's assistance. He assures her
everything is normal this time.
"I don't want to go to the hos
pital but I don't want to do any
thing foolish either," says the per
plexed prospective mother, who ex
presses a doubt that assails thou
sands of her sisters every day.
The hospital la the place If there
la any reason to expect difficulty or
if there is any complication. The
physician, of course, should be en
gaged as soon as the woman knows
or believes she is to become a moth
er. In every Instance there should
be an examination to determine
whether there Is any complication,
for the management of the case de
pends on the individual circum
stances. All this, clearly. Is up to the
judgment of the physician.
There la nevertheless a factor
which prejudices the physician In
favor of hospitalization, and that Is
expediency. With the special equip
ment, nurses, Internes and all, it
easier for the physician and takes
less of his time to attend obstetric
cases In hospital. i
But so far as that Is concerned,
the physician's time and service Is
his stock In trade. If a patient Is
able to pay a fair fee, then the doc-
tor should be willing to attend, the 1
patient at home. It Is a matter of :
compensating the physician for the
additional care Instead of paying for
the gratuitous services of divers func
tionaries In the hospital, or more
often half-paying for most hospi
tals do not charge enough to cover
their running expenses.
Another factor, which prejudices
some physicians in favor of confine
ment at home, Is the greater hazard
of infecblon In the hospital simply
because a greater number of persons
enter the equation of asepsis In the
hospital. The human factor. I am i
thinking now of the home of the
moderately well-to-do, folks who can
and. do have every modern conveni
ence in the home.
Still another factor la the occa
sional (believe It or not) presence
in the home of older children. If
the parents have made a bad start
or none, which Is worse. In the edu
cation of such children, there Is i
never a better time or opportunity
to teach them the wholesome truth 1
than this. Cut the myth and mys-
tery and your children will bless your 1
heart.
The doctor said he could manage ,
better without a nurse, if the patient ;
is confined at home. That's odd.
Probably the poor man has to take
that tack to avoid some practlr.i)
nurse the patient likes.. Mot that '
practical nurses are undesirable:
some of them are thoroughly caps-
Die. But the nurse assisting In n
labor case must understand and prac
tice obstetric asepsis, and the nurse
learna that only by Instruction in a
regular training school, la the lying- '
In room.

Side Ache.
What causes children or adults to
have a pain in the side after run
ning? C. P.
Answer' Physiologists believe It Is
distension of the right ventricle of
the heart the side that pumps blood
through the lungs. With good train
ing this side ache disappears. Prob
ably the child should run shorter
distances until she gets "second
wind" efficiency, but she should keep

spectacularly, they are bidding up
the price of hops.
THIS writer doesn't want to dis
count the farm relief bill. It
may be a fine thing. If it is, we
are all for It! We ought to give it
a thorough trial before condemning
It. CERTAINLY we shouldn't con
demn it before it la tried out.
But this writer, for one, speaking
In entire frankness, has a lot mbre
confidence in the law of supply and
demand that in any MAN-MADE law
for boosting prices.
If It Is the law of supply and
demand that is pushing up prices
of farm products, we have reason
to be exceedingly hopeful as to the
future.
