REFORMS ARE RECOMMENDED Respect for Law Shows Increase When industry Pick* Up—Growing Con tempt for the Law Not LaM to the War Alone. Washington.—The peak in the world wide crime wave that followed the war has been reached, and from thi time there may he expected a drop in the number of murders, holdups and similar outrages, in the opinion of the special committee appointed by the American Bar association to study the reasons for the lessening of public re gard for the law. At the same time the committee be lieves the crime situation, particularly in the United States, is such as to war rant reforms that would aid in the administration of justice. To this end the committee is formulating a pro gram with a view of recommending it at the next annual meeting of the American Bar association at San Fran cisco in August. These in all proba bility will be the essential recommenda tions Te Offer Suggestions. Collection by the federal government of crime statistics, so that the extent of lawlessness may be fully known, which is not now the case, when the administration of police laws is entire ly in the control of the states and their subdivisions. Restricted sales of automatic pis tols, wllli which the vast majority of crimes are committed, their manufac ture and distribution to be largely un der the control of the War department, so that pistols may be kept from the criminally inclined. Thorough revision of the grand Jury system, so that the administration of justice may be more rapid, and a change in the lawn so that criminals may not take refuge behind technical ities in Indictments. Institution of some method whereby the iotcntial criminal may be segre gated, through the machinery of the criminal courts, whi it themselves are In need of co-ordination. Vigorous reform in the Jail system primarily to prevent first offenders from falling In with hardened crimi nals, so that jails will not he so much a breeding place for crime. Speedy enactment of a federal law to make the advocacy of a revolutlnary overthrow of the United States govern ment a crime, this Intended primarily to put a stop to the propaganda being spread by those of foreign UJU'th or of foreign parentage. Other Reforms Asked, In addition to these chief recommen dations it is expected that the commit tee will advise that the states provide for the payment of criminals for their lahor In prisons, so that their families limy he held together and not become public charges, and that the lawyer* adopt a eode that they will not neglect their duties in obtaining justice be cause of the inability of those seeking counsel to pay the price—Id other words to get to the law Is a luxury only for a privileged class. The committee held hearings to Washington in March and nuother ae ries in Chicago in April. It went to the Illinois state prison «t Joliet, where prisoners were interviewed. Hearings are to be continued In New York city. Among those who have apiteared to give testimony, in addition to the pris oners, have been Judges of criminal courts, superintendents of reformato ries, criminologists, lawyers and war* dens. It is the opinion of the committee that while the war was in a large part responsible for the crime wave there are other reasons for a growing con tempt for the law, chief of which Is lax enforcement and the long route the criminal has to travel from the time of committing a crime until he l*vPU"* ished. In the opinion of lawyers studying the situation, one of the chief factors responsible for the crime wave has been unemployment. It Is for this rea son the assertion is made that In all probability the peak of the crime wave has passed. The committee hellpves vigorous re forms are required If there Is to he a restoration of sespeet for the law. BROADCASTING A GOOD WORD Phrase popularly Used in Radio Long ,.in gsfe Ampng English 1*0 People V" A literary weefcty anys "broadcasting" Is "a new word added to the language by wireless telephony." Such a periodical should rather have referred with pleasure to the fact that the good English verb "to broadcast" has found apt employment- for many years. There Is a popular hymn which thousands of Lancashire people sing at Whitsuntide, whose first verse be gins, "Sow in the morn thy seed," and ends with "Broadcast it o'er the land." Reference to the Thesaurus confirms the fact that "broadcast" was already in the language, and sug gests that in its place we might easily have been afflicted with one of its synonyms.
