The Law's Injustice.
ANTA MONICA, CALIF.—
Had it happened in another
country, we'd say, ‘“What curi-
ous ideas foreigners have of
law enforcement.”
A footpad with an evil record held
up a victim. A bystander saw the
crime, identified the
thief.
The ruffian was
held under indict-
ment. But he could
give bond. The spec-
tator was “de-
tained’ as a mate-
rial witness—a gen-
tle way of saying he
was locked up, ex-
actly as though he
had been the crim-
inal. Well, he was
guilty of being poor.
Six months later came the trial.
The defendant, having been out all
that time on bail, looked hale and
hearty.
was produced under guard, pale and
sickly from close confinement. It
didn’t help his health any when the
crook’s attorney browbeat
yellea at him, practically accused
him of perjury.
The citizen sued the state
false imprisonment, for loss of
wages, for separation from his fam-
ily, for all he'd suffered. Under
the statutes he had no standing.
They threw his case out.
Meanwhile, the convicted crook
had been released by the parole
board and was free as a bird.

Eating Oysters.
HERE'S a brand-new movement
called eat-oysters-in-any-month-
you-please movement, or, unless
you're working on space rates, it
may becalled E. O. 1. AA M. Y. P.
M., for short. Its sponsor says the
prejudice against eating oysters in
months having an “r”’ in them is a
fallacy dating back 2,000 years
when, between hiccoughs, a Roman
senator said: "Oysters should be
eaten only in certain seasons.”
So it appears we've been penaliz-
ing ourselves ever since then for the
indigestion of a Roman senator,
although, so far as eating the Cali-
fornia oyster is concerned-—he runs
around forty to the dozen—I per-
sonally could refrain for the whole
year without any undue longings.
The California oyster looks some-
thing like a brass overall button suf-
fering from vertigris.
Still, maybe it's all for the best.
Because during May, June, July and
August is when the oyster does prac-
tically all his courting. There's lit-
left in the world

The President said exercise of
“ordinary prudence’ would protect
the nation against prolonged busi-
ness recession.
He reiterated his intention to bal
ance the next fiscal year budget,
and demanded that congress find
and provide new revenue for any
added expenditures authorized now.
The President asked congress to
provide:
1. Wages and hours legislation.
2. An “‘all-weather’ crop control
program.
3. Reorganization of executive de-
partments.
4. National planning for better use
of natural resources.
It appeared certain that a vig-

this program would arise, but near-

Plot to Kill Stalin?

ernment will try to stimulate pri
re-absorb the jobless; and after the
results of the census are tabulated,
a long-range program will be
launched. This program, he said,
will apply to employers as well as
to workers, and in this was per-
ceived a note of encouragement to
business.
The President said prosperity of
the nation depended upon national
purchasing power, and added:
“Our far-sighted industrial lead-
ers now recognize that a very sub-
stantial share of corporate earnings
must be paid out in wages, or the
soil from which these industries
grow will soon become impov-
erished. Our farmers recognize that
their largest customers are the
workers for wages, and that farm
markets cannot be maintained ex-
cept through widespread purchasing
power."
Mr. Roosevelt emphasized that
America will not try to solve the
employment problem by a huge
armament program, as other na-
tions are doing
