UNION TO ALLEVIATE FRICTION
Japan at one time during the present eontroversey
raging between that country and China announced it as
her intention to hold Manchuria until the attitude there
is more favorable to her interests. China does not see it
that way. However, it is said that the long reaches of Fa
ther Time may some day do away with the friction which
exists between the two nations by making them one. No
other permanent or definite solution seems possible.
China may absorb Japan by the working of slow eth
nic process and then again China may become Ja
pan under the rule that the fittest survive.
Whether or not the present controversey will result
in this solution to the friction, the problem which has been
before the peoples of the two nations for ages, cannot be
said but eventually such a fusion will result.
The possibility of such a fusion should quiet the fears
of those who see a world menace in Russia. On the con
trary, Slavic power may have to be dealt with before the
supremacy of the yellow people becomes a reality.
AMERICA’S CRIME BILL
(Priest River Times)
Crime — robberies, hold-ups, rackets, shake-downs,
and their attendant costs for police protection of crim
inals, court costs, prison upkeep, and insurance — cost
America §1,207,000,000 during the past 12 months. To
a public that is used to seeing big figures in print, such a
sum has virtually no meaning. But if 86,400 taxpayers
were each assessed one dollar a day to pay this bill, it
would take them nearly 40 years. This sum represents
nearly §40 per second taken from the legitimate trade
channels of America’s business. That means §3,456,001
go into the pockets of crime every day.
Incidentally, the real criminal is not the gangster, the
swindler, and the racketeer—the real criminal is the gen
eral public whose indifference permits these parasites on
society to ply their trade. The public merely shrugs its
shoulders at the mention of thefts and swindles aggregat
ing less than §1,000,000. When the amount is larger than
that, the public looks on with awe and idly wonders how
the swindler got away with it.
The cost of ciime, §3,456,000 a day, would finance
enough new industries to employ every idle man in Amer
ica before a year had passed.
The crime bill is the public’s bill. Every robbery oi
swindle suffered by business is passed on to the public b}
increased prices and higher insurance rates. And by fai
the greatest portion of this tremendous sum is directlj
charged to the general public who pays for innumerabk
small crimes as well as for gigantic stock swindles. Event
ually, every cent of this bill reverts back to the public al
the rate of $10 a year for every man, woman and chile
in America.
A ten dollar per capita tax, to be paid by the head oi
each family, would meet with immediate protest, but th<
same sum is annually thrown into destructive channels
and those who foot that bill say nothing. The ten dollars
per capita is of itself not so bad, but the demoralizing in
flucnce it exerts upon America’s youth presents a serious
problem.
If America’s crime problem is ever solved, its solu
tion must be forced by public opinion. Unless the publi<
rises in righteous indignation and demands a solution, th<
cost of crime will grow and grow until eventually it bank
rupts the nation.
It looks like the Hoover-Gardiner battle is anothe:
war to end war.
Thibet is becoming modernized. It has an organiza
tion of 400 thieving monks.
