Hyphenate Americans still are
seeking nullification or modification
of the immigration laws which are
designed to aid and protect American
citizens; and these invading forces
are and have been receiving aid and
comfort from un-American interests
which think, first of themselves, and
lastly of the land which shields them
in the development and evolution of
their activities.
It is designed now to meet this
reprehensible and indefensible situ
ation by adequate organization of the
forces which love America, its his
tory, its traditions and are devoted
to its future destiny.
Representatives of sixty-three na
tional and seven local and patriotic
and fraternal organizations have
agreed that this issue could best be
met by a coordinating organization.
Hence the formation of the "Amer
ican Coalition."
And to this organization non
professional and non-propagandist so
far as foreign interests are concern
ed should come all tho9e who desire
to "Keep America American," the
objective of the organization. Only
so can the invaders of America and
their allies in this country be con
founded and defeated. Only so can
our immigration laws be maintained
in their integrity. Cincinnati En

SAFETY ON THE ROAD
It is gratifying that the automo
bile associations and clubs are de
voting much attention to an investi
gation of the basis principles of
safety and responsibility in the oper
ation of motor cars. The automobile
is still in comparative infancy, from
the standpoint of traffic safety, and
as in the case of the railroad and
other mechanical inventions, is at
times destructive of life and property
in this preliminary stage. In the case
of the automobile, as with the rail
road and factory machinery, progress
will be made by prohibiting the in
ventions but by minimizing as far as
possible their injurious consequences.
After years of improvement, rail
roads were brought down to very
small percentages. It will be the same
with the motor vehicle.
Prevention of accidents and the
solution of traffic problems have
many strictly engineering . features.
But the human' and regulatory as
pects are Just as important. Gradu
ally the law must clase down not
only upon the reckless but upon the
financially irresponsible driver.
One fact emerges crystal-clear; the
impelling necessity for substantially J
uniform regulations in these matters.
No longer is automobile traffic intra
state; it moves across state boun
daries at will. Yet traffic laws treat
the problem as strictly intrastate. -
CHILDREN'S TOYS
Fathers and mothers are not the
only ones thinking about toys for the
children. The tariff-making members
of the Senate finance committee have
been thinking about them too. Their
labors, if approved by Congress will
make It harder than ever for par
ents to decide what to get, and for
poor parents to get anything at all
It appears that the toy schedules
of the .present plan, which assess a
70 per cent tariff on all imported
toys, are satisfactory to American toy
makers, which means they just about
6hut out foreign toys, or make them
a luxury for rich children.
But it also appears that some for
eign toys have been classified under
other schedules, paying less than 70
per cent.
The finance committee proposes to
end this. They drafted a definition
of toys to take in everything which
can possibly be used for children's
pleasure, and. if they can help it, no
more toys will slip in without paying
0 per cent.
:o:
WAS IS AVERTED
Well, America's worst worry con
cerning the approaching visit of
Ramsay MacDonald, British Pre
mier, is over.
No matter what degree of success
or failure may follow the conference
on armaments, our nation is safe.
The threatened social war to de
cide the rank or precedence of Dolly
Gann and Alice Longworth has been
averted.
Dolly wires from Topeka, Kansas,
that she is going to stay away from
Washington while our British visi
tor is tarrying there, and Alice sends
word from Cincinnati that she In
tends to remain at home until Mac
Donald leaves.
President Hoover, they say, when
this newB was conveyed to him, gave
shout of Joy that could be heard
over In Alexandria, and Secretary
Stimson looks ten years younger.
In spite of our wickedness as a
nation, the Lord is sometimes good
to us.
Phone you news to the Journal
The time is ripe for a thorough
inquiry into the workings of the Har
rison act. This statute was designed
and enacted by Congress more than
14 years ago for the very laudable
purpose of ending or dratically cur
tailing the habitual use of narcotic
drugs. That it has not been entire
ly successful is generally known, but
the extent to which it has failed
probably is understood only by those
who are directly concerned with its
enforcement. If we are to accept the
t'estimony of a large number of theee
officials, the attempt to prohibit the
use of drugs has resulted in a more
complete fias&co than the attempt to
prohibit the use of intoxicating li
quor. It is charged, and frequently
admitted, that the actual effect of the
law has been to increase the number
of drug addicts, and to create two
new classes of criminals, namely, the
peddlers of drugs and those who turn
criminals in order to pay the extor
tionate prices which the peddlers de
mand. Government statistics on the sub
ject strongly tend to corroborate
these accusations. Comparing them
for the years 1922 and 1928, for ex
ample, we discover the following:
The number of convictions under the
law in 1922 was 3104, as against
4738 In 1928. The number of com
promised cases in 1922 was 515, as
against 1221 in 1928. Most impres
sive of all, the prison sentences im
posed in 1922 totaled 2814 years as
against 8786 years in 1928!
The year 1926 witnessed a change
in the policy of the Federal courts to
ward offenders under the law. Dur
ing 1925 there had been 5600 con
victions, 1105 cases had been com
promised, and fines totaling $453,000
bad been assessed. Concluding that
fines were ineffective, Federal Judges
adopted the policy of inflicting sev
erer prison sentences. Thereafter the
amount taken in fines steadily declin
ed, while the total number of years in
prison sentences vastly increased,
with the result that while in 1925
the 5600 convictions had resulted in
total prison sentences of 6361 years,
in 1928 the 4738 convictions resulted
in prison sentences totaling 8786
years. Yet even the policy of sev
erity failed to halt the growing use
of drugs. It is now estimated by
competent authorities that there are
10 times as many drug addicts in the
United States as there were in 1915,
the year the Harrison act went into
effect.
Various reasons are advanced for
this shocking condition. First, it is
pointed out that the passage of the
act created a new form of illicit traf
fic, with tremendous profits. The
amount of these profits may be infer
red from the fact that the wholesale
price of cocaine or morphine for legi
timate purposes is about $12.50 an
ounce, and that an ounce of either
brings in the Illegitimate trade
$437.50. An ounce contains 437 1-2
apothecary grains, and the standard
price of the dope peddlers to addicts is
$1 a grain.
This huge margin of profit lures
many desperate characters Into the
traffic, and it makes them hungry
for more customers. The illicit
supply of drugs appears to be abund
ant, so abundant, in fact, that there
are numerous authenticated instances
in which peddlers have been detect
ed in cultivating drug addiction
among young people, in order to cre
ate new markets for their wares.
Despite the severe penalties imposed
by the courts for the sale of narcotics,
the number of arrests has continued
to multiply, and one explanation is
.the fact that a large majority of those
who are sentenced are not profes
sional peddlers, but are addicts who
have been inveigled or entrapped into
making sales out of their own per
sonal supplies. Federal Judges are
aware of this, but they defend the
practice of sentencing addicts as ped
dlers on the admittedly persuasave
ground that addicts can be cured only
under prolonged confinement.
Prior to the passage of the law,
drug addicts were known to the po
lice generally as a harmless class of
unfortunates. Their native timidity
and weakness, in fact, usually was
responsible for their surrender to the
habit. Before the sale of narcotics
was prohibited, are large majority of
addicts had jobs, usually of a light
menial character, by which they
earned enough to satisfy their crav
ings. When the Harrison act out
lawed the sale of drugs, thus enab
ling the Illicit peddlers to charge tre
mendous prices, many of the addicts
turned to crime as the only means
of getting money to buy what they
craved. Now they are constantly de
tected in property crimes, ranging all
the way from stealing automobile
accessories to robbing banks. Such
crimes were almost unknown prior
to the passage of the act.
When President. Hoover made in
quiries preliminary to appointing his
Commission on Law Enforcement, he
discovered that 33 per cent of the in-

mates of Federal prisons were sen
tenced under the Harrison act. At
the present time, the Government is
negotiating for the purchase of two
large farms, one in the Middle West
and another in the Far West, to
which some of these prisoners may
be transferred, thus relieving the
present prison congestion. It may be
said, of course, that the increasing
number of arrests and convictions un-
der the law merely prove that en-
forcement has become more effective.
But such a contention is contrary to
the experience of all those who are
connected with it. The fact is that
the enforcement of the Harrison act
has become steadily less efficient, due
to the transfer of experienced nar-
cotic enforcement agents to the pro-
niOltlOn Unil.
It is plain that the Harrison act
has not accomplished the purpose for
which It was intended. Whether that
is due to the act or to the enforce
ment methods, the PoBt-Dispatch does
not pretend to say. But we do say
that the situation urgently needs in
vestigating, so that the proper rem
edies may be ascertained and adopted

ciselv in line with the purpose for

The Federal bureau of education
informs the public that the average
American has more doctors at his

These statements, though"" presum

American rural districts common-

doctors. Agricultural organizations
have urged medical schools to create
special courses simpler, shorter, and
less costly for rural practioners so
that farming districts might obtain
mere readily some kind of medical
eervice. That request, fortunately has 1
not prevailed. The rural population
needs as competent physicians as
does the urban or tbe suburban popu-
