HEART OF THE NATION
Speaking on the "Influence of the
Home in the Community," before the
Indianapolis Church Federation a few
days ago. Dr. Ernest N. Evans de
clared that "the heart of a nation is
in its home."
In America this truth conspicu
ously long has stood forth as one of
the nation's proudest boasts. It still
has validity, though tne sanctity of
the homes of the country sadly has
been invaded and old traditions have
become a subject for mockery and de
rision by some of the newer gener
ation who find in the seekings of
the Soviets a brighter dream of lib
erty, a new form of philosophy which
does not take cognizance, of the home
fireside and the home altar, so dear
to the Anglo-Saxon tradition.
Homes of the old style real
homes, gathered under the rooftree
of an individual residence perhaps
are not too popular in this hurrying
age, nor are large families. Chang
ing tides of thought, newer forms of
amusement, the cry of youth for a
greater personal freedom the in
sistent rush and roar and forward
hurry of trade and commerce, the
consequent shattering of old ideals of
life through the imposition of newer
customs, the stepping up of the tem
po of all modern activity, have af
fected the family life of the nation.
Of this there can be no doubt. But
t is not to be believed that the holiest
jand most fundamental of human in
stitutions is thereby dangerously
weakened in America.
Even the reckless mind will be
slow to agree that home life in Rus
sia of today is in any sense compar
able with that in the United States.
Economical necessity, in addition to
all the influences heretofore men
tioned, may touch, may change cue
character of the home life of this
country in a distinctive sense, but
nothing can shake the foundation
pillars of that place in which the joys
of life and love and liberty alone can
find fullest fruition.
This side of heaven there is noth
ing like the average American home
on earth. These homes shelter our
worth-while millions, and in them
if parents do their duty, as most of
them do are born and reared and
cultured the finest race of men and
women that the world has known.
This people well is aware that the
heart of the nation is in its home.
This is why America remains a bul
wark of strength against which all
the waves of foreign socialisms must
beat and break in vain.
THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY
Prof. John R. Commons of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin says it is the
intense nationalism characteristic of
all peoples that makes it impossible
to rationalize the international econ
omy. Nevertheless, it is helpful to have
the International Chamber of Com
merce, which met in Washington last
week, resolve that the war debts
and reparations should not take pre
cedence over trade and commerce be
tween the nations, that tariffs should
not discriminate unfairly between
nations, and that excessive arma
ments impose upon the world a bur
den beneath which there can be
neither happiness nor prosperity.
These arc- all political matters, not
to be altered outright by even such
an organization as an international
ussocia'ion of bankers and indus
trialists; but it is from such things
that public opinion is everywhere
made. Tc renin e armaments is the
most difficult cl all political feats.
No people willingly impose upon
themselves such a burden as that
which the International Chamber of
Commerce conceives to lie at the bot
tom of the world's economic ills. The
nations fear one another, and as
long as that is the case they will arm
to the teeth. How firmly even an Im
pregnable nation like our own can
turn it back upon such an ideal as
that wiiich seeks to advance out of
mutual distrust and excessive arma
ments was illustrated by our apos
tasy to the League of Nations.
The war debts and reparations, as
well as hurtful tariffs, lie in a more
hopelul domain. We can ourselves
set the good example of reasonable
tariffs as readily as we have already
set the bad example of unreason
able tariffs. Mr. Coolidge thinks the
war debts are in nowise singular and
we would just as well talk of forgiv
ing our debtors all around; but Mr.
Coolidge is mistaken. An enlighten
ed self-interest hesitates to believe
hat the vicious economic circle which
has resulted from thrusting the cost
of the war upon Germany is a good
t'ting for the international economy.
Tbe ;. latter of war debts and repar
ations, like the matter of tradin
with Russia, illustrates how things
that are economic can rise to plague
us when we insist upon making them
political. Neither Germany nor Rus
sia can be lightly counted out of the
international economy, and the world
has no more salutary lesson to learn
than that the interdependence of all
nations is too great for either poli
tical intolerance or international ven
geance.
The world is a political cockpit
not a mart. The International
Chamber of Commerce itself recog
nized this when it remained silent as
to our trade with Russia. The point
of view of business fails to compre
hend all the forces which enter into
the shaping of human affairs. It is in
its nature acquisitive, oftentimes sel
fish. Thus, at the session of the Am
erican Chamber of Commerce, one of
the aids suggested for the times was
that the anti-trust laws be liberal
ized, despite Attorney-General Mitch
ell's warning only a few days before
that to do so would be to do more
evil than good. Another suggestion
was that taxes upon business should
be abated. As a matter of fact, it
would alter the situation very little.
if any. The industrialist who ex
ports to foreign countries similarly
exaggerates the contribution to hard
times. Our exports are only 10 per
cent of our whole volume of trade.
It is probable that the situation in
the United States affects the rest of
the world to an even greater degree
than the situation in the rest of the
world affects the United States. As
the great creditor nation of the world
we set to a marked degree the tempo
of the times.
The most that can be said of these
matters now is that the world has
begun to think. Meanwhile, it is
not improbable that th. most immed
iate service we can render the inter
national economy is to first mend our
own.
:o:
The press dispatches carry many
queer stories nowadays. A Brooklyn
woman is seeking divorce from her
husband, alleging that he choked her
when he came home one night and
complained that he heard a man's
voice in the house. The wife explain
ed that it was only the radio, but
the husband insists that he found a
policeman hidden in the closet.
:o:
One of the surprising things in
this fickle life of ours, if you have
ever stopped to think about it, is
that the much harassed cross-word
puzzle is still alive and lusty eight
years after the experts predicted it
would die a speedy and quiet death.
:o:
Clara Bow, the red-headed "It"
girl, is afflicted with a nervous
breakdown and compelled to quit
work for a few weeks. If Clara has
many more troubles she will be a
grey-haired old maid.

ACCURATE CRIME STATISTICS
The formulation of a national pro
gram of crime prevention is neces
sarily dependent upon the existence
of such actual knowledge as can be
supplied only by a comprehensive
body of reliable statistics on crime,
criminals and the administration of
justice.
Present statistics in this field, how
ever, have been found by the Wick
ersham commission to be "unsystem
atic, often inaccurate and more often
incomplete." Nation-wide criminal
statistics are now compiled and pub
lished by three different bureaus of
the Federal Government. The chil
dren's Bureau of the Department of
Labor collects statistics on penal in
stitutions. The Bureau of Investiga
tion in the Department of Justice col
lects statistics of offenses known to
the police. In the opinion of the
commission, "It cannot be perman
ently desirable to have penal statis
tics compiled and published in one
bureau, police statistics in another
and statistics of juvenile delinquency
in a third, especially as these bu
reaus are in three distinct depart
ments." Statistics of prosecutions and
courts, moreover, are not now nation
ally collected or published. The de
velopment and consolidation of all
these groups of statistics in a single
bureau would insure their compara
bility, improve the methods by which
they are compiled, and promote eco
nomical collection.
The Wickersham ccmniission has
therefore recommended the adoption
ol a comprehensive plan which calls
for eventual commitment of all this
statistical work to the Bureau of the
Census. It hopes ultimately to see
bureaus of criminal statistics creat
ed in each state for the collection of
state-wide data, which can be used
by the states in meeting their own
problems of law enforcement and, at
the same time, transmitted to Wash
ington lor inclusion in an annual
report which will give complete and
accurate information on crime, crim
inals, police, prosecutions, courts and
prisons. Such a report would afford
the country full and continuous
knowledge concerning the enforce
ment of the criminal law.
Fortunately, the adoption of this
policy is not dependent upon con
gressional action. Under the author
ity of legislation passed at the last
session, the Bureau ol the Census
can gradually extend the scope of its
statistical work until it comes to
cover the entire field. A complete
national system of criminal statistics,
to be sure, is not to be achieved in a
day. But. at least, the policy enun
ciated by the Law Enforcement Com
mission and the authority given to
the Census Bureau by Congress have
now brought us appreciably nearer
to the attainment of this objective.
:o:
AN ARABIAN KINGDOM
The State Department Just has an
nounced that the United States is ex
tending full diplomatic recognition
to the dual kingdom of the Hedjaz
and Nejd and its dependencies in
Arabia that land of romance and
dreams, of fabled tales which be
guiled the fancy of our childhood.
Nearly all the principal Governments
of Europe likewise have recognized
the new sovereignty.
King Ibn Saud is a warrior and
administrator. He carved the new
kingdom and for a long time has
made his authority supreme. He has
maintained order and political and
economic stability within his bor
ders. In a sense, aided by the march
of events, he has compelled this re
cognition. He is master of most of
the Arabian peninsula. The capital
of the Hedjas is Mecca, while that
of the Nejd is Riyadh.
The King of the dual kingdom has
seen the automobile displace tne
mighty caravans which lmmemorial-
ly had wended their precarious way
to the holy capital of the Mohamme
dan world. These now chiefly carry
the pilgrims who aspire to wear the
green turban.
So goes the roc and the flying car
pet; the pearls and the riches of Sin
bad now will be sought by riders of
the modern chariot, and the smell of
gasoline will in the future mingle
with the perfume of the Persian rose.
We are willing enough to assent
in anything which increases the
chances of a fresh old age for our
selves, but when the department of
agriculture at Washington proposes
a mtbed of dealing with eggs that
will give them an apparent bloom of
youth after they have lain long in
in storage, that is different.
