WHAT ABOUT GERMAN BONDS I
Germany, in its role as the world's
leading debtor, has contracted bil
lions of. dollars of obligations to pri
vate investors. Particularly have
Americana been liberal buyers of Ger
man bonds. The last calculation
shows that the United S.ates. with an
investment of nearly $1,500,000,000.
has purchased 70 per cent of the to
tal loans issued by Germany since
192 4. The most important were the
so-called Dawes and Young loans, en
thusiastically received in America.
The holders of these bonds are
wondering how they will fare in the
event of German recourse to the mor
atorium clauses of the Young plan.
Not a single dollar will be affected.
The moratorium applies- to the debts
payable to governments, not those
which are a direct responsibility of
i he German Government to private
persons.
Nor will the moratorium extend to
to the total .sum which Germany pays
in reparations. Only two-thirds of
the annuity will be affected. This is
tailed the postponablt portion. It
corresponds to the amount which the
receiving governments have to pay in
war debts to the United States. The
remainder, which is destined to meet
reparations proper, is nonpostpon
able. It was the idea of the authors
of the Young plan that this portion
should be commercialized; in lay
language, that the German Govern
ment should float bonds and. with
the borrowed money, pay this por
tion of its obligation to the creditor
governments. The effect would e,
of course, merely to change an obli
gation to government to an obliga
tion to world investors.
Only one such operation out of
what was intended to be a series has
so far been effected. This is the so
called Young loan of last year, which
yielded about $300,000,000, or about
an eighth of the capital sum of non
postponable reparations. Here is
where the misapprehension of bond
holders has apparently been aroused.
Yet. as with all other commercial
obligations, the Young loan is a di
rect and unconditional obligation of
the German Reich, and is thus out
side the scope of the moratorium fea

tures of the Young plan.
What the future of Germany may
bring forth is in the lap of European
and American statesmanship. Some
idea of the American stake in Ger
many may be gathered from the fig
ures of investments. Bui, looked at
in its immediate connection, the se
curity of German bonds would be
strengthened rather than weakened
by recourse to the moratorium fea
tures of the Young plan. Clearly, if
Germany need not transfer repara
tions to governments, it will have
ttir. t much more money available to
meet its commitments to world investors.

BORAH BEGINS TO BLEAT
Between elections, Senator Borah
of Idaho roars like a lion. Then he
is a great "progressive," independent,
the merciless and fearless critic of
the reactionaries. But when election
time begins to draw near, the lion
of Idaho starts to bleat like a lamb.
In fact, when the election actually
is on. Senator Borah is likely to be
foud on the stump campaigning for
the election of a reactionary presi
dent. No one man did more to elect Her
bert Hoover than did Borah, who
since has been one of Mr. Hoover's
severest critics. Yet now, with an
election coming next year, the cour
ageous Borah is piping down. He's
beginning to bleat again. Word comes
from Washington that Mr. Borah is
discouraging progressives who want
to go out and make a real fight on
the renoinination of President Hoo
ver. This, of course, is not surprising.
To those who have watched Senator
Borah's futile career in what passes
for statesmanship in these days, it
was only a question of when his cour
age would begin to ooze through his
pores. It's oozing already, and no
body should be shocked to see Mr.
Borah on the stump again urging the
re-election of Mr. Hoover next year
when the leaves begin to turn. For
he's one of the great progressives,
this Borah one of the greatest of
the progressives. Milwaukee Jour

THE VITAL FACTOR
OF GRAIN
RATES
There is no longer any doubt that
the railroads generally are disposed
to demand substantial increases In
freight rates. Eastern lines are for
rtui.ating the:- applies. tun ti the in
terstate commerce commission. South
ern lines have expressed their inten
tion to follow suit. Officials of
western roads are said to be watch
ing developments elsewhere to guide
them. Meanwhile, the western group
has taken the last resort course of
appealing to the courts to prevent the
reduction in grain rates ordered by
the commission in western territory
Court action was taken only after the
railroads had used every other means
of delaying the cut, which was order
ed a year ago last April.
Railroad officials base their claim
for higher rates primarily on their
losses to competing transportation
trucks, busses, waterways and pipe
lines. Yet these losses are due mainly
to the lower rates offered by competi
tors, although promptness and direct
ness of collection and delivery are
factors. There has been a good deal
cf astonishment that the railroads
s'.iould prose to meet low cost com
petition by raising their own rates.
Railroads are seeking higher net
earnings on the ground they are not
making profits approximately the
5 per cent permitted under the
transportation act. That rate is not
a guarantee, but a maximum allow
ed without any recapture of profits
for the benefit of the less remuner
ative lines. Railroads show a disposi
tion not to accept their due share of
general declines In profits due to de
pression. The grain states are perhaps the
most itally interested in prospec
tive changes in freight charges, be
cause of the low status of agricul
ture compared with its past records
and w.th other industries at this
time. These same states also are
deeply concerned in all factors affect
ing the livestock business.
The Kansas public service com
mission has just issued a statement
in which it is shown that grain rates
now are 47 per cent higher than be
fore the war. while the purchasing
power of the Kansas farmer's wheat
is 6i: per cent lower. It takes three
bushels to buy as much transporta
tion now as one bushel purchased
in the pre-war period. It is on the
basis of this injustice to the pro
ducers that the interstate commerce
commission ordered for reductions
that now are pending In the federal
court of Illinois.
Should the railroads be sustained
by the court, it is probable that the
western lines would join with the
eastern and southern in a demand
for general rate increases. Should
the suggested 10 per cent horizontal
increase eventually be allowed, the
grain rates would be increased 26
per cent over the charges ordered
by the interstate commission. Ac
cording to the Kansas commission,
basing its estimates on July futures
at Kansas City, the Kansas farmer
will get about 40 cents per bushel
at his shipping point for the 1931
crop, while the pre-war price, taking
the average of 1909-13, was 85 cents.
At the same time, according to the
department of agriculture, the farm
er is paying for things he buys an
average of 36 per cent more than
pre-war prices. The two factors, re
duced to a common percentage, show
that Kansas wheat now will purchase
only 35 per cent of what it purchased
immediately preceding 1914. If rates
should be increased, of course, this
purchasing power would decline still
further.
On the other hand, since 1922, the
railroads of the western district have
earned more than 100 per cent of
their pre-war net profits up to and
including 1929, when the rate was
108 per cent.
The exact figures for -930 are not
at hand, but the earnings of the
western district were substantially
lower than the year preceding, and
are running lower now. But the rail
roads had prosperous years before the
present decline in earnings. The sur
plus account of the lines in the west
ern district in the pre-war period offi
1909-13 average 877 millions, but
it had increased by 1929 to more
than 2 billions, or 136 per cent. The
interstate commerce commission fre
quently has proceeded on the theory
that it must consider trends in earn
ings rather than passing fluctuations.
Of all the interests affected by
proposed increases, that of grain is
most acutely concerned, a fact re
cognized by the interstate commis
sion in its now suspended ruling. A
comparison with the grain industry
at its best and the condition of the
carriers in the western district at its
worst leaves the advantage heavily
on the side of the railroads. This
lack of balance, it would seem, should
appeal to the carriers as well as to
the grain producers, for in a large
measure their interests are common
in the states affected.
WHY CRIMINALS ES
CAPE PUNISHMENT
The criminal escapes punishment
through the failure of prosecutors
to prosecute far more often than he
does through the failure of a trial
jury to convict. Such is the finding
of the Wickersham commission as
given in its latest report, dealing
with the subject of prosecution. The
commission has found that relatively
few such escapes result from acquit
tals by a trial jury. In New York
City only 4.3 per cent of the releases
followed jury trials; in Chicago 2.7
per cent, in Cleveland 8.5 per cent,
in Cincinnati 5.8 per cent and in St.
Louis 12.1 per cent.
Few prosecutions ever reach the
jury stage. In Xew York City the
number is 4.7 per cent, in Chicago
3.8 per cent. In Cleveland 13.6 per
cent, in Cincinnati 11.8 per cent and
in St. Louis 13 per cent. The jury
trial, it appear-, plays a relatively
minor role in the disposition of the
offender.
A far greater number of leaks in
the administration of justic occur in
the office of the prosecutor. Indict
ments may be dismissed by nolle
prosequi; cases may be dismissed for
want of prosecution; or they may
be settled without trial by the ac
ceptance of a plea of guilty to a
lesser offense than the one charged.
These maters are largely within the
discretion of the prosecutor. He can
decide which offenses are to be prose
cuted, which laws are to be enforced.
This power makes his position crucial
in the administration of the criminal
law.
Because he can stop prosecutions,
the Prosecuting Attorney's office be
comes a political prize and organized
law breakers find it to their interest
to control it. He is subjected to poli
tical pressure. The appointment of
his subordinates becomes a matter of
patronage. Usually his staff is com
posed of young beginners. And its
rate of turnover is high. The equip
ment, organization, system and meth
ods of the prosecutor's office are
generally defective. His salary is
low, his term of office short and his
tenure uncertain. Because his office
is elective, he frequently adopts an
ineffective, perfunctory routine for
the general run of cases and seeks
publicity by the spectacular treat
ment of exceptional, sensational
cases.
The prosecutor combines the func
tions of investigator, magistrate, so
licitor and advocate. His work as an
investigator gives rise to senational
publicity and reacts adversely on the
quality of his work as a lawyer. At
the same time, the policeman, the
sheriff .the coroner and the prose
cutor each goes his own way. There
is no organization which compels the
agencies of law enforcement to co
operate. The administration of the
law is decentralized. The local pros
ecutor is independent of central con
trol. The result is a diffusion of re
sponsibility which often results in
failures of enforcement.
The commission's program of re
form calls for better selection, longer
tenure and higher pay for the prose
cutor and his staff. It also recom
mends the creation in each state of
a central executive office beyond the
reach of local politics for the direc
tion of prosecutions, and the unified
control of the state's entire machin
ery of law enforcement. Such an of
fice, built upon the model of the Fed-
