FIVE CEN TS A COPY No Vigilantes The Federal government has entrusted to the Bureau of investigation the duty of ail investigations in relation.to espionage, sabotage, subversive activities and viola- tions of:neutrality.regulations, and has re- quested.all: law enforcing-agýencies, how- e ver> small,, to cooperate with the FBI. Speaking of this in an, address before the annual convention of the, International. As- sociation of Chiefs of Police recently, J. Edgar Hoover, head of the bureau, said:, "Just as the dragnet. neyer served as 1a cure for crime, neither willsimilr'dies' be an effective, inoculation against espion- age. The paramount task .is to. secure the facts and establish the guilt of those -who, owe their allegiance to a. foreign power be- fore invoking the authority of law. This is the function of .duly constitutecd, capable and effiint law enforcing and investiga- tive bodies. Every effort must be directed in an orderly manner by responsible, well trained, professional law enforcement of- ficers, totally devoid of hysteria. The evil spirits which would destroy America must be met and conquered. In this there can be no middle ground. "In the wave of patriotism that is rising in the country there lies the danger of over- zealous grolvps or individua.1s engaging in acts wbich are distinctly un-Americ n i me thod, no matter how patriotic in aim. We need no vigilantes in this situation. The vigilante method is distinctly contrary to, the American ideals of justice. The FBI seeks the cooperation of all law enforce- mient officers. This combined attack by fed- eral and state forces should be sufficient so far as investigation and prosecution are ,concerned. Beyond these efforts there is a. need, of course, for the indivi.dual coopera- tion of all sincere and earnest Americans. This. should be limited, however, to passing on to, the nrouero fi-inI - recent years, ier'items be ias increased «"Freedom's base is free press," said IRepre- sentative BoUes of Wisconsin.

That suits us, just fine. If we have to get into a war, the present one is the very kind of a war we would choose. The soldiers of the two gireatest -1ighting ýmaetflnes in the wo-rld are certainly having a swell time, with nothing to do but enjoy theniselves. The Germans on one side and the French on the other, are fraterniz- ing like nobody's business. 0f course, one side or the other throws a firecraeker into the oppos- ing ranks, but it is always accompanied by a sly winlç which says as plainly as words, "~No offence, brother.
