Justice cannot come if poiit ivs is determined to "fix" things for the criminal. Secondly, shyster lawyers take s in laws tdvantoge of the to delay the trial, so that there is too great a lime between the crime end the trial. The length of time between the arrest and nal determines the strength of conviction." Again, there is intimidation of witnesses and juries.

Introduced by Professor Joseph Symons of the USAC, he announcwould be "Hull ed his auhject Felon, Well Met," and then proceeded to Rive figures that prove the United States is the most lawless nation on earth. "We lead the civi'ized world in crime," he declared. "In fact, we are so advanced in this profession that wc are 100 years ahead of any other nation. We are natural-born leaders in this respect. "If Canada and United States weie compared in this respect, there would be a disheartening picture. In Cook county, Illinois, which has about five or six million people, there were 2594 robberies in one year, while during the same period of time there were 605 in the whole of Canada. The same time there were 212 murders in Cook county, and 57 in Canada. of the entire province There were 1930 prisoners in Joliet, and by strange coincidence, exactly the same number in all of the penal institutions of Canada. Nation of Criminals So you see, we are a nation of criminals. And what is the reason? It is because in our country there is corrupt, lax and inefficient administration of justice. Dr. Hepbron then reviewed several factors the world has considered to be the cause of crime. The "depravity of the soul theory he discredited. A person's wickedness is not due to the devil being in his soul, he said. In the past, have mainsome criminologists tained there are born criminal tvnes which could be determined by facial or bodily characteristics. But when a test showed that criminals in penal institutions passed higher mentality tests than the draft army of United States, then the guards of the prisons, and in some cases, higher than the wardens, then that theory had to be discarded. "Some believe the crime problun endotrinojs is due to defective glands," he scoffed. To show you what I think of that, I will read a piece of poetry, although it is not spring." He then presented a verse which ended saying: by "When someone is killed, call the of the instead doctor police." No Specific Cause You can't put a finger on any one cause of crime, according to Dr. Hepbron. It is due in part to in part to economic conditions, heredity, to environment, but the big factor is the dirty and inefficient administration of justice. "The first question any criminal asks himself is: "Can I get away with the thing I am going to undertake?" he pointed out. "And if he believes he can, he'll commit the crime. As a matter of fact, criminals in this country do not have to run a very great ri ik of getting caught. Recent statistics of one bureau show that one in thirteen are caught for the crimes they commit." To show the rotten way in which justice miscarries. Dr. Hepbron then took this one criminal that is caught-t- he other twelve are never bothered and showed the mess of spongy corruption which engulfs the efforts of justice in bringing him to account for his crimes.
