boycott would injure the nationals and investments
of other nations in Japan, and there also is a feeling
that a boycott may cause trouble that could easily
bring about areal war.
But there are other economic measures that can be
taken, and undoubtedly should be taken to show Japan
that the public opinion of the rest of the world must
be respected. Perhaps the American idea of a "peace
bond", applied to belligerent individuals could be ap-
plied to nations, so that a large sum of money would
be forfeited in case of treaty violation.

"■■x THELMOST DESPICABLE CRIME
Without a doubt, the crime of baby kidnaping is the
most despicable and heart-rending of all acts of law-
lessness. When this crime is perpetrated on adults,
it is bad enough, but when babies are the direct vie-
tims and frantic parents are the chief sufferers, this
type of criminal activity ranks at the very bottom of
the list. Even among criminals, only the most har-
dened and heartless will stoop to such a crime.
The kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby has focused
public attention upon this form of crime as nothing
else has in years. The boy may be returned safely,
but the fear of more kidnaping KempU will last for
years. Other prominent people Wth babies also will
have this fear, for although the crime of baby kid-
naping is not often committed, every parent will
take double precautions to see that his child isn't the
victim. - .

fact, ether great expositions, such as have been held
in at Louis and Chicago, have required more time
