January 16, 19-W. !\ol Interference When business recogni7.es the lasting possi bilities through governmental regulation and stops howling about interference, then the na tion will have taken a forward step toward recovery. The efforts of the present administration in Washington have been branded as interference when the government w.as merely tryuig tu help business, large and small. It has been the attitude of some that if they could not have all the cake and a free-eating range, they would not play the game with the millions of others who want to live. There are some criminals who regard the law with contempt and who earnestly believe that when an officer steps in to hold up law and order he is only interfering with their busi ness and threatening their rights. Much of this talk about free enterprise is un founded. The talkers are not interested in free enterprise for everyone; they merly want a free licnse to destroy any thing that gets into their path. Possibly much of the-regulation now exper ienced by business was invited by business it self En farcin# the Iaiu It has been the custom during long centuries to pass laws and turn the job of enforcing them to the comparatively few officers. The difficul ty of the officers' task can be more readily rec ognized once one turns the spotlight on the com paratively new law requiring immunization of all babies under twelve months of age as well as all children entering school for the first time. In a single hospital twenty-eight diphtheria patients were treated within a 90-day period. Nine of them required tracheotomy and three of them died. That's the report from one North Carolina hospital. A complete report for the en tire State would present a dark picture, no doubt. In this county there were 20 cases of diphtheria last year, the disease claiming at least two lives. It isn't a spirit of censoring those who fail to have their children immunized against diph theria that the record is called to attention, but to point out how difficult law enforcement real ly is. It is true that none, at least, none in this county, has been prosecuted for not having their babies immunized, but why should prosecution be necessary? It is no more than reasonable to believe that the added safety of a little child should be sufficient reason for every parent to want to obey the lajfc_ ?? But for one reason or another we half-heart edly recognize the law and continue on our way ignoring the wanting signs as we go along. In short, if a matter of life and death does not prompt observance of the law, how can we ex pect a handful of officers to effect its observ Better Marriage Lates Th?? vine nf better marrisgr recognized by more states as less importance is centered on the marriage bureau as a source of revenue. Virginia is now advocating a mar riage law requiring ite- subjects to submit to certain health tests before marriage receives the legal blessing of the state. It is quite apparent that a marked decrease in the number of marriages has followed the passage of a health law in this State almost a year ago. Couples have jumped across state lines and helped defeat the purpose of the law, possibly in some cases defeating their own wel fare. With Virginia recognizing the common welfare rather than "worshipping the almighty dollar, another step is being taken to save thoughtless people from themselves. Trapped Like Rat* Pathetic news seeped from the bottom of a Mark pit out in the heart of the Wast Virginia mining district a few days ago when scores of human beings were trapped like rats deep in the bowels of the earth. there have been errors made by it and that some of its methods ad vanced toward accomplishing a certain end are due harsh criticism, one can't help but send up a shout in hehalf of the CIO for its work in re lieving thousands of men who have been led around as the rat in a maze deep down in the earth The catastrophe out in West Virginia a few days ago is indeed unfortunate, but not so long ago mine owners are credited with actual ly contributing to the conditions that led to the certain death of miners at frequent intervals. Explosions and cave-ins at one time were rec ognized as an element of nature, the mine own ers. the records show, in most eases lefusing tu accept any responsibility in the burial of the victim or in the care of the loved ones left be hind by the victim. As much as some hate to admit it. the CIO has helped to improve the de plorable conditions that once existed in the coal pit. It has been several days since the scores of men were trapped in the Hartley mine, but as far as it can be learned not a single industrial ist has lifted his voice in behalf of other min ers who are subject to similar fate just as cer tain as they enter the mine shaft in the morn ing.?News of the explosion and its costly toll have appeared on the front pages, but we say, "It is bad," and soon forget all about it. If the miner is due harsh criticism for at tempting to organize his strength, he is also due some consideration When danger expresses itself in such an uncertain manner. ?And while attention is focused on the C6ai mine that old question bobs up again: "Who in the heck owned the coal mines back yonder, and who owns them now, and how did the pres ent owners get them?" Criminal Clast News And Observer. Is there a criminal class? Many of us certainly think of such a class as growing out of poverty and slums, mental incapacity and ignorance. It ii Qi..r?.fr.rp heBT fmiTl Df FkV'" etiological Society, that the worse criminal class may move in the best-fed and most respected circles. Speaking at a mint session of that society, the American Economic Association and the Rural Sociological Society, Dr. Sutherland described present-day white collar criminals as "more suave and deceptive" than last century's "rob ber barons" and asserted that "in many periods more important crime news may be found on the financial pages of newspapers than on the Using for his basis what he declared was the high incidence of crime in business and the pro fessions, Dr. Sutherland denied that crime was "closely correlated with poverty or with the psychopathic and sociopathic conditions associ ated with poverty." "The conventional explanations are invalid, principally because they are derived from bi ased samples," he said, "samples that have not included vast areas of criminal behavior of per sons not in the lower class." Dr. Sutherland stated that white collar crim inality flourished at points "where powerful business and professional men come in contact with persons who are weak," and added: "In this respect it is similar to stealing candy from a baby. Many of the crimes of the lower class, on the other hand, are committed against persons of wealth and power in the form of bur glary and robbery. For that reason the laws which apply to the lower class have been im plemented much more efficiently than those which apply to the upper class." The sociologist said that white-collar crimes in business and the professions consisted chief ly in "violation of delegated or implied trust" and might be reduced to two categories, "mis representation of asset values and duplicity in the manipulation of money." "The financial cost of white-collar crime," Dr. Sutherland went on, "is probably several times as great as the financial cost of the crimes which are customarily regarded as the crime problem. An officer of a chain grocery store in one year embezzled $600,000, which was six times as much as the annual losses from 500 burglaries and robberies of the stores in that chain." But the financial loss, great as it was, he said, was less important "than the damage to social relations" resulting from white-collar crime, be cause this form of crime "violates trust and therefore creates distrust, which lowers social morale and produces social disorganization on a large scale." This is disturbing doctrine though undoubt edly there is truth in it. There have always been great villains in high places as well as rogues in low places. But we have put great faith in the years behind us in the idea that an educated citizenship would be a good citizen ship. Now we hope that the elimination of slums and the alleviation of poverty will eliminate crime. Yet the sad truth remains that there is crime where there is no pressure of poverty. There is crime in the learned professions as well as among the-vagabonds. -The best dress ed gentlemen may be the most sneaking thieves. But such a realization is not basis for de spair. It is, indeed, the only basis for a sound dealing with crime. Of course, there is a crim inal class: It is composed of the criminals. Hon est men will begin fo triumph over them when they are willing to deal with them on that ba sis and that basis alone, regardless of their clothes or their addresses, their friends or their bank accounts. Crooks are distinguished by their crookedness, not by the difference be tween white collars and no collars at all. NOTE OF APPRECIATION To the Editor: Through the columns of the En terprise. I wish to take this oppor tunity w> express my appreciation for the excellent cooperation and friendly associations during 1939 from the people of Martin County, the Board of Health, and your pa per.
