"During the past fiscal year, the re port continues, "the activities of for eign propagandists in the United States have been particularly noticeable and careful attention has been given to this pernicious form of work within this country.

These laws reach the citizen as well as the alien. The dealing with ultraradicalism is only one of the many activities of the Department of Justice during the past fiscal year which are reviewed in the Attorney General's report. He calls at tention that while the department ceas ed last January its activities in the en forcement of prohibition, it is contin uing to co-operate in this work. PLENTY OF STILLS The Attorney General observes that there has been no decrease in the num- der the government guarantee against losses during the first six months af ter their return to private ownership and that there still is due an estimated $105,000,000 on this account. Out of 677 carriers entitled to guar antee payments, the commission says, 547 have filed claims, totalling $818.- 000.000, but payments of only. $536. 000,003 have been held justified by the commission's audit. No statement was made with respect to the difference be tween the roads' own summary o their losses during the six months and the government's findings. The roads which have not yet filed claims for losses, the report adds, are short lines and the total will be "relatively small." In its capacity as supervisor of rail road capital issues, the commission is sued during the- year certificates al lowing roads to issue stocks and bonds to a total of $1,715,000,000. the report says. The commission points out, however, that this total represented for the greatest part refunding opera tions, not involving new and increased investment. Discussing railroad earnings, the commission says the carriers' income and expenses have reflected the unset tled industrial conditions and that de spite he reduction of the working forces by half a million men. a low ering of the cost of materials and cuts in etriploj'es' pay the net earnings have not yet reached a rate of 6 per cent on the value of the properties de termined for the United States as a whole. The 6 per cent net, earning rate is that recognized by Congress in the Transportation Act as a fair re turn on the invested value. In its recommendations, the com mission asks Congress to reconsider section 28 of the Merchant Marine Act authorizing preferential rail rates on shipments of commodities for export in American bottoms, declaring that the ultimate effect "may be merely to di vert traffic from certain ports to others with little or no gain in tonnage for United State3 vessels."

Selective Service Act cases disposed of during the year numbered 1,803, the report says, the convictions numbering 148 with 130 pleas of guilty. Cases pend ing at the beginning of the last fiscal year numbered 28,087 and 1,331 new cases were begun. Violations -of the so-called disloyalty sections of the espionage act have greatly - decreased, according to the re port, which notes that only six cases were begun under the entire act during the fiscal year, while 41 cases were disposed of, 130 cases having been dock eted at the beginning of the year. Mr. Daugherty declares that as an organized system the white slave traf fic has been broken up, but adds that a great many individual cases still ex ist with the department making every effort to break up this practice also. Complaints arising under the Peonage Act increased during the year, the re port continues, "and peonage was found to exist to a shocking extent in Georgia, Alabama, and some parts of Texas." Sev eral convictions have been obtained and several prosecutions are pending, it is added. Among his specific recommendations, the Attorney General asks for enact ment of legislation, Authorizing the appointment of two federal judges at lai-ge for each of the nine judicial districts in order to assist in clearing congested court dockets; Making it a criminal offense to send through the mails letters threatening injury to. life or property; Authorizing the presence of steno graphers in grand jury rooms; Making it a crime for a single indi vidual to defraud or attempt to defraud the federal government in any manner, as the law now provides for the punish ment of "two or more persons who con spire to defraud."
