Uncle Sam Still Holds Back as Europe Begs
A political column mocks Europe’s calls for aid while praising American caution. It notes veterans’ protest in Washington over the Unknown Soldier tribute and reports on a Kansas City kidnapping case led by Martin Deputy alias Marshall Depew, with Missouri’s harsh stance on death for kidnappers. It contrasts Missouri’s death penalty stance with the Republic of Columbia's quick verdict on partial prohibition and warns against bootlegger financing should prohibition end.
