Two great fields exist in which there is heroic I do not call this punishment. I do not believe that work to be done. One of these is parentage. If the parents February, 1937 The Notre Dame Alumnus 123 of America cannot realize for themselves that a lack cause and effect. If a child is unhampered in any of its of kindly guidance, of unswerving vigilance has had desires, then indeed it is unfair to say that child is a much to do with the tremendous rise of crime among criminal. Rather, it has been the father and the mother the young, then youth must teach parentage this lesson. who allowed this child to tread any path it chose who It would be a shameful yet nevertheless eye-opening ex have done the criminal act and yet it is youth which must perience for a number of our parents if the youth whom suffer through the fact that of every hundred persons they have beti-ayed were to assemble facts and were to who fall into the hands of police seventeen are boys display to them the numerous ways in which they have and girls. failed to do their duty to their oiTspring.

It is not generous for a parent to turn its oifspring free GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED BY MASS EFFORT from all fetters and allow it to run wild in a world which contains as many jungles of criminality as does I believe that all of you at Kotre Dame know the ours.

No one can build an enduring edifice upon a dren to see where parentage has failed and then carry worm-eaten foundation. No one can be safe by placing this news to other parents like these. I believe this can be stones on quicksands. Your duty, therefore, is to teach done and I hopa that it will be done. I believe that the the facts of crime, to argue the facts of crime, to dis day will come when the cause behind crime will be as play the facts of crime. Your obligation is that you are fully culpable as the crime itself. your brother's keeper, you are the person responsible for the rescue of your own kind. You are the one who must carry the message wherever you go that nothing of a decent clean nature was ever committed through NUMEROUS FORCES AID CRIMINAL an act of filth. In the investigation into the numerous public enemies There is nothing romantic about crime. There is whom our Bureau has apprehended. Special Agents found nothing to be gained by it. There is nothing in any of that not one of them could have existed without the aid its phases which can be viewed from a standpoint of of numerous other forces.

Few of these is useless, degi'ading, unclean. He who contemplates a persons would ever have existed had it not been for the crime does so for personal gain. He who learns that there results of early training or lack of training which gave is no gain in crime perhaps will not look upon it with them the fixed belief that there always would be someone as much favor. to assist them, always someone to seek freedom for them, always someone to pet and pamper them and take their And so, I hope that I have made some friends today; side of the question when they have violated first a home friends who will work with me toward a common goal; law, then a neighborhood law, and then a community law. friends who will seek, in their own homes, in their own surroundings, to build toward a time when we will have The most unfortunate axiom which America possesses the greatest nation of efficient, honest, law-enforcement is that our crime all too often starts in the cradle and in the world.
