Tune in on him some I time. I OFFER BILL TO ABOLISH DEATH PENALTY IN ENG. I London.-- Should the death penalty I be abolished? I With the advent of the laibor gov- I ernment the old controversy has been I revived in England with renewed vig I or. I Rhys Davis, M.P., under secretary I for horfie affairs, has promised that I in the near future the subject will I he inquired into with care and a final I decision reached disposing of the ques- I tlon once and for all so far as Eng- I land is concerned. The home aecre- I tary has the power of reprieve an<l I many holders of the office have felt I most poignantly the terrible responsi- I bility of the decision as to whether a I person should be hurled into eternity I I or not. In order to provide full opportunity I for the country to express its views on the matter a bill will be introduced in Parliament AYril 4. providing for the abolishment of the death penalty, ex- : cept for military offenses. The Howard League for Penal Re- | form has been one of the most active i 1 organizations against the sacrificing of ■ i human life in the cause of justice. An official of that organization has pointF ed out that most European countries have already done away with the prac- • tice. >■ The following nations have definitea ly abolished capital punishment: Ause tria. Holland, Italy. Russia, Portugal, t Norway, Rumania. Sweden. EsthonU. t. • Lithuania. Other countries in whl< h < the death penalty is nominally retaini, rd but is practically obsolete are: >- Belgium, no execution for 60 years; s Itenmark, no exe< ution for 30 years; I) Finland, no execution for 99 years except during one year of political trouble. •'As to whether the abolition of the death sentence operates toward an in crease or dlminutron of homicide.** - Davis said, "the truth, I think, is well i illustrated by the state of affairs in e America. I "If one takes the six states of the « Union in which murder is least coin t mon, one finds that three of them - have abolished the death penalty and r that three have not. The states are: New Hampshire, death penalty In opr eratlon; Maine, death penalty abolished; Vermont, death penalty in opr eration: Wisconsin, death penalty abolished; Massachusetts, death penalty in operation; Michigan, death penalty abolished. "In all these states the homicide rate is less than four per 100.000 of the population. The rate la the lowest r «f ait In Maine, which abolished capita) punishment In 1876. 1 think these facts sufficiently show that abolition does not mean an Increased number of murders." —■ o Americans Ate More Meat During The Year The "helpings" of meat on Ameri . can tables were larger in IM3 than In any other year of the past fifteen, arcording to estimates Just published by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. The greatest increase waa In the turn of potk. which was a bumper crop, but there was some in. crease In the consumption of all other Linda of meat. Foreign countries, particularly Germany, In spice of fin an<la| troubles, helped in dispose of the enormous supply of p'irk. The production and innsumptlnu of moat for the year was the greatest In mcr history, though the consumption per head of the population was exceeded one*, namely In l»08, wh»n the figure wag 170.9 pounds an compared with 167 0 pounds In 1923. Tha figures for each year as complied by the department included the total -.laughter, divided Into fed<*ralh J Inspected and that not luapacted; ex•. Jporta and Imports; and consumption.
