...York Sun uttered it: "Mr. President . . . can we stay out of it?" Franklin Roosevelt sat in silent concentration, eyes down, for many long seconds. Then, with utmost solemnity, he replied: "I not only sincerely hope so, but I believe we can, and every effort will be made by this Administration...
...contraband, no arms with which she might prey on other ships on the way home, the inspectors poked and peered everywhere through the ship and took their sweet time, two days. One of them, amid much merriment, even managed to fall overboard (see cut p. 14). They even made the Bremen's crew go through lifeboat drill.

Clinching his points with many a keenly human story, he reviews such legal circuses as the trial of Bruno Hauptmann (Author Train thinks Hauptmann got what he should have got but not the way he should have got it), a legal lynching like that of Leb Frank, who, though probably innocent, was convicted of rape by a Georgia jury...
