Much the same thing was said a few months ago with regard to Canadian journalists by Sir Robert Borden. Sir Robert said that; 1n the course of a. long political career he had found it necessary to take many newspapcrmen into his con- fidence regarding matters of state, and not once had that confidence been violated.

The Third Degree

(Monctcn Transcript) Canadians will read with interest the summaries made flvflflfible 0f the Wickersham Commission report on “Lawlessness in Law Enforce- ment.” It is described as a. tale of systematlzed police brutality. Spread lng over half of the United Stews _9, ten year record of 139GB! 1"" enforcement by barbarous third-de- gree methods. More than one hun- dred instances are given of extort- ed confessions in illustration of the conditions which the 00111111159011 condemns. The report “r895 113°" pregjgem; Hoover new legislation, or a. constitutional amendment i! necessary, mflabollsn "conduct so vlolatlve of the fundamental prin- ciples cf constitutional liberty."

Third degree methods and forced confessions are not tolerated under the British conception of law en- forcement which prevalls throughout; the entire Empire. British princip- les of fair play might almost be said in lean backward in the pro- tection of the rights of a. prisoner, no matter of what crime he {HEY be accused. It is not lnlsgulded sentimentality that is responsible for that attitude. It is a. strong sense of justice and an adequate appreciation of the rights of the individual. That it has not resulted in the encouragement or Crime is shown by the high standard of law enforcement and the low ratio of crime under the British flag.

While congratulating ourselves that the practices condemned» in the Wickersham report are practic- ally unknown ln this country, it would be well to examine the situ- ation‘ for the pllmose of discovering whether there is any danger of our turnip! 1n that direction. There 1s no justification for the use oi’ bru- tallty in dealing with prisoners, and particularly with those who have not been proven guilty of any offense, nor for the use of force of any description in extortlng confes- sions.

One given most frequently is the unwilingness of witness to testify concerning what they know of criminal acts and the general lack of public spirit upon which the police should be able m depend for assistance in their work, Ara Canadians entirely free from this- attitude?

Gog And Magog

(Ann Calder in G. R's Weekly) Few people, who see the Guild- hall Giants, realise the history of these ancient figures. When Cor- inaeus, an exile from Rome, was celebrating the anniversary of his conquest of Cornwall (Carin wall) he was suddenly attacked by a band of giants led by Gog Magog. In the hand-to-hand fight which ensued, all the giants were slain, save Gog Magog, himself.

was twelve cublts in height and the lower part of his face was wholly covered by a great beard. He. Ye- malning, attacked Corlnaeus with his long club and broke three cf his ribs. Ccdnacus, infuriated, re- doubled his efforts and gradually forced the giant backwards towardsi a neighboring cliff and then seizing‘ him suddenly by the waist, hurled him over. The cliff is known to this day as Lan goe magcg or the Giant's Leap. That is the story of the Giants. Early in the history of Ilofidcn, these two figures, which we call Gog and Magog but which are really figures of Gog- Mngog and Corlnaeus, became pop- ular effigies, which were carried 1n coyal progresses and other pageants.

The original figures were in bas- ket work and covered with tinsel paper. Though twelve foot high, they were light enough to be carried through the streets and the two giants who were enemies in life, but as inseparable as twins in basket- work, must have seen great changes in the succession of monarchs. They stood at Bridge House (the South- wark end of old Lander. FY1459) W welcome Bloody Mary and. her Spanish Philip with Latin verses in their hands and when, later on, Elizabeth, her sister, made state en- try into the city on her Coronation day, she found the Giants towering above the Gate of Temple Bar, wait- ing for her, as impartially as for her sister and in their hands us ole- gant a. greeting in as Latin vuse. Again, after the Restoration, when the d Charles was crowned. they,_ the same Giants, welcomed a different king in different circum- stances, on either side of the tri- umphal arch, at the King Street end cf Chcapslde.
