Fundamental differences between the attitude of this country and that of the United States seem to be im- plied in a new suggestion tor dealing with the problem ot the gang gunman. In this country the deal is to limit, and, it possible, to eliminate, the num- ber ot private citizens who are in pos- session ot those f1rearttts whose only real purpose is to serve as weapons ot offence. But in the United States. where over 10,000 people are said to be killed every year. exactly the op posits system is now advised. Colonel Goddard, who is rather oddly deg. cribed as “professor ot political science at Norttt-Wegtertt University. Chicago," and “arms and ammunition expert," recommends that every good American citizen should be equipped with a revolver and told to act as his own policeman in a great national campaign against “gunmen and hood. lums." It would he "tir contrary to the English tradition to encourage pri- vate citizens to believe that they must look to their own protection.
