OAKLAND TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 9, 1935 9 VOTERS HEAR OF LAW ENFORCEMENT Problems Confronting State Are Outlined for League By Alameda Attorney By ALICE RYAN ROOD DEL MONTE, confronting the State in its better administration of justice were outlined here today by Richard Chamberlain, assistant district attorney of Alameda County, in a talk made at the annual conventione of the California League Voters. Need of coordination between law enforcing agencies, and necessity of adequately tequipping them to deal with racketeers gangsters was declared vital by the attorney in a discussion of four amendments voted upon last oNvember, designed to improve judicial conditions. Voicing the belief that the question of law enforcement and better administration of justice is not confined to the police, but also lies with prosecuting agencies and the judiciary, Chamberlain predicted a breakdown in the system if the three agencies did not function together. NEUTRALITY DISCUSSED Edwin D.

Dickinson, professor of international law at University of California, told the women voters here last night that "a policy of neutrality 1 is not a charter of security in such a period as the world is now experiencing." "The weakness of the Joint resolution of neutrality, proclaimed by President Roosevelt, is that it is limited to embargo on arms, ammunition and implements of war and does not include basic raw materials, such as copper and cotton, which at" the present moment are much more important to Italy," Professor Dickinson declared. The United States is more determined to stay out of the European situation than it has been for the last 100 years, he stated. In spite of this determination the educator expressed the opinion that "it doesn't make any difference where you draw the line, but once a war of major proportion breaks out you have a problem, and there is no such thing as a formula providing us with security."
