Cunnlng- |»ani off Rochester and concurred in by the other just- iiCeSj the'Appellate Division, Fourth Department, of •the'Supreme Court ha« sharply reminded public of- ficials of this state, including police officers of their Obligations under the amended state constitution Which went into effect January 1, 1939. . Three Buffalo policemen who refused to sign wai- vers of immunity and testify before the special grand 'jury investigating city affairs, on the groundthat flucn testimony would 'incriminaic them, are branded in effect as violators of the state constitution and veil- ed warning is given thai officials who follow the course they have adopted are open to suspicion. Under the amendment in question, public officers 1 Who refuse to testify concerning their conduct in of- lice or to Hlgn a waiver of immunity against subso- ' quent criminal prosecution, are liable to removal from office. The Buffalo police nlficcrs, admitting that they did not wli?h to Incriminate themselves by answering questions in the grand iury investigation, argued that the amendment should not apply to acts committed prior to January I, 1935). Justice Cunningham makes nhort work of that argument in his opinion. \It is almost an insult to the intelligence of the mem hers of the constitutional con- vention,\ he wrote, \to say tha'. they intended that this provision should not affect public officials who had committed a crime in the performance of their ''duties prior to January 1. 1939. The purpose of the amendment Is clearly to weed out unscrupulous and unfit public officials, regardless of when their unscrupulous acts were committed. An official who is unwilling to answer questions and to assist In investigations in the public interest indirect' ly admits he is trying to cover up something. Instead of being an instrument to help enforcement of the law, he Deeomes an ohst ructor of justice. Obviously he doen not belong in the public ser- vice and should either resign or be removed from of- fice. His constitutional protection against self-incrim- ination inunv subsequent proceeding is held not to he affected by his mere removal. r &— One of the most eventful decades in modern his- tory has ended. And this nation enters a new decade guring which, unless all signs are wrong, its people gSlstface and grapple with problems, issues and res- Inslbilities of the most far-reaching character. , The 1980's will be known to the historians of the itUrVits the years of one of the greatest and longest Jpressions this or any other nation ever experienced. Wiey will be known as years of experiment, of trial jlnd error, of the weighing of our old values and our fid traditions, And they will be known too as years in tynich the democratic process was consistently attack- ed by Home of those who called themselves its friends, afl Well as by those who were its frankly avowed en- gmles. . From the international point of view, the tragic '00's came to a cynically fitting vru\ in that most lihastly and unnecessary of events—a war which em- braces much of the world. In nation after nation the arts of peace have of necessity been put Mgide, to the end that war may he prosecuted to the Utmost, And war destroys more than men and mater- JjllB and machines and economics and states. It des- troys those essential liberties for which men have fought and died in holy causes ever since tha world we know began. It destroys those spiritual values which ftre at the root of all artistic, cultural and humanitar- ian achievement. It has been truly said that in modern War there can be no victors—there are only the van- js«i..ii i Ciuished. It is an ironic commentary on the times iri'M M.II which we live that those nations which are fighting this war In the name of threatened democracy, have been forced to use the methods of the dictators in ord- er to meet the enemv on its oun totalitarian terms. 9838 NEWS EVENTS OF OTHER DAYS Looking Backward Through the Years One Year Ago? 1939 Or Ross A melt reelected vice- premclent of Lewiston Trail Coun- cil; E Cairol Poler, dibtnet com- missioner, an d Ovid Punch, Dr William Trolley nn d Willinm Franchull, Council members Or Kulton K.

The immense expenditures for relief continue, en though business has much improved and unem- ployment has consequently been reduced.

Somewhere in This Country 5% Want War, Surveys Show T HERE is almost no liklihood chat the United States will go to war. This is the healthy, satisfying assurances of Dr. George Gallup, head of the American Institute oi Public Opinion, as stated in his quarterly report for Cosmopolitan Magazine in the February issue. In the last four months the Institute has conducted nearly fifty surveys treating every aspect oi American attitudes on the European war. Only an invasion of our soil can get us into war, the surveys showed. Otherwise, it's peace for Arperica or so say 96 out of every 100 polled. Unlike the last war, when certain incidents at son helped pitch UR into the conflict, the seisure of the City of Flint and tho sinking of the Athcnia for staying out is 20 to 1—about the same as for those at the other end of the income scale. Also, there i s no great (j||f> r( , nc e 0 f opinion b y racial gioups on the war question.

If anything, these Incidents served to make us evon more wary opainst getting involved. But almost as great as our desire to stay out is the desire to help tho j Allies. \The big question of !!>4u,\ says Dr. Gallup, \is whether lhe>\ twin aims will clash , that is, whether the desire to soo the Allies win will become mom importunt to us than the desire to stay out nf na i A t present, avoidance of wr.t M uppei piost.\ Kurther, the surveys help ex-plod... the myth thai Auieiienn h.i iiuss I • ' i want lo sei the I'nite.l Stale.-- i The only other possibility o f IfPttmjj America involved is a n invasion of ( anaila or the Panama (aniil or Smith America.
