This Is Your FBI: The Mother-in-Law Racket

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents, This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

Since the Equitable Life Assurance Society was founded 90 years ago, this country has changed in many ways, but in one respect it is still the same. In those early days people always spoke of America as the land of opportunity.

It still is the land of opportunity just as much as ever. In just a few minutes, in tonight's Middle Commercial, the Equitable Society will have a special message for listeners who agree with this philosophy.

We will describe a special life insurance plan for men and women on the way up, offered by the equitable life-assuring society of the United States. Tonight's FBI file, the Mother-in-law racket. In a country such as ours, a country populated with over 140 million people.

It is not a surprising thing that there are seven and a half million people with fingerprint arrest records. The surprising thing is that there are not more. For crime is on the march. And many of those seven and a half million are hardened, experienced criminals.

Every survey made by the Federal Bureau of Investigations shows that not only is crime increasing in every section of the nation, but also that the American criminal is a first-rate opportunist. Let conditions be what they may. Let wars be fought.

Let floods and pestilence strike an area. Let the gods bring forth what they will. The criminal will find some way to turn the circumstance to his favor. For that reason, your FBI is especially anxious to bring you tonight's program from the files.
