(N Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Feb. 16. The day when there could be interplanetary criminals might not be too far distant, the Mayor of Wellington (Mr F. J. Kitts) suggested today.
Mr Kitts was speaking at a mayoral reception for police commissioners and their departmental secretaries from Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand, at present attending a conference in Wellington. Mr Kitts said the work
of the police and its problems were always changing. “I can’t help thinking that even in the lifetime of the police cadets attending the training school today that they may actually he concerned with interplanetary crime,” he said. “Wherever we find new frontiers, wherever we open up new countries, there is at the start a lack of organised society—and in any society which lacks organisation there is scope for the criminal,” he said.
