CRIME IN NEW YORK.
PRAISE FOR THE POLICE. “WONDERFUL ORGANISATION.” LONDON, June 3. The Inspector-General of police for New South Wales, Air. James Mitchell, states that New York police have a wonderfully efficient organisation in every department, especially in connection with finger-prints, narcotics, bootlegging and juvenile welfare. In Judging America’s crime record, Air. Mitchell said, it was necessary to remember her mixed races, of which some were drawn from the lowest strata of the least progressive European countries. These were in process of assimilation into American life, and in the meantime required a big stick to keen them in order.
The best elements in American life preferred the law-abiding Anglo-Saxon stock, said Mr. Mitchell-, and the authorities therefore were restricting immigrants to selected quotas.
