THE WAY IN CHICAGO
WHEN BANDITS SAY "HANDS UP" Mr. H. B. Lees-Smith, who was the British Postmaster-General in 1931, arrived at New York lately from Chicago, where he had been studying crime and police methods. " In three or four hours I saw," he said, " things that would turn the Government out in England—raids without search warrants, and most extraordinary procedure." Third degree methods, Mr. Lees-Smith said, were not necessary in England, " because," he explained, " the gangster has not yet-convinced England that he means business. When ho says ' Hands up!' hands will not go np. Some old woman will throw an ink-pot at him."
