WAR ON CRIME
INTENSIFIED CAMPAIGN INTERNATIONAL POLICE RECIPROCITY QUESTION FOR CONFERENCE (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, April 20. The Daily Mail reports: “Checking crime is no longer a civic or national matter, but a question of international moment,” declares Mr Richard Enright, president of lhe International Police Conference and Police Commissioner of New York for seven years, who is going back to America after investigations in Europe preparatory to the Paris conference in November, when 50 nations will be represented. He adds: “War will be declared on criminals throughout the world, and police work in every country will be reviewed.”
The agenda includes traffic problems particularly in connection with motor bandits, the illicit drug traffic and international police reciprocity. Mr Enright says: “Crime is increasing. Owing to the aid of modern scientific devices criminality is almost as destructive as the Great War, which left a legacy of guns distributed illicitly throughout the world.” —United Service.
