POLITICS AND THE POLICE
THE COMMISSIONER’S COMMENT. “If I may be permitted to go a little outside by strict province as Commissioner of Police,” says Sir P. Game, of the London Metropolitan Police, in his annual report, “ may J suggest that the smaller political organisations which indulge so freely in public meetings are given an importance in the public’s estimation to which they are hardly entitled by the advertisement they get from the active opposition of rival factions and from highly-coloured and exaggerated reports in the press. As a result the fololwers of each particular creed become the primary recruiting agents for their political opponents. “ There seems to be some indecency of late to recognise this, and one can only hope it will grow and give the policeman a chance of receiving’his weekly day off duty.”
