The “Times” Busseldorf correspondent that appalling havoc was wrought hy last week's orgy of lootinn and riming. The town presents a tragic appearance. There is jmrdlv a street which does not show signs et the disturbances which haveJieen definitely traced to the Communists, ninny" of whom were arrested alter a search of their dwellings in which considerable stores of arms were "seoveied. The disturbances obviously wen not the work of hungry unemployed, for all sorts of shops, such as stationers and China warehouses were attacked and smashed up. In some onto, suburbs every shop is hoarded ami shuttered. Further disturbances aio feared and the police will have to .a strengthened if the city is to be protected as the existing force ol foul hundred is hopelessly incapable ol safeguarding half a million people.
