RIOT SMASHING
METHODS IN OTHER LANDS
POLICE WITH REVOLVERS
WELLINGTON, June 1. “Riots such as took place in Auckland would not be tolerated i» the United States, England or Germany, ’ said Ah- J. La\vford, an Auckland
business man, who returned from a trip abroad by tlie Monowni yesterday. | “If such demonstrations ' started m Germany at the present time,” lie said, “the police would simply charge the 1 riottirt and, disperse them with their i revolvers. With 8,000,000 out cl ! work-, in its popnftibn of over 65,000,000, it is remarkable the respect that 1 Germans have for law and order. I 1 should think there is hardly a country in the world, tliat lias such a large police force.” Mr Lawford commented on the way in which the news of the Auckland I riots was displayed in tile London newspapers. In many cases' it was I .featured in large black type ripjht across the page; “Serious "New Zealand Riots,” “Bluejackets Called Out,” were , typical captions,. People in England were at a loss to understand such . happenings.
