WAR ON CRIMINALS
WORLD CONFERENCE OF NATIONS MODERN EVILS TO BE FACED (United Service) LONDON, Saturday. The following appears in the “Daily Mail’: “Checking crime is no longer a civic or a national matter, but a question of international moment,” declares Mr, Richard Enright, president of the International Police Conference and Police Commissioner of New York for seven years. Mr. Enright 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. Police work in every country will be reviewed.” The agenda for the conference 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.”
