Scare Tactics Deplored.

avhat the statistics reveal.

By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received April 5, 9.25 p.m.( WASHINGTON, April 5.

Challenging the contention that there is any real grounds for the youthful crime wave scare in the Unitod States, the Federal Children’s Bureau has issued a statement that the available figures indicate a re-, ductiou rather than an increase in juvenile delinquency rates in the past decade. The Bureau declared that there was no significant increase in the number of children committed to gaol for grave offences, homicide, robbery nnd burglary, between 1911) and 1923, and recommended a sane and thoughtful consideration of this problem rather than newspaper headlines.

Fourteen cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Richmond, St. Louis, Seattle and Washington, provided statistics allowing decreased delinquency in nine. Increased rates were found only in four, namely Detroit, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Seattle. Immediate post-war years showed slight increases.
