Today i called on the chief of the crinilnrzl police, an “Oberreg- could tell ins anything startling about the crime wave here and the measures ti-ken to counteract it. He said iii re was nothing start- lin to tell.

" he crinie wave is, of course, colossal," he continued. “To speak of a huge increase in crime is not mere sensatlonalism. But there are no new varieties of crime, only the, old crimes committed in great- er number and with added ‘violence You have the same thing in France and England, t gh less acutely, no doubt. Tlii gs are worse here in Germany becausf shortage, pov- erty, iind deineralsation are far more widespread than in the vic- torious countries. You can't ex- pect anythln! else after a war. People have grown usea to viol- ence and think little of it. There's hardly a burglar in Berlin who does not carry a revolver. Robbery with a s s a u l t and with murder have never been so common as they are now. If the police set on the tracks of a man they know they may have to ex- change shots with him before they can arrest him."

Dumoraiiaatlen of Army Life. .

"Army life has had a bad influ- ence?" '

"Of course it has. Our young men have been terribly denioraiisod by four year's of war followed by revolution and social misery. Tdic country is full of desperadoes. Many of‘ those who come‘ before m)’ notice must have been refined. and decent fellows before the war, but are now nervous wrecks, with all their moral stamina gone, care- less of life and thinking nothing of murdering another man for the sake of a few marks.

“There are other things as well. So many soldiers have learnt the ‘scrounglng’ habit in the army-p habit that isn't easily dropped; at least not when a man ls hungry. The military practised requisition- lns in great style during the war, and. after all, ‘requisitioning’ and ‘stealing’ are only different words for the same kind of thing. And ﬂll armies do it; all armies are alike. And then there are the de- serters, deserters from the army. They all live in hiding and many by theft. They are a particularly dﬂlberete lot, and very diﬂlcult to deal with."

The German press has been giv- illz much attention to the "Ostjuden Problem." The socalled Ostiuden are Jews and Gentiles who con- tinue to invade Germany from Poland and Galicis in great num- bers. lt is said (probably with ex- Bsgeration) that there are thirty or forty thousand in Berlin alone. They are charged with making the serious housing problem still more serious and oi committing a big proportion of Berlin crimes. l ask- ed the Oberreglerungsrat if this was so. He said: ' <

lJndesirabie immigrants.

"Yes, there is a huge influx of shady characters from the east, and they have helped to swell the criminal population of Berlin. You would be surprised by the number of Poles and Galicians amongst the thieves we catch." “Why doesn't the Government control or restrict immigration?" The Oberreglerungsrat angrily stabbed his ihiottlng-pad with his pencil and said: "We've got a thoroughly inactive, humanitarian Socialist Govern- ment that thinks all people are alike. lBut something will have to v be done. 11's diﬂlcuit to guard our long eastern frontiers, and it's quite impossible to repatriate alien‘ un- desirables.

Even there the dimculties will be great. for the ‘Polish and the / Ukrainian or whatever Government is to have Galicia may raise objec- tions or even take reprisals- We're ‘at the mercy of our neighbors now.. and haven't the position we lied before the war."
