ls natural that certain disorderiy
elements in Japan should move to
China. and. taking advantage OF
the present conditions in that coun-
try, should there undertake unlaw-
ful activities. When these lawless
persons are caught In the act OF
crime by the Chinese police 10 H.
not difficult for, that police force
TO deal with the case. The cui
prits are handed over as early as
possible to the Japanese authorities
for prosecution and trial. But when
the criminals fee from the scene
OF their acts IL is In many cases
hard TO discover who cinmitted the
crimes and what were the causes
and circumstances that led up TO
their commission. This Is more diff
ficult for the Chinese authorities. as
they have no power TO make domi-
ciliary visits to the homes Of for
eigners. who enjoy extraterritoriai
rights. or to obtain judicial testi-
mony in due form from such for
eigners.
Without the full cooperation OF
the japanese police. therefore. the
punishment Of crime is. in a great
many cases. an lmposslbility. and
those who are responsible for law
breaking escape trial and punish
ment
OF Advantage to China
This tendency is especially evi-
dent in Manchuria. in which region
hundreds OF thousands of Japanese
are resident. In places where the
Japanese police are stationed there
are fewer criminal cases among
japanese than in places without
japanese police. Lawless elements
constantly move to districts be-
yond the reach Of Japanese police
supervision.
Apart from the theoretical side
OF the question, IL will thus be OBJ
served that the stationing OF Japa-
nese police in the Interior OF China
has proved to be of much practical
usefulness in the prevention OF
crimes among japanese residents.
without interfering with the daily
life of Chinese or Of other ma
tionals. The Japanese policing pro-
vides a projections for the Chinese
communities which at present their
own organization fails TO provide.
The Japanese delegation is IN
possession OF knowledge and infor-
nation as to the actual conditions
prevailing in China and especially
in Manchuria. However. IL is un-
necessary to go into details at the
present stage.
