police force. OF course, it's the big
metropolitan cities where crime is ram
pant. There is no question that an
ampler police protection would effect n
great reduction in the number Of
crimes
The lack of adequate police protec-
ton IN many places, ne said, was due
to the reduction of budgets Tor this
purpose by crank reformers
Aside from prohibition and unrer-
policing. Mr.. Joyce attributed the in
crease of crime to the following causes:
Il. Widespread lessening of respect
for law and property following every
war. War makes many people more
cynical and callous, more Indifferent TO
human suffering and the rights of
others. A changed attitude and spirit
are greatly needed.
Z. Much greater opportunity exists
than before the war. Billions of newly
Issued negotiable securities have been
broadly acclaimed and handled by un-
tried employees These securities have
largely known about by the criminal
classes who are always alert, looking
for weak points. Rember that 'oppor-
tunity makes the thief
Reports of Huge Profits
8. Published reports of great profits
have created much discomfort, and even
IN some cases revengeful spirit. All
understanding by all classes of how
heavily the Federal Administration is
taxing excess war profits will go far
to alley this crime breeding dissatis-
faction.
4. Criminals inevitably drafted in
to the war have returned more reckless
regarding their own and other peoples
lives and are more skilled in attack
ing guarded and unguarded places.
5. High war wages have naturally
led to extravagant living standards.
Now, when wages and employment are
decreasing, the newly acquired ex-
pensive tastes remain. Living from
hand to mouth IS. of course. a first
step toward crime, as necessity knows
no law
6. Thousands of men and women
who were attracted to large business
eenters by high wages during the war
and who like the city life, have re-
fused to return to their original homes
in small towns and on farms. Manv
of them are unemployed or are work
ing discontentedly for wages insult
ticient TO satisfy their desires. Such a
situation is, of course. obviously crime
fomenting.
". Published reports of enormous
f1otations of investment securities dur
ing and after the war have made MANY
people think that they are not getting
their share OF the nations wealth and
they nurse the thought as real griev-
ance.
IS. The doctrines of Socialism, Boil
shevism, etc, have furnished false
but potent excuse for many recent
crimes. Education, although it is the
only sure road to national peace and
prosperity, seems just now TO be pro-
ducing surprising number of human
beings who feel easier about doing
something they know to be wrong if
they can find some theory which seems
to make it right to do wrong.

Dry Law Held
Big Factor in
Wave of Crime
Theft Losses Are Doubled,
Says Head Of National
Surety Co.. Who Gives
Figures of 80 Concerns
Underpolicing Is Charged
Relieves Thieves Loot i'm
Year Was 100 Millions:
Urges Life for Burglary

Prohibition was declared yesterday
sv William 3. Joyce, president of the
National Surety Company, to be one of
the main causes of tremendous in
crease in crime which has been sweep
inc the country. Underpolicing, he
said. was one of twelve others.
Statistics of the claims paid by the
thirty leading surety and burglary in
sursnee companies of the nation, made
nublic by Mr.. Joyce, show that burglary
within the last year has increased at
least 100 per cent ever the year before.
In 1920 these companies paid out losses
on embezzlements and burglaries of ap-
proximately S16,oao,ooo More than
s1o0oO,oo0 OF this constituted claims
for burglary, as against S5,0oo,o 600 for
the previous year. This year, he as
serted, it is worse than ever.
These figures. however, he pointed
out. do not begin to tell the tale Only
about 10 per cent Of the victims of this
type of crime are insured, SO that the
actgal losses from burglary alone prob
ably amount to $I0o,0o0,o00, or about
81 for every Hlan, woman and child in
the United States
Mr. Joyce cited what ne believed to
be the thirteen principal causes of the
present crime wave.
Steal Solely to Get Liquor
Prohibition has undoubtedly been
one of the greatest influences behind
the situation" he commented. There
is no question, and our claims show
It. that an overwhelming number of
rcbberss have been committed with
TIE sole purpose of obtaining liquor.
We have settled several hundred
thousand claims on stolen liquors
alone. Some people would rather steal
liquor than anything else. There are
Indications that these thefts are in the
great proportion Of cases committed by
men who wouldn't think of breaking
into a house for jewelry or any other
thing of value. These men regard
liquor as much their legitimate prop
erty as their best friends umbrella. +"
Mr. Joyce then recounted the type
Of persons who were found to be the
worst offenders in this line. He point

worker who had long been accustomed
to the use of liquor and who had been
driven to embezzlemeut and other
crimes to obtain the money to meet
the high prices the stuff now COM
mands- Then there was the fellow, he
said. who stole it for his own use, and
next him The man who flched the
hooch fer its high value. There was
still another, he added, the fellow
whose mind had been broken down by
the terrible quality Of the liquor he
had been drinking and who couldn't
resist the temptation to resort to
thievery to obtain what he couldn't
buy

stated that there are now seven bur
giaries to every fire, whereas before
the war it was only three burglaries to
