II take the policeman from the

Of the grafter's pocket.
That is the opinion of Sir Robert
Peacock, chief constable of Man
chester. who says that American
police lack the respect and confidence
of the public and that they will not
merit that confidence until they
eliminate ''takin''' and winkin'.'
I had been commissioned to ask
four of the leading police officials of
the world why the United States led
the world in crime and how their
methods of crime detection differed
from ours. Sir Robert Peacock is
one of them. AS chief constable of
Manchester, Engiand's greatest in
dustrial center, he has written two
weighty volumes on crime prevention
which are used as police bibles
throughout Britain.

as a reward for hard work rather
than through family fortune or royal
favor. He spoke with the broad Ian.

bit off his words in a blunt but
courteous manner.
When I asked for his opinion on
Americas startling crime record he
was, at first. reticent.
Il know little about your country
and its police methods" he explained,
''and it's not for the likes o. me to
be talkin' about it,
When I pressed him for the exac,
figures on crime committed in Eng
land and America, he dug out of the
records these amazing figures:

Why Does L. S. Lead in Crime?

fault Of the American police in pre-
venting crime?" l asked.
"Offhand and as an outsider"
drawled Sir Robert, II should say that
your biggest fault was in tryin' to
detect crime after 1t was committed
instead O. tryin' to prevent 1t in the
first place.
II understand that your police get
bit of a reward or fee when they
arrest a man, who is later punished.
In England that's the very last thing
we should do. Our boobies are proud
Of crime they present, not what they
detect. Each one O. them has his own
beat, and it's his bounden duty to
keep it clean of crime, not detect it
after the jobs done.
British Have No Guns.
'And your second big fault" con-
tinued Sir Robert. lis the scandalous
way in which you let any man that
wants one, buy gun and carry it.
Not even our police in England
carry revolvers. We issue them only
when raiding some house where there
are known to be desperate characters
in hiding. Most of our murders are
the result of planned lust, where the
victim is deliberately killed with a
knife. We have very few crimes of
hloItHCe DeCduS6 lHeTS are no re-
volvers among our people. The law
against carrying or selling re-
volvers is most rigidly enforced. If
you recall those figures, you'll remem-
Der that most American crimes, on
the other hand, are crimes of violence
IF / may venture another bit o.
criticism, your police are entirely too
free with the use o. their guns.
read the other day where a New York
policeman ordered a taxicab driver to
stop. When he didn't stop. he fired
and shot the passenger instead OF the
driver. The passenger was killed.
Now, why should he kill an innocent
and fare-paying passenger simply be-
cause the driver was speeding? Such
thing would not be tolerated in Eng
land"
