even New YOrlx being blocked

Insincerity First Cause!
BY THOMAS +. MCMAHON

| believe that the start of the crime
wave in this country followed the re-
turn of our troops from the other
side. Everything was promised to
these boys before they went away, and
when they returned after the first two
or three days of entertainment they
were cast aside. A very small pro-
portion of them resented this treat
ment by our Government and resOrted
to drastic means to secure a living.
So-called prohibition being in force
and prohibition among those who were
pledged to enforce the law left an
opening for the dregs of society in
every locality to take advantage of
the poor treatment accorded the SOL
diers so that their crimes might re-
fleet upon the great body of our young
men who came back.
The great increase in the automo-
bile traffic, due to the low price of
motor vehicles gives opportunity TO
thousands of u young men to take
advantage of this means as an oppor-
tunity to lure young women astray.
The great broadening out of the
moving picture industry and the lack
of control of the parents over their
children as we'll as the fact that they
have become materialistic in the
schools and colleges, along with the
obnoxious literature now being print
ed in such vast quantities, has, in my
opinion, caused the present day crime
condition.
