PARIS. May SAN alarming
series Of crimes, includsng murder
and kidnapping, has forcei the high
secret police OF France 10 conduct
an intensive check OF foreign poll
teal refugees IN an effort TO weed
cut the violent elements.
The generous French spirit Of
hospitality has been offended. po-
lice say, by the quarrels Of foreign
political agitators who have used
this haven Of security "a O field
for developing their plots. Not
only are the police and courts call
ed upon to deal with the troubles
OF the refugees among themselves,
but their revolutionary activities
are likely, and sometimes do.
cause strained relations with 9TH
er governments.
The check OF foreigners Is being
conducted by Jean Chiappe. force
full project of police Of Paris, who
Is acting under orders Of Andre
Tardieu, Minister Of the Interior es
well as Premier. Marseilles and the
Riviera are being given particular
scrutiny.
Against Agitators
France long has been an asylum
for the politically prosecuted. and
her policy will not be altered with
respect to those refugees who con-
fine their activities within the
limits Of French laws. but rigorous
measures are to be taken against
agitators who abuse this hospital
ity.
Although italians probably have
been the first offenders, with con-
flicts between Fascist and anti
Fascist sympathizers, the mysteri-
Gus disappearance in the heart OF
Paris Of General Koutepoff, White
| Russian military leader, has arous-
ed widespread public indignation.
The theory that he was kidnapped
by Soviet secret police IS now gen.
! orally accepted and as q result Of
the outrage a section OF the press
Is demanding the breaking OF dip
lcmatic relations with Soviet Rus
sta
It Is estimated that there are
nearly 100000 political refugees
| now IN France. BY far the largest
colony Of political exiles Is the
Russian, with something over TO-
COO in Paris alone. Many Of them
are former soldiers IN White Rus
sian armies, but all social ranks
OF the old regime are represented.
Maintain Military Groups
Although they are divided IN
several factions Of various politi-
cal leanings. they are az least
united IN their hatred Of the Boil
sheviks. They maintain their mill
tayy groups and spread their prop
uganda with their own newspapers.
| Communists resident in France, OF
whom there are many working In
official capacities. try to combat
this influence with their own prop
uganda. Both sides r known TO
be active with intelligence agents.
