What Puzzles Europe?

If you ever wonder why Europeans tend to look upon
Americans as a strange and incomprehensiblc people,
you might give a little attention to the recent cable dis
patches concerning Mr.. Jack Gegs) Diamond.
Legs Diamond is a New York racketeer, rapidly gain
ing a Manhattan reputation as a sort Of small-scale AL
Capone. Not long ago, thirsting for the broadening ef-
fects of travel, he sailed for Europe.
His liner got to England and the British authorities,
forwarned as to his antecedents, refused to let him in.
Thereupon he went to Belgium. The Belgian police
met him at the dock, trotted to the German frontier and
turned him loose-possibly as a belated reprisal for the
indignity Of 1914.
In no time at all the Germans arrested him. Having
been tipped off that he was q director of various GRIM
inal enterprises and a highly dangerous man, they i'm
mediately wired New York and announced that they
were holding him; would New York please send and get
him?
The surprise came when New York replied that it.
didn't want him. In a broad sense, of course, that was
understandable; but New York meant that it had no
criminal charges ready to place against him, had no cell
yawning for him and, on the whole, had no reason to
deprive him of his liberty.
This was the sort of thing that the Europeans found
themselves unable to assimilate.
Here was a notorious 'bad man" on the loose. Eng
land, Belgium and Germany, in rapid succession, gave
hin short shrift. and the Germans thoughtfully and
Vacuuuy dTIeSIeQ MIN SO Jnat MS nome town could deal
with him as he deserved; and then the home town an
nounced that it wasn't interested! It had him down in
its list as a ~racketeer, but it couldn't do anything about
it. AS far as New York was concerned he was free as the
air, and he could come home any time he wanted to-.
1t is hardly surprising If Europe finds this a bit thick.
In Europe they have different ways of dealing with
crooks and highbinders. They do not give them the
freedom of the city until such time as they obligingly
commit murders under the eyes Of the mayor. Politi-
clans do not befriend them. The law and the courts
do not throw out protecting technicalities to shelter
them. The criminal is harried and hounded-and, as a
result, does not thrive.
