The Inspector General of Police, in his anuani report, states that serious crime showed a welcome re- duction in 1931, with, the exception of kidnapping of children which in- creased to a somewhat alarming extent during the early part of the year. Thanks to the special men sares adopted for its suppression, the second half of the year showed a murked improvement which ap- to be maintained. Petty peurs crime showed an incrense in Jarcenfes, but otherwise does nat call for any speelal comment.
Generally speaking, the year would have been considered a good one, had it not been for the serious Anti-Japanese outbreak at the end of September which was necom- panied by rioting, a certain amount of looting of shops storing Japaneac goods and the dastardly murder of
Japanese family at Trang Foo
