Now they have been welded into a well organised fighting force. Under the control of their mystery leader they carry out night raids on railway stations, artillery batteries, main supply routes and lonely supply dumps.

COMMENT OF THE DAY

More Bad News For Thugs

THE public will not fail to appreciate

the significance of the decisión made by the Full Court yesterday re- garding the use of unloaded guns by robbers to intimidate their victims. The decision that the wielding' of an unloaded revolver for the purpose of effecting a robbery constitutes an as- sault was based on law, but we also regard it as a verdict of commonsense. If a criminal can induce fear by dis- playing what he knows to be an inno cuoua weapon, but which.his victim has overy reason to bellove is a lethal in- strument, then he has accomplished his aim and, quite rightly so far as we can seo, places himself into the same cate- gory as the man who carries out his hold-up with a loaded revolver. Had Judgment to the contrary been made the public would have viewed it with considerable misgiving and would cor rectly have felt that criminals were be- ing given protection under the law to which they were not entitled. The -Judgment too, would appear to bring within ite scope the use of toy or model platals Intended to intimidate, and "gives point to our earlier comment this

week on the subject.

What remains to be seen is whether our criminals who have imagined they are outside the arm of the law by using unloaded or imitation weapons will be sufficient- ly impressed, by the latest decision to think a second time before indulging in their. nefarious undertakings., One of the main purposes of the law and its consequences is to act as an effec- tive deterrent. To show others, by example, that crime does not pay. But some doubt as to the Law's efficacy in this direction is raised by the persis- tent demonstrations of armed violence on the part of the Colony's thugs. The question arises whether some -more punitive action should not be taken to deal with these criminals. One sug- gestion is the creation of anti-bandit aquads, comprised of tough, loyal and daring men who have a good know- ledge of the local underworld and who, as a result, know where to look for. the gangsters now plaguing Hongkong. The suggestion is advanced in the con- viction that the stronger the measures adopted against our gangsters the quicker they will be brought under control and 'oliminated.
