The figures are certainly appalling. 13.00 Lu 1921, 9,500 persons were killed by crimes of violence in the United States, and no-less than 23,000 were killed in ter 1,356.90

noteworthy that of the large number of murders tried in the States criminal 1,000.00 courts, most of the homicides are of for- eiga extraction. But another cause, and 50.00 one stressed by the American Bar As sociation, is the slowness and uncertain. 1.012.80 of the machine of vengeance.

New York is the greatest alien city a the States but, strangely enough, it is not the most lawless. In Memphis, Tean, a little city of 170,000 populatim, there were twice as many killings as in all England and Wales in 1999. There were forty times as many murders in Jacksonville, Florida in 1923 as in the whole of Canada.
