It also approximates to the sum loaned by this country to all foreign Powers during the war.

This increase of the loss of life is obviously due to the new type of bandit and criminal in the cities. The held-up man of the West, rough as he was, at least pos- sessed a certain amount of res- pect for human life. Victims were lined up, but revolvers were not used actively unless serious re- sistance was made. The modern bandit, on the other hand, does not display the slightest concern for anyone at all. If concerned he does not hesitate to shoot down'de- fenceless women and children, or anyone who muy be standing by. The revolver and the automobile have made crime easier for the town robber.

The crime wave has not been traced to any one particular cause. The war has been blamed, but as Europe has not suffered from such a crime-wave, this argument falls rather fat Social and moral ir. responsibility appear to have play. ed a great part in the making of criminals, while the display of wealth has turned many young people inta bandits eager for "easy money." On the other hand, many law experts blame the laxness of the law for the situation."

The reasons mentioned may be summarised under three broad heads (1) Labour suspicions, (2) the very high standard demanded, and (3) the fact migration is ad- iministered by the Commonwealth and the six States comprising Aus- tralia, instead of by one cohesive authority.
