OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1922 CRIME IN By br, J, ( In the Year Ending September 30, 1922 i» Shearer + Statistics of crime are always of widespread public interest, They are of special interest at the present time in Canada by reason of their hearing on the question of the ef- fects of prohibition and of Gdvern- ment sale of liquor, Extremists 'on both sides are liable to quote what suits them, and reject the others. A representative of Social Welfare has had access to the statistical abstract now on file at the Judical Branch of the Bureau of Statistics, The full Blue Book will not he off the press for some time. Canada's returns for 1921 show an increase in both indictable and non- indictable offences. There is an in- crease of 953, or 5.2 per cent. in in- dictable offences over 1920. In non- indictable offences the increase Is 13,439, or 9.3 per cent, The increase is due in considerable measure to new laws creating new offences, It is well, therefore, to look at the fig- ures in more detail, The whole group of indictable of- fences against the person, i.e. se- rious crimes such as murder, man- slaughter, rape, assault, bigamy, procuring for immoral purposes, etc., show a decided decrease in occur- rence, though an increase in convic- tions was also secured--a healthy condition. Of certain crimes in this whole group, charges for non-sup- port of family show a decrease of practically 20 per cent., while mur. der, rape and manslaughter, particu- Jarly murder and rape, show consid- erable increase. Burglarly, banditry, robbery and like crimes also show a considerable increase in volume. This no doubt is due in a considerabie measure to the extensive and heavy unemployment and business depres- sion, A similar increase is shown in crimes without violence against property, such as theft, embezzle- ment, false pretences, doubtless due to the causes above cited, but ma- licious offences against property are marked by a slight-decrease. There is a slight increase in forgery and offences against the currency. Illicit stills show a decrease though com-| paratively small, both in offences | charged and in convictions, so that CANADA | the drug laws after decisive strength | 1 ening of the laws themselves, gu | more vigorous enforcement thereof, totalled 1,443, an increase of only 13] or less than 1 per cent, These of- fences represent roughly 16 per 100,- 000 of pepulation, British Columbia always heads the list in this column, which is in comsiderable measure doubtless due to her large propor- tionate Oriental population. The figures supplied by the Federal De- partment of Health for the year end- ing September 30th, 1921, by pro- vinces, are as follows: Nova Scotia, 2; New Brunswick, 20; Quebec, 3 Ontario, Manitoba, 36; Saskatchewan, 170; Alberta, 162; British Columbia, 801. Oriental population can hardly ex- plain Quebec's record as contrasted with Ontario' with over half a mil lion more of population, In any case, the opponents of prohibtion in the face of the official figures cannot de- fend the statement that the prohi- bition of liquor results in increase of the use of drugs, Offences against the law regarding the keeping and patronizing of houses of ill fame total 4,138, op 47 per 100,000, which shows a decrease from the year 1911 with a rate of 108 per 100,000, when very high fig- res in this group were reached. One gratifying fact of the returns is a decremse of 1.6 per cent. in the volume. of offenders years of age, which suggests that the allegation of a "wave of juvenile de- linquency" has heen exaggerated. We may have a further report to make when the full returns are re- ceived and-studied, sod 527 CABLE BETWEEN CONTINENTS. When completed, the duplication of the Pacific cable from Canada to Australia and New Zealand, will prove one of the greatest engineer- ing feats ever accomplished, The cable runs from Vancouver and touches Fanning Island, Norfork Is- land, and Fiji. An enormous num- ber of messages pass over it, and al- though the new line will cost some- thing like two million pounds it will soon justify the experience of this enormous sum.

The whole| volume of offences in 1921 arising from drunkenness, violation of liquor | laws, etc., amounts to 5 per 1,000 of | population, the rate for 1911 being| 6.4 per 1,000. The entire volume of crimes for all offences for the year was 182,647, or roughly, 21 per 1,000 of population, and as we have seen. of these 5 per 1,000 were for offences relating to drunkenness and non-ob- servance of liquor laws. This, im- partial readers will admit, is not ab- normal. The corresponding figures for 1911 are 17.5 per 1,000 and 6.4 re- spectively. The increase from 1901 to 1911 was 7 per cent., that for 1911 to 1921, 3% per cent.
