There were immediate communications between Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and France. The result was that seven of the gang were arrested in Milan and three others in Brussels.
"Another case which occurred recently was that in which Belgium asked Berlin to wireless the description of a wanted crook.' The. request was made at three o'clock in the afternoon, aba by eleven o'clock the Belgians Bid received a message that the man was under lock and key. He was arrested in Hungary.
"Whatever may be the case with international gangs of crooks," he emphasised, "the International Criminal Police Commission is a reality end one with very powerful resources."
Speaking of the English attitude to the police, Mr. Lloyd said, "It is cne of the characteristics of our people that they back up their friends very loyally and find fault with them very freely. Though I often have to say that criticisms of the police, in Parliamen: and elsewhere, are unfounded. I recognise how advantageous it is that these criticisms should be made."
