ROME. (UP) Murder, black
mnfl and all major crimes are on
the. declino In Italy, according to
a recent crime report.
The number of first class crimes
In 1930 was approximately 60 per
cent lew than pre-war figures, und
considerably under early post-war
records. This fact causes the pow
erful conservative newspaper,
"Corrlere della Sera," to say, "The
Italian people are In a period of
moral restoration."
To reach this conclusion, the
Central Statistical Office explains
that viewed only from the bare
number of crimes It would appear
that 1930 was a bloodier year than
any previous period. But taking
Into consyieration population In
creases, the average number of
major crimes per 100,o4o persons
shows a marked decline.
. liower Murder Ratio
Last year's figures show there
were 2.65 m urders for every
100.000 persons living in Italy,
while before the war the ratio
stood at 4.27 from 1911 to the be
ginning of the war. There were
1 OUT1 voluntary murders In Italy
last) year, which Is less than half
the .figure for Llin jwmrs 1920-21-22,
the bluckest of the present cen
tury. ''
According to ' official figures
there were 1,1 56,208 major crimes
against public order In 1930, com
pared, to an average of 970,620
annually before tho war. But, as
the report indicates, this does not
take into consideration Italy's In
creasing population and territory
added since the war.
Before the war, criminal assault,
blackmail and extortion figured as
the most frequent of the major
crimes. The percentage per 100,
000 persons was roughly 12.68,
which lost year was reduced to
6.98.. Offenses against public or
der, despite the rigorous regula
tions! ' tne IinBClt government,
havejbeen reduced to less than one
crime for each 100,000 Inhabitants
while before the war the average
was well over three.

From a geographical angle, the
report discloses some . Interesting
conclusions. -While southern Ital
ians' are often accused of being
warmer bloodod than their north
ern brothers, the study reveals
that while the number of crimes Is
