ET delegates and that, nowadays, 36 States jotned itssec the Commission ts still growing and «ee. police ‘ collaboration becomes also ertended. When you considere.. the short time during which pou erperinented thia coilaboration...and...the difficulties which can arise during this rebuilding stage ou will ezcuse me I presume that your...decision is bosed...-probab on the points you mentioned afterward in your...letter.* ~--Louwage. In connection with this point regarding the difficulties . faced in re-organizing the Commission, tt ts noted that actually the erganization ts small. Although the Commission claims memberahip in 36 states, only 27 sent delegates to the recent conference. The 1950 annual report of the Secretary General atates that the ICPC had "intervened"™ tn 950 cases, made 207 international circularizations and indered the names of 92 notorious tnternational criminals. About 20 of the latter indtutauals were arrested "ewing to ICFC interventiona™ and 7 others were identified through the fingerprint club. In the drug category, 52 cases of drug were reported and descriptions of 26 habitual defenders were circularized. These statistics are not impressive particularly in view of the fact that the Commission has 20 ernployees. It would appear that the Commission was merely struggling to justify tts existence. B. Direct Contacts with U. S. Agencies "Th e relations between the USA Police forces and the IcPc, in my own opinion, ought to pass..through your bureau. Several tines I expressed this opinion te Mr. DUCLOUX....I am ready to intervene in order to give ou plain satisfaction. ou desire to be more broadl consultied so far as our cooperation with the U.N. ts concerned, I am alse ready to eranine with pou new rules according to this object.
