matter would be dealt with from start to finish confidentially, there would be no real ground for complaint. I suggest that a per- son contracting Venereal Disease | and knowing from whom the disease was contracted, should report (confidentially) to the Special Prostitution Branch Foliće, giving such information. as to whereabouts of the unfortunate party as he is able, Police already have a Prostitution Branch but apart from occasional raids and prosecutions of Sly Brothel owners and others in the racket there is little result to their activities. The Police and Venereal Branch of the Medical Department could
then call upon the person to sup- ply information as required when Medical Department could say whether treatment was necessary or not. In the event of malicious information being made, the mat- ter would finish in hands of the Medical Dept., and in any case few would care to proceed with a malicious report if they were required to give personal parti- culars when making the report. There are probably
many other "snags" but I have an idea that this or some similar system has been tried out in some of the States in U.S.A., with some suc- cess.
Finally, as a bachelor who has lived in the colony for 14 years, I think the implication in car- toons etc., that our grass-widowers are already walking around "love, hungry" is positively obscene fand, if any of my married friends were so lacking of self-control
and consideration for their wives! and familles as to risk infection, (apart from knives, forks, towels and other boloney), then I would have little sympathy for them.
