our duty is not accessarily confined to the printed regulations or treaty stipulations. but we say most emphatically that it in a scandalous thing that residents of Hongkong. should be exposed to the machinations of a criminal society and that the Colony should suffer the inevitable disgrace of harbouring such persons. The law here is administered with no very light hand. A cricalaal even if he falls in a moment of weakness, is punished rigorously. That may be as it should be; but why do we not have the pleasure of reporting the punishments inflicted on these harpies who traffic in human bodies and carry on in the best policed port in the Fat Fast & order? We repeat that it may not be our systematic criminal crusade against law and duty to assist America actively in this mat. ter, but it is emphatically our duty to preserva the good names of Great Britain from dis honour. We do not wish to use language too strong for the needs of the case; but the fact remains that from a British Colony, that prides itself on its administration fifteen human beings were spirited away and for four long weeks subjected to the most horrible ladignities, if not tortures. Our complacency may well receive a rude shock; it is not pleasant suddenly to realise that there in disease in our midst; to realise that here rubbing shoulders with us are men who make a living by selling into slavery, in some cases, a slayery that is worse than death, men and girls, young girls, who may rightly claim our protection.
