If it is proposed to impose restriction on
families with adopted daughters, we venture to think
that this should not be done, for it would mean that
law-abiding families with adopted daughters would find
themselves exposed to suspicion of the law, and the proposal would be in conflict with the traditions and
feelings of Chine se people.
We have recently heard that Singapore is
taking steps to prohibit muitsai.
The text of the
bill and the speech of the Singapore Secretary for
Chinese Affairs have been carefully examined by us,
but our views remain as set forth above, and are not
in the slightest degree altered. We feel that we
should make this clear, and we respectfully submit to
you this written statement of our views.
March, 1932.
