As one who has suffered `and | therefore given much thought to this subject, I would like to ad- vance some of my ideas for your consideration and, if you consider worthy, publication.

As I see it, there is only one way in which

This might| be quite impossible under present laws, public opinion etc., but, if not possible, it could be made compulsory for any person of whatever race, class, creed, or sex, who is known to have pass- ed on venereal infection to either prove to satisfaction of Govern- ment by Medical Certificate or otherwise that they are already receiving satisfactory treatment|

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.
