Colonial Secretary's
Hongkong, 30th. March, 1908.
21 JAN 09
I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter No.
2252 of 20th. instant in which you ask me to confirm His
Excellency's and ry own verbal comments at interviews with
yourself when you indicated the dissatisfaction felt by
Americans on account of the presence in Hongkong of a num-
ber of American prostitutes.
You informed His Excellency that Judge Wilfley
had taken measures in Shanghai which had compelled a large
number of the American prostitutes formerly in that city to
might leave, and you expressed the hope that similar steps be
taken here. In reply His Excellency said that from in-
formation he had received he doubted whether the steps tak-
en in Shanghai had resulted in any permanent amelioration of the conditions complained of.
He understood that many
undesirable women had "lain low" for a time, and others had temporarily left in consequence of the action taken by Judge Tilfley, and he had heard that some had paid low class Europeans to marry them and then returned to carry on their trade under a new nationality - a state of things which
was more deplorable than that which it was sought to remedy. In face of these reports to which you expressed no dissent, His Excellency felt that the action taken in Shanghai could afford no clear precedent for Hongkong.
He added that he
presumed you did not desire to urge him to discriminate between American women and any other nationaltiy or to deal with the former in any exceptional way, and you concurred that such a course was out of the question.
His Excellency expressed entire sympathy with the ob- Ject you had in view and concurred in the evil done by Consul-General for the United States
of America,
