they will undoubtedly do their best to make it

successful: but they will have nothing to do with

registration and the risks of trying to act against their

advice are that they may cease their active co-operation

and leave the Government to employ just the ordinary

official methods.

Social workers in the Colony perhaps make too

little allowance for the necessity for sympathy and

co-operation. Non-Xtians are apt to be throw together as "heathens" and no custom with the slightest

"heathen" taint can be tolerated, The Chinese

recognise the attitude of mind, and allow for it: they are broadminded enough to give Xtian effort full opportunity and even to subscribe funds for it. But they have their own civilization and customs and ask for

the same treatment in respect of matters where their

conscience is free: and the muitsai question is one of

these, for the mere statement that the sale of a human

being is immoral does not in the circumstances

carry any conviction to them. To cruelty tney object whether the human being had been bought or not: but

standards of cruelty vary, and it may even be doubted

whether there is more real ill treatment of children in

Hong Kong than there is in the East end of London.
