Hon. Colonial Secretary,

I do not think that possibly even His Excellency realises the indignation felt by the Chinese at the monstrous charges which have been made against them by

ignorant persons at home.

The District Watchmen Committee generally sits dumb and I usually have to elicit opinions with a sort of verbal bootjack. We had our last meeting on Wednesday last, and there was a very brisk discussion on the article which

The Chinese now propose had appeared in the Daily Press. to hold a mass meeting in the City Hall to register a formal protest against the statements which have been made concerning them, that they are dealers in prostitutes and owners of slaves, They propose to turn themselves into a hugh committee to take charge of the Mui Teai question.

but that like They hold that the system is a good one, everything else in the world abuses may be found. They propose to try and detect all cases of cruelty which is of course not a result of the system but is due to the fact that some people have unkind and cruel natures, also they will try to deal with the sale of girls as prostitutes, which has nothing to do with the mui tsai system, The Chinese are keenly alive to all that is being said about them at home, and if this large Committee of Chinese is appointed, most or at any rate many of whom will be busy bodies, it will undoubtedly do much more good than any committee which we might appoint.

15th July, 1921.

(Sd.) 8. B. C. Ross,

Secretary for Chinese Affairs.
