Social workers of great experience informed us that

in every case they knew the girls in the brothels of the

Sampan Street and Kennedy Town districts were adepted

children, sold to the keepers of the houses by the adopting]

parent,

girl by the system of recognised brothels is the main in-

ducement to the kidnappers,

The promiscuous prothel is a Western not a Chinese

custom,

We are informed that they do not exist in the

form we know in the interior of China,

The conditions in Hong Kong seen calculated to put

the highest commercial value on the girl,

We consider the suppression of the brethel would be

an advantage to those anxious to suppress kidnapping, and

we are convinced it is essentiel in the interests of public

health.

The argument that unless the commercial value of the girl as a prostitute is maintained the exposure of girl baoics at birth will increase does not seen to shes a sense of social values, and does not take into account the harm done to the individual girl and the frequent extension of the disease to the household of those whom she infects,

If the British are to undertake to save the unwanted girl babies of Chine they must provide training and maintenance facilities for them so that they may become a

social asset and not a racial poison,

We recommend that the existing laws should be enforced, and that the Government should cease to tolerate brothels

and te register prostitutes.
