House of Commons,157
Dear I. Thomas,
You are probably more that considerable unensiness
has been aroused by xwicku revorta of unentisfactory condition
reloting to sonial hygiene in the British Crown Colonies,
particularly in lon. Kong and the Straits Settlements.
Feeling that it is not altogether desirable to raise
technical mattern of this kind by Parlimentary ques ions in
the House of Commons, we should mach precinte it if you
would allow us to meet you as a small deputation, to lay
before you wroposals which, 1o adopted, would, we think, tend
to slly publie uneminent, and which might also be of 40His-
tande by planing at your diaposal the best non-o Ticină expert
opinion.
The aspects of social hygiene to which we specially
refer arej❤
provision for maternity and infant welfare;
the position of the "ul toni; fnoilities for the treatment of
Suberculosis; the system of tolerated brothels and vine areas; the policy towardo venere-l diseases and "^nilities for their
effective treatment.
Yours sincerely,
The Rt.lon.".".Thorina,
