slavery, and this time it must be finally and for ever. We must see to it that the Government are pressed to draw up a really comprehensive scheme for the release of the slave girls and children; for the changing of the status of all who are employed in domestic service from that of slaves to paid servants; and for proper provision to be made in all direc- tions in the way of shelter and protection, of such a nature as to inspire confidence instead of fear, for released children, who, having lost all sight of their parents, have no one to whom they dare to turn.
Only by such methods as these can we hope to atone for-we can never undo-the very great wrong which has been done to these girls and children under our flag, for
so many years.
