I see that Shiels made a statement in the
House the other day, which might be interpreted as
meaning that I agree with a policy of total abolition
of brothels. I am afraid that that is not the case,
though I may have said that Government might be forced
by the League of Nations, or some such body, to adopt such a policy. Personally, I am against it in
Eastern colonies and have always felt convinced that
the effect of such a policy would be for the worse.
It is a question on which I could say more, but will
leave it alone for the present. It is a question
where both the General and the Admiral should be
consulted, and I trust that it may be possible to stave
off abolition, at all events until we have seen what
the effects of such a policy in Malaya are. I
discussed it with Sir Shouson Chow the other day,
and he made some sly but apposite digs at London!
