This isavery satisfactory report and
shows clearly that active steps are being
taken by the Hong Kong Government to carry
out the policy of the Secretary of State.
The number of Muitsai on the register has
declined by 350 in the eleven months, 1st
July, 1930 to 31st May, 1931. In six to
eight years there will be none left on the
register and, of course, the Muitsai on the
register are now in the position of free
paid domestic workers. Their wages are at
present very small, but we have asked the
Governor to rectify that (No. 9).
As regards inspection, the appointment
of an European Sub-Inspector of Police is
probably the best that could have been made.
We may be attacked on the ground that the
special Muitsai Inspector should have been
a lady, but I have no doubt the Governor
has considered that, anu decided that the
balance of advantage lay in appointing a
police officer and leaving the lady inspectors
to be appointed by the Society for the Protection of Chilaren. The European Sub-
Inspector will, of course, be additional to
the European Inspector already seconded to the Chinese Affairs Department for work in
connection
