Your Petitioner can produce further evidence by Indian Constables and others which would throw doubt upon the statement given by the said Tsang Ku.\n\n10. The said Tung Wo Lane is a well-lighted street in close proximity to the Central Police Station and is frequently traversed at all times during the night by some members of the Hongkong Police Force, or the Public, and is one of the last places in the Colony likely to be chosen for the perpetration of such an act as that which your Petitioner was accused of having attempted to perpetrate.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 419149, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "page_number": 258, "title": "CO129-356 - Governor Sir Lugard - 1909 [4-6]", "content_text": "Hon.

The Lyndhurst end of the lane, where the offence was committed, is in pitch darkness at night, and just the place one would expect to be selected for the purpose alleged.\n\nPara. 13.\n\nI was in England at the time and Captain Lyons and Mr. Wodehouse are both absent at present, so I cannot report on the assertions made in this paragraph. I notice however that the statement of admission, which is in Mr. Wodehouse's writing but signed by Gulab, is dated 24th January, 1908. Mr. Wodehouse will be back in about a fortnight and will doubtless be able to clear it up. P.S. Terrett is also at home on leave, and is not due back for many months. But there cannot be the slightest doubt about Gulab's guilt, and I should think the evidence of the lukong and Inspector Murison would be enough to convict him, even without Sergeant Terrett's evidence.\n\n19th April, 1909.\n\n(Sgd.)

The actual text starts from \"and patrolled his beat. Tun Wo Lane was in utter darkness at the time.\"\n\nand patrolled his beat. Tun Wo Lane was in utter darkness at the time. Sergt. Terrett and myself lay in concealment for a considerable time and were saying to ourselves that we believed the whole thing was an imagination on the part of the C.C., when \"Gulab\" came along the lane from the Cochrane Street. He stopped at the top of the steps where we were concealed, shortly afterwards C.C. 159 came along the lane from the same entrance as Gulab had entered from. Gulab and the C.C. stood in the middle of the lane at the top of the steps and had a whispered conversation for about a minute. The C.C. then left Gulab and went along the lane as far as the turn and appeared to be looking towards Cochrane Street. During the time that the C.C. left and the time that he returned Gulab had stepped into a deep doorway on the West side of the lane at the top of the steps where Sergeant Terrett and myself were lying. The C.C. returned in about a couple of minutes and stood facing the doorway into which Gulab had taken up his stand. The C.C., who then had his lamp turned on, brought it round to the front of his body with the light shining on the doorway. I then saw Gulab standing in the doorway with his trousers undone. I saw Gulab take hold of the C.C.'s hand and place his penis in it. Immediately I saw this, I jumped up, went up to them, and asked\n\nand seemed Gulab what was the matter, he did not answer me, stunned for the time being. I asked him to dress himself, but\n\nhad to repeat the order three times before he complied. After he had buttoned up his trousers, he asked me for a chance. I told him I could give him no chance and that he had to accompany Sergeant Terrett and myself to the Charge-room. We took him to the Charge-room and called the Chief Detective Inspector. That finished my part of the business.\n\n(Sd.)

The Jemadar is correct in saying that I wrote to him telling him to make a statement. Captain Lyons gave me orders to do so. I cannot remember the second letter referred to, nor the circumstances which led to\n\nCaptain Lyons making an entry on the 20th January on the\n\nDefaulter Sheet - 'Admits the charge'. I do not think I was\n\npresent when the Acting Captain Superintendent dealt with him.\n\n4.\n\nI had several interviews with the Jemadar,\n\nand on one occasion he produced a written statement denying the charges in toto, alleging that Sergeants Murison and Terrett had a spite against him, and that their evidence and that of the\n\nChinese Constable was absolutely false.

About 12:30 a.m., the C.C. entered the lane from Cochrane Street and examined the lane with his lantern. He then left the lane by the same way as he entered and returned almost immediately in company with Jemadar Gulab. They both went to a recess on the East side of the top of the steps where I was lying concealed and there held a whispered conversation. They then both went to a doorway on the West side of the same steps, almost immediately opposite. The C.C. left the doorway, apparently to examine the lane to make doubly sure that no one was about, the Jemadar remaining in the doorway until the C.C. returned. I then heard a short conversation, and afterwards saw the C.C. shine his lantern into the doorway. The Jemadar was standing facing outwards; his tunic and trousers were unbuttoned and his penis exposed. The flashing of the lantern being the signal arranged upon, we both ran up the few steps and confronted \"Gulab\". I asked him \"what is the meaning of this\" but received no reply.

About 10 P.M. on the 3rd August 1919, I was on board the float which was lying at the buoy in the Harbour, off Statue Wharf. I heard a Police whistle being sounded, the sound appeared to be in the direction of the Star Ferry Wharf. I heard someone shout in Chinese for a boat to be lowered from the Float. Along with Wong Kan King & Lo Kwai, two of the seamen, I lowered the dinghy. We rowed the dinghy in the direction from which the sound came. At a distance of about 15 yards from the Fraya, I saw a man struggling in the water. Sergeant Wall Field was also in the water. I saw Sergeant Field get on board a sampan and attempt to get the man on board. The man whom Sergeant Field was attempting to rescue was struggling violently.

Supt. of Police,\n\nJose C. de Obaldia is from 30 to 32 years of age, native of Panama. He is come of a good family, his father having been a General at the time of the revolution in Panama, but the son is said to be a bit of a scallywag. He arrived here about 1913, when he was appointed Consul for Panama in Hongkong. I see by the Directory that in 1916 he was Acting Consul for Portugal, also for Panama and Brazil. In 1917 acting as Consul for Guatemala, Panama and Brazil. In 1918 acting as Consul for Guatemala, Panama and Brazil. In 1919 acting as Consul for Guatemala and Panama. In 1919 the Government of Panama dismissed him from his post as Consul in Hongkong. In 1920 Directory, his name does not appear opposite any post.\n\nHe is said to associate with Andreo Baleros and Joaquim Sierra, two Filipinos who keep a barber's shop here. It is also rumoured that the two Filipinos and Mr. Obaldia are not above suspicion of being concerned in the smuggling of opium into and out of the Colony. (The Police have no definite proof of this).\n\nOn one occasion in the Hongkong Hotel, the 2nd Engineer of the s.s.\"Hanamet\" gave Mr. Obaldia a thrashing. The Engineer had grounds for believing that Mr. Obaldia had been interfering with his wife. It is also rumoured that Mr. Obaldia has been heard to boast that he could make $300 a day. Outside the posts he has held as Consuls, he had not been known to employ himself in any other honest capacity. He is also said to frequent the restaurants and brothels in Kennedy Town. He resides at No.21 Old Bailey Street. His wife is not at present in the Colony.\n\nWm.

Neville-Rolfe | O.B.E. |\n| Dr. R. Hallam | |\n\nThe Commission arrived in Singapore on the morning of January 17th, 1921. Captain Hacker, R.A.M.C., who had been appointed as Local Secretary, met us at the Docks.\n\nTheir Excellencies, Sir Lawrence and Lady Guillemard, were in the Federated Malay States, and did not return to Singapore until Saturday, the 22nd; we did not have an opportunity of meeting them until Monday, the 24th. In their absence, Sir William H. Murison, Colonial Secretary, was Acting Governor.\n\nThe programme submitted to the authorities had been modified owing to our arrival three days later than anticipated. Unfortunately, the preliminary Conference had been cancelled. We found the disadvantage of this throughout our whole stay in Singapore, as it was only on the last day that an official Conference was convened by His Excellency the Governor that we were able to reach many of the representative persons whose assistance and co-operation we required.\n\nWe saw Sir William Murison the afternoon of our arrival and discussed with him the programme of the Commission. He intimated that the out-of-pocket expenses of the Commission on transport, printing, hire of halls, etc., would be defrayed by the Colonial Government, and he advised us that the Principal Civil Medical Officer had only just been appointed; also that the Governor of Hong Kong had communicated with them advising that the Commission should not be received, but that His Excellency the Governor, after careful consideration, had not altered his decision to receive us.\n\nThe communication from Hong Kong had, however, given rise to considerable uneasiness, especially with reference to the Chinese population. I informed Sir William Murison as to the result of our experiences in Shanghai and Hong Kong with reference to the Chinese population, and also with reference to the change in the point of view of the Hong Kong authorities after the visit of the Commission.\n\nArrangements were made for the Educational Commissioner to see the Protector of the Chinese in order to arrange for the Commission to meet the Chinese.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-472 - Others - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490749, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "page_number": 442, "title": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "content_text": "# SINGAPORE \n-2- \n439 \n**CONFIDENTIAL** \n\nAdvisory Committee, no arrangements having been included in the preliminary programme for any conference with representatives of Chinese or Native opinion.\n\n## FEDERATED MALAY STATES\n\nAt the medical conferences, the question was raised as to the advisability of the Commission visiting Kuala Lumpur and holding conferences of the Planters' and Medical Committees. We consulted Sir William Murison on this point. H.M.S. \"Halaya\" was visiting Port Swettenham during that week; it was difficult, therefore, to make arrangements. Our local programme made it impossible to suggest to the Kuala Lumpur authorities any day except Sunday, as at that time we expected our boat to sail on Tuesday, the 25th. Sir William Murison cabled to the Government representative at Kuala Lumpur advising them that a Sunday visit would be possible. The authorities there found that it was impracticable; other efforts were made later during our stay, but the visit was not able to be arranged without giving to them the only day on which the Governor could convene a Conference for the formation of a Singapore Branch. We, therefore, left work in the Federated Malay States to be undertaken by the representatives of the local Branch in the future. Fortunately, however, we have had opportunities of discussing possible forms of medical and educational organisation for the Federated Malay States, both with the Principal Civil Medical Officer and with His Excellency the Governor, and with one of the provincial residents. It is intended by all that the principle of free diagnosis and treatment should be extended to the Federated Malay States, and that post-graduate teaching should be given to the medical practitioners in charge of the travelling dispensaries that carry out most of the Western medicine undertaken in the Federated Malay States. The prevalence of Venereal Disease among the Malays is reported as extremely high.\n\n## CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE\n\nThrough Sir William Murison, interviews were arranged with Dr. Lim Boon Keng, leader of the Chinese community and Chinese member of the Legislative Council; and with Mr. Gibbons, Chairman of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce. The latter undertook to have notices of the film showings distributed to all members of the Chamber of Commerce with a covering letter signed by himself asking them to invite all the European members of their staffs. Dr. Lim Boon Keng had already taken part in the Venereal Disease controversy which had arisen in the local Medical Association with reference to the formation of a Federated Malay States Branch of the Society for the Prevention of Venereal Disease. A year ago, considerable correspondence had arisen in the press in which the Bishop and various laymen had attacked the Society for the Prevention of Venereal Diseases, and the latter Society had been supported by various members of the medical fraternity. Dr. Lim Boon Keng delivered a paper to the Medical Association advising unity between the two groups. He promised support to the policy of the Council and advised our laying our proposals before the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. He gave me an introduction to the President of the Chinese Chamber, whom I saw.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-472 - Others - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490753, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "page_number": 446, "title": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "content_text": "## SINGAPORE\n### CONFIDENTIAL\n-6- \n443 \n\n**MERCANTILE MARINE (continued)**\n\nThe following day, a well-attended drawing-room meeting was held at Lady Murison's, presided over by Her Excellency Lady Guillemard, at which a representative Committee of women was appointed with directions to co-operate with the Men's Committee in formulating plans for a Singapore Welfare Association which should undertake to promote facilities for recreation for officers and men of the Mercantile Marine and for the junior employees of the firms. The Educational Commissioner was invited by Her Excellency to prepare a scheme for the consideration of the Joint Committee meeting, which was to be convened shortly after the departure of the Commission (See `Appendix 3`).\n\n## NEED OF RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AMONG YOUNG EUROPEANS\n\nNo organisation exists by which newcomers to the Colony are brought in touch with responsible residents. We were informed by several young men that they had been 18 months or a year in Singapore without ever speaking to a white woman. With many firms, it is not etiquette for the junior employees (often University men) to associate with the partners and their wives. The subscriptions to the various young clubs are too numerous and too high, and large numbers cannot afford to join. The Cricket Club has the largest membership, but provides no recreation but cricket for the players.\n\nHousing accommodation for young Europeans is bad. As an instance of the need for social effort, the following authentic case was quoted: Three young members of the Eastern Telegraph staff arrived in the Island. They landed and hunted for rooms, went first to a hotel, found it too expensive, so moved into lodgings kept by Eurasians. They had spoken to none but their immediate office chief for six weeks after their arrival; at the end of that time, two of the three were in the General Hospital suffering from Venereal Disease.\n\n## PROSTITUTION\n\n### Conditions\n\nThe conditions as to prostitution were not quite as undesirable as they were in Hong Kong.\n\nThere is practically no trouble, as far as could be ascertained, with reference to the boarding of ships by women. Enquiries were made through the Association of Engineers, the Merchant Service Guild, the Superintendent of the Boustead Institute, and others. The European prostitutes have been banished and their brothels closed. The Japanese Consul recently took steps to remove the Japanese prostitutes. A small proportion were entirely removed from the Colony; the majority were taken out of the brothels and remained in the Colony, continuing their occupation clandestinely.\n\nA large number of brothels are recognised by the Government, though not licensed; the Government have power to remove them at any time, but if they are decently conducted, they are allowed to remain.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-472 - Others - 1921.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 490756, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "page_number": 449, "title": "CO129-472 - Others - 1921", "content_text": "## SINGAPORE \n### FILMS (continued)\n\n446 \n**CONFIDENTIAL**\n\nAudiences attended each showing, but included a number of Asiatics. After the first performance, the authorities were consulted, but thought it was more advisable to allow the advertised programme to be carried through.\n\nThe Acting Governor communicated with the Governor asking whether he would return in time to preside at a meeting called to take place in the Cinema Theatre on Friday, the 21st. The Governor's return was delayed until Saturday night; Sir William Murison therefore consented to preside at the meeting.\n\n### PRESS\n\nThe authorities raised no objection to full use being made of the press. Unfortunately, the editor of the leading paper, **\"THE STRAITS TIMES\"**, was very opposed to the visit of the Commission. However, we were able to meet him unofficially, a few days after our arrival, and although his views did not, even at the end, fully coincide with the views of the Commission, his uncompromising opposition became effective support for certain measures. The Chinese press was also available, and the Chinese meetings were fully reported.\n\n### SOCIAL ORGANISATIONS\n\nSingapore has no very active social organisations except the Y.M.C.A., which is staffed by Europeans and excellently equipped. It serves all nationalities, but mainly educated Chinese and Eurasians. It is a branch of the American organisation.\n\nThe Y.W.C.A. provides hostel accommodation for girls, but mostly occupied by permanent boarders. An experienced Canadian woman has recently been appointed as Secretary, and the Committee have expressed their intention to develop along progressive lines. The need of adequate recreational facilities for the Eurasian shop assistant type was explained. Miss Rutherford went over with the Commissioner plans for (1) Providing welcome for the Stewardesses on incoming ships, (2) The opening of a lunch and reading room for working girls in the town, (3) Social evenings for men and women (suitable passing seafarers could be invited), (4) Various group recreation clubs suited to the races to be provided for.

The meeting was attended by about 70 members. The principle of free diagnosis and treatment was agreed to without dissent, and a resolution was passed in favour of an enquiry being held concerning the best methods of dealing with the local prostitution.\n\n## SEAFARING POPULATION \n\nPort Conditions: Very little difficulty exists with reference to the visiting of ships in harbour by women. It does occur in the case of various ships lying alongside, but efforts are made to check it and the police have full powers which are used. Considerable solicitation by post and rickshaw from Eurasian prostitutes occurs.\n\nWith reference to recreation and accommodation of officers and men of the Mercantile Marine, the seamen, as in the other ports, are mainly Asiatics. The problem is, therefore, to provide increased accommodation and recreation for officers. The existing home has some available accommodation for officers. The building is in bad repair and is badly managed. The Committee intend to rebuild. It is available for seafarers of all nations except Asiatics.\n\nOne British Line maintains a bungalow as a residential club for the use of their officers. The extension of this scheme was strongly advocated at all representative meetings of shipowners, etc.\n\nA special Conference was convened by the Mayor on January 24th between the Commissioners and the Harbour Board, Municipal and Port Medical Authorities, Representatives of the Navy and the Mercantile Marine, the Seamen's Home and the Y.M.C.A. (American).\n\nThe P.C.M.O. reported his intention of opening a free clinic at Tanjong Pagar without delay.\n\nThe question of accommodation and recreation were raised. Housing accommodation is inadequate throughout the Colony, and it is improbable that anything effective will be done in the direction of hostel accommodation.

The Council passed a resolution in favour of free diagnosis and treatment, and offered to appoint a Committee from among their own number to confer with the Medical Department, or with the local Council for Combating Venereal Diseases if formed. This Committee would both advise and initiate on educational matters.\n\nThe Chinese Chamber of Commerce meeting was presided over by the President, and between 50 and 30 members were present.

They wished to obtain their attention and interest in a subject which they thought was of vital importance to those present and every other member of the community. The subject, as they knew, was venereal disease, which he thought they might look upon in the light of a public health problem. It was only a matter of a short space of time that any interest had been taken in the subject. One might say that that began with the appointment by the British Government of a Commission to enquire into the problem, which in 1915 gave very startling figures as to these diseases in Great Britain. They announced that one in every ten of all the populations of the large towns had syphilis and a still larger percentage had gonorrhoea. They also pointed out that those patients suffering from the disease filled the workhouses, asylums and poor law institutions. Did those conditions prevail in Singapore? He was certain from what he had seen and heard during the past few days that they did. He had just obtained figures from the local asylum for the insane and he found that just under half the men there were suffering from syphilis and that 12 out of the 17 women were known to be suffering from the disease. He had also visited several hospitals and he was surprised to find such a large number of the patients suffering from those diseases.\n\nThe speaker went on to say that the Royal Commission not only showed the ravages the disease had wrought but had put forward certain recommendations regarding the treatment that should be given to sufferers at the expense of the country, while they also recommended that the general public should be educated so as to realise the dangers of venereal disease, and be provided with facilities to treat it. The speaker then referred to the discovery of the syphilis germ in 1906, and the finding, later, of a drug which had a miraculous effect on the disease, and which the British Government were so anxious should be used to treat it. It was their desire, as well as that of the Commission, that some of the recommendations of the Commission should be carried out in Singapore, and in this connection they hoped that all those present would take an interest in the subject and \"pass on\" the information imparted to them that evening.\n\nMrs. Neville Roife, O.B.E., then addressed the meeting and in the course of her remarks observed that the subject was not one that could be dealt with in tight compartments, as the community as a whole must combine to find a solution.

They wished to obtain the attention of the public to a subject which they thought of vital importance to those present and every other member of the community. The subject, as they knew, was venereal disease, which he thought they might look at in the light of a public health problem. It was only a matter of a short time that any interest had been taken in the subject, and one might say that it began with the appointment by the British Government of a Commission to inquire into the problem. In 1915 that Commission gave very startling figures as to the diseases in Great Britain. They announced that one in every ten of all the inhabitants of the large towns had syphilis, and a still larger percentage had gonorrhoea. They also pointed out that a large number of patients suffering from the disease were in the workhouses, asylums, and poor institutions.\n\n### Conditions in Singapore.\n\nThose conditions prevail in Singapore. He was certain from what he had read and heard during the past few days that they did. He had just obtained figures from the local asylum for the insane and found that just under half the men there were suffering from syphilis and 15 out of the 17 women were known to be suffering from the disease. He had visited several hospitals and he was astonished to find such a large number of patients suffering from those diseases. The Royal Commission not only pointed out the ravages of the disease amongst the population, but they also made certain recommendations. These were to the effect that treatment should be given to all those suffering at the expense of the country. They also recommended that the general public should be educated to know the dangers of venereal disease and also be provided with facilities for treatment.\n\n### Combatable Measures.\n\nAntiquity with the disease was often used as an excuse against any measure for combating it. Syphilis was a disease discovered in 1906, and its discovery led to still further discoveries which eventually led to the finding of a drug, which had a miraculous effect on the disease, and it was that drug which the British Government were anxious should be used in every case of syphilis. It was their desire and also the desire of the Commission that some recommendations would be carried into effect in Singapore. It was no good having facilities for treatment unless they had the education of the public. They hoped all of those present would take interest in the subject and pass on the information they gave them that day. The film to be presented that evening \"Damaged Goods\" only dealt with one of the diseases. The film was adapted from the well-known French play and dealt only with syphilis.\n\n### Necessity for Co-operation.\n\nMrs. Neville Rolfe then addressed the meeting and said that it might seem rather strange that the first public presentation of that subject should include among others who brought it to their notice – a woman, but they were concerned that the question should be considered both by men and women to try and find a practical solution to an extremely difficult position. It was not a question that could be dealt with in water-tight compartments. The community as a whole must combine to find a solution. It was no longer a matter to which one attached any stigma with syphilis and gonorrhoea. It must be dealt with as tuberculosis and smallpox.\n\n### Legislation.\n\nAt the conclusion of the Commissioners' addresses, Sir William Murison said they were very much obliged to them for their interesting and able addresses. They had addressed a good many meetings during the past few days, one of which was to the members of the Legislative Council, and the reception to the views they put forward was most favourable. Sir William said he thought he could assure those present that before long there would be legislation in Singapore on the lines of treatment as indicated by the Commissioners. Singapore being a collecting port and an international port, it was of the highest importance that it should not be behind in such legislation.\n\nMuch interest was shown in the film \"Damaged Goods,\" which was afterwards screened.\n\n## HEALTH COMMISSION MEETINGS.\n\nThe following are the meetings under the patronage of the Government of the Straits Settlements, which will be addressed by Rupert Hallam and Mrs. Neville O.B.E., members of the N.C.C.V.D.

He reminded the members of the fact that the question of the provision of free diagnosis and treatment for the seafaring population of all nations was to be discussed at the conference of the health section of the League of Nations to be held at Geneva in February, 1921. Dr. Hallam then outlined the recommendations which have been approved by the National Council for Combating Venereal Disease, namely: the provision of free diagnosis, the provision of free treatment, early treatment centres, and a campaign of education of the general public. He pointed out that on matters of prophylaxis and prostitution, personal opinion and the opinion of the Society were in favour of early treatment rather than personal prophylaxis, and suppression rather than segregation. In support of these views, he quoted a letter by Colonel Harrison on the results of the experiences with prophylactic packets in Rhine Army and he also drew attention to Flexner's views on the subject. He pointed out that in all countries where a public health policy was adopted, very active measures were being taken to provide modern treatment for venereal diseases and also the segregation of prostitutes. He cited the fact that even in Japan, the public health department were in favour of suppressing brothels, and cited as an instance the improvement in one of the counties of Japan in which the law had been already enforced.\n\nDr. Hallam realised that the conditions in these Far Eastern ports differed considerably from those found in Europe, nevertheless he wished to impress on the members of the medical profession here that the views of many experts were opposed to recognised methods, and that these views were supported by many recorded facts which were worthy of the most profound consideration before coming to a final opinion. In conclusion, he asked for the approval of the members of the Association in giving approval to the proposals mentioned above.\n\n### Position in Malaya\n\nDr. Galloway in his reply gave full approval to the establishment of free diagnosis and free treatment, and although approving of a campaign of education of the general public in principle, he was of opinion that little could be done on that score in Singapore. He then proceeded to point out the great divergence which existed between the actuality as existing here and the commonly accepted ideals, which were held on this subject in civilised countries. He laid stress on the fact that the social and economical conditions in the Straits and F.M.S. were probably unique and that it was futile to attempt to apply methods based on evidence or experience gained in other countries to the conditions which obtained here. He urged that the only way by which any useful measure could be evolved to deal with the evil was by a careful study of the local conditions and, to that end, he moved the resolution:-\"That this Association do memorialise the Government of the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States to cause full inquiry to be made as to (a) the prevalence of venereal disease, (b) the cause of that prevalence, (c) means of treatment, (d) means of prevention, and (e) the subject of prostitution generally.\"\n\nDr. Rattray, in seconding Dr. Galloway's proposal, stated that for the past year he had been making efforts to establish a kindred society in Malaya, viz., the S.P.V.D. These efforts had been crowned with success and his society is established here on a sound foundation. Dr. Rattray considered that his society went a necessary step further than the N.C.C.V.D., namely, in giving greater prominence to the value of disinfectants as a preventative of venereal disease.\n\nDr. Hoops joined the discussion and thought that the seafaring population should receive greater attention. He gave his experiences of the value of anti-venereal clinics which he had established in Kedah.\n\nDr. Hacker gave an account of his experiences with the Garrison in Singapore. He was in favour of early treatment.\n\nIn the subsequent discussion, Dr. Candrick, Dr. Glass, Dr. Dawson, and Dr. van Dort joined.\n\nDr. Hallam replied briefly and the proceedings were terminated by the unanimous adoption of Dr. Galloway's resolution.\n\nThe council and members of the Malaya branch of the British Medical Association entertained the Commissioners to dinner at the Europe Hotel at night. There were present:-Dr. Malcolm Watson (President, Malaya branch B.M.A.), Mrs. Rolfe, Miss Grant, Dr. Hallam (Commissioners of N.C.C.V.D.), Mr. Haynes (Secretary to the High Commissioner, Malay States), Mrs. Haynes, Dr. Hoops, Mr. and Mrs. Cavendish, Dr. and Mrs. Brooke, Dr. Lim Boon Keng, Dr. Hunter, Dr. Fry, Dr. and Mrs. Taylor, Dr. Dexter Allen, Dr. and Mrs. Black, Dr. and Mrs. Rattray, Dr. Stookes, Dr. Scharff (hon. sec.
