Our Special Commissioner here exposes the existence of an organized illicit traffic in men, and reveals the remarkable carcer of an Oriental known as "the Dope King, who was recently deported from London and is believed to be organizing the smuggling from a foreign port. He is held in terror by the Chinese in our ports..
Along the low-lit road that slinks from the busy centre of Cardiff to the docks swing creaking over the parements number of wooden signs unintelligible to the Occidental eye, but to the Chinese, Japs, Malays Lascars, telling that Bo and-So keeps shop or restaurant there. If you enter one of these establish- ments remembering Thomas Burke and his Limehouse Nights, and expecting to discover gay-lamped haunts with lily- topgued yellow nen and beautiful white girls squatting in a purple haze on low couches and smoking opium or hashish, you will be sadly disappointed. Women there will be, of course-if you can call them. women. the poor hall-starved looking drabs with puddled tar faces, who,fed-up with the drudgery of domestic service or fleeing from the satiety of the streets, have entered the bondage of the Oriental

Another such man as Brilliant Chang a appearance, Westernised by a college education, polished, disarmingly bladd with apparently an volimited sup ply of money, the mystery man, I learned, has succeeded in establishing a sort of hierarchy of terror over the Chinese.
Hardly is there a Chinese restaurattur in Cardiff, Liverpool, or Limehouse but does not know and fear him, even the casual mertica of his name is enough to charge, the atmosphere with suspicion und distrust. The mystery mac's power is insidious, and his spies are everywhere.
