o the work of the Committee.

atul That Commission

The Mui-soi Commission in their report make two recommendations which concern the Po Leung Kuk, One is that a separate bullding should be provided as a refuge for prostitutes

This is an Interesting proposal, but it is not on the agenda at this meeting. The other is a sug-1 gestion-that-we-should-consider the Inclusion of ladies in the membership of the Annual Committee..

This is not of course a new pro- posal. It has been under considera- tlon for some time and have no doubt that it would have been made In any case from within the member- ship of the Kuk, if not this year, then next year. You have already, at a celing recently held, decided to accep! the

recommendation in principle and I should like to con- gratulate you on your decision.

As

to its desirability I need only point to the Improvements which followed the appointment of Lady Visitors. As to the possibility of securing sult- able candidates I do not think that there can, in these enlightened days, be any lack of them, as soon as the Iirst step is taken. I have just re- turned from the Conference held if Java

under the auspices of the League of Nations to which the Re- public of China sent eight delegates, four of whom were women. I do not think that the women of long- kong will prove backward In this respeel.

The business before us is now the election of the new Commilice.

The names of the Committee for the coming year are as follows:

Mr. Au_Shlu-cho, Mr. Luk Ol-wan. Mr. Lo Tung-fan, Mrs. Tam Chu Sul-ying (Mrs. Tam Woon-tong), Mr. Chan Cheuk-man, Mr. Cheung Lan- chau, Mr. Kwok Lam-pat, Mr. Lam Chik-ho. Mc. Tsang Hin-hung, Mr. Wong Cheuk-hing, Mr. Wong, Chi- po, and Mr. L Kwok-ying.
