Before I leave this subject, I would like to add that Masters of enfile ships have told me that they are helpless. They are not allowed to interfere with the Chinese in charge of cattle and pigs.

Police Always Ready The police

are always ready to belp animals. In addition to their official duties, they often come to the Society as private citizens. I von- ture to take Sir Andrew Caldecott's words as a justification for remlading all members of the Police Force that they can, as private citizens, report to us matters which they see, which requires action, or investigation, even though police action is not called for.
