240 THE WHITE SLAVE MARKET
require that an English woman doctor be
employed for the benefit of the British women
taken there, and that a lock-hospital be provided
for them. Further, that the police
authorities in the British Isles should have
power to cable the movements of " "
suspected
pimps to the country where they are
booked to disembark, that evidence should
be taken in the said country as to the nefarious
trade of the " pimp," and that if a
prima facie case be made out the " pimp "
should be sent back to the place of embarka-
tion, to be dealt with as the law directs.
We further suggest that the commissioner
of police in charge of the white
slave traffic, the prevention of men living
on the immoral earnings of women, and the
bringing to justice of procurers and procuresses,
should be assisted by a Special
Service Brigade, no member of which should
rank lower than a detective-sergeant. Also,
that only members of the Special Service
Brigade, and other officers ranking not lower
than a detective-sergeant, be empowered to
arrest on suspicion men or women coming
within the category of white slave traffic
offences.
A grave warning we have to add. As a
nation we have a habit of " cooling down "
and growing indifferent after a subject has
been touched upon. We suppose other countries
have it too it is human nature to get very
much worked up and troubled about certain
matters an enormous fuss is made about
